Snowspot stretched, yawning. She groomed her fur then padded into the snow covered clearing. "Snowclan, gather around Ice Peak for a clan meeting!" Glacierstar called, sitting atop Ice Peak. Snowspot leapt up to sit next to her leader. Glacierstar smiled at his deputy before turning back to his gathered clan. "Today is the day Frostwing's kits become apprentices. If they could come up now." Glacierstar called. Snowkit, Larkkit and Icekit scrambled up to sit behind their leader. "Snowkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Snowpaw. Your mentor will be Blueflower. I hope Blueflower will pass on all she knows on to you." Glacierstar announced, watching as Blueflower came to touch noses with Snowpaw. The same went for Larkpaw and Icekit. Snowspot walked over to the new apprentices and congratulated them. Frostwing was beaming with pride and she washed her apprentice kits. Blueflower called Snowpaw over and they padded over to the medicine den together. Blossomlight and Larkpaw walked off together, Icepaw and Lotusfrond not far behind them. Snowspot went out to hunt, as she always did in the mornings.

"No, it isn't possible! He couldn't of been on his last life!" Snowspot exclaimed, trying to fight tears. Glacierstar had been Snowspot's first friend, and now he was gone. "I'm sorry, but he was badly diagnosed with Greencough." Snowflower whispered, loud enough for Snowspot to hear. Snowspot buried her nose into her best friend's fur, silently thanking him for everything he did for her and her clan. Snowspot stayed like that all night, with her warriors by her side. When the first rays of sun shone into the camp, the elders came and buried him. Snowspot straightened and leapt onto Ice Peak. She remembered the words Glacierstar had used. "Snowclan, gather around Ice Peak for a clan meeting!" She called, her clear and precise voice cutting through the silence. Snowclan gathered and looked up expectantly at her. "I'm am going to make the journey to the Moonstone tonight, and I need warriors."

Snowstar and her new deputy, Mountainpool, sat together discussing clan matters. Everyone had accepted Snowstar as their leader and Mountainpool as deputy. Snowstar gazed at her clan, who were brimming with new hope. She smiled happily and continued her chat with Mountainpool.
