When arriving at the ThunderClan camp, Firestar jumped onto a high rock. He yowled, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey join under Highrock for a clan meeting. You too, Mosskit." Mosskit didn't move. Jayfeather urged her forward though, so she sat at the very front. "Cats of ThunderClan, what Onestar did was wrong on so many levels. We have a new clanmate tonight, Mosskit. Onestar exiled her for hurting a WindClan warrior." Uproar arose. Cats of ThunderClan was shaking their heads and exclaiming their sadness. Next to Jayfeather, a black she cat came, and on her other side, a golden tom. The golden tom licked her head. Mosskit crouched away. "Cats, settle down. Since this is Mosskits sixth moon, I have to follow the warrior code. Mosskit, come up here." Mosskit sat where she was. The golden warrior whispered in her ear.

"I am Lionblaze. You are about to become an apprentice. Jump up on that small ledge, and climb." Mosskit nodded her head in excitement. She did what Lionblaze told her to do. Firestar continued the ceremony.

"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this kit. She would like to become a warrior of ThunderClan, but must first become an apprentice. Mosskit, from this day forth, until you have earned your warrior name, you will be known as Mosspaw. Lionblaze, you will train Mosspaw. Ashfur was your mentor. I hope that his bravery and skills will pass through you to your new apprentice."

"I shall, Firestar. Come on, Mosspaw." Lionblaze started to cheer. "Mosspaw, Mosspaw!" Soon after, the clan cheered. Mosspaw jumped off Highrock and grinned as ThunderClan came to her with purrs and cheers. She quickly ran out of the group, into the forest. She curled up into a ball next to a tree root.

" I am still a WindClan cat! I am still a WindClan cat!" she whispered. No, you were exiled, remember. "No!" she screamed. She curled up into a ball and wept. She smelled a scent approach her. She picked up her head to see Lionblaze sitting next to her.

"Don't worry. Unlike other cats, I do not judge. Mosspaw, you look like an intelligent, pretty, smart, brave young she cat to go though all of that. I am proud that you are my apprentice." Mosspaw sat up. She purred at Lionblaze. "Come now. Let's make you a nest in the apprentice den." The two padded back to camp, talking and laughing.

Once back in camp, Lionblaze and Mosspaw went into the apprentice den. They gathered moss and created a soft nest. "Lionblaze, I am going to get more moss." Mosspaw said.

"Wait, Mosspaw. We have enough. I am going to take you to meet your clanmates."

"Okay!" Mosspaw was excited. She couldn't wait to see.

"Okay, first the apprentices. This is Foxpaw and Icepaw." A fox pelt tom and a icy she cat greeted her.

"Hi! I am Foxpaw, the awesome!"

"No! I am Icepaw, the awesomest! Welcome to ThunderClan, Mosspaw!"

"Thanks." Mosspaw looked up at Lionblaze, who smiled.

"Come now, Mosspaw, lets go to the elders den." The two went to a stone cover, where elders layed.

"Mosspaw, this is Mousefur and Longtail." Mosspaw looked around. Longtail was obliously blind, his eyes clouded. Mousefur had a pelt like a mouse, with an annoyed gaze."

"Hello, WindClanner. I am Mousefur." Lionblaze looked angry.

"Come on, Mosspaw. Lets go before that tries to attack." Mousefur's hiss was heard when they were outside the den. Next, they went to meet the warriors.

"Mosspaw, this is my sister Hollyleaf." The black she cat gave a kind gaze. "That is Graystipe and Brightheart. Where is everyone else?"

"On a patrol. And since it is night, a border patrol."

"Very good! Looks like you know a lot about a warrior's life!" Mosspaw grinned. After that, they went to the queens den, and then Firestar's den. One queen named Mille gave Mosspaw two feathers for her nest. Mosspaw kept on sneezing though. Finally, they reached the apprentice den. Lionblaze said, "Wake up early tomowwer, Mosspaw. We need to explore the territory." He licked her head, and Mosspaw went inside the den and fell asleep.
