Oh, progress!
"Valeriankit, Ornithokit, Plumeriakit, Fallenkit, Everkit, and Orcakit, step forward."
As his children followed suit, some more eagerly than others, he rolled his head in its socket in contemplative thought. Valeriankit seems to be the most promising heir; to the point, obedient, powerful... But Plumeriakit is poised, beautiful, deceptive in nature. Everkit is another promising future leader of his dynasty. As much as it disturbs him, at some point he fears his kits will have to battle each other for the right to be King or Queen. In some-odd years perhaps only one of the six will still be here.
Shaking his head to dispel those thoughts, he let his gaze travel over them. Why he followed the classic clan traditions in naming apprentices is beyond him, now that he's thinking about it, but he can't be arsed to change the rules right now.
"You six have incredibly splendid blood running through your veins. You are my heirs, all of you. Today begins your preparation for taking MoonClan as your own, and the rest of the clans as well. Valeriankit, from this day forward you will be known as Valerianpaw. I will be your mentor. Ornithokit, you will be known as Ornithopaw. Freefall will be your mentor. He already has an apprentice but we are short on warriors, therefore you will, regrettably, have to partner with Farronpaw."
He looked around at the camp. There was really very few choices open to him. "Plumeriakit, you will be known as Plumeriapaw, and Wildfire shall be your mentor. Fallenkit, you are Fallenpaw. I shall be your mentor. Everkit, you are now Everpaw. Wildfire shall be your mentor. And finally, Orcakit, you will be Orcapaw, and Freefall is your mentor."
"Let me restate this. I will be mentor to Valerianpaw and Fallenpaw. Wildfire mentors Everpaw and Plumeriapaw. Freefall mentors Orcapaw and Ornithopaw."
"All of you are dismissed."
