"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock." Featherstar's yowl sounded throughout the camp and into the woods.

Apprentices and warriors alike trotted eagerly to their leader to hear what she had to say.

"Maplepaw. Please come forward." The black and white she-cat's green eyes flashed with unmistakable pride.

"I, Featherstar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend  her to you as a warrior in her turn. Maplepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." Maplepaw promised whole-heartedly.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Maplepaw, from this moment you will be known as Maplegaze. StarClan honors your quick thinking and determined spirit, and we welcome you as a full member of ThunderClan."

Featherstar rested her head on Maplegaze's head, and Maplegaze in turn licked her shoulder.

"May you serve our Clan well." Featherstar's eyes gleamed with happiness.

"Maplegaze! Maplegaze!" Her Clan shouted. Maplegaze spotted Whorleyes yowling his loudest with the rest of ThunderClan. She would look forward to her vigil tonight. At least she wouldn't have to face the onimous dream from StarClan that something in her future was about to change the fate of the Clans.
