Book 10 - Chapter 27

"Fishclan," called Berrystar. "We have an announcement to make, we have had the request to make a warrior today. I agree with the to parents of the this cat. Appledawn and Birchtail have requested that we make Fishpaw a warrior and we agree that it is indeed time for make Fishpaw a warrior. She has definitely proven that she is loyal to our clan and that she is worthy of her warrior name. Fishpaw do you promise to always be loyal to our clan and serve your clan even at the cost of your life?" Fishpaw looked around at the assembled c lan before speaking loudly and clearly to the leaders, "I promise  to always serve my clan and my clan only. I do promise and you can count on me to serve you Fishclan," said Fishpaw. Berrystar looked down at the apprentice proudly, "Then by the power and authority that has given to me by our ancestors as the clan leader of Fishclan I give Fishpaw her warrior name.   Fishpaw from this time on you will be known as Fishfur a loyal and dedicated warrior of Fishclan. We will honor you as a member of Fishclan." Appledawn and Birchtail were beaming with pride as their oldest daughter was now a warrior of the clan that they served with their life, however the other kittens were not happy. "Why should they request to have Fishpaw no excuse me Fishfur become a warrior but not the rest of her kittens. We work just as hard as she did if not more, there is nothing special about Fishfur." they whispered. Appledawn turned and cuffed each of the apprentices over the head with a paw and said, "Don't speak like that, you shouldn't be speaking badly about your clan mates, nonetheless your own sister." While the apprentices still didn't say anything Birchtail spoke, "Don't me tell Mossfur what you were saying, for she would have something to say you can be sure of that. You don't want to be spending the next 5 moons helping other cats instead of training, or else then you will never become a warrior." He threatened then all the apprentices nodded glumly and padded away.
