Firetail's POV

"WAKE UP ALL OF YOU, WE NEED TO TRAIN!", I yell as I hear nests shuffle in the depths of the dark warriors den. A certain copper and black spotted head pokes out, "What do you need us to do Firetail?", Skywalker asks. "I'm making a dawn patrol, wake up Owlpaw so that he can come with us", I inform my very sleepy mate. He ducks back in the den, and comes out with Owlpaw trudging at his heels a few moments later. "Can we eat please first Firetail? He asks me very politely. I mean, how can I deny him when I am pretty hungry myself? "Of course, grab something fast, before Berryfoot and Honeydew come out!" I exclaim. He runs full speed at the stump that holds the fresh kill, however at that moment Lunastar walks slowly from her den right next to to the stump. "WHOA, WAIT", she screams as she notices Owlpaw running, but he can't slow down, and they collide and tumble across the clearing. I would expect Lunastar to cuff him around the ears for being so unaware of his surroundings, but when she sat up, she just laughed. I don't mean like a like chuckle, no she was full on laughing her full laugh of weird snorts, duck noises and giggles. I haven't seen her so giddy since her warrior ceremony. It's good to see my old friend again, not weighed down by the responsibilities of leadership and war. "Just be more careful, ok Owlpaw?" She said, licking the brown apprentice on the head reassuringly before walking over to his mentor. "You must have a real pawful with this one!" said Lunastar. "I could say the same thing for you, oh wise leader..." Retorted Skywalker, both ashamed of his apprentice's clumsiness and shocked from Lunastar's reaction. "Hahaha," Lunastar laughed sarcastically. "Hey, Firetail, add these two on patrol with ya, and take Arcticfur too", she says as she whips around to me. "On second thought....wait a minuet" she said as she leaped gracefully into the sparkling frost coated pine tree. "ALL CATS THAT CAN HUNT, LEAP, AND FIGHT, GATHER FOR A CLAN MEETING!" she called to the remaining cats of Frostclan. "As you may know, Brokenstar of Sparkclan has declared war on us all. But fear not, training will all get us up to shape to face our challengers." Ok so I may have tuned out during her speech I'm certain that Lunastar is like the best leader for encouragement and understanding. I mean, she's just so.... unlike other leaders. She never holds herself in a higher position. She treats every clanmate like her kits. She's so great, I would probably die under her sister's rule. I've heard she battles each apprentice for their warrior assessment. Which is hard, duh...

Rosepaw's POV

"Rosepaw!", I hear my mentor say, jolting me out of my daze. "Go get my kits won't you?", Lunastar says to me looking around the frosted pine to look me in the eyes. "I'm going to do something crazy"...

What is that supposed to mean, is she going to appoint them duties? I forgot how old they are. Maybe they are old enough, they sure play rough enough. They may be Frostclan cats, but they fight like Sparkclan apprentices already. I still have the scar on my belly to prove it from Mistykit! She's stronger than she looks.

"Spiderkit, Mistykit, where are you?", I say peeking my head into the nursery. It looks strangely empty and quiet besides the sleeping Flowerstorm, snoring quite loudly... BAM something warm, heavy, and fuzzy collides with my head. "OW, COME'ON GUYS", I screech at the falsely innocent looking kits in front of me. "It was Spiderkit's idea, not mine!", squeaked Mistykit. "Well anyway, your mother wants you at the frosted pine, get a move on", I tell them. "YAAY, MOMMY", they both yell in unison, sprinting towards their mother in the tree as Icekit trudged sleepily behind them. I run after them trying to slow them down, when they both leap into the air, landing on the trunk of the tree. I stopped and watched in awe, no wonder Lunastar wants to see them, they would be great hunters and fighters! "What did you want us for momma?", asks little sweet Spiderkit. I can't hear Lunastar's response but afterwards she licked them both on the head as she did Owlpaw after their collision. "CATS OF FROSTCLAN, THESE KITS ARE SIX MOONS OF AGE, AND HAVE THE VIRTUE OF TRUE WARRIORS. MISTYKIT, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, YOU SHALL BE KNOWN AS MISTYPAW!" "Crowleg, I I trust you with this apprentice, and that you'll further her skills as a warrior of Frostclan, please step forward." She said with so much power to her voice that I it rang in the camp. Crowleg stood from his spot beside the tree, and slowly walked up to the base of the tree where a breathless Mistypaw now stood. They touched noses, and sat down next to each other in the crowd. "Spiderkit", she said in a slightly softer tone, " You have all the promise of becoming a great warrior someday, and your silence and patience may be of great use to you and your new mentor,"...

Spiderkit's POV

I sit in the the pine tree facing my mother, anxious of who my new mentor will be. "FOXSTONE", my mother booms out of nowhere making half the clan jump," You are a very trusted warrior and friend, and I trust that you will teach this young apprentice all he needs to learn, BEACUSE FROM THIS DAY FORWARD HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS SPIDERPAW!!!" Wow, I had no idea my mother could be so loud. "Thank you momma, really",I say as I leap down from the frost pine tree to meet Foxstone. As the pretty she cat and I touch noses, i know I will train my hardest, and maybe I can even train with my sister. I'm still kind of sad from finding out that my mother's sister has kits too, and they are a little bit older, but these kits are different. Stonekit is HUGE, bigger than Mistypaw, and Dustykit was cruel and clawed at my fur. I hope Mistypaw and I aren't that mean when we get older, I don't want to be cruel and corrupt like Sparkclan. I do know however, that nobody is gonna get near my sister in the battle we call life. I'll make sure they're really fucking sorry.....

Icekit's POV 

My mother gently presses he nose to mine as she says, "You look just like my father, and hopefully you are just as wonderful"..

"ARCTICFUR, YOU HAVE THE TRUE WORTH OF A WARRIOR. PLEASE PASS YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO THIS NEW APPRENTICE. HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS ICEPAW FROM NOW ON...
