He was thankful not all the cats were present in camp right now, if all of their eyes were on them he'd bolt before it was finished. He stands anxiously, finally making eye contact with the cats in front of him- but his gaze dips past to the ocean.
In and out, just like the waves.
He lets out a quiet sigh, here it was.

Shimmerfire sighs. They think I'm too young for a neo. I'm not good enough.

(I'll just have Quickflame be there for the ceremony, if that's fine with you guys)
"That was a great training session!", Quickflame mewed, licking his shoulder as the apprentices finished up their battle training. The tortoiseshell tom looked up at the sky and noticed that it was getting darker outside, and that the sun was setting. "Would any of you like to come to Sharkkit's naming ceremony with me?", he invited, glancing at each of them. He started towards the camp entrance at a brisk pace, hoping he hadn't missed anything exciting. Quickflame was quite curious to see what path Sharkkit had began to follow.

Shimmerfire is still at the very edge of the crowd, wishing she hadn't had kittypet parents. If only I could prove myself... She stares up at the sky.

(Been dealing with outside stuff as well. Ialso thought we were waiting on Raggedwolf to do the ceremony, but now I realize that it's the TUI who starts it, not the La. Whoops. I'll get right on that, as well as my reply to Aspenfur.)
Talongrasp squared her shoulders, bringing her old body into a position rarely seen- one of power and fullness, a great physical endeavor for her given her age, but not impossible. She spoke with power, and her eyes gleamed with the wisdom of her many years in connection with the ancestors "Sharkkit, you are now six moons old and have mastered the basic knowledge of herbs. It is time to take your next steps. Are you ready?" She yowled, her eyes locked on the small light blue tom.
------
Softwing did a little jump of surprise at Aspenfur's voice, then felt her ears burn with embarrassment at letting him sneak up on her. She dropped her bird, feeling very lackluster in her hunting contribution. "Thanks.." she said lamely, not feeling particularly warmed by the praise of her mangled bird. So much for sneaking off and exploring alone. She wasn't going anywhere now that Aspenfur had spotted her, obviously finished hunting.
She eyes his fish, tilting her head. Hadn't he gone to the tide pools to fish? Her mind went back to the day previous, when Sageheart had emptied the pool with his fishing trick. Did Aspenfur not know how to do the same?
"You only caught one?" She asked, not realizing the connotation of her speech. Maybe it was some shaman fishing trick she'd seen, one that Aspenfur didn't know. It didn't even occur to her that the other guard might become self-conscious at her observation of his small catch.

(Haha. Yea xP Changing things up since they do share. Since Shaman Neos can't go to the Lunar Spring since it's a spot only for Tui/La/Succesors, figured the Tui could take one and the La the others :3 For becoming a chief, I may make it specific to the cat's previous rank)

