Prolouge... A dark-gray tabby tom leaped onto the rock. "All cats old enough to catch thier own prey gather beneth Ice-rock for a meeting." Beside the rock, a silver tabby she-cat stood, her blue eyes gleaming, and her fur smoothed down.Her medicine-cat mentor, Spottedcloud, watched proudly. Once all of the cats were sitting below the rock, he began. "I, Stonestar, leader of the MountainClan, call upon our warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, who has dedicated herself to the warrior code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." Padding up to Silverpaw, he mewed, "Silverpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from the rivalry between Clan and Clan, and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your own life?" "I do." "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Silverpaw, from this moment you will be know as Silverleaf." "Silverleaf, Silverleaf!" Her new name rang out across the frosty clearing, as if they were welcoming a new warrior.
