"I name you Firepaw, after your flame-colored pelt," Bluestar meowed. Tiny's chest still ached from the loss of spirit Bluestar. Then the real Bluestar turned to him.

"Tiny," she meowed. "I name you Icepaw, in honor of your ice-blue eyes."

"Firepaw! Icepaw! Firepaw! Icepaw!" The crowd chanted.

"Firepaw, Icepaw, since you are new to this Clan-"

"Where are they from?" A tabby tom yowled. "They smell an awful lot like kittypets! They'll be a deadweight in ThunderClan, sucking up our precious resources!"

"Longtail," Lionheart hissed. "Icepaw, are you going to sit here and take this?"

"Of course not," Icepaw hissed back. He crouched, stilling. He found Longtail's tabby body in the crowd. Yowling, he flung himself upon his tormentor, scratching, only to be joined by Firepaw, his brother.

They fought paw by paw, fiercely fighting together.

"Stop!" Bluestar called them off, her blue eyes searing into the crowd.

Firepaw and Icepaw stopped.

"As I was saying before Longtail interrupted this Clan meeting, Firepaw and Icepaw are new to the Clan. Whitestorm will test Icepaw and I will test Firepaw, and based on that we will determine which mentors will be best suited to teach them."

Icepaw smiled ferociously, his ice eyes glinting in anticipation. His life with ThunderClan was about to begin.
