"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Called Firestar. It was the day after Sandkit and Firekit had been born. He waited until the Clan had gathered before continuing, "Today, it is time to make three new warriors and four new apprentices. Briarpaw, Bumblepaw, Blossompaw, come forward." The three older apprentices stepped forward excitedly as Graystripe and Millie looked at them proudly.

"I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these three apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Briarpaw, Bumblepaw, Blossompaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" asked Firestar.

"I do." answered Briarpaw.

"I do." echoed Bumblepaw.

"I do." meowed Blossompaw.

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names. Briarpaw, from this moment you will be known as Briarclaw. StarClan honors your strength and courage and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan. Bumblepaw, from this moment you will be known as Bumblesting. StarClan honors your strength and speed and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan. Blossompaw, from this moment you will be known as Blossomheart. StarClan honors your intelligence and kindness and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Briarclaw! Bumblesting! Blossomheart! Briarclaw! Bumblesting! Blossomheart!" chanted the ThunderClan cats.

"Scorchkit, Brightkit, Burningkit, Smallkit, come forward. Scorchkit, from this moment, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Scorchpaw. Brackenfur! You were a good mentor to Hollyleaf. Now you will be mentor to Scorchpaw. Teach her all you know."

"Yes, Firestar." meowed Brackenfur.

"Brightkit, from this moment, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Brightpaw. Sorreltail! You have not had an apprentice yet, but Sandstorm and Dustpelt taught you well. You will be mentor to Brightpaw. Teach her all you know."

"Yes, Firestar." meowed Sorreltail.

"Burningkit, from this moment, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Burningpaw. Poppyfrost! You have also not had an apprentice yet, but you were taught well by Thornclaw. You will be mentor to Burningpaw. Teach him all you know."

"Yes, Firestar." meowed Poppyfrost.

"Smallkit, from this moment, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Smallpaw. Cloudtail! You were an excellent mentor to Cinderheart. You will be mentor to Smallpaw. Teach him all you know."

"Yes, Firestar." meowed Cloudtail.

"Scorchpaw! Brightpaw! Burningpaw! Smallpaw! Scorchpaw! Brightpaw! Burningpaw! Smallpaw!" chanted the ThunderClan cats.
