Rowenstar climbed up onto the Highrock. "Can all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather for a clan meeting!?"
Jaguarpaw came running up. Fluffheart and Redwillow were right behind him.
"You'll be a great warrior, Jaguarpaw." Fluffheart mewed.
"Yes, I agree. You will serve your Clan well." Redwillow nodded.
Mintleaf ran to the Highrock, wondering what the announcement would be. She sat down neatly, and placed her paws in front of her, sitting still. She knew not to be disrespectful during a clan meeting, especially when she wanted to STAY being able to go to the gathering.
Rowenstar looked at Jaguarpaw with pride. "I Rowenstar, leader of StormClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in her turn."
Rowenstar spoke those words confidently, glancing StarClan shining overhead before turning to Jaguarpaw.
"Jaguarpaw. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Rowenstar looked at Jaguarpaw with pride. "I Rowenstar, leader of StormClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in her turn."
Rowenstar spoke those words confidently, glancing StarClan shining overhead before turning to Jaguarpaw.
"Jaguarpaw. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do, Rowenstar." His eyes were twinkling as he spoke the words.
Rowenstar's eyes shone, as he lifted his head to stare proudly at his clan and at the sky. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Jaguarpaw, from this moment you will be know as Jaguarleap. StarClan honors your determination and your quick-thinking, and we welcome you as a full warrior of StormClan. Rowenstar rested his muzzle on Jaguarleap's head.

Rowenstar rested his muzzle on Jaguarleap's head.
Jaguarleap was speechless. He looked up at Fluffheart and Redwillow.
"Is this really happening?!"
"Yes." The temporary deputy and medicine cat both nodded and smiled.
Amberstripe padded past Jaguarleap, "Congratulations!" she purred. "You deserved it!"
"Thanks. And you deserve the role of deputy. You show great excellence in what you do, Amberstripe!" Jaguarleap purred. He liked Amberstripe and always knew she was a great deputy ever since his kithood.
"Jaguarleap! Jaguarleap!" Mintleaf yowled in joy for the new warrior. It's so great to have a new warrior.. Mintleaf thought happily a smiled at the young warrior. He deserved to be a warrior, he did well during the sickness invasion.
Amberstripe purred at Jaguarleap's kindness.
So polite! Most young warriors do nothing but boast about how clever they are. I couldn't be around Rowenstar - well, Rowenheart back then - for days!
Rowenstar's eyes twinkled as he padded back to his den, suddenly he was ambushed.
"Rowenstar! Rowenstar!"
Rowenstar spun around before he was knocked to the ground. Looking up, he came nose to nose with Skykit.
"Can you please play with us?" she mewed. Her eyes wide with innocence, "Please?"
Rowenstar sighed, "Okay."
He sat and groomed himself. He wasn't sure what to do now. He felt like going on a patrol right about now...
OOC: I like the new badge! :)
IC: Mintleaf stared at the ground in silence for a few minutes before she got up and walked out of the camp, silently. She kept on walking until she finally noticed she had walked all the way to the place where she met Coldgaze. It's as if my paws brought me here.. She thought and sat down. She closed her eyes and sighed, whishing Coldgaze was with her now.
OOC: Thx! I've created four other ones. One is called "Defender of StormClan". To get this badge, you have to survive a battle against another clan. One is called "The Great Protector". To get this badge, you must save a cat from certain death. One is called "United, We are Strong!". To get this badge, your character has to save a IceClan, LeafClan or MoonClan cat's life. Another one is called "My Life is Yours". To get this badge, your character must die to save their clan or another cat. The last one is called "I'm a Clan Cat!". To get this badge, your character must chase either a rogue, a loner or a kittypet off StormClan territory.
As Rowenstar passed Jaguarleap on his way to the nursery, he hesitated. "Can you go on a hunting patrol? The fresh-kill pile doesn't look very stocked. You can take three other cats with you."
Dewpelt padded up to Jaguarleap, "I couldn't help overhearing what Rowenstar just said... Can Fernpaw and I go with you? I promised her that we would go hunting today."

