"Brightpaw! Lightningpaw! Bouncepaw!" The first cats to cheer their names were, of course their mother and father. Moons had passed and Brightpaw was given Smokeclaw, Lightningpaw was given Lilyfoot, and Bouncepaw was given Strikefur. Icestorm and Froststep have died and Flamewhisker was deputy. Birdsong, Redwillow, Snaketail, and Beetail had retired to the elders' den for moons of peace and Ashcloud and Lionflash got their warrior names along with Sparktail getting her medicine cat name. Flamewhisker had wished his mother and father were alive to see his kits at least become apprentices. Everything had changed so fast he could even remember getting his warrior name like it was yesterday. "Mintnose, why don't you return to your warrior duties?" Flamewhisker asked Mintnose. "I like being in the nursery, seeing the kits become apprentices. I don't want to be a warrior again. I hate seeing cats getting killed." She admitted. "I think you're strong enough to be a warrior for both of us." She put her muzzle in his orange pelt. "I understand. I have to go organize a hunting patrol, would like it to be your last one?" "I'm fine. Bring me back a squirrel!" She meowed as he started the patrol. He chose Moonstorm, Sunnynose, Spiderbark, Pineflame, Firedash, Lionflash, Ashcloud, and Dawnfire. Be the warrior for both of us. Mintnose's words rang in his ear. I really don't want to be the warrior for both of us. I just want her to be by my side for the rest of my life.
