Solemnstar summoned the clan to gather below Highrock. He looked over all of them, and smiled when he saw Thornpaw getting a wash from his finicky mother, who didn't do a very good job. The apprentice batted her away, and sat beside his mentor, Juniperspots.
"I call upon my warrior ansecetors to look upon this apprentice. He has trained to follow your noble code and in turn wishes to be made a warrior in return..."
Thornpaw began to walk towards the leader.
"...but," Thornpaw stopped, his leader wasn't done, "after stealing prey from a fellow warrior, it is only fair that he be punished with a warrior name that will remind him how to always be a warrior and act like one."
Seldomnstar looked at Thornpaw, "You will no longer be known as Thornpaw, and will be given the name you earned, Hoaxface. I hope what Juniperspots taught you well and her training will always be on your mind before you do something stupid."
All the cats below were dead silent, except Stormcry, who let out a snicker and called, "Hoaxface, Hoaxface!"
Eventually the other apprentices joined in. Hoaxface himself, looked at the ground and jumped off the rock and ran to the Warrior's Den in shame.
Stormcry suddenly stopped calling his name when she thought to herself, 'Did I just ruin another life?'
She looked at Solemnstar, who padded up beside her and whispered "It had to be done. If he earns it, I'll change his name, its not your fault. You only told the truth."
Stromcry looked to Silverpelt, angry for telling her a damned prophecy, and for making every problem her fault. She walked with her head bowed to her nest, and whimpered until she fell into an awful sleep full of demons and nightmares.
