Warrior Ceremony For Sparkpaw.

Sunday,
I talked with Spottedeye, Hawkfire, and Tallstar about Sparkpaw becoming a warrior. "I think she should. It's time she became an warrior." Spottedeye mewed. Hawkfire nodded, "I agree." "But what about Sparkpaw's litter mates? Will they become warriors?" I asked. Tallstar shook his head, "No. They didn't fight like she did. Plus, Sparkpaw is really ready to become a warrior." I slowly nodded. Hawkfire and Spottedeye gleamed with pleasure. "Icefur, what shall be Sparkpaw's warrior name?" Tallstar asked. "I know." Icefur answered. She whispered the name into Tallstar's ear. Tallstar nodded in agreement. 
At dusk,
"May all cats gather under the Gorge to hear my words!" Tallstar yowls. I follow Sparkpaw going under the Gorge. Sparkpaw looks at Tallstar. "I, Tallstar, leader of WindClan, call upon my warrior anscestors to look down on this apprentice, Sparkpaw." Tallstar takes a breath and continues. "Sparkpaw, do you promise to stay by the Warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even if it costs your life?" Sparkpaw nods and says, "I do." "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name; Sparkpaw, from this moment on, you'll be known as Sparkheart." Tallstar leans forward and rests his muzzle on her head, and Sparkheart returns with a lick on his shoulder. Sparkheart turns around and everyone yowls her new warrior name. "Sparkheart! Sparkheart!" Me, Spottedeye, and Hawkfire are the loudest. This day is great for WindClan, especially because a new warrior has joined.
