"Yarrowpaw and Jaypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Frogstar looked down at me, and I nodded and managed to let out a weak, "I do." My brother did them same, but he seemed to be more confident than me.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. Jaypaw, from this moment you will be known as Jayclaw. StarClan honors your loyalty and courage, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SorrelClan." Frogstar rested his head on my brother's shoulder, and Jayclaw licked his shoulder in return. Then Frogstar turned to me.

"Yarrowpaw, from this moment you will be known as Yarrowstem. StarClan honors your bravery and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SorrelClan." Frogstar rested his head on my shoulder, and I licked his shoulder in return.

"Yarrowstem! Jayclaw! Yarrowstem! Jayclaw!" the Clan chanted. My father's eyes shone with pride, and Deadgrass was already running forward to lick our faces.


"Now, run along, little ones. I think I hear Bluerose calling for you," I meow to three eager looking kits. "Yes, Yarrowstem," Swiftkit, Bark-kit, and Cloudkit mewed. They scampered out of the elder's den and ran towards their mother eagerly, tripping over themselves as they ran.

Cloudkit turned around. "May we come back later for another story?" I nod and reply, "Of course!" Cloudkit smiles and follows her siblings.


I promise that the chapters after this are longer and a lot better.
