## Ceremonies

### Warrior/Ing

"Let all cats old enough to exit the nursery gather here for a clan meeting." Called Sparkstar. "First of all, I shall welcome three new warriors. Maplepaw, Thornpaw, and Tigerpaw, do you promise to uphold the MeadowClan code, even at the cost of your life?" Maplepaw, Thornpaw, and Tigerpaw all said, "I do." Sparkstar nodded. "Then, by the power of StarClan, I give you your warrior names: Mapleleaf, Thornpool, and Tigerstorm-Broken Destiny"Tigerstorm!" He meowed. "Let me rejoin you, please." He begged. "You never really left... Did you?" Gemstar asked. "Well... The lost Clanmates are in FireClan, they were led by Firestar, but now me, Tigerstar... Thornpool? He's our medicine cat. And Mapleleaf..." Tigerstar's voice trailed off, but he began again. "We think Firestar killed her. We haven't seen her for moons." Nightfur, who was listening, heard the news about Mapleleaf and went to bear the pain alone. What they didn't know was Mapleleaf was alive and well. Brownwing and Angelivy went to Tigerstar. "Honeystar's dead... Is Fireclaw, or Firestar I guess, dead too?" Tigerstar just nodded. "What about Pinestone, Dangerreed, and Skyfrost? They are also my kits." She meowed. Tigerstar touched his muzzle to her ear. "They are okay. Your second litter is okay." He paused. "I never got nine lives. I could rejoin all of you. If it's okay," He added. Murmurs spread throughout the camp. Gemstar nodded. "Would you like to be Tigerstorm, or have a completely different name?" He asked. "A new one. I need a new life with my kits. They need me, for their mother and my mate died." He meowed. "Let all cats old enough to exit the nursery gather here for a clan meeting!" Cats poured out to sit amongst themselves. "Tigerstar, I give you the name Leopardcloud. StarClan honors your bravery and patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of MeadowClan." "LEOPARDCLOUD!"-Sunlight

## Extra Story

"Hey, Tigerstorm." Meowed a voice. "F-Fireclaw?" I began. "H-Have you seen Stripekit and Jaykit?" I asked. "They are safe in FireClan. Join me," He added. "or feel the fire of Firestar!" He demanded. He narrowed his eyes. "Your littermates are safe and sound in FireClan. My little brothers and my kits." He wrinkled his nose. "That just leaves my mother, my father, and... and *Honeystar*." He spat Honeystar like it tasted bad. "Are you hesitating?" Firestar tested. "But-But Honeystar is a quarter moon pregnant! I couldn't leave her, and our kits." I protested. "I'm gathering my kin, and you are my sister's mate. Just join." He stuck out his claws. "Look at the blood and give it a sniff, Tigerstorm. Do you know who's blood that is?" He asked. "Nightfur!" I gasped. "That's right. She refused, and told me she'd tell Honeystar. I shut her up. No one will ever know. There'll always be the five clans, and in the corner of the forest there'll be one clan, like a lonely, yet strong flame, just burning..." I walked to him. "Who are you, monster?" He asked. "Are you just a second Slenderstar?" I challenged. His eyes clouded with an expression he couldn't pinpoint. "Of course not, naive young Tigerstorm." Firestar meowed. "It's just..."

I didn't ever finish my sentence...
