"I Lightningstar, leader of SeasonClan, ask our ancestors to look down at Stonepaw. He has trained well and hard to hunt and fight. Now grant me the power reveal the real Stonepaw. Grant me the power to name him!" Lightningstar's eyes flashed the color of ice, than the light green leaves, than the blinding yellow of the sun, and finally the dark red of the leaves now. Than she spoke one with StarClan. "Stonepaw, eldest son of Robinwing and Acornclaw, do you promise to remain loyal to our code?" "I do." Stonepaw said, Fawnlight could clearly see he could barley stand still. "Than we grant you your name. Stonepaw, forever your name will be Stonefall . Stay strong, hunt well, and fight brave." said StarClan and Lightningstar. The glow died down and Lightningstar said "Your night begins now. You will not stay alone though. You may pick your closest friend to keep you warm." Stonefall's eyes swooped across the cats of SeasonClan and WaterClan. "I choose Forestpaw." Forestpaw walked up and stood besides him. "See you tomorrow, Stonefall and Forestpaw." And with that, Fogstar went up besides Lightningstar, and together they led their clans back to their camps.


"Hey Fawnlight." Rootheart said, trying to keep up with her as she ran back to camp. " Do you" puff of air "want to go" puff of air "swimming in the" deep breath "lake with me?" Rootheart said, finally finishing his sentence. "Sure! I'll meet you there, you go tell Lightningstar, and I'll get going!" Fawnlight said, delighted that Rootheart wanted to spend time with her. He raced over to Lightningstar and after a few moments, she nodded. Fawnlight than raced towards the lake and sat there, waiting for Rootheart. "Save me" Fawnlight heard a voice "Save me before it's to late!" the voice said again. This time she saw a little kit that looked like it was dipped in stars. "Who are you, and are you from StarClan?" Fawnlight said, shivering "I am Moonstar, and I'm not sure, I never died, but I am trapped in my kit body, save me before it's to late!" And the kit disappeared as Rootheart tumbled through the reeds. "Fawnlight?!" Rootheart cried, just as she blacked out.

I wish I could get out of this den! Leafpaw thought, pawing through the leaves. Because she was training to be a med cat, she had to spend her time in the med cat den, learning herbs and sharing with StarClan. " Ok Leafpaw, that's enough for today, it's time to Shine!" her mentor, Willoweye. Leafpaw went over to the Shine and put her nose to it. She plunged into darkness and then it lightened. She looked for the source of the light and than saw it, a little kit in the dark, it's fur glowing with light. Than it said in a chorus of voices, 

Four will go west
To free the star
But they must beware
The Moons guard


The vision ended and she woke up. "Did you dream?" Willoweye said, looking at Leafpaw. "Yes, I did. A starry kit was in the middle of darkness and than it said Four will go west To free the star But they must beware The moons guard." Leafpaw replied, shivering. Than she heard Roothearts voice "HELP! FAWNLIGHT HAS PASSED OUT!"

Author's Note

Hmmm, I wonder what this kit is doing here?

Stonepaw was shocked at how fast his sister was. They should change her name to Runninglight! Watching her run, he realized how much he had underestimated her. "Hey Sunpaw, don't you think it's amazing how fast she is?" Stonepaw asked his brother. "Ya, I'm going to ask her to race Cheetaspots at the next Meet." Sunpaw replied as he cleaned out the elders den. "Cheetaspots?!" Stonepaw exclaimed "He's the fastest cat in all the clans, DarkClan included." "Well, maybe she has some power or something!" Sunpaw said laughing."I'm back!" cried Fawnlight, heading into camp. Stonepaw walked outside. "Fawnlight, where are you?" Stonepaw called out. The only cats in the clearing where Lightningstar, a gorgeous she-cat, and Greenwhisker. The she-cat laughed "Stonepaw, don't you recognize me? I'm Fawnlight!" Stonepaw just stared. "Stonepaw, just like the seasons, cats change." Lightningstar said, trying not to laugh.  Rootheart walked out of his den. He stopped suddenly and stared at Fawnlight. "Fawnlight?" he said. He tried talking a few more times, but his voice wouldn't work. She just smiled and walked towards him. "It's good to see you to, Rootheart."

