Wow, I can't believe this is almost over...I'm gonna have to start writing the outline for the next book, so I think I will do that after this chapter. But, there are nine chapters to go...I think...I might make it thirty chapters like the other book...Either way, thanks Moonstreak1 and flareon200 for reviewing!

~Chapter 28~

Darkness had begun to creep over the moors, plunging it into a cold, icy world. Weaselstar shivered as another cold gust of wind sliced through the air. Leaf-bare had definitely arrived, to his dismay. It was cold and bitter out, and snow had already begun to fall.

But, life had gone back to normal. It was as though the Journey had never happened, and the Clans already began to recover. Hollystar's reign was long over, and so was Breezestar's. Cinderstar had announced that Peppermint was now expecting kits, and peace had come to the new territory.

Now, he was adressing the Clan from atop a high branch, which he noticably named, the HighBranch. Three kits stared at him with wide, excited eyes. Shadeflower and Hazelfern had been promised new apprentices, since they were still young and fit warriors. And he had promised Heathertail an apprentice as well, though he could see that she was looking at him expectantly, like he might change his mind.

"By naming apprentices we show that our Clan will remain strong. Heronkit, from this moment on, you will be known as Heronpaw. Shadeflower, you are ready for an apprentice. You had a fine mentor in Owlwhisker, and I expect you to pass on all you have learned from him to Heronpaw."

He watched proudly as the two cats exchanged nose rubs. Heronpaw's eyes were as wide as moons as she looked at him, and he gave a soft purr. Then he turned to Sagekit, who was the most energtic of the three kits. Hazelfern was just as energetic as he was, and he thought that she would be the best choice for him. She'd be able to keep up with his training, and she might even teach him how to calm down when it was necessary.

"Sagekit, until you have received your warrior name, you will be known as Sagepaw. Hazelfern, you are also ready for an apprentice. You are both energetic and enthusiastic about everything, and I expect you to pass this on to Sagepaw."

When they were finished, he looked at Buzzardkit. For some reason, he had found a liking towards the small dark gray kit. Buzzardkit may have been the smallest, but he also seemed to be the wisest. That was why he had chosen Heathertail as his mentor. And Weaselstar grinned when he noticed a hint of worry in Buzzardkit's huge eyes.

"Buzzardkit, until you have received your warrior name, you will be known as Buzzardpaw. Heathertail, you are more then ready for an apprentice. I expect you to pass on all you have learned from Crowfeather to Buzzardpaw."

Heathertail's eyes darkened at the mention of Crowfeather, but she rubbed her nose with Buzzardpaw just the same. Crowfeather had been one of the cats who betrayed WindClan. But in the end, he had seen the light like Lionblaze, which was ultimately the cause of his death.

When the meeting drew to an end, he slowly padded back into his own den, which was close to the HighBranch. Woodtail's den was close by, and the medicine cat was eyeing the three newest apprentices curiously.

Weaselstar knew that he would want an apprentice soon, and he guessed that Woodtail was looking for the best choice in the Clan. With a shake of his head, Weaselstar slipped into his den and curled up in his nest, ready to sleep the night away.

Cheezy ending, I know. And I'm really sorry that's it's so short, I just wasn't sure what else to add. It's hard to write about Weaselstar sometimes...anyways, sadly, I just decided to end the story at twenty-nine chapters. I'm really sorry for those who wanted it to be longer! But Distant Stars is coming soon, don't worry! Epilogue is up next! And of course this damn computer isn't centering properly, so sorry about the chapter thingy!
