A/N: Wow the last chapter already, this went by fast! Ugh today was not a good day. Last night at 3 AM my mom woke me up saying out cat Mac was making weird noises. So we then preceded to open his mouth which is where it was irritating and I swear to god It look like the roof of his mouth was split in two!

So needless to say I was freaking out all night, and got about two hours of sleep. We then took him to the vet this morning, only to find that he had gotten a Rib bone stuck in the roof of his mouth from the garbage. He's fine now and eating up a storm, but jeez he almost gave me a heart attack! Well anyway I may post the Epilogue tonight If I get 150 reviews, and If I do I will post the Terra: Blood Moon synopsis on Friday. Thanks and I hope you like the names I picked out!

CHAPTER 24

Snow blanketed the once soft green grass,as pale sunlight filtered through the bare tree branches. On this chilly morning, tiny snow flakes fell from the peach tainted sky above, falling slowly onto the ground.

Kits darted out from the nursery to try and catch them before they landed, and others dove into the snow piles.

Emberpaw watched with a smile as the clan began to awaken, today was going to be a good day.

It had been three-moons since the death of Lightningcloud, and since Emberpaw had finally gotten his revenge. The deputies betrayal had come as quite a shock to most of the clan, as did the fact that Emberpaw was his son.

The newly named Sandfire and him had become particularly close, it was nice to have a sister again. But his two half-brothers still hated Emberpaw as much as the first day he came to RiverClan, he didn't much like them either.

"Emberpaw, Emberpaw!" shrill yowls came from two tiny kits who were scampering through the piles of snow. He smiled at the kits, who were the offspring of the newly named Frostspots and Wolftail.

"Where's your mother Burrkit?" he meowed to a small brown tom, "I'm sure she's worried sick about you."

The tom sighed as his sister, a spotted gray tabby approached.

"She's sleeping" the she-cat meowed, "Don't worry she'll never know we left!".

Emberpaw shook his head and chuckled, these kits certainly took after their mother, the same feisty attitude.

"Pondkit why don't you go find Aquashine? I'm sure she'd show you some battle moves" he meowed, motioning to where the blue-gray she-cat was dozing near a willow tree.

Both kits eyes widened in excitement, and in a matter of seconds both were racing towards the sleeping she-cat.

Emberpaw gazed at Aquashine as her pelt reflected the pale white sunlight, she was so beautiful. The two had become rather closer since the events three-moons ago, much to the dislike of Timberpaw who had his eyes on her.

Suddenly the sound of paws against wood sounded, and Emberpaw looked up to see Fernstar standing upon the Tall Log.

"Let all cats old enough to fish in the stream, gather here beneath the Tall-Log!" her voice bellowed, although a bit crackled from age.

Emberpaw suddenly became nervous, he totally forgot, today was his naming ceremony!

"Here" a meow came from Hollyfrost who was standing behind Emberpaw, "Let me clean your pelt, I swear you apprentices are always so dirty."

He nodded in thanks, and turned to see Timberpaw and Eelpaw scowling at him. Hollyfrost had become a bit of a mother towards Emberpaw, she had known how much her mate affected his life, and wanted to try and make up for it.

As soon as his pelt was free of moss and snow, Emberpaw padded up to where Fernstar was, and stood next to his two half brothers. Once the entire clan, including the kits joined Fernstar, she began with the ceremony.

"Today is a day to cherish" she began with a loud meow, "We have three new warriors to name, and I know they all deserve it."

Timberpaw puffed his chest out and stood up straight, as Eelpaw curled his long black tail around his paws.

"But before I begin with the naming of these three apprentice, there is one cat who I would like to thank." Instantly all eyes turned to Emberpaw, who else could she be talking about?

"You came into our clan only six-moons ago, nothing more than a loner" she bent her head to look at him. "And now Emberpaw, because you needed to fulfill your mothers last wish, you ended up saving many lives. Mine included."

Emberpaw felt hot with embarrassment, as many cats yowled in agreement.

"And that is why I would like to thank you Emberpaw, thank you for saving RiverClan, and now I will welcome you as a true warrior of our clan."

Timberpaw and Eelpaw hissed at the fact that he would receive his warrior name first, but Emberpaw only flicked his tail in their faces as he leapt onto the tall-log.

"I Fernstar, leader of RiverClan, 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 felt a flicker of excitement rush through his body, Emberpaw was going to be a warrior finally!

"Emberpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?".

Emberpaw took in a deep breath, and nodded, "I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Emberpaw, from this moment you will be known as Embersky. StarClan honors your strength and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan."

Cats cheered at the base of the Tall-Log, as the newly named Embersky stepped down to be greeted by his friends.

"Congratulations!" Blizzardstorm meowed, standing tall over the many cats around him. The once plump tom had certainly muscled up, now he was stronger than even Timberpaw!

"Thanks" he meowed, as four tiny shapes darted towards him. Not only did Burrkit and Pondkit tackle him, but they also brought their older den- mates, Cinderkit and Arrowkit.

"Embersky" a voice as sweet as Honey meowed his new name, it could only come from one cat.

He turned to see the beautiful Aquashine beaming in the sunlight, her sapphire eyes glittering like crystals. The four kits soon leapt off and went to terrorize someone else, as Embersky padded towards Aquashine.

"Congrats" she meowed with a curl of her tail, "Your a full fledged warrior of RiverClan."

He smiled as he dug his muzzle into her soft fur. It smelled of jasmine and flowers, almost as intoxicating as her eye color.

"I love you" she meowed, stepping forward to give him a lick on the ear.

Embersky smiled as well, "I love you too Aquashine".

The two cats stayed for a few moments, their tails intertwined. And then padded off into the forest, a match made in StarClan. Embersky had indeed found true love, but in more ways than one.