Sharkkit almost wished that the clan was whispering, it would mean he could focus on what they were trying to say, but no... he was very aware of Talongrasp in front of him. "..Yes." His voice was quiet, but he stiffened his shoulders and repeated himself. All of the kits knew how this ceremony was supposed to go.
~~~
"The pool I was in was deeper than the others... And I sort of scared them when I got this one." He had thought it was a rather large fish all considering... but compared to her bird... he supposed it was smaller. He had been so sure of himself at the pool, and quickly that went away as soon as Softwing saw it.
He should catch another. The tribe would think he was a bad warrior.
"....I could.. go catch...more" the fish would have forgotten about him by now, it'd be easy to catch one and go to another pool.

Shimmerfire sits alone on the edge of the crowd, staring at her paw. I really want a neo, but I'm not good enough. I never will be. Tears prick in her eyes.

Quickflame was sitting down, tail curled around his paws, with his ears pricked, watching the ceremony. He knew that neo ceremonies were very important to the tribe, and that they promoted the growth and honor of The Tribe of Crashing Tides. The tortoiseshell tom glanced around and noticed that Shimmerfire looked upset in the back of the crowd. "Are you okay?", he mouthed, making sure to keep quiet while the Tui was speaking. Quickflame gestured to her with a flick of his tail to join in next to him.

Shimmerfire slowly pads over to sit next to Quickflame. She stares at her paws. Act like you're okay, mouse-brain! You can't worry them!! She continues staring down at her paws.

Talongrasp nodded, feeling relieved when the young tom seemed to steel his nerves. Good, he's ready, she thought to herself. "Two paths stand before you, Will you follow the ocean, and protect your tribemates with claws. Or will you follow the moon, and act as their healer?" She rasped out, the familiar feeling of power in her words.
-------
Softwing flicked her ears in confusion. "Sageheart showed me this trick the other day for emptying out the pools and catching all the fish. I thought maybe I just hadn't learned it because I was sort of.. preoccupied during my training, but maybe it's like a shaman secret or something" She commented out loud, neglecting to use the term that others had given her for her behavior during her training- birdbrained. Maybe the shamans needed tricks like that to catch prey because they didn't learn to use their claws as well as guards?
"It doesn't really matter. I was just confused is all" She added, finally feeling like maybe she had insulted the tom.

The ocean was the thing calling to him, but it wasn't being ferocious and strong, not like what was needed to protect the clan. "I choose to follow the moon." Gentle like the ocean when soft lapped at the beach and silver light danced on the waves.
~~~~
"I haven't heard about that, but it seems like it would be effective..." they would get all of the fish in the pool, and not just a singular fish like he did. It'd be helpful... but he would wonder why they wouldn't share with that information with the guards. "It's alright... I suppose... I can just go fishing again l-later?" sneak off and fish until he felt he had caught enough for the clan not to doubt him. "...I wonder where Heatherwind is..?" had she gotten hurt? Or maybe she was just having more success than them..
(Hey Hawk!)

Raggedwolf blinked slowly at the kit's choice. He knew Talongrasp would be pleased. She'd wanted to train him herself, even though they had a shaman with no Neo. Would she still take him? He wouldn't put it past her. But as Tui, the shamans were her domain and he would just sit back and let her decide what was best. Had Sharkkit chosen to be a guard, Raggedwolf would have chosen Heatherwind to be his mentor.
As if on cue, Heatherwind came pushing past the grass, two mice hanging from her jaws. Her eyes lit up when she saw the other two. "Oh good. Looks like we all caught something." He voice was slightly muffled. After she'd caught her initial mouse, she'd found a nest of them. Although she only took one so that way the babies could still grow and continue to keep the field plentiful. "Ready to head back?"

Talongrasp stifled a purr, feeling joy in her heart as Sharkkit made his choice. He had indeed chosen the path of the moon, just as she had hoped he would.
"Very well. Sharkkit, from now on until you earn your full name, you will be known as Sharkpaw. As Tui, I have read the signs and know it is due that I act as mentor to a Neo. As such, I will act as Sharkpaw's guide on his journey" she meowed, casting her gaze briefly over the tribe.
No doubt there would be some talk- it was not unusual for the Tui or La to take a neo, but more often than not they were named as Proxy to the role, and for many Sharkkit might seem like an unusual choice. Of course, Talongrasp had decided nothing- but that would not stop the talk, she knew.
Sunpaw, of course, was somewhat of an exception to that. He really could care less about stuff like tribe leadership and elitism- he just felt curious about having a new neo to train with. Hopefully he wasn't too exciteable, otherwise Sunpaw might not be able to be so lazy anymore.
"May the Spirits show you the way.." He murmured still, knowing the words from when he was made a Neo.
------
Softwing was thankful for Heatherwinds return. It helped to put an end to the awkward moment between her and Aspenfur. "Sure, yeah. I don't think I could carry anything else" she meowed, gesturing to her mouthful of a bird. Sure, it was mostly feather and wing, but it was still hard to carry. Hopefully Aspenfur would leave the comments about his fish behind and be content to just go back to camp.

