ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤChapter 5: The Spirit of a Warrior!
ㅤ
Firepaw takes a deep breath, getting ready for the upcoming battle with Shadowclan and the tyrant leader, Brokenstar. He is feared by most, because he is a strong and capable leader, possibly better than most...
Because of his vicious and terrible acts of violence.
"Alright, so, the plan is to mainly steal back the kits. Got it?" Whitestorm says, as the warriors prepare for the battle. They all nod, some excited about the prospect of fighting, especially Firepaw and Graypaw.
It's gonna be her first real battle, and she is born ready, even if she doesn't know it.
Whitestorm and the warriors tells us the details: fighting, stealing back the kits, driving out Brokenstar and going back to camp safely.
They get in groups and separate, ready to jump in...
ㅤ
"On my signal..." Whitestorm says.
"Okay, ready, GO WARRIORS!"
ㅤ
They all respond to his words, and they all rush in simultaneously, and Firepaw finds herself jumping in with at least 14 warriors, her heart racing! Some Shadowclan warriors turn to find them all rushing in with strong fangs and claws!
Time seems to slow down as the big patrol rush in with some battle looks, and revenge for getting their queen Frostfurs kits stolen from terrible, rough warriors.
Their expressions are clueless, and shocked. Clearly not ready for a planned ambush!
"Invaders! Watch out!" One of them says, as they get pinned down by some warriors. They start to retaliate and fight back, ready to defend their vicious territory.
The groups that were formed by Whitestorm had been doing well, each having at least 8 warriors. 2 groups are here to rescue the kits, and Firepaw is in one of them. Firepaw and Graypaw start to scrap with some Shadowclan warriors.
Firepaw looks around, finding lots of cats fighting and hissing all at once.
Is this really what a real battle looks like..? My stars, it feels exciting..!
"You stinkin' apprentices can't just invade our camp, yah know!" One of them says, getting slammed into by Whitestorm. "Oh, but we can, Clawface!" Whitestorm says, as the great warrior yowls once he gets bitten.
Firepaw goes for Clawface's legs, biting hard as she could. Clawface winced and hissed, trying to pry Firepaw's jaws from his leg. Clawface was gonna die, but Firepaw didn't care, not for this moment!
Firepaw and Whitestorm struggle, as they latch onto Clawface, ready to give a killing blow.
Firepaw and Whitestorm finish off Clawface, silently nodding as Whitestorm points at the nursery for Firepaw. Whitestorm silently honors Clawfaces death, even though he did bad deeds, and actions for his tyranny leader.
Though, Firepaw quickly takes notice, and quickly rushes off to the Shadowclan nursery. Some allies are fighting the Shadowclan queens for Frostfur's kits, and the den is full of tension and hints of blood.
"What do you want with our kits?!" One of the Shadowclan queens say, backing off. "Were here to bring back our kits, Shadowclan cat!" Mousefur says, as Graypaw rushes in.
"Hey Graypaw, about time you came in and helped." Runningwind says, annoyed from his late arrival.
Graypaw nervously chuckles, looking around the den as he replies, "Yeah, I forgot about the pairings or whatever.."
Firepaw and some warriors roll their eyes, some amused, some not.
The queens slightly calm down, though still seeming defensive. "Alright, your not getting the kits, but you can take a look." The queen says, revealing the kits of a particular queen...
Some of their eyes widen, and they bristle all over again, softly growling at the queens. They are quite surprised to see the familiar kits, though, their taken care of.
"Those are Frostfurs kits!" Mousefur and Graypaw says. "Frostfurs? We thought these little kits were... dumped." They say, revealing them more, showing their features. "I'm sure they weren't dumped, and let us take a closer look. Were not gonna snatch them from you, yet..."
They come closer, taking a look. They mewl and come closer, curious about their real clanmates.
"Yep, those are Frostfurs kits." Firepaw says, as Graypaw speaks up, "Look, we need you to give them back, their ours. Or else, were gonna need to take them with force."
They sigh, pushing the kits to them safely. "Take them, before our clanmates find out." They say, with a hint of somber.
They all agree, quickly scooping them up and rushing out. "Thanks for your help, we won't forget this!" Mousefur and Runningwind say, with each kit in their jaws, lightly biting down on their scruff as they all pad off carefully.
The queens settle off as well, looking slightly somber about the kits. Firepaw feels pity, but she knows its Thunderclans kits, Frostfurs precious kits.
They all quickly rush to the other groups, and announce they got the kits. Brokenstar soon speaks up, letting out a speech of... brutal truth.
Brokenstar explains he was the one who killed the kits, and how he was the one who killed his own leader, Raggedstar. They are all shocked, and Brokenstar is kicked out. Along with his followers of course, they follow him out of the camp, some cats are growling at the retreating cats.
They all promise to let Shadowclan settle and find a new leader. The Shadowclan patrol that helped settles back into their camp, tired from the battle.
And so, they all move out of Shadowclan territory, holding Frostfurs kits. They go through the thunderpath carefully, watching for any twoleg monsters, before padding into Thunderclan territory.
