Lightningstar stood before speaking. "I, Lightningstar, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Eclispepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Eclipsepaw lifted her chin, even if she felt she didn’t deserve to be a warrior at the moment, she would do what it takes to prove that she did. “I do.” She said clearly.

“Then by the power of starclan I give you your warrior name! From this moment on you will be mown a Eclipsestorm.” Lightningstar spoke. “Starclan honors your courage and adaptability as we welcome you a full member of Thunderclan!” He moved to jump down and place his head on hers a moment.

Eclipsestorm licked Lightningstar’s shoulder before stepping back, holding her head proudly.
“Eclipsestorm! Eclipsestorm!” My cats called out the new name.

“Eclipsestorm!” Dawnpaw cheered kindly for the new Warrior, while Scarletpaw’s cheer was more of a mutter.
Frostmoon watched with a flicker of guilt at how bad the scars on her face looked. She cheered loudly for the Warrior either way.

Forestpaw muttered Eclipsestorm’s new name as well, still feeling discontent. Chestnutpaw gave her brother a slight nudge, “Come on, she worked just as hard as we have to become a warrior.” She murmured to him quietly. Forestpaw rolled his eyes at his sister, but didn’t say anything.

Lightningstar let the cheering die down for a few moments before speaking again. “4 more apprentices have passed their assessments and are ready to be warriors. Swallowpaw, Gustpaw, Forestpaw, and Chestnutpaw please step forward.”

Chestnutpaw looked at her brother, “See? We’re still becoming warriors today.” She mewed, a light smile on her face.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” Forestpaw muttered quietly, feeling slightly less irritated now. Both Chestnutpaw and Forestpaw approached Lightningstar.
Ghostscreech gave Swallowpaw a proud smile, glad his apprentice was being named a warrior. She had definitely earned it in his opinion.

Scarletpaw scowled even more, huffing out lightly as her tail tapped. Suddenly she wished she was out of camp instead of having to watch everyone become a Warrior.
Snowdrop lifted her head with a look of delight, though heaviness settled in her heart. She was the last one left in the clan of her littermates. But, at least she had her younger siblings to support and cheer on.

Forestpaw raised his head proudly, “I do!” He said fiercely. He would make a better warrior than some loner from the twolegplace.
“I do.” Chestnutpaw mewed, more humble than her brother.

Gustpaw hesitated a brief moment before saying “I do!”
Swallowpaw couldn’t hold back her excitement. She was finally going to be a warrior! “I do.”
“Then by the power of starclan. I give you your warrior names!” Lightningstar spoke. “From this moment on you will be known as Forestblaze, Chestnutfur, Gustfury, and Swallowcry.” He spoke. “Starclan honors you as we welcome you full members of Thunderclan.”

Snowdrop cheered loudly for her siblings, her eyes bright with happiness for them, before she looked over for her father, hoping that Silentflare would get some light from this ceremony. She knew how much her father had been hurting these past moons.
Dawnpaw once again cheered loudly for the new Warriors, happy for them.

“Swallowcry! Forestblaze! Gustfury! Chestnutfur!” Ghostscreech called out the new warriors name, giving a purr as Swallowcry was named.
Forestblaze gave his siblings a smile, his earlier attitude forgotten. Chestnutfur purred happily, giving her brother a nudge.

"You shouldn't be blamed for what your father did," Magpiewing reassured, remembering everything that had happened with Ringo and the other rogues. "We all know you would never support his actions. I'd claw anyone that tried to blame me or my siblings for being related to a medicine cat. You're a loyal ThunderClan cat, and I can see that now." she mewed. "I am also glad you're here. I know the Clan doesn't hold anything against me for what happened, but not many get it, you know?" Slatesight looked at his paws at that, not knowing if he was that sure of the idea. It would only hurt him more to find out if Magpiewing detested him. Bringing up the topic could only make things worse. "Perhaps." he answered, though he looked up at Lightningstar's call. Mothsong felt a flicker of appreciation for the younger Warrior, offering a light smile as she nodded. “Right. Not many do get it. I think you did the right thing, you know. Keeping secrets like those does nothing but ruin everyone in the end…I’m guessing you don’t talk much to Slatesight these days?” Magpiewing shook her head, feeling a slight scowl forming. She tried to push away the negative feelings that came naturally with even her father's name. "I tend to stay away from him." she admitted bluntly. "I grew up admiring Hornetstrike, never having any doubt that he wasn't my father. I even look like him, which only adds to the hurt. Plumfur looks like Mapleleaf, and, well, Aspenfall doesn't really resemble any of us... but Stormeye looked so much like Slatesight and nothing like them. It's not his fault, but he's part of how I found out the truth." she explained. "But anyway, I still don't feel ready to confront him. Maybe I never will. I can't see him as my father when he chose his duties over us. Even now, I..." she trailed off, suddenly feeling at a loss for words. Her conversation with Mothsong had given her a new perspective on her place in the Clan. Was there any chance she would see things differently, after all this time? |