Quickflame had secretly hoped that he would one day get to hunt alongside Sharkkit, but knew that he wasn't to interfere with the young tom's destiny. The tortoiseshell tom tipped his head to the side with confusion as Shimmerfire walked away from the ceremony suddenly, without warning. Had she also wanted Sharkkit to become a guard? His ears flicked with interest as Talongrasp announced that she would mentor Sharkkit. "Will he become the next Proxy?"

Shimmerfire sprints out of camp, looking for her secret cave that she found, behind a ton of foliage, making it look like a mossy rock. She finds it, and crouches at the back of the cave, trying not to cry into her fluffy white paws. The edges of her vision blur as she stares at a brightly glowing mushroom, only able to be found in that cave. She stares at it, her eyes still brimming with tears as she remembers her parents telling her about a rare glowing mushroom called the, "Enchanted Mushroom" that they heard the Twolegs talking about. She breaks down into tears remembering that she's a pure kittypet that only knows the Tribe life. My parents only wanted the best for me... I was always the favorite...

"Thank you, Talongrasp.." Sharkpaw mumbles quietly. He hadn't expected to become her Neo- he figured that a kit would have reached the age eventually... any other cat would certainly be less indecisive than him. He hears a few calls that he know end the ceremony.
~~~~
"Right... best to head back." That way he could possibly sneak off and fish some more- putting himself to work would distract him from the awkwardness that had built up between him and Softwing. He picks up the fish and stands, ready to follow after the two.

Talongrasp nodded "May the Spirits show you the way" she meowed as the murmurs of the rest of the clan died down. She turned to Raggedwolf, seeing if he had any other news before she went forward to greet her Neo. She tried to ignore the nagging disappointment as she noticed Shimmerfire turn away from the ceremony, not sharing her chant with the rest of the tribe. But she reminded herself that the Guards were not her domain, and that Raggedwolf would address it in time if he wished. Everyone else seemed to support the decision, and Sharkkit didn't look terribly shocked.

Shimmerfire has her paws wet with tears, memories overflowing her mind. A creamy white she-cat pokes her head into the cave, the expression of a cat who just spotted some juicy, large, slow prey. [Lily] [She-cat] [30 moons] [Rogue] [ Armageddidn't ] Lily is a creamy white she-cat with bright green eyes and a bright pink nose. She's a kittypet with sharp claws and crazy attacking. She hates the Tribe with a passion, especially Shimmerheart, whom is her sister and whom she blames for Cloud and Speckle's deaths. Lily has been looking for revenge ever since the day she found out her parents were dead. She's sly and clever, and will use her stunning looks and sweet-talking to get what she wants, then kill the cat she tricked into doing it. |

(Big problem with Lily's bio. There aren't any twolegs in the area for her to be owned by. Kittypet origins is fine since travel is a thing that exists, but she wouldn't be a kittypet now. She'd have to either be a rogue or loner. With her bad intent for the clan, she'd probably be labeled a rogue.)
Raggedwolf nodded slowly, murmuring the usual words before joining in chanting Sharkpaw's new name with those present. With the ceremony finished, that was one less thing off the plate. He was sure Sharkpaw would settle into his new role and realize that he'd been worrying over nothing. Like Talongrasp, he hadn't failed to notice Shimmerfire leave and he flicked his tail. If the she-cat had something to say, she would come to him, wouldn't she? If not, then it couldn't be that big of a problem. He nodded to Talongrasp and Sharkpaw before turning around and heading back to the beach. He'd been sitting for too long and his paws were itching for a walk.
Heatherwind nodded and started the journey back to camp. She kept an eye on the two to make sure they kept up. When she'd entered the scene, it had looked as if something awkward had just been said. Hopefully that would pass over.
(Do you want to make Sharkpaw a new bio, Faundest? Now that he made his choice. Lol. i'll probably jump everyone 1 moon and Sharkpaw can find his stone)
