Warriors Prayer of the Angels: Rising Star
Smoky and Fluffy were two kittypets living in an abandoned mansion with their mother, Chestnut.
"I'd like more than ever to become a forest cat." Smoky mewed, her blind blue eyes wide. "I would meet tons of new friends!"
"It will take a lot of work to become a Warrior." Chestnut said. "You think you can handle it?"
"Yes, Mom." Smoky and Fluffy meowed in unison.
"Alright. You two go talk to Heatherstar. I will stay here and guard the house."
"Okay!" Smoky jumped to her paws happily and scampered off to the forest along with Fluffy.
When they came to the dense forest, Fluffy said nervously, "Are you sure you want to be a warrior cat?"
"Oh, yes, Fluffy, yes! I do want to be a warrior!"
"Okay. Here goes nothing!" Fluffy took a deep breath and plunged into the forest, soon to be followed by Smoky.
"Now what are you two kittypets doing in our territory?" Heatherstar questioned the kittens.
"W-we want to be warrior cats, ma'am." Smoky meowed in a voice mixed with excitement and fear.
"Are you up to the challenge?" Heatherstar asked.
"Yes!" Fluffy and Smoky mrrowed.
"Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect AshClan, even if it costs you your life?"
"We promise." Smoky and Fluffy mewed in unison.
"Then you are now Smokykit and Fluffykit." Heatherstar said. "And your mother?"
"Chestnut."
"She is now Chestnutfall. And by the way, I'm Heatherstar." the she-cat meowed
"Oh thank you Heatherstar! Thank you so much!" the kits mewed as they leapt to the old house to tell their mother.
"Well?" Chestnutfall asked them.
"We did it! I'm Smokypaw, Fluffy's Fluffypaw, and you're Chestnutfall! Now let's get out of here!" the kits yelled as they skidded out the old cat flap. Chestnutfall followed.
The cats reached the FoxClan border that they had to cross. They took their first pawstep when a group of cats on patrol spotted them. Fluffykit froze stark stiff when he saw them.
"Well well well." the leader of the patrol, Carnivoretooth, growled. "We have ourselves a couple of appetizers and dinner."
"W-we need to get to AshClan." Smokykit mewed in a scared voice.
"We need to c-c-cross the b-border to get there." Fluffykit mewed in a voice filled with fear.
"Come on kits, let's go around the forest like you did to talk to star." Chestnutfall meowed.
"Let's get out of here!"
The kits scrambled to their feet and scampered out of the forest. They went around all the Clan borders, then finally they came to AshClan. They went into the territory, where most cats were sleeping. (It had gotten dark by the time they got there.) They went into the nursery, to be spotted by Marshground, a queen.
"Who are you?" Marshground asked suspiciously.
"We just joined AshClan." Fluffykit said.
"Well, I'll go tell the others." Marshground stretched out her claws and padded out of the large, comfortable cave.
Smokykit padded around the nursery when she smelled a tom kit nearby. "Hi." she mewed. "I'm Smokykit. Who are you?"
"Frogkit." the tom mewed. "You smell funny. Are you really a kit?"
"Yes. I just joined AshClan with my brother, Fluffykit, and my mother, Chestnutfall."
"Well I guess you should meet the rest of the kits and queens." Frogkit meowed softly. Here's my sisters, Littlekit, Adderkit, and Wolfkit, and my brothers, Prariedogkit and Sharpkit. I have another sister Cougarpaw, and another brother Silentpaw, but they're apprentices."
"Wow, you have a lot of siblings!" Smokykit purred. "Must be hard to play with all of them."
"Yeah, it is." came a voice. It was Prariedogkit! "It's hard having so many brothers and sisters."
"But it's also really fun!" said Wolfkit, her green eyes sparkling. "Whenever one of them wants to sleep, another wants to play with me!"
"Yeah. When I want to sneak out, one of my brothers or sisters want to go with me." Adderkit purred.
"And when I want a hug, one of them hugs me." said Littlekit. Littlekit's blue eyes suddenly shined. "Can I see your brother Fluffykit for a second?" she mewed.
"Sure." Fluffykit walked in. "Can I help you?" he asked. He saw Littlekit, and he got hypnotized by her cuteness. "Hi." he purred loudly. "I'm Fluffykit."
"I'm Littlekit!" Littlekit purred. Her eyes shined like the morning sun.
"I'm going to go explore the camp. See you later!" Fluffykit mewed as he left the nursery.
Smokykit rolled her blind eyes. She went to go exploring with Fluffykit. "Bye. I'm going exploring!" Smokykit mewed.
The two kits came to the elder's den. Speckledust came to greet them. "Now who are you two kits?"
"I'm Smokykit, and my brother's name is Fluffykit.
"Ah. Such wonderful names." purred Sloth.
"Thanks." Smokykit mewed.
"Now how old are you?" asked Sloth.
"We're going to be 6 moons old tomorrow!" Smokykit and Fluffykit exclaimed together.
"I see! Almost apprentices." Roseleaf mrrowed.
Fluffykit and Smokykit yawned. We better be getting to bed.
They curled up in their comfy bed of moss and slept peacefully, Smokykit dreaming of being the medicine cat, Fogpool's, apprentice while Fluffykit dreamed of becoming the deputy, Tigressheart's, apprentice.
The next morning, Heatherstar called a Clan meeting.
"I hereby call upon these kits to become apprentices. Smokykit, you are now Smokypaw. You are the apprentice of Fogpool. Fluffykit, you are now Fluffypaw. You are the apprentice of Tigressheart. Frogkit, you are now Frogpaw. You are the apprentice of Mudpuppyslither. Wolfkit, you are now Wolfpaw. You are the apprentice of Flyingfish. Littlekit, you are now Littlepaw. You are the apprentice of Graysquirrel. Prariedogkit, you are now Prariedogpaw. You are the apprentice of Chestnutfall. Mistykit, you are now Mistypaw. You are the apprentice of Polarbear." All the new apprentices rubbed noses with their mentors.
"Smokypaw! Fluffypaw! Frogpaw! Wolfpaw! Littlepaw! Prariedogpaw! Mistypaw!" all the warriors chanted happily, especially the new mentors.
The next morning, it was a full moon. Time for a Gathering.
The leaders of FoxClan, AshClan, TornadoClan, and SharkClan all gathered atop the Great Hill.
"Heatherstar, you go first." Silverstar, the leader of SharkClan, mewed.
"We have new apprentices. Smokypaw, Fluffypaw, Frogpaw, Wolfpaw, Littlepaw, Prariedogpaw, and Mistypaw. Fluffypaw and Smokypaw, formerly Smoky and Fluffy, used to be kittypets. They don't smell of Twolegs, though." Heatherstar mewed.
"You next." Heatherstar meowed to Tawnystar.
"Flamestar has passed away. The new deputy is Tundratree. We mourn for Flamestar's loss. But her death brought the birth of Elmbark and Kinkedleg's kits. Koalakit, Pythonkit, Scorpionkit, and Flamekit are welcomed into the Clan." Tawnystar mewed. "Flaringstar, you next."
"Our deputy, Badgerface, has died. The new deputy is Ravenfeather. We mourn the loss of Badgerface and hope that he safely made it into SoulClan." Flaringstar, the leader of TornadoClan, meowed. He was the oldest leader, at 134 moons old.
Next it was Silverstar's turn. She was the youngest leader, at 13 moons old. "My kits, Spottedkit, Hamsterkit, and Fawnkit, are now apprentices. We welcome them into the apprentices' den. Their mentors are Magicwish, Kangaroobounce, and Hurricanewind." She stepped down. "The gathering is over. You are dismissed."
