"Let all those who are old enough to catch their own prey join me by the stone boulder for a clan meeting!"
All the cats gathered.
"As some of you know, last night Donntafur spotted a loner coming to our camp. She has decided to join our camp, and become an apprentice."
"Angel, it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Angelpaw. Your mentor will be Leopardfire. I hope Leopardfire will pass down all she knows on to you."
"Leopardfire, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from the first five leaders of the clans, Rock, and Scourge. You have shown yourself to be kind and detemined. You will be the mentor of Angelpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Angelpaw."
Leopardfire touched noses with Angelpaw.
"Welcome to CatnipClan, Angelpaw." Foxpaw said.
"Angelpaw! Angelpaw!"
Two days later, Angelpaw and Leopardfire were on patrol.
"Here, Angelpaw, is the end of the camp, and where the thunderpath begins. Sniff. What cats can you smell?"
Angelpaw sniffed the air.
"Cats." Angelpaw said, "The scent is fresh."
"A bit too fresh." Leopardfire said, sniffing the air once more. "It's not any cat from CatnipClan..."
Angelpaw noticed two cats running straight towards them. They stopped right in front of them.
The sliver and black tom spoke first. "We have been looking for a place of refuge. Our housefolk have abandoned us."
The black tom spoke next. "Our names that our housefolk called us were Frost and Midnight. If this is your territory, we'll leave..."
Leopardfire whispered to Angelpaw, "We should bring them to our camp. Then, Foxstar will take it from there."
"Come to our camp." Angelpaw said, "Our leader shall decide what to do with you."
Leopardfire and Angelpaw came into camp with the two rogues.
"Who are those cats with them?" Nepia whispered to Jewel.
"Rouges." Jewelpaw said, "They want to join the clan."
"How do you know?"
"A dream." Jewelpaw said.
Foxpaw noticed the rouges and knew what to do.
"Let all those who are old enough to catch their own prey join me by the stone boulder for a clan meeting!"
The clan gathered, and the rouges sat next to Leopardfire and Angelpaw.
"Two rogues have decided to join our clan. Come forward, you too."
Frost and Midnight took a few steps forward.
"Frost and Midnight, you two will join the clan as apprentices. From this day on, until you receive your warrior names, you will be known as Frostpaw and mentors will be Donntafur and Leopardfire. I hope Donntafur and Leopardfire will pass down all they know on to you."
He turned to Donntafur. "Donntafur, you are ready to take on your first apprentice. You had received excellent training from me, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and kind. You will be the mentor of Frostpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Frostpaw."
He then turned to Leopardfire. "Can you handle two apprentices?"
Leopardfire nodded.
Foxpaw continued. "Leopardfire, you are ready to take on another apprentice. You had received excellent training from Blackstar and the five original leaders, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and intelligent. You will be the mentor of Shadowpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Shadowpaw."
Frostpaw touched noses with Donntafur, and Shadowpaw touched noses with Leopardfire.
"Frostpaw! Shadowpaw!"
"Tigerfoot, your kits have all been born!" Rowanstar called.
"Congratulations." Littlecloud said, "Three healthy kits. Two she-kits and a tom."
"May I see them?" Tigerfoot asked.
"Of course. She's in the nursery right now."
Tigerfoot walked into the nursery, and saw several queens. He finally saw his mate and his newly born kits.
The flame-colored she-cat noticed Tigerfoot's arrival.
"Tigerfoot. I see you've heard the news."
"I have indeed, Foxwing. What have you decided to name them?"
"The firstborn was the flame-colored she-cat. She looks just like a fox. I'll name her Foxkit."
"Reminds of Foxpaw from a few seasons ago...he and my sister ran away from the clans. They haven't come back since, if they are even alive."
"The second one was this orange and black tom. He's the spitting image of you."
"Tigerkit it is." Tigerfoot said.
"This final kit...is a gray she-cat. Such beautiful blue eyes. Stormkit shall be her name."
"Foxkit, Tigerkit, and Stormkit. Such wonderful names for them." Littlecloud said.