They manage to get back safely, without any casualties, though maybe some scratches.
They all quickly settle, as Graypaw and Firepaw are ordered to bring Frostfurs kits back to the nursery, where she is silently praying. "Firepaw and Graypaw, get... Wait," Frostfur says, "Are those my kits..?" She says, coming closer.
They confirm it by hearing the familiar mewling of her precious kits. "Yes, their your kits, their truly alive and healthy." Firepaw says, putting them down safely and carefully. Frostfur sighs of relief and curls up around them.
Frostfur looks up at the 2 of the apprentices. "Thank you both, I appreciate your kindness and help... I just.. It's good to see my kits again." Frostfur says, before looking down at her precious kits.
"Your welcome, Frostfur. We wouldn't have been able to fetch them if it weren't for the patrols that came by." Graypaw says. Firepaw nods in agreement, before being called out by Tigerclaw.
ㅤ
Dustpaw and Sandpaw eavesdrop and watch the two, envious of their progress, wishing they had came too.
"You 2 apprentices are needed outside, follow me." Tigerclaw announces to the both of them, as Firepaw and Graypaw are slightly nervous. Though, they gladly follow Tigerclaw to the clearing. Some clanmates are giving them looks, looks that mean something they don't know about...
This must be some kind of clan meeting, but for what?
"They must be clueless..." Dustpaw says, sighing. Sandpaw slowly nods, slightly snickering at their stupidity.
Graypaw is slightly worried, while Firepaw is quite curious, so she tilts her head a bit. "We didn't do anything wrong, right?" Graypaw quietly says, looking at Bluestar on the highrock.
"I don't think so, maybe..." Firepaw cuts off, still looking at the Thunderclan leader.
Bluestar signals them to come up, and they nervously climb up. Firepaw intently listens on what she's gonna say. "These 2 apprentices deserve their warrior names!" Bluestar announces at the clan and the upcoming night above.
Graypaw is about to burst with excitement, and Firepaw is curious.
"I, Bluestar, leader of thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn."
"Firepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Bluestar announces, looking down at Firepaw.
"I do." Firepaw replies, surprised and excited from the traditional confession.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Firepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Fireheart. StarClan honors your bravery and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan."
Bluestar touches noses with Firepaw- no, Fireheart, and gets her true warrior name!
Bluestar does the same ritual for Graypaw, and his new warrior name is Graystripe! The clan chants their newly made warrior names.
"Fireheart! Graystripe!"
"Graystripe! Fireheart!"
They both stand up proud, looking down at the familiar clanmates.
I'm really a warrior now, I can't believe it..!
"This is so awesome Fireheart!" Graystripe touches noses with Fireheart, and they beam with pride. "Were warriors now!" Graystripe says, before the clan slowly dies down after that chanting, and they both get down and touch noses with other friends.
Fireheart is officially a warrior, after 4 or 6 moons of training, and going into a fierce battle to take back those little kits
ㅤ
Timeskip - A few days after that warrior ceremony.
ㅤ
After that ceremony, Fireheart had told Bluestar about... Tigerclaw's ambitions, even though there wasn't good enough evidence. Bluestar told her to shush and stay on her vigil for the night, since she's basically a fully fledged warrior.
So, graystripe and her stay on their vigils, yawning in boredom and sleepiness. "I've never been on a vigil, and this is so boring!" graystripe meows, sounding bored and slightly exasperated.
Fireheart nods, stretching. They lay down, watching the moon pass. It's barely killing their boredom, so they decide to grab some prey. Fireheart picks a juicy vole, and Graystripe grabs a squirrel.
"You like squirrel? It always gets in between my teeth." Fireheart says, poking at his squirrel he picked out. "Oh be quiet, furball. It must be classic, right?" Graystripe says, chuckling a bit.
Fireheart rolls her eyes at his choice, so she just bites down into her vole she picked out. They both eat silently, slowly eating. They finish eating, wiping their lips clean. "That tasted better than usual. Midnight snack, I guess." Fireheart says, laying down in the clearing with Graystripe.
"Yeah, probably. It's probably because were so bored it just tasted that good." Graystripe imagined him touching a star with his paw. "Really? Your such a goof ball sometimes." Fireheart says, looking at Graystripe. They both have an affectionate glint in their eyes.
Graystripe yawns, sitting up. "I guess we gotta wait for a long time, yeah?" Graystripe says, looking at Fireheart.
Fireheart nods in agreement. Looking up at silver-pelt, also known as stars.
Their great friends, ever since they met that day, when Fireheart was just Rosy, a curious she-cat kittypet with an adventurous feeling in her heart.
...Tigerclaw had heard about Fireheart talking about his ambitions, and she had just created...
ㅤ
An evil and powerful enemy, she will eventually face in the future.
ㅤ
Shorter than usual, but will do?
So, after this, its officially in "Fire and Ice" book now!
though, chapters might take longer than usual, and I'm sorry, but I promise chapters will be finished, and maybe a little longer with some romance, like I promised. And maybe drama.
Yeah, you heard that right.