OOC: Cool, I love that you have more than just one badge to give out to noble cats.
IC: Mintleaf sighed. She heard rustling in the bushes and jumped up, startled by the noise, she growled. Coldgaze stepped out, his blue eyes full of fear. "Mintleaf! Get out of here! T-There is a r- rogue after me.. get away." Coldgaze stammered. Mintleaf backed up, but shook her head. "No, Coldgaze. You have to deal with this rogue." Mintleaf mewed. Suddenly, a lean muscular black tom leapt out of the bushes. "Hello, Coldgaze. I see you've brought your mate." the cat snarled. "H-How do you know she is my mate?" Coldgaze stammered. "Because your scent is all over her." the rogue growled. Mintleaf froze with fear. If this rogue could smell Coldgaze on her.. could her clan? Coldgaze walked up to the rogue. "No more running. Just fighting." Coldgaze mewed. "If you wish." the rogue responded and chuckled as two more cats stepped out of the bushes. A grey tabby she-cat and a chocolate brown tom. The chocolate brown tom pounced on Mintleaf and she shrieked in shock and fell back as the toms slammed her body onto the ground. He held out his long claws and Mintleaf kicked up with her hind legs, making him go flying into an oak. Mintleaf panted with shock and ran to help Coldgaze. Coldgaze was fighting well. He clawed at the black rogue's muzzle with long claws, making blood drip off of his muzzle. Mintleaf snarled in anger as the rogue slashed at Colgaze's cheek. She jumped up and slammed the rogue down to the ground, growling with fury. She dug her fangs into his neck as she tried to push her off, but it was to much for him. Suddenly his breathing got slower and slower until you couldn't hear it. Mintleaf whipped around, looking for Coldgaze. She saw him fighting the grey tabby and she joined the fight, running over and clawing at her flank. The she-cat growled with anger and clawed at Mintleaf's neck. Mintleaf gasped in shock and fell back to the ground, landing hard. Her back and neck hurt badly. Coldgaze tried to rush to Mintleaf, but the attacker threw him aside. The grey she-cat dug her claws into Mintleaf's stomach and ripped through the flesh and fur. Mintleaf yowled in pain and closed her eyes, she couldn't handle the pain.
OOC: What happens next :
IC: Coldgaze pounced on the attacker and ripped his claws through her neck, she now lay on the ground dead. Coldgaze yowled n triumph but stared at Mintleaf in sorrow. She was gasping for breath, but she was still alive. Suddenly the chocolate brown tom got up, still angered by his fight with Mintleaf and he charged at Coldgaze. He was about to bite his neck when Mintleaf shoved Coldgaze aside and got the blow herself. She quivered with pain. "No! Mintleaf! We were going to have kits!" Coldgaze cried. But, Mintleaf was STILL alive. "Mintleaf, hold on!" Colgaze yowled and raced back to the Stormclan camp. "Every cat! Mintleaf is about to die!" he cried with pain.

OOC: Thanks :)
IC: "Sure." he meowed to Rowenstar.
"Of course. Just wait by the entrance while I find Mintleaf." he briskly nodded to the 2 cats. Then he saw Coldgaze's worried expression and heard his pain-struck yowl.
"WHAT?!" He ran to Coldgaze. "How did this happen?" he growled.
Fluffheart ran up to him. "No need to get aggressive, Jaguarleap. Coldgaze, tell us what happened." To Redwillow she yelled, "Redwillow! Get some herbs!" To Jaguarleap: "Go tell Rowenstar."
Jaguarleap hesitated, then nodded and headed to the nursery.
"Rowenstar, Mintleaf is dying out in the forest. Coldgaze is at the entrance talking with Fluffheart. She's already told Redwillow to bring herbs." he meowed, with i hint of worry and pain in his voice.
OOC: I'm advertising Stormclan on my camp. I hope you don't mind, Brightfire102.
"I ran into Mintleaf when these rogues were chasing me, she tried to protect me.. but, but.. she risked her life for me .. and, well, now.." Coldgaze mewed, he was panting. Sweat trickled down his cheek and he sighed. "Please save her.. please do. She saved my life." Coldgaze added. His blue eyes were full of fear, he was pacing around the entrance to the camp, not being able to stand his mate being injured.

Redwillow burst out. "I've got the herbs." She ran out of the camp, following Mintleaf's scent, with Fluffheart right behind her.
Coldgaze raced after the two she-cats, eager to see Mintleaf again. "Oh Starclan.. please let her be okay." he whispered and closed his eyes for short moment while he ran.

OOC: I don't mind at all, thx.
Rowenstar rounded up a few cats in case there were more rogues, and followed Coldgaze, Fluffheart and Redwillow. His eyes were dark with anger.
I would pull out all of my claws, if it means that a cat in my clan will be saved. Please let Mintleaf be okay!
