Firestar had allowed her duties to slip but for a good reason. While there was a ceremony naming two new apprentices, Batpaw and Ravenpaw, there hadn't been a formal ceremony to assign them mentors. It was primarily done in order to let Firestar decide which cats would be better suited to train the future warriors of LightingClan. The losses they had all suffered in the clutches of Leafbare had resulted in fewer kits making Firestar a careful leader. She wanted the Clan's apprentices to train under capable warriors who would aid in cultivating the next generation.
Every choice she made as leader was to ensure the survival of her Clan and the conquest they had planned. StoneClan would lose their lovely sunstones and LightingClan would enjoy the warmth they provided and food source in the cooler moons. Climbing up to the top of the small hill within their camp, Firestar looked over the camp and found that the camp activity was winding down. Cats were curled together or sharing a meal even the claw of the moon shone down on them. Stars dazzled in the sky added to Firestar's idea that what she was planning was allowed by StarClan.
"Let cats old enough to catch their own prey gather before Hill Tip" Her words rang out clearly as her short tail flicked back and forth. Eyes perked up toward her as those who lingered on the camp edge rose up and moved in closer. The white pelt of Brigtpool emerged from the warrior's den. Firestar's own mate Russetfall had just re-entered the camp having taken a small group of warriors on a patrol.
The she-cat leader of LightingClan waited for cats to gather before glancing a last time toward the sky. "I have neglected my duties as leader in favor of cultivating our plans to take the Sun Stones. However, I will neglect them no longer." She found the shape of Batpaw among the crowd her amber eyes watching the young apprentice.
"Batpaw, no longer will you be without a mentor. Brigtpool will be taking over your training. Brightpool, you have shown great dedication in ensuring the health of LightingClan. I trust that you will be able to share those skill and sense of duty with Batpaw." She gave each of them a solid nod before allowing them the time to meet each other. Brightpool was nervous but felt honoured that Firestar had chosen her and met her apprentice with a brave face.
Her attention moved to Ravenpaw and spotted Gustclaw within the crowd. "Likewise, Ravenpaw will no longer be with a mentor. Gustclaw will be taking your training. Gustclaw has overcome some challenges and proved himself to be a noble warrior of LightingClan. I trust that you will be a good mentor to Ravenpaw, teach him well," Firestar again let the two cat meet before flicking her tail to signal the meeting was over.
