Wolfheart shrugged, his blue eyes sparkling with the sun's rays.
Well, I could always start from the beggining of clan life. Just the basics.
His voice was soft, and Wolfheart couldn't help but think about how pretty she looked. Her yellow eyes were piercing in a way. But she seemed gentle.
In all of our clans, you begin as a kit. No role in clan life. Afterwards, when you become 6 moons old, you begin your apprenticship. You are assigned a mentor, one of the warriors who has learned about the way of the clan before you.
Wolfheart stopped abrubtly, glancing behind him. He wondered if she was taking all of this in, and if so, did she get it? He waited patiently, his icy blue eyes calm and patient. [/color][/center] |

Aral nodded slowly, processing everything he said. When she got it all, she quickened her nodd and flicked her tail. A sweet, soft smile appeared on her face. She was ready to listen, but she was starting to feel a bit uneasy. If Wolfheart had been so eager to get her off his territory, would there be other cats like him that were around them now? She inwardly shivered to herself, hoping that wasn't the case. She knew she couldn't stay much longer for that matter anyway. She just hoped Wolfheart was enjoying himself as much as she was. |

Wolfheart smiled at her, his stomach giving flip-flops as he stared into her eyes. He gave her a look of adoration for a moment. Then it disappeared and became happiness.
I'm glad you get it! After training with your mentor, and he or she has taught you all they know, a warrior ceremony is held. Say for example, when I completed my training, I was given the name Wolfheart. A kit is named by their mother, but only the first part. You go from "Wolfkit" to "Wolfpaw" to your warrior name. If you are lucky, you end up with "stone." |

Aral was confused at that last part. She tried to make sense of it in her head, but it just didn't fit.
How do you get 'lucky' enough to get the ending stone?
The thought of others watching her vanished now with the thought of this part. It was to bad that Wolfheart hadn't gotten lucky enough to get the ending stone. She wondered what a cat had to do to get it!
[ If that was confusing, she doesn't know that you can still become leader after you are made a warrior. ] |

[ Okay.  ] Wolfheart thought about this, trying to think of what he could have missed. His brow furrowed as he thought it through, his eyes darting from side to side. Aha!
After you become a warrior, you can be made into deputy. The deputy takes the place of the leader who dies. Both cats are in charge of the clan. When you make the position of a leader, 'stone' is added to your name. Firestone is our leader. If I was leader, I would be Wolfstone instead of Wolfheart.
He looked over at her, wondering if his words were confusing to her.
Does that make sense at all? |

Aral opened her mouth into an 'O' shape as the words formed into sentences that made sense. She nodded vigourously and only had one question, and it was just for clarifacation.
So you still have a chance at leader, but you have to be made deputy first? |

Wolfheart thought about this for a moment, his eyes narrowed with thought.
Actually, yes. I do. Our leader just passed away, so the deputy is now leader. I might be chosen...
He trailed off, knowing it was unlikely to be chosen for anything of the sort. |

[ From what I heard Eaglebreeze is probably getting it  ] Aral smiled and then got to her paws. She stood before the tom with a saddned look in her eyes. When she spoke her voice was dull.
I should be going, I don't want to get caught here.
She stared at the tom a bit longer before an idea popped into her mind. What if Wolfheart came to visit her? Or they could switch off every now and then, her visiting him and then him visiting her!
Wolfheart, would you be allowed to come visit me in my territory?
She thingyed her head and flicked her ears, hope had surrounded her. |

Wolfheart grinned, his eyes dancing with happiness.
Of course! I'll come tomorrow around sun-set. I usually go out around then anyways...See you then!
He bowed his head before bounding off in the direction his sister had gone. |

Aral watched as Wolfheart bounded away. She smiled and watched untill he become only a dot on the horizon. She then turned and walked away with her tail held high. Something new was there, what it was she couldn't tell. |
