CHERRY OF SKYCLAN
" Now, I know it feels absolutely awful to have to wait, now that you've finally been made an apprentice. " Cherrydawn meowed, her voice light with amusement, a warm smile tugging at her muzzle. Her mismatched eyes glinted with soft affection as she looked down at Cinderpaw. " But I promise... " she continued, tail flicking with playful energy. " The moment you hit six moons, we'll be racing through the territory! "
She paused, expression brightening with an idea. " Now, since we're stuck here in the meantime... " she trailed off, then gave a sheepish little shrug. " Well, we could do chores, like searching for ticks... But I'm thinking the Warrior Code should take top priority today. " Her tone turned more thoughtful as she wrapped her tail neatly around her paws, settling down before her apprentice. " It's really important, you know. It's what separates us from rogues and loners... We have guidance. A code to live by. It keeps us strong, united, and honorable. " She gave a firm nod, echoing words that had once been spoken to her in her earliest days as an apprentice.
After a heartbeat of quiet, she tilted her head slightly. " Is there anything you'd like to know about the code? " Her voice was soft again, almost teasing as she added with a light purr. " Can you recite any parts of it? Think you can impress your brand new mentor? "
