A season passed for Coldeyes to grow as a warrior. He had over come his grief of Dapplepaw enough where he didn't mope and was a proud warrior of Thunderclan.
But now it was time. Time for him to take on an apprentice. Coldeyes had associated himself with the kits in the nursery who were going to become apprentices soon. The two kits from before, Foxkit and Lostkit had become Foxpaw and Lostpaw. Their mentors were Ivywhisp and Goldsoul.
All he learned were their names and Coldeyes resented one of them.
"All cats old enough... to catch their own prey! Gather here beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!" Sandstar's rusty yowl sounded in the camp. Coldeyes had been informed by Ambercloud that he was getting an apprentice but she refused to tell him which kit.
The large white tom found a spot relatively close to the front of the crowd.
"Today is the day two new apprentices will be made! Southkit, and Dapplekit!" Sandstar announced. Coldeyes had already knew their names and felt his fur prickle with anxiety, fearing which kit he would mentor. Coldeyes felt his chest rise with relief when Sandstar looked to the back of the crowd, but it crashed back down after what he said.
"Poppyclaw, you will be mentor to Southkit." The faded blonde tom said. He looked down at Coldeyes with a soft gaze. Outside Coldeyes may have seemed prepared but underneath he felt as if he were going through a crisis.
"Coldeyes, you will mentor Dapplekit. Both of you kits shall be known as Southpaw and Dapplepaw until you earn your warrior names. Understood?" Sandstar asked. Both of the young toms nodded happily. Poppyclaw touched noses with Southpaw and Coldeyes approached Dapplepaw. He hesitantly touched the apprentice's nose.
"Southpaw! Dapplepaw!" The clan cheered.
