#### Chapter 6

It is the night of a gathering. Iceslide sees Whiskerface, Birdsong, Broadwing, and Snowpaw and pads over, purring a greeting.

Broadwing dips his head to Iceslide, who notices Snowpaw and asks who it is. Broadwing introduces him as his new apprentice. Iceslide comments that he looks like he's going to be just as strong as his mentor. Snowpaw thanks him and says he hopes so.

When Iceslide sees Firetail and Soakedears, he tells the ThunderClan cats it was nice seeing them and to take care.

#### Chapter 17

At the gathering, Iceslide looks around and sees Broadwing and Birdsong. He weaves through the crowd of cats toward them and purrs a greeting.

After Iceslide greets Birdsong and asks how the prey is running in ThunderClan, Broadwing responds for her, saying it's running well and they'd better make the most of it before leaf-bare arrives. He looks down and shakes snow from his paw, commenting it won't be long now.

When Iceslide is taken back by how big Snowpaw has gotten, the apprentice says he's been training hard. Broadwing looks at his apprentice proudly and says that's right, and he'll be completing his assessment soon.

When Birchstar calls for the gathering to begin, Iceslide dips his head to the ThunderClan cats and goes to join his own clan.
