Chapter 1

On a dark and beautiful night, Maplestar looked up to Silverpelt. Icepool padded up behind her.

"You're up late Maplestar," Icefang said, "What's wrong?" "Lightfeather has been caught bringing rouges food,"Maplestar said quietly, "This is a tragic, since Lightfeather was our deputy…"

Icefang was shocked, since Lightfeather was one of Icefang's best friend. "Does this mean that he's going to be banished?" Icefang asked quietly. "I'm afraid so…" Maplestar said sadly, "Tomorrow, I will announce it to the clan, as well as choose the new deputy. Have Starclan given you any messages Icefang?"

"No, not yet," Icefang replied.

Suddenly, Icefang saw six stars twinkle brighter and brighter and a shooting star pass it, and Icefang got an image. There were cats standing there, and two other cat padding towards them, surrounded by many other cats.

Icefang suddenly came to, and said, "Starclan just spoke to me. There seems to be a new prophecy." "A new one? What did Starclan say?" Maplestar asked.

"I think Starclan's message was "The Sun lays in rage, The Dawn creates a storm, The Snake fangs will poison, The Shade turns into wings, The Mist glides and travels as a feather, The Souls will fall, The Moon sings a song and collides with the Sun, Dooms will be reborn, As well as the heroes" She said. "The Moon sings a song and collides with the Sun? I wonder what that means," Maplestar said, "We should get some sleep, I also think some kits are ready to become apprentices."

The next day, Sunkit and Dawnkit woke up, as usual next to their mother and brother, Morningheart and Firekit.

They ran out, bumping into their dad, Flamestorm. "Where are you two going?" Flamestorm asked. "We're going out to play!" Dawnkit said happily.

Flamestorm smiled, "Be safe! You're going to be apprentices today too!" Sunkit and Dawnkit looked at each other. They forgot that they were six moons.

"We will!" Sunkit said energetically.

Sunkit and Dawnkit ran to where they always played at. Soundkit and Cloudkit padded out of the nursery, and ran over to Sunkit and Dawnkit. They all played together, as usual.

Maplestar stepped onto Highledge, while Lightfeather was on the ground, looking up.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Maplestar said. All the cats looked up, including Sunkit, Dawnkit, Soundkit, and Cloudkit.

"Yesterday night, Lightfeather was caught giving prey to a rouge," Maplestar said sadly.

Almost everyone gasped. "The rogue were threatening me! Saying that they would get others and will invade the clan! I had no choice!" Lightfeather protested.

"Still, you could've told the clan about this." Maplestar said.

"This doesn't look good…" Soundkit said quietly.

Lightfeather looked down, and Maplestar continued. "From now on, you are banished from Thunderclan!" Maplestar said. All the cats gasped, Icefang looking depressed.

Lightfeather got up and started walking out of the territory, and disappeared from the forest.

"And now, I will announce the new deputy," Maplestar said. "I say these words before Starclan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve my choice. The new deputy of Thunderclan will be Leafwind!" Everyone except Flamestorm looked at Leafwind and cheered. "Leafwind! Leafwind!" Everyone chanted.

"Also, there are four kits that are old enough to become apprentices." Maplestar said. "Sunkit, Dawnkit, Soundkit, and Cloudkit, please step up."

The four kits looked at each other and got excited and ran in front of Highledge. "Sunkit, Dawnkit, Soundkit, and Cloudkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you received your warrior names, you four will be named Sunpaw, Dawnpaw, Soundpaw, and Cloudpaw." Maplestar announced. "Sunpaw! Dawnpaw! Soundpaw! Cloudpaw!" Everyone chanted.

"Sunpaw, your mentor shall be me. Leafwind, Lightstrike, Stormclaw, please step forward." Maplestar said. Leafwind, Lightstrike, and Stormclaw stepped forward.

"Leafwind, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Breezetail, and you have shown yourself to be fast and brave. You will be the mentor of Soundpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Soundpaw. "

Lightstrike, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Lightningfoot, and you have shown yourself to be fast and clever. You will be the mentor of Dawnpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Dawnpaw."

"Stormclaw, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Cloudstorm, and you have shown yourself to be fierce and loyal. You will be the mentor of Cloudpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Cloudpaw." Maplestar said.

Maplestar touched noses with Sunpaw, Dawnpaw touched noses with Lightstrike, Soundpaw touched noses with Leafwind, and Cloudpaw touched noses with Stormclaw.

All four of the new mentors looked proud of their new apprentices. "Clan dismissed!" Maplestar said.
