"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.
