Cloverstar awoke at dawn and decided to check on the new warriors she had made the night before. It was because of the warrior code that each new warrior would stand a silent vigil the night of their warrior ceremony, to protect and guard the camp while their clanmates slept. She remembered her own warrior ceremony. Littermates shared their vigil most of the time unless the other had an illness or was not ready to be a warrior, but Cloverstar and Maplefoot had theirs at the same time, and during their vigil, Cloverstar, who at the time was Cloversplash, had started to fall asleep, but Maplefoot had nudged her awake just in time, for Snowfang was padding towards them to go out for some night hunting with Seedfall, Maplefoot's former mentor. Cloverstar laughed at the memory. Snowfang was so suspicious of the guilty look on her face, but she hadn't said anything, thank Starclan. Cloverstar saw Lilystream and Berryfrost sitting at the entrance to the camp and were doing well in keeping awake and silent. Since it was dawn, their vigil was over and it was time for them to get some sleep. Cloverstar padded over to the new warriors.
"You two did splendid. It's time for some rest. Why don't you two go to the warriors den for some sleep before going out on patrol? Cloverstar meowed.
"We'd love to!" Exclaimed Lilystream, before her brother could slap his tail over her mouth for speaking.
"It's okay," Cloverstar meowed. "You can speak now. Now, go to your nests." Cloverstar watched as the new warriors scrambled off towards their nests. Berryfrost, forgetting that he was a warrior now, had ran to the apprentices den, where he re-emerged shortly after, embarrassed by his mistake. Lilystream hadn't missed it either, and Cloverstar watched her stifle a mrrow of laughter. This is how life should be, Cloverstar thought, regular patrols and training sessions, new life in the nursery, and brave and loyal warriors willing to serve their clan until their last breath. Battles were a part of clan life, and no cat could change that. Fighting was natural in the clans, and sometimes the only thing that can solve a problem, but Cloverstar enjoyed the calm, peacefulness of after a battle. With that in mind, she padded off to see how her mate was doing on his first day as deputy.
