It is time for you to become a warrior. I, [Leader's Name], leader of [Clan], call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. S/he has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I comend him to you as a warrion in his/her turn.

The apprentice replies with the following: "I do."
The Leader continues with: "They by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warior name. [Apprentice's Name], from this moment forward you will be known as [Apprentice's Warrior Name].
