Chapter 1 ~
Bravekit padded out of the nursery, followed by Tanglekit. They tiptoed quietly past Furzeleaf and her kits, Mudkit, Lionkit and Lilykit. Rainclaw was still asleep in her nest, with Stormkit and Vinekit. Ivyspring, Rainclaw's sister, spotted them and beckoned them with her tail. Bravekit noticed a long scar across her back. "Mintheart and Goldenstar think that you should become apprentices today." she purred. "Will you tell your Stormkit and Vinekit?" she added. "Okay, Ivyspring!" mewed Tanglekit. She ran back into the nursery. Hailfoot padded up to Ivyspring. "Goldenstar didn't tell me that..." he was meowing. Bravekit saw a blue-grey tomcat with odd eyes padding across the clearing. It looked like Ashstone. Bravekit ran over to him. "Are you Ashstone, the one who fought that huge badger?" he asked. "Yes, I am." answered the tom.
Bravekit and his littermates sat in the clearing, around the Highbranch. Goldenstar balanced on the end of the long, thin branch, her golden pelt bright against the bark. She started to speak; "Bravekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Bravepaw. Your mentor will be Hailfoot. I hope Hailfoot will pass down all he knows on to you." She paused, looking down at Hailfoot. "Hailfoot, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Flywind, and you have shown yourself to be brave and loyal. You will be the mentor of Bravepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to him." she finished, her eyes glowing. She apprenticed Tanglepaw to Ivyspring, Vinepaw to Mintheart, and Stormpaw to Rainclaw.
"Bravepaw! Bravepaw! Tanglepaw! Tanglepaw! Vinepaw! Vinepaw! Stormpaw! Stormpaw!" the cats yowled. Bravepaw and his littermates ran off to get some fresh-kill. They were finally apprentices!