Page 8

Fawnpaw felt mad. Just because she was an apprintess Lightningstar thought she was "to young" to sleep in a cave! "Hey, who did Root......... whats his name now?" asked a familiar voice. "Leafpaw! Where have you been, I haven't seen you for moons!" Fawnpaw said happily as she ran to her sister. "I've been at the Shine! It's so boring in there. Now what's Grumpypaw's name?" said Leafpaw Fawnpaw stiffened. "He's not grumpy! And his name is Rootheart." said she said. "Ok, ok, don't get your tail in a twist! I just wanted to know his name!" said Leafpaw, backing away. " WOOHOO!" said the toms, charging into camp. Honeypaw walked in quietly behind them. Since they had come, Forestpaw had become fast friends with her brothers. Honeypaw and her where nothing alike as it turned out. Fawnpaw wanted to just become a warrior. Honeypaw wanted to become leader and take over her old clan. Yep, nothing alike at all! She thought. Oh well, I'll make friend when I'm a warrior. " The kits are coming!!!" yowled Featherspot. Willoweye raced towards the nursery. "Go to your den!" said Goldensoot. Fawnpaw didn't have any second thoughts. She ran towards her den and crashed into her nest. I have a big day tomorrow, and I can't afford to loose a second of sleep.


"Ok, all you have to do is catch 5 pieces of prey each and first one back to camp get to have their warrior ceremony tonight, the second will have it tomorrow night, the third the night after tomorrow. And............... GO!" Greenwhisker yowled as the apprintess ran towards the forest. Fawnpaw thought to herself, Hmm... The Lake or River? I'll go to the River. And she changed course and ran for the River. It was farther away, but she was fast since her brothers had grown like crazy, yet she grew just enough that it wasn't hard at all to do training, but she was still small so she could run all day and barley brake a sweat. Before she knew it, she was at the River. She searched the water for fish. Great StarClan! She thought, because the biggest fish she had ever seen was right in front of her. She quickly got into postion and swipped the water. I GOT IT!!!!! The fish landed next to her, she bite it's throught, and it was all her's. She got the rest of her prey soon after that, and raced back to camp with her prey. Since she couldn't carry it all, she put the smaller fish in the huge fish, and carried it that way. "Fawnpaw?!" Greenwhisker looked up, shocked "How in StarClan did you catch that fish?" Stonepaw raced and dropped his 5 pieces of prey. Then looked at her fish. "You cought one piece of prey! I'll be a warrior tonight!" He said joyfully. "Wrong, Stonepaw," Fawnpaw said as she took the prey out of her prey "I'll be the warrior!" Greenwhisker looked at Fawnpaw proudly. "Of course! You caught a monster of a fish, figured out how to carry it all, and was the first one back! Where did you go anyway?" Greenwhisker said, clearly think she went to the Lake, with was very close to camp. "I went to the River." Fawnpaw said honestly. Stonepaw did a double take. "How, what, but? How did you go there, and get back first?!" "I ran." said Fawnpaw. Greenwhisker smiled "The clan will eat well tonight." said Lightningstar, walking up "Good job, Stonepaw!" "Oh, I wasn't Stonepaw." said Greenwhisker, proudly. "Fawnpaw? You did this?" Lightningstar said, amazed. "Yes, and ran to the River to do it, and got back first!" Fawnpaw said happily. Lightningstar smiled "Than as soon as Sunpaw get back, we'll have the ceremony! Robinwing!" Lightningstar called "Look what Fawnpaw caught!" Robinwing raced over "Fawnpaw, this fish is huge! And wich one of my kits will be a warrior?" "That would be Fawnpaw." Greenwhisker said. "What did I miss?" said a breathless Sun paw coming into camp. "Fawnpaw's the warrior!" called out Lightningstar "We go to the Moonstream, now!"


