Lightpaw POV

I padded into the Healer's den, a huge trout in my mouth. LeopardClan preferred to eat woodland prey but during leaf-bare when prey was scarce we are nearly full-fed on the fish from the river. Plus, recently we had been taking more and more prey from the river in order to flaunt our victory over LionClan. As my good eye adjusted to the gloom of the Healer's den I saw Hawksight sorting herbs with his back to me.

I dropped the trout, "I brought you some fresh-kill, Hawksight." I purred in greeting. Hawksight merely twitched his tail to show that he heard. I continued, "Today is my warrior ceremony."

At that Hawksight turned toward me for the first time, purring, "That's great Lightpaw! You deserve it." Hawksight leaned down and gave me an affectionate lick on the ear. Since Frostwhisker's death a few moons ago, Hawksight had not acted any different in his feelings toward me- he said he did not blame me for his mentor's death but, rather, he blamed him-self. He had told me about his vision about my death during the battle and how Frostwhisker had gone in his stead. When Hawksight had told me that, I had felt twice as grateful to Frostwhisker. He had saved not only my life but Hawksight's as well. I knew that Hawksight blamed himself for not stopping his mentor and going after me himself, but I could hardly bear the guilt at having gotten Frostwhisker killed- I don't know how I would have lived with myself if it had been Hawksight who had given his life for mine.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather below the Great-stump for a clan meeting!" Stormstar's voice sounded from the clearing, jolting me out of my thoughts. Excitement flooded through me, This is it. I think as I give my fur a quick once-over with my tongue even though I'm sure Dapplepatch will make a fuss over me either way. Hawksight followed silently behind me as I stepped out of the Healer's den and into the clearing.

I let Dapplepatch fuss for a minute, thinking that Oak-kit should be here too. After I passed my mother's inspection I went to sit at the foot of the Great-stump. Stormstar looked down at me with kind gray eyes as he said, "I call upon our warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, she has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble law and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Lightpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior laws and defend LeopardClan even at the cost of your life?"

I replied confidently, "I do!"

"Then by the power of the Stars I give you your warrior name. Lightpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Lightmoon, the Stars honor your loyalty and spirit." Stormstar leaned down and touched his muzzle to my head and in return I licked his shoulder before stepping back to sit next to Eaglescar as the clan chanted my new name, I purred as I realized that Hawksight was calling the loudest. Hawksight came over and pressed his muzzle against mine, purring. Others came over too, my parents' eyes shone with pride as they congratulated me, and Rosebud's eyes were warm as she waddled over, her belly heavy with Talloak's kits.

I sat staring up at the stars. It is my warrior's vigil and the air is cold but I hardly notice it, all of my being is filled with warmth at being a warrior at last. As I sit here I can't help but wonder if the Stars are watching me, if they are proud of whom I've become. I think of Rosebud's kits who will be born soon, and dreamed about when Hawksight and I would share in that joy for ourselves. Before I know it, the first light of dawn is shining over the horizon.

I run through the forest, Hawksight is hard on my paws. He knows the forest as well as any LeopardClan cat; he does not trip or falter. We pause at the top of the ravine leading down to the camp.

Hawksight turns fearful blind eyes on me, "I don't know if I can do this." He says nervously.

"Don't be mouse-brained! Of course you can!" I reassure him.

"This is the first time I've done this without Frostwhisker. What if I mess up?"

I press my nose into his shoulder fur reassuringly, "You won't mess up. You're a great Healer. One day you will be the best the clans have ever seen."

Hawksight gives a soft purr of amusement, "How do you know that? Did the Stars tell you?"

I snort, "Like they'd tell me anything. I know because I believe in you." Hawksight blinks warmly at me and I feel myself falling into those blue eyes. A yowl of pain reminds us of the task at hand. "We should go." I say. He nods and we charge down the ravine and into the camp.

We hurry toward the nursery where Talloak is pacing outside- exactly as I left him when I went to find Hawksight when Rosebud's pains started. Hawksight ducks inside the nursery while I wait outside, there for Hawksight as much as I was there for Rosebud.

It seems like I sit there for forever, Rosebud's screams of pain sounding every now and then. Then, a new squeal fills the air, followed shortly by a second.

A few heartbeats later, Hawksight emerges, "Congratulations, you have two sons." He addresses Talloak. Talloak purrs his thanks before ducking inside the nursery himself.

After a while, Talloak re-emerges, pride on his face, "They're perfect!" he exclaims, Dashing away, doubtless to spread his joy with the clan.

Hawksight nudges me toward the entrance, "Go on. You should see them." I nod and enter the nursery, Hawksight behind me.

Rosebud is curled up in a nest in the corner of the nursery, two little bundles of fur nestled against her belly. I peer closely at the bundles with my good eye. They are so cute! I purr. One is muscular with strange white splotches on his head, chest, and paws. The other made me purr with amusement and adoration, he was a lot smaller than his brother, showing the promise of legs as long as his father's, but what was his most striking feature were the large ears that seemed to take up his whole head. "They're beautiful. Have you thought of names yet?"

Rosebud nods, purring at her tiny sons, "Yes. This one is Whitekit and this one is Longkit." She touches the larger tom and the smaller tom in turn. As I stare down at the tiny kits I'm overcome with intense desire and envy, glancing briefly at Hawksight before turning back to the kits.

Hawksight presses closer to me and whispers in my ear, "One day we will have kits." He promises. I shiver at how he is able to hear my thoughts so easily.

The full-moon shines down on the clans as they gather at Four-Oaks for the Meet-Moon. A yowl from atop the Sky Boulder silences the chatter of the mingling cats and starts the Meet-Moon.

Stormstar goes first, "LeopardClan is thriving off of the fish from our river. We have a new warrior this moon, Lightmoon has come tonight for her first Meet-Moon as a warrior." Meows of congratulation sound around the clearing. Stormstar continues, "Whitekit and Longkit were born to Rosebud this moon as well." More yowls sound at this.

Sunstar steps forward next, "LionClan is thriving as well despite the leaf-bare chill. We have three new warriors this moon, Runningflame, Morningbird, and Fallenpine." The gathered cats call out the names of the young warriors warmly.

Swiftstar steps forward last, her blue eyes shining in the light of the full-moon, "TigerClan is strong too, we have one new warrior, Brightfire. Also, our Healer apprentice has received her full name, Ivyshade is a credit to her clan." Near me a pale-orange TigerClan she-cat with black stripes dips her head in embarrassment as the clans call her name while Ivyshade, sitting next to Hawksight, lifts her pretty silver-striped head proudly.

As soon as the leaders jump down from the Sky Boulder I head over to Hawksight, dipping my head in greeting to Thundercloud and Petalfall of LionClan as I pass them. I greet Hawksight with an affectionate lick on the cheek, glaring at Ivyshade as I sit next to my mate.

Ivyshade doesn't react to the hostility in my look but dips her head politely in greeting, "Congratulations on receiving your warrior name Lightmoon. How is prey running in LeopardClan?" Ivyshade's green eyes are kind as she addresses me. Immediately I feel bad about my jealousy; I have nothing to fear from this cat, she was from a different clan and besides, she was very nice.

I dip my head politely to her, and my voice matches hers in kindness when I say, "Thank you. Prey is running well. Congratulations on receiving your name as well." We sit and talk for a bit and when Stormstar calls for LeopardClan to depart I am pleased to have made a new friend- though I refuse to let that get in the way of my loyalty to the Warrior Laws and my clan.

A/N: Ok I realize that in all of my other chapters some of the newly named warriors were listed as kits. This was due to laziness, forgetfulness, and the fact that their names weren't important in the other chapters.
