Instead of the half-moon, the medicine cat and apprentice of Streamclan go to the Moontree at the full moom. So as not to interupt this, cats of Streamclan hold their gathering every new moon, at the Jagged Rock.

Birth of a Kit
The streams and mountains welcome you, as you enter into this world.
The rivers sing with the birds, and the sun shines on your fur.
All the tree leaves rustle, as you open up your eyes.
The Birds sing songs of welcome, and all the world is bright.
Making of an Apprentice[/u]
Your journey is beginning
The wait has ended
Now starts the story of your adventure.
To guide you through the trials and tribulations
to show you the light
When you're lost in the dark
Your mentor, your companion, _____, will be with you
May their wisdom guide you
As you begin the first step
Of your journey.
Making of a Warrior[/u]
Snow falls
as winter comes
now is the time to take up the hunt
Young and old
It's time to fight
Whether in day or darkest night
For the food gathered
Fair and free
Taken from the ground to the sea
Even up the tallest trees
Fang and claw
take to give
To protect
To destroy
To live
These are the warriors
She-cat and Tom
Names gained from the tasks
They do
Kits to apprentices
To warriors true
Now and forever, through and through
Becoming the Deputy[/u]
Out of every cat in StreamClan
You are the most admired.
Out of every thought in StreamClan
Yours are the most desired.
You represent the best in StreamClan
As any cat can see.
Now we welcome you
As StreamClan deputy.
Becoming the Leader[/u]
You were summoned to the Moontree
With blessings from afar.
Now we in StreamClan welcome
Our new leader, ______star!
No matter what you choose
We will be devout.
We will always follow
Without doubt.
Becoming the Medicine Cat Apprentice[/u]
You've thought about it carefully
For six long moons now.
Wondering how to serve your Clan
The way that you know how.
Now you stand and say you see
Which path is your destiny.
You know, from reading all of the signs
Who you're meant to be.
You will know every herb.
Learn to treat battle scars.
And when you close your eyes
You will speak with the stars.
Guiding your loyal Clan
With the news from afar.
It's what you were born to do.
No matter where you go from here
StarClan walks with you.
Becoming the Medicine Cat[/u]
Dream.
Speak to the cats of long ago.
Hear their advice and ancient memories.
Learn from the old trees.
See more than we see.
Help us to grow... and know.
Come.
Help us to see from StarClan's eyes.
Cure our diseases and our worn scars
Made in the old wars
Defending our stars
Who speak from minds... that know.
Along the way, there will be days
When darkness lays over sun's rays.
But we'll stand tall, pull through it all
And face the falls to hear your calls
Of faith.
You'll know.
Becoming an Elder[/u]
Through every season
You've served us all right.
Patrols in the daytime
Vigils at night.
You went out hunting
When fresh-kill was low.
For all that you've done
We want you to know
You lie in our hearts
Yes, you've given your best.
In thanks, StarClan grants you
A much-deserved rest.
We promise to respects you
And honor your past.
May StarClan walk with you.
You're an elder at last.
Death of a Cat[/u]
The night is still
The forest wind
blows through our greiving
Oh how we'll miss you now you're gone!
The stars are bright
The night birds sing
their songs to guide you
with every passing soul that leaves!
But time will heal
Our bleeding hearts
and sorrowful minds
that ache without your happiness!
Now sing to deliver them,
sing for our loved dead
sing them to their new home,
in Starclan!
Sing them to sleep,
One last lulaby,
Sleep dear one,
We'll all miss you so...[/center]
