**Lightningstar pads out of his den, his gaze resting upon his apprentice, Sparkpaw. She was ready...to become a warrior! The ThunderClan leader's twitches with happiness and his head and tail are held high with his pride. The young she-cat had learned very quickly, and he was proud to have her as one of his warriors. He leaps up onto the Highrock where he sits with his tail curled around himself. He looks down at the cats in the clearing that were watching him curiously before yowling out the familiar words to summon the Clan.** Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highrock for a Clan meeting. **The young black and white tom paused for a moment while the cats of ThunderClan sat down before the Highrock. Then he went on.** There is good news. My apprentice, Sparkpaw, is ready to become a warrior. **Lightningstar blinked warmly at her before continuing.** I Lightningstar, 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. Sparkpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life? **The leader turned to Sparkpaw waiting for her reply.** Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Sparkpaw, from this moment you will be known as Sparkfur. StarClan honors your determination and your spirit, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan. **Lightningstar rests his muzzle on the apprentice's head and murmurs,** Congratulations, Sparkfur. I'm proud of you. **Lightningstar smiled then backed away from the new warrior.**