"I Lightningstar, leader of SeasonClan, ask our ancestors to look down at Fawnpaw. She has trained well and hard to hunt and fight. Now grant me the power reveal the real Fawnpaw. Grant me the power to name her!" Lightningstar's eyes flashed the color of ice, than the light green leaves, than the blinding yellow of the sun, and finally the dark red of the leaves now. Than she spoke one with StarClan. "Fawnpaw, only warrior daughter of Robinwing and Acornclaw, do you promise to remain loyal to our code?" "I do." Fawnpaw said, pacltecy bursting with joy "Than we grant you your name. Fawnpaw, forever your name will be Fawnlight. Stay strong, hunt well, and fight brave." said StarClan and Lightningstar. The glow died down and Lightningstar said "Your night begins now. You will not stay alone though. You may pick your closest friend to keep you warm." Fawnlight's eyes swooped across the cats of SeasonClan and WaterClan. "I choose Greenwhisker." Greenwhisker smiled as they touched noses. "See you tomorrow, Fawnlight and Greenwhisker."

Chapter 2

"I Lightningstar, leader of SeasonClan, ask our ancestors to look down at Rootpaw. He has trained well and hard to hunt and fight. Now grant me the power reveal the real Rootpaw. Grant me the power to name him!" Lightningstar's eyes flashed the color of ice, than the light green leaves, than the blinding yellow of the sun, and finally the dark red of the leaves now. Than she spoke one with StarClan. "Rootpaw, only surviving son of Brownstripe and Goldensoot, do you promise to remain loyal to our code?" "I do." Rootpaw said "Than we grant you your name. Rootpaw, forever your name will be Rootheart. Stay strong, hunt well, and fight brave." said StarClan and Lightningstar. The glow died down and Lightningstar said "Your night begins now. You will not stay alone though. You may pick your closest friend to keep you warm." Rootheart's eyes swooped across the cats of SeasonClan and WaterClan. Since WaterClan shared their territory, and since they were SeasonClan's best friends, they attended each other's ceremonies. "I choose........." Fawnpaw knew he had close friends in WaterClan, and picking Leafpaw would be smart but than he looked at her "Fawnpaw, I choose Fawnpaw." She felt a thrill run down her spine. "I'm sorry, Rootheart, but Fawnpaw needs to train if she is to be a warrior in 5 days." Lightninstar said, looking at Greenwhisker, who was nodding. He looked sad, and than said " Than I'll choose Tigerclaw." he said and Tigerclaw walked out of the crowd and touched noses with Rootheart, and together they walked towards the Moonstream.

"Defend your Clan, even with your life.

Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors will sleep at the Moonstream for one night after receiving their warrior name.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
A Meet is held every Half-Moon to show off their apprentices and discuss problems
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
Kits must stay in camp until they are apprenticed, and are not allowed to hunt.
The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one cat."
 Honeypaw finished the code went into the falls. Fawnpaw smiled. Finally, another she-cat to spend time with! Yes, Rootpaw was really sweet, not to mention handsome, but it's just not the same as having a having a heart-to-heart talk with someone. "Good job, Honeypaw!" said Robinwing, Honeypaw's mentor. Honeypaw smiled as she swam out of the water. "Next stop, the Moonstream." Robinwing said as she started walking towards the pool. "Forestpaw, your up!" said Whitestripe, his mentor. "Wait, Robinwing, can I watch my brother?" asked Honeypaw "Sure, than we must go to the stream." said Robinwing. Forestpaw stood shivering at the top of the falls and began the code. When he was done, he jumped into the falls and made a huge splash into the river. He began swimming around like a fish before he jumped out. Robingwing said "Ok, Fawnpaw and Rootpaw, go back to camp. Forestpaw and Honeypaw, come with me."

