“These are difficult times for our Clan. The season of Newleaf is late, and there have been fewer kits. Thunderclan needs more warriors if it is to survive.”

“Are you afraid of WindClan? Or are you so used to cringing before StarClan that you won’t defy them and fight for the rights of your Clan? You disappoint me, you, out of all my warriors. How can I believe you will fight with all your strength when you question my order like this? You leave me no choice, Fireheart. I will lead this attack myself.”

“Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the highrock for a Clan meeting! I, Bluestar, Leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn.”
