RisenClan- Book One: Death Brings New Life

Chapter 5 ~ New names

Ruinstar's POV

~

"We will stay." Said Nero

Ceasar agreed as well as Fiera, but Immy did not look as sure. "It's alright Immy!" Said Fiera.

Ruinstar was pleased with there decision. She looked at her medicine cat, Spiritsong. "Do you think StarClan has any reason to deny these kits into our clan?" She asked.

Spiritsong shook her head. "StarClan would never have us deny such kits."

Ruinstar nodded. "Than it is settled, from now on the four of you will be kits of RisenClan. With this comes some things I must tell you about. First is to be such a cat of RisenClan the four of you will receive new names, the names your mother have given you will not suit in our clan." Said Ruinstar. "We will take care of that right away, if you would follow me." Ruinstar had already been thinking about names for the kits since they had arrived. She had one picked out for each of them.

She led the kits, Spiritsong, and Risenspirit out of her den and she jumped to the High Cave. "You four wait there." She said to the kits. "Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey gather here beneath the Large Cave for a clan meeting."

She watched as cats began to gather together below quickly. News of the kits had spread like wild fire through the camp. Everyone knew. 

"I have decided to take in these four kittens here as loyal members of RisenClan, if Sparrowstep agrees she will raise these kits from where they are now until they reach the age of of six moons as well as her own two kits. Do you agree Sparrowstep?"

Sparrowstep nodded quickly. Thank StarClan she is easy to agree. Ruinstar thought. "Alright the kits will be raised by Sparrowstep."

A yell in protest shot out from the clearing below, it was Robinripple. "They are kitty pets Ruinstar!" He meowed.

"They are kits just the same, Robinripple I know you know as well as any cat the warrior code, we follow it with our heart. So I suggest you respect my word when I say we will keep these kits, we have just lost two warriors a few sunsets ago. And over a moon ago we lost more. We need good and strong warriors in RisenClan to help bring us back up. These are four kits who we are in desperate need of."

Robinripple did not look convinced. "But Ruinstar, don't you think StarClan would not accept such kits either."

Soulsong spoke up. "StarClan has already spoken with me Robinripple, they want these kits. You have all heard the ancient tales of beloved Firestar, he was a kitty pet and he became one of the most powerful cats of all time. We will not deny these kits."

Ruinstar nodded. "Alright, on with traditions, Nero, Caesar, Fiera, and Immy, please step forward." The kits all took a few shy steps up. "Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the names from the kits you see before you, for it no longer suits stands for what they are. By my authority as clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give these kits new names. From now on Caesar will be known as Grizzlykit, Fiera will be known as Dawnkit, Immy will be known as Soulkit, and Nero will be known as Soaringkit, We honor there courage." Ruinstar nodded at the kits who looked satisfied with there new fitting names. "That's all." Ruinstar jumped down and watched as cats began to scatter leaving the clearing with dirty looks. She heard Tidepool whisper. "Kittypet kits." To Robinripple.

Soaringkit's POV

~

Soaringkit looked at his siblings. Dawnkit's face showed anger at the cats who were whispering about them. Soaringkit was upset too. They might be kitty pets but they weren't weak. Ensoulkit and Finchkit came over and Finchkit smiled at Soaringkit and his siblings. "Now you guys have warrior names and everything!" He said with a smile.
