"I, Echostream, medicine cat of LeafClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help she will serve her Clan for many moons." meowed Echostream.

Glitterpaw stood in front of the Starlight pond. She recalled what had happened since the last gathering. Silverstar had caught green-cough and lost a life, right after losing a life from her neck wound getting infected. This left the leader with only four lives left, and Glitterpaw worried about her greatly. Ebonypaw and Autumnpaw were recently apprenticed also and she kinda liked them.

Glitterpaw had not heard of anything from her sister or from Mintstar, and she could decide if she was happy about it or sad about that.

Suddenly she realized all the medicine cats were looking at her and she blushed. Echostream smirked, "Well since your wern't paying attention lets restart that part."

Glitterpaw nodded, slightly embarrassed. She could see Featherpaw glaring at her from next to Spottedsky. Featherpaw had been very angry since she had been an apprentice longer than Glitterpaw and still didn't have her full medicine cat name yet. Glitterpaw smiled as she remembered the conversation between Spottedsky and Featherpaw.

"But I'm older than her."

"But I'm you mentor, and I don't thin your ready yet."

"But I've been apprenticed longer!"

"And if you continue this you'll be apprenticed forever!"

Featherpaw shut up then, but still cats angry glares at Glitterpaw. Glitterpaw smirked back at her. Suddenly she snapped back into reality as she heard her metor begin to say the ceremonial words again.

"Glitterpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?" Asked Echostream her blind eyes flashed with a excitement that Glitterpaw had never seen her have before.

Glitterpaw gulped, the words that she was required to say almost came tumbling out. No, say them slow and relish the meaning, she told herself. She looked up into her mentors eyes, feeling more determined than ever. "I do." she meowed steady, her voice strong and determined.

Echostream blinked and continued "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Glitterpaw, from this moment you will be known as Glitterpool. StarClan honors your memory and determination, and we welcome you as a full medicine cat of LeafClan."

Echostream rested her muzzle on Glitterpool's head and Glitterpool licked her shoulder.

"Congratulations Glitterpool." meowed Littlefern, happier than she normally was around Echostream and Glitterpool.

"Thank you." meowed Glitterpool.

"Congrats." muttered Featherpaw, and Spottedsky cuffed her.

"She means Congratulations Glitterpool you earned this title." meowed Spottedsky.

Glitterpaw doubted she meant that because Featherpaw snorted right after bearing another cuff by her mentor.

Glitterpool and the rest of the medicine cats rested around the Starlight Pond, touching noses and falling asleep until she was the only one left. She touched her nose to the pond water and felt a cold seep around her, she shivered and closed her eyes as she began to travel to StarClan. When she opened her eeys she saw none other than Bluestar. She sat, her blue eyes round, next to her was Firestar. They both looked even more faded than the last time she had seen them.

"You have forgotten your mission." Bluestar meowed.

Glitterpool felt angry rise through her body, How dare they. She had so much to deal with at the time. MistClan could attack at any moment and her sister was still being held prisoner by Mintstar and her clan. "I have a lot on my plate." she shrugged.

Bluestar's eyes narrowed till they were mere slits. "Do you think we don't either! Half of StarClan is gone! You need to find the other clan and you need to tell the clan about ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan!"

Glitterpool felt her pelt bristle. "I promised I would save my sister and I will not break my promise. My sister comes first!"

She turned to Firestar who sat silently, he make eye contact and Glitterpool blinked. "I'm leaving now."

Bluestar didn't argue and Glitterpool closed her eyes, she felt her body become warmer and when she opened her eyes again she saw the Starlight Pond. The other medicine cats were waking up, and Glitterpool stood up, she stretched and looked around.

She sure had a lot on her plate. But she would not break her promise. She would help the StarClan cats but only after she had saved her sister from MistClan and Mintstar.

She followed Echostream out of the Starlight Pond and back to LeafClan, dragging herself slowly. That was another promise, she realized. Another promise I will not break!