Lightningstar waited for the cheers to die down before continuing. “And finally, we have one more warrior ceremony to do. Mosspaw and Specklepaw please come forward.”
Mosspaw was surprised to hear his name called but he hurried forward.
Silentflare watched his kits be named warriors. His dark eyes shown happiness for the first time in what seemed like forever. He couldn’t be more proud of them.
Swallowcry what shaking with excitement. She nudged Gustfury. “We did it!”

Aspenfall tilted his head in curiosity. Peachdapple was going somewhere? He nodded, taking in everything that she instructed him to do. Nothing too difficult to take care of. "Can you tell me where you are going, or is this something StarClan instructed you to do?" he asked. He hoped she wasn't going somewhere too dangerous. Her loss would be a devastating blow to the already weakened Clan, and he couldn't imagine a medicine cat den without her. Peachdapple offered a look of assurance as she sat beside the tom to listen to Lightningstar. “We’re going to try and strike a deal with Skyclan to trade herbs and get access to hunt at Twolegplace. If anything, it will be a good way to strengthen our bonds and perhaps prevent as much sickness and starvation for both of our clans as possible. Starclan has not sent me signs, so in times like these we go with our instincts. Do not worry. It will not be a danger so long as I am there.” "Twolegplace..." Aspenfall murmured, trying to picture the territory he had never stepped foot in. It always seemed like a dangerous and fast-paced territory. One that a medicine cat would have no place in. "Are you sure there won't be any danger?" he questioned. Making a deal with SkyClan seemed like a good idea, but he had his doubts about venturing to the Twolegplace. "I know we're in desperate need of prey, but is it really worth the risk of encountering rogues and twolegs?" My other cats cheered for the warriors. |

Slatesight is the one who decided to keep it a secret, and you are the one who had to carry that weight. Forgive him, don’t forgive him…It doesn’t really change the fact that you’re a far more loyal Warrior to the code. Use that anger to drive you…better than I let mine drive me.” Mothsong sighed. |

My other cats cheered for the warriors. “We’ll be going to a safer part of Twolegplace, and with many of our Warriors as guides, I imagine we’ll find our way safely. I may be a Medicine Cat, but I’ve fought off rouges and loners before. No cat will ever take me away from your side, Aspenfall.” Peachdapple assured gently, flexing her claws with a small nod of determination. She would fight for herbs and prey for her Clan to protect them from sickness and death if she needed to. |

Nettlepatch purred watching the ceremonies, happy for the new young warriors. He supposed that meant more hunters for the clan too. He was sure Lightningstar knew that was the case as well.
Twilightkit squirmed at Squirreltail's belly, the little tom whining quietly, "Mama, when do I get to be an apprentice?"

Squirreltail licked the top of Twilightkit’s head and gave a light purr, “Once you reach six moons, dear. Then you can be an apprentice.” She mewed.

Squirreltail chuckled, “Don’t worry. It’ll be like no time has passed once you become an apprentice.” She said.
Lionkit wriggled out from his mothers fur and pounced on his brother, “We’re going to be the best warriors in ThunderClan!” He mewed.

Twilightkit tumbled with Lionkit, giggling as they knocked into the slumbering Tansykit. "Yeah! Of course we are! Lightningstar is old, maybe one of us will be leader!"
Tansykit grumbled as she was jostled out of her sleep, to get away from her brothers, she climbed on top of her mother before settling down. "Mama tell them to leave me alone." she mewed grumpily.

“I do.” Mosspaw echoed his sister.
“Then by the power of Starclan I give you your warrior names. Specklepaw, from this moment on you’ll be know as Specklefrost and Mosspaw you’ll be know as Mossfoot. Starclan honors you both as we welcome you full members of Thunderclan.”
