You have been training Spotpaw for four moons now, and she and Mistpaw were ready to become warriors. 

"LET ALL CATS OLD ENOUGH TO SWIM GATHER TO HEAR MY WORDS!" Mistystar yowled.

You and Reedwhisker took your places beside Mistystar, and your kits sat and the bottom.

(I'm too lazy to write the ceremony) Mistystar gave Spotpaw the name of Spotpool, and Mistpaw became Mistfur. 

"MISTFUR! SPOTPOOL!" the cats yowled.

"I'm so proud of you!" you leap down and cover Spotpool and Mistfur with licks. Your daughters purr and nuzzle against you.


That night, you watch your beloves take their places at their vigil, as you and Reedwhisker head into your den. You curled up next to your mate, and fell asleep.

"Wake up," a voice said.

You glance around, and see Crookedstar, Leopardstar, Perchkit, Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, Y/Mo/N, Y/S/N, Y/B/N, Blackclaw (Oops, I forgot to add his death), and Hailstar, as well as a stocky silver tom with green eyes.

"Greetings, Y/W/N," Hailstar said, dipping his head.

"Hailstar," you reply, nodding.

"This is Riverstar, the first leader of RiverClan," Blackclaw nodded towards the silver tom.

"A pleasure to meet you," you say, dipping your head.

"I have watched over you," Riverstar rumbled, "You have done well. You have chosen Reedwhisker over Hawkfrost, and you have had kits. I know you will have a good, long life."

"Will I become leader?" you ask.

"No, I'm afraid not," Leopardstar said gently, "But you will live a very long life, I promise."

"Will I die of old age?" you ask.

"Darling, we can't give you all the details," Y/Mo/N said gently, "But no, you won't die of old age. You have plenty more moons in your healthy young body."

"I'm getting old," you reply, "I already had one litter like ten moons ago."

"You aren't as old as me," Riverstar teased.

"Of course not!" you answer.

"We came to tell you something," Y/S/N said.

"What?" you ask.

"We need to ask you why you chose Reedwhisker over Hawkfrost," Crookedstar said.

"Oh, that," you mutter, "Because a) Reedwhisker is nicer, b) he didn't try to kill Leopardstar, c) Reedwhisker actually cared about me, and d) Hawkfrost's dad is Tigerstar."

"His dad being Tigerstar doesn't mean he's like him. Look at Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, and Mothwing," Crookedstar pointed out.

"Whatever," you mutter.

"Listen, the Dark Forest is planning for battle," Leopardstar warned (I think she was still alive during the Great Battle, but whatever.)

"And?" you ask.

"You need to tell Mistystar!" Perchkit urged.

"I will," you say.

"You need to tell Mistystar to tell the other Clans. This battle will affect EVERYONE!" Pikepaw added.

"Okay," you say.

"Go now," Crookedstar urged, "Before it's too late!"

"Wait, when's the battle?" you ask.

"Two moons," Leopardstar answered, "Now go!"

You wake, and carefully untangled yourself from Reedwhisker. You jump from your nest, and hurry to Mistystar's den.

"MISTYSTAR!" you burst in. 

"What?" the RiverClan leader immediately sat up, "Is ShadowClan invading?"

"No, StarClan spoke to me!" you answer, "I know you might not believe me, but the Dark Forest is planning a battle! In two moons!"

"I knew there would be a battle from Mudfur, but only two moons?" Mistystar gasped, "We need to start training."

Mistystar hurried out and called the Clan together. Dawn was creeping in, as the RiverClan leader separated them into different training sections. They would have to train a lot. Mistystar, meanwhile, sent word to the other Clan leaders about the battle. 

You trained hard and fast, hoping that there would be enough time for training.
