Bubblepaws' Destiny: Chapter 4
Bubblepaw padded after her mentor, Breezesong, towards the marshlands to practice battle moves with Finpaw.
Her and Finpaw almost always trained together, their mentors were friends, and she loved it; Finpaw is her best friend. She heard that they would have their warrior assessment within the next moon, so she was training extra hard to learn everything she could, so was Finpaw.
As they got to the open marshlands, she was excited, they were going to practice battle moves in the water! Those were her favorite battle moves, as she loved swimming.
"Hey Finpaw! Last one in the water is crow-food!" she meowed playfully
"HEY NO FAIR! YOU GOT A HEAD START!" Finpaw yowled as she raced into the water
"I'm not going to practice with crow-food," she said playfully to their mentors.
"You two are supposed to be training, not messing around like kits!" Birchstar's stern meow stopped their playtime
"Yes Birchstar.." they both meowed
They trained from sun-high, to the evening, perfecting the battle moves.
"Great job you two, you better get some rest, your warrior assessment is tomorrow!" Breezesong said, and both apprentices were shocked, it couldn't be this soon, could it?
THE NEXT DAY
Finpaw and Bubblepaw woke up, they were the last apprentices in the clan, and they wouldn't be for long!
"Finpaw! Bubblepaw! Come on, it's time" Breezesong called.
The two apprentices raced towards their mentors, it's finally time, and they bounced up and down in excitement.
"You two calm down, stop acting like kits just out of the nursery." Breezesong reminded them, "Bubblepaw, catch as much prey as you can. Same to you, Finpaw."
The apprentices raced into the forest, searching for prey in different directions, Bubblepaw went to go fishing in the lake, there was always a lot of prey there, whereas Finpaw went to hunt in the marshlands, frogs, birds, and a few fish were there.
Later, Bubblepaw had caught 3 fish, and Finpaw caught a starling, a thrush, a carp, and a toad. They walked through their territory back to their mentors, hoping they passed their assessment.
"May all cats gather beneath the wet rock for a clan meeting!" Birchstar yowled, it was time for both of the warrior ceremonies. "I, Birchstar of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Finpaw, Bubblepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," They both mewed eagerly
"Then by the powers of me, I give you your warrior names. Finpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Finblade, Starclan honors your loyalty, and your strength. Bubblepaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Bubblepaws, Starclan honors your speed, and kindness."
Bubblepaws was outraged, Bubblepaws?!?! that's barely more than an apprentice name! She didn't speak up though, she didn't want to go against Birchstar's wishes.
"Bubblepaws! Finblade! Bubblepaws! Finblade," the clan chanted.
Hey y'all! Next time I'm planning to reveal the prophecy to Bubblepaws, and possibly reveal what the prophecy means! I know I skipped a long time in this, but it's chapter 4, it's time for them to become warriors.
