The rest of the day went by quickly until it was finally time for Lionpaw's warrior ceremony.

"May all cats old enough to catch their own pray please join here under the high rock for a Clan meeting?" Firestar's voice echoed across the clearing and the cats sat around and waited.

"Lionpaw, can you please come up here?" Lionpaw walked up and stood in front of his leader. He looked at his clan and saw Tigerstar and Hawkfrost among those there to watch him take his warrior name. Brambleclaw could tell that they were there as well. The ceremony then started.

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn." He looked down at Lionpaw, anxiety and fear hidden in his gaze. Lionpaw could tell that his father had warned Firestar of his meetings with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost. "Lionpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." Answered Lionpaw.

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Lionpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Lionfrost. StarClan honors your dedication and your courage and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan. The whole Clan began to chant his name.

"Lionfrost! Lionfrost!"

"As Clan tradition, you need to watch over the Clan in complete silence until morning." Brambleclaw reminded his son.

"I know, Brambleclaw." He retorted and strode over to the center of the clearing and sat down, wrapping his tail neatly over his feet. He saw Brambleclaw shake his head angrily and walk over to where Squirrelflight was and began talking to her. Soon they made their way to the warriors den and it was just Lionfrost alone in the clearing. It was calming and peaceful. Everyone was asleep and quiet. The night went by quickly and then the warriors of ThunderClan began to wake up. Firestar himself came out of his den to tell Lionfrost that his vigil was over and that he could now speak.

"Lionfrost, I would like to talk to you." He whispered quietly into the ear of his newest warrior.

"What about, Firestar?" Lionfrost answered.

"It should wait until we are alone."

"Well, where should we go?"

"Follow me." Lionfrost went after Firestar and they went to the training area that the apprentices were usually seen training in, but it was too early. The apprentices were still asleep.

"What is that you needed to speak to me about, Firestar?" Lionfrost asked his leader respectfully.

"Brambleclaw has told me that you have been meeting with Hawkfrost and Tigerstar in your dreams."
"So, what's wrong about my deceased kin wishing to speak with me?"
"Tigerstar was a murderer, Hawkfrost wished to take over the clans as well as try to kill me with the help of your father."

"And look, Brambleclaw is still the deputy of ThunderClan."
"Because he turned his back on Hawkfrost and killed him to save my life, Lionfrost!"

"My family wants to make me a better warrior, what is wrong with that?"
"They will end up brainwashing you or something! You'll be asked to murder for their pleasure to help you take over the forest and I am not willing to let that happen. I don't care about my life, but I will not let you murder innocent cats, Lionfrost!" Firestar walked away from him and back to camp as Lionfrost was left to his own thoughts. Maybe listening to his kin was a bad idea.
