"Smallkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Smallpaw. Your mentor will be Redflower. I hope Redflower will pass down all she knows on to you."

Emberstar flicked her tail to signal Redflower up onto the Great Stump.

"Redflower, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Quailwing, and you have shown yourself to be wise and determined. You will be the mentor of Smallpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to him."

Emberstar repeated the words to Limpingkit. Then she turned to Honeykit,

"Honeykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Honeypaw. Your mentor will be my deputy, Brightspirit. I hope Brightspirit will pass down all she knows on to you."

Brightspirit stepped forward.

"Brightspirit, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Crickethop, and you have shown yourself to be wise and determined. You will be the mentor of Honeypaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to her."

Eveningclan whooped and meowed. They chanted the names of the three kits.

"Smallpaw! Limpingpaw!-"

suddenly, Larkbeak joined in.

"-Honeypaw!"

Quickfoot and a few others shot dirty looks at Larkbeak. She pointed her nose up in the air and ignored them.

Honeypaw walked down towards her mother.

"See, mommy? I will beat those two demons! Those corrupted foul little monsters, those weak, miserable, ugly filth! Those dreadful-"

"I'm sorry you feel that way about your brothers, Honeypaw, but give them anther chance."

Brightspirit strode up to Larkbeak.

"Larkbeak, you shouldn't scare your daughter into hating your siblings!"

"Well, Brightspirit, I assure you I told her the truth. mind you business!"

Brightspirit stared at Larkbeak for a while. then she said,

"Come, Honeypaw, we are going to collect moss."

"but what about exploring the territories, or battle training, or we could stalk prey to-"

Honeypaw stopped, once she saw the vicious glare her mentor was giving her.

"or do that?" she said meekly.

Brightspirit walked to the forest, and Honeypaw follwed behind
