Divided Loyalties
Prologue
The sun set on a warm new-leaf evening. Three kits, Pebblekit, Lionkit, and Moonkit, sat outside the nursery, watching the sky. They were to be apprenticed the next day.
Moonkit, a brown tabby tom, mewed, "Wow, the sky looks so…"
"Beautiful," finished Lionkit, a golden she-cat. Pebblekit, a light gray she-cat with silver paws and muzzle, nodded in agreement.
Willowcloud and Gingerfrost, two ThunderClan queens, padded up to the kits.
"Come, Pebblekit and Lionkit. You need your rest for your apprentice ceremony tomorrow." Gingerfrost meowed to her two daughters.
"Yes, you too, Moonkit," meowed Willowcloud to her son.
The kits agreed, and hurried off into the nursery, excited for the coming day.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting." called Firestar, the ThunderClan leader, from atop the Highledge. Lionkit prodded Pebblekit awake with one paw.
"Pebblekit! Time for our apprentice ceremony!" cried Lionkit.
Pebblekit was awake in an instant. Lionkit, Moonkit, and Pebblekit hurried out of the nursery, followed by their purring mothers.
"Pebblekit, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Pebblepaw. Your mentor will be Squirrelflight. Squirrelflight, may you pass all of your courage and bravery to your young apprentice." Firestar meowed.
Squirrelflight came forward and touched noses with the excited Pebblepaw.
Lionkit and Moonkit sat restlessly, purring their congratulations to Pebblepaw.
"Moonkit, until you receive your warrior name, you'll be known as Moonpaw. Your mentor will be Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw, may you pass all your great hunting skills to your young apprentice."
Moonkit, wriggling with excitement, touched noses with Brambleclaw.
"Lionkit, until you receive your warrior name, you'll be known as Lionpaw. Your mentor will be…" Firestar paused, deep in thought. "Me," he finally finished. He leaped down off the Highledge and touched noses with Lionpaw.
Pebblepaw, Lionpaw, and Moonpaw stood together in the middle of the clearing, the cats crying, "Pebblepaw! Moonpaw! Lionpaw!"
A young, dusty-colored apprentice padded up to the three friends. "Hey, Pebblepaw, Lionpaw, Moonpaw! I'm Questpaw." he meowed. "I'll show you the apprentice's den."