Page 5

Everyone stared at the strange cats with new interest. "How old are you?" Lightningstar asked. "We're both 6 moons old." Honey said. "Well, let me consult with my deputy." Lightningstar said. Honey looked hopefully at the clan. Fawnpaw's father walked over to the leader and sat down beside her. "Should we?" Lightningstar said in a whisper that Fawnpaw could barely hear even though she was so close to them. "Well, we do need more apprentices." Acornclaw said. "Ask them if they were ever in a clan, we can only have pure blood here." Acornclaw continued. That's reasonable thought Fawnpaw. The clan had nothing against loners, (since the twolegs had left long before Fawnpaw, or any cat in the clan was born) it was just loners had never understood clan life. Lightningstar had a few loners in the clan when she was a kit, but all of them either left or betrayed the clan. "Ok," Lightningstar said "I'll ask them." "Have you been in a clan before?" Lightningstar said. "Yes, we were in ClearClan. We left because Darkstar took over and killed everyone who denied him, including our parents. Our mother got us out heartbeats before she got killed by Rockpaw, Darkstars old apprintess. Rockpaw was our friend when we where kits, but Darkstar corrupted him. His name now is Rockblood." said Honey. Lightningstars eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't another clan help you? WaterClan would always help us when we need it." Acornclaw said, astounded. "No, ThornClan just sat bye and their leader, Floodstar, even gave his clan to Darkstar! And FernClan got destroyed." Honey said. Lightningstar said "Wow, than of coarse you can come into our clan! We'll have your apprintess ceremony tomarrow. Welcome to SeasonClan, Honeypaw and Forestpaw."

Page 4

"That was so fun, wasn't it?" said Fawnpaw "Ya, but why did it have to start "raining"?!" Stonepaw said, looking at his dripping wet fur, than at his siblings dry fur. Everyone laughed at that.
"Hey, I'll go get some prey, you want anything guys?" Fawnpaw said. "Sure, I'll have that fish you caught." Rootpaw said, blushing "Ok Rootpaw, just save me some, I want my first catch too!" Fawnpaw said, laughing as she walked over to get it. "Everyone! Look what I found!" Finchnose said, bursting into camp. "What is it Finchnose?" Lightningstar said, annoying at the interruption. "Well, I'll show you. Come on in you guys!" Finchnose called out. The rocks shifted and two tired, hungry looking cats about Fawnpaw's age walked into camp. The yellowish cat stepped forwards and said "Hi, I'm Honeyki... I mean Honey and this is my brother, Forest. We want to join your clan."

Page 3

"Wow!" Fawnpaw said in amazement. She couldn't believe how pretty it all was. "Yes, it is pretty here, now take a sip of the stream and your done!" Greenwhisker said. Fawnpaw walked forwards and took a sip out of the stream. She saw a sudden seen flash before her, her as a warrior, then with a cat she knew instinctively was  her mate, than as a mentor with her apprintess , than her as a queen, than her and her mate watching their kits play. Than the vision ended. She thought about how it didn't show her last hour. "Done!" Fawnpaw said. "I'll wait for my brothers again."

"AHH!" Stonepaw screamed as Sunpaw and Fawnpaw dumped him in the river. They laughed so hard they fell down. All day they had been doing battle training, and now they where learning how to hunt. "What in StarClan do you think your doing?!" Tuftear came up behind them as they were rolling on the ground. They had been apprintesses for a few days  now, and they all loved every second of it. Rootpaw and Fawnpaw were becoming very close friends now, and her brothers weren't as annoying as usual. In other words, she was having the perfect apprinteship, so far. Stonepaw got out of the water, trying really hard to look annoyed, but then broke out laughing. "Thanks guys! I was getting to hot!" Stonepaw said. Tuftear cracked a smile "I'm glad you all had fun, but lets get hunting."

"Foxdung, I'll never catch a fish!" Fawnpaw said, discouraged. Her brothers had all gotten their first prey, it seemed like she'd never get it! She sighed and scanned the water. As the minutes passed, she got more and more worried. It was almost time to head back to camp. "Fish!" Fawnpaw called out quietly as she positioned herself to strike. She darted her paw into the water and slapped it out. She quickly nipped at it neck and killed it. "My first catch!" Fawnpaw said happily. "Good job Fawnpaw!" Greenwhisker said. She had come a few minutes earlier to watch them hunt. "You caught that just in time to, it's time to head back to camp." Panthertail said. They all left the river with their prey, proud, wet, and happy.

