Moons later, Dawnkit and Turtlekit are named Dawnpaw and Turtlepaw and apprenticed to Sunstream and Rainears. Echoheart leads an attack on SunClan which results in the death of her mentor, Sunstream. Dawnpaw is then given Thornpelt as a new mentor. A queen named Dovetail later gives birth and Dawnpaw attempts to help, however, Dovetail dies along with two of her kits, leaving only Cloudkit. Dawnpaw has another panic attack at Dovetail's death. A few moons later, a badger appears on SunClan territory. Dawnpaw, along with Turtlepaw, her parents and Lionclaw go to attack the badger, only for both Windflight and Blazeheart to die. However, Dawnpaw is made a warrior and named Dawnfire.
