'Upgrades'

Due to many cats aging rapidly, I will now proceed to make a lot of kits apprentices and a lot of apprentices warriors. Two warriors (who are inactive) shall become elders. I do not take credit for writing this post; I got Ripplestep to, because I'm a lazy person. *w* Everyone, please say thanks to her!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~



It was just after twilight and every cat was sharing tongues. Moonstar was murmuring with Bluemoon and Ripplestep. After a while, she leaped onto the Great Boulder. Bluemoon and Ripplestep padded over and sat in the middle of the clearing. Moonstar then yowled, “Cats old enough to catch their prey please come under the Great Boulder for a Clan meeting!” Cats began to appear from dens and a border patrol just walked into the clearing. When every cat was in the clearing, Moonstar began to speak. “I have called all of you here today so we can witness a few things. First of all, Starshine and Lionfang will be the first residents of the elder’s den. They have decided to retire from their warrior duties and spend the rest of their lives knowing that the Clan will care for them.” As she paused, all of the cats cheered, “Starshine! Lionfang! Starshine! Lionfang!” Starshine and Lionfang dipped their heads in embarrassment and stared at the ground. Moonstar leaped off the Great Boulder and laid her tail on both of their shoulders. Then she ran back up the Great Boulder. After the cheering died down, Moonstar continued, “I also called all of you over for another reason. It is time to make some kits apprentices!” Every cat purred in delight and moved to the sides of the clearing to leave space for the soon to be apprentices. “Please come to the center of the clearing as I announce your name. Whitekit, Mistykit, Dawnkit, Nightkit, Poppykit and Sunkit. You are all old enough to begin your apprenticeship.” All six of the kits stepped forward into the empty space in the clearing.

Site Changes!

So I've made some changes to the layout of our clan, and I hope that you will fine it easier to navigate around and stuff. It looks pretty simple, but I'm hoping that it'll be easier to manage. I spent quite a bit of time on the header and the layout, because I kept on getting the sizes wrong in photoshop and HTML is a real pain to work with.

Anyways, here is the improved (Well, at least in my opinion) HawkClan~! I'll be making a new posts soon because there are a lot of kits who need to become apprentices and a lot of apprentices who need to become warriors. And if you want to have another cat or are thinking about joining but too lazy to make a new cat profile, then visit Adopt-a-Cat, HawkClan's successful 'adoption' program!

Keep on the lookout for the new post!

Gathering + New Cats

So we've fallen apart once again... It's really hard to stay committed because I despise writing (not commenting, just writing posts.) But I'll try as hard as I can~ Ginger, do you want to go find Thunderscar's kits already? We really need to get that sorted out...


Moonstar stood in the middle of the camp clearing, surrounded by cats. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called in order to get her clan members' attention. "I will now announce which cats will be coming to the gathering:
Ripplestep,
Blackash,
Aspentail,
Hawkfur,
Dreamdance,
Tigerstripe,
Hailstorm,
Goldenpaw,
Plumpaw, and
Willowpaw. Those cats who are going, please go get some rest, as we have a long night ahead of us. That is all."

And with those words, the clan leader padded back to her den.

This is...later in the day?


Moonstar leaped onto the Great Boulder, her eyes sparkling with pride for her clan. "Cats of HawkClan!" she yowled. "Today we have three new cats joining us! Willow, Diamond and Hazel, please step forward."
Slowly, three she-cats stepped forward as the whole clan watched.
"This is a proud day for HawkClan, by naming apprentices and warriors we show HawkClan will survive and remain strong. Diamond and Hazel, from now on until you receive your warrior names you will be known as Diamondpaw and Hazelpaw. Hawkfur and Tigerstripe, you are ready for an apprentices, Hawkfur will be Diamondpaw's apprentice and Tigerstripe will be Hazelpaw's. I know you two will pass on your strength, wisdom and bravery to these apprentices, and teach them the skills that will make them a brave warrior of HawkClan."

Moonstar then turned to the other cat. "I, Moonstar, leader of HawkClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat. She has promised hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Willow, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of  your life?"

"I do," the cat called Willow replied, eyes full of determination.

"Then by the powers of DreamClan I give you your warrior name, Willow, from this moment on you will be known as Willowbreeze. StarClan honors your skills as a warrior and we welcome you as a full warrior of HawkClan."

The gray leader stepped backwards, and let the rest of the clan cheer for the three new cats of HawkClan. "Diamondpaw! Hazelpaw! Willowbreeze! Diamondpaw! Hazelpaw! Willowbreeze!"