Page 2

Fawnkit barely believe it, she and her brothers and sister would become apprentices, today! Lightningstar had surprised their mother with the fact a few heartbeats before. Now, she and her siblings where bouncing around. "My kits, stop bouncing! Save your energy for the tour of the territory." Robinwing said as she gathered them all up. They all stopped immediately. "I wonder who my mentor will be!" Stonekit said "Me to, wonder I mean." Sunkit said. "I hope I get Willowspot!" Leafkit said. "But Willowspot's the med cat!" Stonekit said, alarmed. "Stonekit! Leafkit can be what ever she wants!" Fawnkit said "I just hope I get Greenwisker, she's a really good warrior and she's also really nice."  "Time to go!" Sunkit said "Oh, my little kits, let me get you clean, your all messes!" Robinwing said in half amusement, half sadness, and half alarm. They all wiggled under her tongue. "All cats old enough to walk under the Ice Fall gather beneath the Main Boulder for a clan meeting" Lightningstar yowled. "It's time!" Fawnkit yowled with glee. The kits all ran and sat below the Main Boulder, the largest boulder in camp. They watched in excitement as the rest of the clan gathered. Their father, Acornclaw sat next to the boulder in the deputy's place. "We are gathered today for the naming of these 4 young cats. Fawnkit, do you promise to obey your mentor and the warrior code?" "I do" Fawnkit answered "Then from this day on until you get your warrior name, your name is Fawnpaw, mentor: Greenwisker." Fawnpaw walked over to Greenwisker and then they both walked away to go to the Ice Fall. Fawnpaw wasn't aloud to speak until she recited the warrior code and jumped into the Ice Fall to test her will. She was in awe when she saw the Ice Falls. And then she started the code:

"Defend your Clan, even with your life.

Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
Newly appointed warriors will sleep at the Moonstream for one night after receiving their warrior name.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
A Meet is held every Half-Moon to show off their apprentices and discuss problems
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
Kits must not hunt.
The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one cat.And then she plunged into the falls.

"Good job Fawnpaw!" Greenwisker said as she swam out of the falls. "And now there's one more thing to do, drink from the Moonstream." As they left, Fawnpaw saw her brothers reciting the code. "Hey, Greenwisker, can I wait for my brothers? I want to know where Leafpaw is." Fawnpaw asked. "Sure, but I have to wait to." Greenwisker said. A few heartbeats later they got out of the falls. As their mentors, Tuftear and Panthertail, congratulated them, Fawnpaw walked over. "Hey Stonepaw, Sunpaw, do you know where Leafpaw is?" Fawnpaw asked. "Ya," Sunpaw said "She's a med cat, she's at the Shine." "Thanks." Fawnpaw said. And then she went with her mentor to the Moonstream.

Book One

Fawnkit slid underneath her brother, Stonekit. " Hey!" he squeaked. "You cheated!" "Nope, I just out smarted you!" She said, dancing around "I'll be the best warrior ever!". "You might if they don't count you out for being so small!" Stonekit replied, snorting. Sunkit (Fawnkit and Stonekits brother) laughed, rolling on the floor "Good one, Stonekit!". "Toms." Leafkit ( Fawnkit, Stonekit, and Sunkits sister) and Fawnkit said, rolling their eyes. "Kits!" their mother, Robinwing, called for them. "Lets go slowpokes!" Leafkit yelled, already almost to their den. The rest of the kits fallowed, stumbling over the many boulders that formed the dens in their camp. Robinwing rounded up all her kits and led them to their den. "Come, my kits,"Robinwing said "Let's get you to your nests." "But were not tired yet!" they all chorused. "SHHHH!" Rootpaw said. "Everyone is trying to sleep!". Great StarClan! Fawnkit thought, I always forget were right next to the apprintess den! I also keep forgetting we'll be so soon.
