"Lionblaze, Dustpelt, Cherrypaw! make sure they go to their territory!"Bramblestar ordered."the rest of you come with me." they walked to camp and Berrynose told them,"Brighthearts having kits. nothing serious." Bramblestar glanced at Squirrelflight's belly. SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE CONFINED TO CAMP SOON, he thought, AND I WILL BE A FATHER SOON.

A meadow opened up, seeming to say "Run on me! run on me!" so Bramblestar did. he ran and leaping higher than he ever leaped before, then, time froze him in mid air. A portal opened up. and as time thawed, Bramblestar fell into the cold blackness that overlapped him. screeches from the clan devoured in Tigerstars evil words, "you betrayed me" "you'll pay!" "I used to love you my son." "Goldenflower made you too soft"

Squirrelflight woke him and said "Didn't you say you'd do the warrior ceremony?" "oh, yes. I'll be right there." Bramblestar hauled himself out of the fear sent-drenched moss and left to highledge.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath highledge!" Bramblestar yowled with cats leaving their jobs and hurdling toward highledge."we gather to see apprentices be made warriors! Cherrypaw. do you wish to up hold the warrior code and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." she vowed.

"Then by the powers of Straclan, you will be known as Cherryflight. Starclan honors your strength and courage." Bramblestar bounded from highledge and Cherryflight licked his shoulder.

"Molepaw. do you wish to up hold the warrior code and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." he said as he puffed out his chest proudly.

"Then by the power of Starclan, you'll be known as Molepelt. Starclan honors your wisdom and reason." Bramblestar touched his muzzle to Molepelt's forehead.

Bramblestar was the first visitor to see Brightheart's kits. "there names are Wolfkit and Bazilkit."she said. two she-cats, a gray and brown. "Their beautiful." Bramblestar remarked as Squirrelflight walked In."Squirrelflight, I think it's time you entered the nursury."Brightheart reasoned. "yes. I think your right Brightheart." Bramblestar chipped in as Squirrelflight agreed.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here benaeth Highledge!" Bramblestar's yowl got the clan off their feet."Brightheart had two kits, Wolfkit and Bazilkit!" the clan cheered. "also, Squirrelflight is bringing more!" the clan cheered and congratulated Squirrelflight. She looked larger than Brightheart right before her kitting. He settled down for a nap and Tigerstar was Bramblestar's only fear right now. because for all he knew he could wake in Starclan.
