Yo guys. Man, I need to update more regularly. As for my username change, I felt like that needed to happen, as I plan on writing a few Hamilfics. But Fallenstar will return... mwahahaha...

Goldenpaw walked towards the Moonpool. He could hardly contain his excitement, tonight was the night he would become a full medicine cat! He watched as the RiverClan and WindClan medicine cats; Rippleheart and Frostmoon, approached.

"Good evening, Breezyfeather, Goldenpaw." mewed Ripplejeart, her silver coat gleaming with water from the lake. "I heard that you were going to be made a full medicine cat tonight, Goldenpaw."

"Yes, I am." He replied.

"Hmm." said Frostmoon. The grumpy white tom was the oldest of the medicine cats. He looked like he could drop dead at any moment. "I wasn't given my name until I was moons older than this one. My mentor, Brindleheart, upholstery the old ways and made me a full medicine cat after twelve moons of training, just like herself, and all of the medicine cats before her. I'm sure Alderheart was just the same, Breezyfeather."

Breezyfeather bristled at the mention of her long-dead mentor. But she stayed calm.

"Yes, he was twelve moons into training before he received his full name, but my apprentice has received a sign from StarClan, so I find him worthy. And there have been cases of short training periods, or do you not remember Hawktalon's mentor?"

"Puddleshine was a-"

"A great mentor, as I'm sure you were about to say, Frostmoon." Hawktalon said, walking up from the shadows. "He may have been young when he gained his status, but he knew just as much as Brindleheart."

"Ah, hello, Hawktalon." Rippleheart meowed. "I'm glad you're here. We were just discussing the matter of Goldenpaw receiving his full name. And if that's ever going to happen tonight, we'd better get going to the Moonpool, right?"

Frostmoon and Hawktalon glared at each other, but started up the trail to the crystal-like water.

Goldenpaw could feel the tension in the air the entire trek up. He really didn't want these kind of feelings tonight, but he decided against saying anything.q when they arrived, Breezyfeather turned to face her apprentice.

"Goldenpaw, are you ready?"

"Yes... I think."

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Goldenpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from the rivalry between Clan and Clan, and to protect all cats equally l, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Goldenpaw, from this moment you will be known as Goldenbird. I hope you will continue to serve ThunderClan for many more years to come, even after the moon of my death."

Goldenbird looked at his mentor with deep admiration. He imagined himself performing ceremony with his own apprentice one day, though that day was far off.

"Goldenbird! Goldenbird! Goldenbird!" called the other medicine cats. Goldenbird beamed with pride.

"Goldenbird, you know what to do. Dip your nose in the water."

He padded forward. Though he had done this many times before, it felt different now that he had his full name. However, the eerie coldness of the water had not changed.

"Hello, Goldenpaw!" Cloudpaw called the next morning as they came into camp. "Or I guess it's something else now?"

Goldenbird nodded. "It is. Goldenbird."

"Cool, so, I guess you're all important now." Goldenbird could easily detect the jealousy in his brother's voice.

"Nah... I'm still Breezyfeather's apprentice. I just have a new name."

"But you're a full medicine cat. You're treated with respect and even the senior warriors listen to you." Cloudpaw's blue eyes burned with jealousy that wasn't well hidden at all. Goldenbird was a bit taken aback by it, and stepped away a bit.

"Well, I'd better be going..." he said, slowly walking away.

He padded over to Shade's den.

"Hiya, Goldenpaw." she mewed. "What brings you here?"

"Actually, Shade, it's Goldenbird now. I received my full name from my mentor. I came to check on your wounds."

"You know, they're feeling a lot better. I'm pretty sure they've fully healed."

"Well that's nice. But I'd better check them over, just to be sure."

Goldenbird looked over his friend, but she was right, the wounds were completely healed.

"Strange..."

"What's strange?"

"These wounds were still open when I left. But now, just a day later, they've started to scar. It should've taken longer. Did anything happen while I was gone?"

"Not really. Your Clanmates said they spotted some... ShadowClanners, was it? on your territory. But I did have this reall weird dream..."

"What was it about?" Goldenbird asked, curious.

"Well, I was in this clearing that I didn't recognize, and this sparkly brown cat came up and spoke to me. I couldn't really make out what he said... but something about an old forest."

"WHAT? Did this cat have black stripes and amber eyes?"

"Erm.. Yes, why?"

"That cat was in my dream! He's the one who gave the prophecy. And... before the Clans lived here, there was another forest where they lived until it was destroyed by Two legs. They refer to it as the Old Forest!"

"Why does all of this matter? Why is it important?"

"Well... I don't know."

"Wont your leader think it's strange that you just keep figuring out these things?"

"I guess... maybe I'll keep it a secret for now. You won't tell anyone, will you?"

"Goldenbird, I'm a rogue prisoner that was trying to take over the Clans. Is anyone actually going to believe me if I tell them anyway?"

"I guess not. Well I guess I've got a secret to keep. Normally I would tell my mentor or my siblings but now... huh. Only you and I know."

"Yes, it's exciting isn't it?"

Well, that felt good. I've got a new fanfiction coming up that might come off as a little meta and crackfic-y, but it'll be good... probably. Congrats to Pondfrost, who came up with the glorious name for Goldenpaw, you get... Actually, I don't really know what you get. The satisfaction of getting your name chosen? Here, have a fake ticket to a fake showing of Hamilton. Have a good day, y'all!
