The borders were still in place, cats still fought but there was a new respect for life, for StarClan. No one doubted the kin of Tigerstar anymore. No matter how much they looked like him. The dead were cared for and yet there were happy ceremonies as well. It happened at a gathering. This one started at sun high like their first one.
"I would like you all to witness a few well earned warrior ceremonies." Firestar said. Mistystar nodded and looked at Onestar. In place of Russetfur and Blackstar stood the newly named Rowanstar.
"I Firestar, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warriors in their turn."
"Dewpaw, Cedarpaw, Bearpaw, Wolfpaw and Redpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." The sibling's said. Dewpaw blinked back pain in her eyes and replied, "I do."
"Then by StarClan I give you your warrior names. Dewpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Dewshine. We honor your intelligence and caring ways. Cedarpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Cedarfur. We honor your courage and commitment." Firestar said. "Bearpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Bearstep, in honor of a warrior who would have loved to see this day. We honor your bravery and skill. Wolfpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Wolfrush. We honor your swiftness and craftiness. And lastly, Redpaw, you will be known as Redmist. We honor your honesty and respect. We welcome you all as full Thunderclan warriors."
All the clans cheered and Mistystar walked up to Bearstep purring too loudly for words. She looked up and smiled as the sunshine brightened. The Clans would be ok for a while yet.
