The wind was blowing softly. Clouds were looming over the sun, blocking its rays of heat from touching the camp. Perfect time for deciding mentors. Green-yellow orbs narrowed as a mangy cat stood in the center of his camp. "Cat's of WinterClan." He bellowed. He didn't pause to allow any cat chance to surround him. They could hear him easy enough. "It is time for two apprentices to receive mentors. Berylpaw, Onyxpaw, get down here." Luststar stared around the camp. He would be extremely agitated if they weren't in camp.
(Sorry it's short.)

Onyxpaw poked his head out of the apprentices' den. "Finally." He muttered as he looked at Luststar. Giving his sleek black fur a quick lick, he strutted over, happy to get some attention. He looked around for his brother, hoping he'd be late. Onyxpaw avoided eye contact with the rogue leader, instead, he looked at the small beatle scuttling along. As he followed the path of the bug, he caught the familiar shimmer of his goody tooshoo brother's pelt. Onyxpaws' pale yellow eyes challenged Berylpaw.
Berylpaw met Onyxpaw with a cool gaze as he sat a good distance away from him, silently cringing at being in the presence of Luststar. That cat sure did intimidate him. He curled tail around his trembling paws, praying to Starclan his mentor wasn't power hungry. Glancing at Onyxpaw in distaste he forced his trembles to stop.

"Now. You are both past age to receive mentors. Of course, I will not be using the previous ceremony... I will use one I see more... fitting." The leader tried not to smirk as his eyes narrowed. "Onyxpaw." He nodded for the apprentice to step forward, "Do you swear by every hair on your pelt that you will be loyal to this clan, and by being loyal to this clan you will be loyal to every leader who lurks through the future? That you will fight, hunt, and live for your clan and leader?" His tail twitched as he leveled the apprentice up, hoping he wouldn't detest his choice. He was proud, strong, and he was a more fitting warrior than Luststar considered the apprentice's sibling, Berylpaw, to be.

Beyrlpaw snorted as he saw the obvious favoring towards Onyxpaw from the rogue leader. He wouldn't be surprised if his own brother became a rogue himself. They didn't have the same morals. Maybe Onyxpaw was his evil twin. His thoughts distracted Berylpaw for a moment from the ominous presence of Luststar.
Onyxpaw looked up at Luststar, daring himself to look the leader in the eye as he stepped forward, his black pelt rippling with excitement. He swallowed before answering, "You bet I do." Was there a chance, that he, Onyxpaw, was about to receive mentorship from Luststar himself? The thought gave him much hope and much much more excitement.

"Very well. You shall be my apprentice. Congrats." Luststar mewed icily, accepting the apprentice with only a nod. He flicked his tail, signalling the apprentice need not touch noses with himself. The mangy leader's eyes flashed at Berylpaw. "Berylpaw... Do you swear by every hair on your pelt that you will be loyal to this clan, and by being loyal to this clan you will be loyal to every leader who lurks through the future? That you will fight, hunt, and live for your clan and leader?" He repeated, lashing his tail as he remembered whom he was choosing to mentor the apprentice.

Onyxpaw smirked and nodded to Luststar his mentor. He waited for Berylpaw with a smug look on his face, confident that he had gotten the better teacher. He couldn't wait to train! With Luststar, Onyxpaw will become a warrior much faster than everyone else. Hopefully it'll gain him some favor in the clan.
Berylepaw gulped before shakily answering, "Y-Yes, I d-do." He looked down at the dirt, again. Who would he get for a teacher? Hopefully not one of them rogues He looked up again, making sure Luststar hadn't read his thoughts.
