Hollystar smiled proudly from where she stood on the speaking stone.Even thought she hadn't called the clan together for a clan meeting yet, most of the clan was already gathered.Word had spread fast of the apprentice ceremonies that were to be held at sun high, after she'd spoken with both her brother Fangheart and his mate about their kits.
She looked up at the sky thoughtfully for a moment before deciding it was close enough to sun high to start the meeting."Let all those who are old enough to see the hills at the edge of our territory, gather beneath the speaking stone for a clan meeting!"She yowled as her voice echoed through out the camp and surrounding territory.
It didn't take long for the few cats missing to join the rest of the clan.When everyone was seated she began speaking again,"Our clan is blessed by plentiful prey and many kits."She began.
"As you all know, two of our kits have reached the age of 6 moons and are ready to be apprentices."She mewed her eyes glowing proudly as she spoke about her young kin.Her smile softened as she watched Fangheart and Ivywhisker lead Whitekit and Backkit through the parting clan members to the speaking stone.Hollystar smiled reassuringly at them as their parents beaming with pride sat down nearby leaving them both standing alone in front of the Speaking stone and clan.
"Blackkit."She mewed and the small black she-cat looked nervously up at her."From this day forward until you have earned your warrior name you will be known as Blackpaw.Blackpaw you have shown an interest in being a medicine cat.After speaking with Mintleaf,we've both agreed that you will make a wonderful medicine cat.She will be your mentor."She mewed kindly.She waited for mentor and apprentice to touch noses before adding."At the half moon,you will both have to visit the star cave so that Blackpaw can be excepted by starclan.The good wishes of all the clan will go with you."Hollystar turned to whitekit and smiled down at young white tom.
"Whitekit."She mewed and he look up at her with sparkling eyes."From this day forward until you have earned your warrior name you will be known as Whitepaw."She paused momentarily before continuing."Thought it is unusual for kin to mentor kin,I have decided to take on Whitepaw as my own apprentice."She mewed smiling.She leaped down and touched noses with her apprentice as the clan began welcoming the new apprentices with their new names.
( I'm sorry for the mix ups and mistakes of the last post.Hopefully this one has fixed everything.Please let me know if there was something else that I've missed.)

A Raven's Feather
Hollystar yawned tiredly as she padded into her den.As she stepped inside the shadows embraced and blended into her black and white pelt.A small smile played over her features for a few moments as she stepped into her bracken nest and lay down in the soft moss covering it.She wrapped her tail around herself and lay her down.A quiet purr of content rumbled through her throat.She'd been hunting all night,and was exausted.Her warm leafy green eyes growing tired,she let them fall gently shut.Welcoming sleep's embrace.
Hollystar gazed around at her surroundings.To the back of her was the familiar pine forest that was her home,but in front of her and to both her sides was grassy hill side.Even now she could felt prickly grass under her paws instead of the soft pine carpet of the forest.A large breeze blew towards her buffeting her white chest fur before dieing down.Everything even the breeze seemed unnaturally quiet.The pine trees behind her did not rustle as the breeze gently teased them.Nor did any of the ravens caw their usual chatter.
Suddenly she heard a very faint caw.Then silence once more.She pricked her ears curiously and two more caws greeted her.Then suddenly more.The more caws that joined the louder they got.She turned to the forest fear sparking in the deph of her green gaze.The calls weren't getting louder,they were getting closer.
Suddenly they exploded from the forest like a black cloud.There caws thunderous to her ears.For a few minutes it was a if she was a part of the cloud,feathers brushed her every side.Terror kept her frozen in place as she instinctively closed her eyes at the overwhelming sensation.
When finally the noise subsided and she dared opened her eyes.She blinked once,then twice at the now dark and empty forest,and then looked forward towards the hills and grass lands.She could still hear the quiet roar of there caws as she watch the ravens disappeared in the horizon.The dark cloud flied towards the dieing sun,as it set beyond a hill.A single black feather floated down to rest gently at her paws.Within a few moments it was the only sign they had ever been.
The sun's dieing light turned her white fur scarlet as it finally gave out and let night's shadows reclaim the world.The only sound was her own breathing and the whispering of a breeze as it blew past her ear and through her fur.
"As the sun bleeds into the night beware the darkness's might.Don't be lulled by it's deceitful words.Instead listen to what your heart has heard.For when ravens cries you hear,an end and beginning will certainly be near."The wind whispered as it floated by.
She heard the mysterious words echo within her ears as her mind fought to wakefulness.Blinking sleep from her eyes,something lightly tickled her nose and she sneezed.She sat up and her eyes widened as she saw what had tickled her nose.Laying right in front of her paws was a black feather that could belong to no other bird then a raven.
Images of her dream flooded through her mind, a dark cloud of ravens flying around her,a single feather drifting down to land lightly at her paws.She shivered as she remembered the wind's whispered words.Uncertain,she bent down and picked the feather up gently.I'll go see Mintleaf.Perhaps she can better understand this warning.She thought, her eyes glowing with worry for her clan.
She padded out of her nest but paused at her den's entrance.From where she stood she could look all around the clearing.Most cats where out on patrols but Shadowfoot and Leafwhisper their sides swollen with unborn kits were sharing a rabbit near the nursery.They cast occasional fond glances at the clan newest members,two kits named Blackkit and Whitekit.Deathclaw was keeping them busy with a story.Apart from them the clearing was empty but Hollystar has no doubt that her clan mates were nearby hunting and patrolling.Pride replaced her fear.
It didn't last very long though.When soon after a raven soared over the clan's camp and cried out.It landed in a nearby tree,unnoticed by anyone but Hollystar herself.A shiver ran down her spine as she remembered the feather she was carrying.What had the wind meant? Would she fear the sound of every raven from now on? More importantly...What did it mean for her clan?
(Thank-you so much for joining everyone!I'm so glad that Ravenclan has so many members.^_^ I won't do a post stating all the ceremonies for every cat but I would like to welcome everyone's cats into the clan.From this point on I'll try do one for any cats that join.I'm really sorry this post took so long.So what do you guys think of this prophecy?Anything you think i can do to make it more interesting?Also if you have any suggestions for more pages I'd love to here them.:P)
