This chapter is just skipping around, telling what happens when certain cats become warriors. Hope you like it. And also, if you want a kit to appear in part 2 you can review one. All I need is the name and description.

Disclaimer: I do not own warriors. Erin Hunter has that honor.

Chapter 16 End of Their Apprentice Days

Springstar's Point of View

"Finpaw, Brackenpaw, Lightningflash, do you uphold the warrior code and protect the clan, even at the cost of your life?" Springstar asked, knowing the answer.

"I do."

"Then by the powers of Starclan, Finpaw. From now on you shall be known as Fintail. Starclan honors your intelligence and talent. Brackenpaw, from now you shall be known as Brackenheart. Starclan honors you courage and initiative. Lightningpaw, from now on you shall be known as Lightningflash. Starclan honors your fast thinking and loyalty."

"Fintail! Brackenheart! Lightningflash!" The clan cheered, Sunheart and Oceanwind starting the chant.

Springstar nodded, then signaled, ending the clan meeting. Lightwing had joined Starclan two nights ago, and Springstar was sure that Fintail's old mentor had been watching them. Springstar leaped off of the rock pile, and slid quickly into her den, thinking deeply.

Shadepaw's Point of View

"Shadefur! Shadefur! The crowd cheered. Shadefur nodded, happy that she had finally gotten her warrior name. But wished it had not called for a rat attack. She looked at Diamondwing and Willowstorm, who had been with her at the battle. Willowstorm nodded, and Diamondwing looked pleased for her.

Shadefur shyly looked at Snakepaw, her brother. He had not gotten his warrior name for he had not been in the battle. She saw his expression, and looked away sadly. He had not been pleased at all when he had not been invited by Shadefur and Diamondwing to help attack the rats. He was currently glaring at her, and Shadefur quickly looked away, suddenly feeling what her brother was feeling.

Wildpaw's point of View

How could this have happened? This was the worst day of her life! Wildpaw, Icepaw, and Jaypaw had just gotten their warrior names: Wildwind, Icepath, and Jayfur. But, while Wildwind had been standing up, receiving her warrior name, Jayfur had gotten his warrior name on the way to Starclan. After all they had been through, her older brother had passed away.

Icepath had received her warrior name while in the medicine cat's den, unable to move. Sickness had surrounded her, and she was not estimated to live much longer.

So Wildwind was going to do her vigil and see Jayfur for the last night. Icepath had dragged herself out there to see Jayfur, and each of the remaining littermates had known much grief from the sickness. Wildwind bowed her head, her eyes full of tears.

And with Shellstar, the Riverclan leader weak Riverclan didn't have much hope for the remaining cats. Jumpfoot, the deputy had retired to the elder's den, for he was sick and couldn't lead his clan like that in case the worst happened. Shellstar had not chosen a new deputy, and life was hard in Riverclan.

But they had hope, and that was enough. Riverclan would survive! Not even Starclan could change that!

Hope you like Part 1 of Indigo Clouds. To be continued. I will put the allegiances up for Part 2 (Fintail as a warrior), but I will not update it after that for a while. For the next chapters, I'm trying to make it the best so I'm going to write slowly, but have it well thought out.
