Epilogue

     "Wow, Ivymist!  You were leader of StormClan!" Cloudkit gasped.  Berrykit's eyes widened.  Ivymist smiled weakly.
"That's right," she said.
"I can't believe you gave up being a leader for a different clan!" Berrykit exclaimed.  Ivymist shrugged.
"Sometimes being leader isn't the most important thing in the world.  There are greater forces," Ivymist said.
Cloudkit and Berrykit exchanged a glance.
"I would've stayed leader," Cloudkit said.
"Same," Berrykit replied.  Ivymist smiled.  One day they might understand, she thought.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high rock for a clan meeting!" Froststar yowled.  Berrykit and Cloudkit looked at each other.  There wasn't a doubt about what they were thinking.
"Our ceremony!" They screeched together as they raced into the clearing.
     "Cloudkit and Berrykit, please step forward," Froststar said.  Cloudkit and Berrykit scrambled up beside Froststar.
"Do you promise to obey your clan and to follow the warrior code as long as you live, even at the cost of your life?" Froststar asked them.
"I promise!" They shouted together.
"Than by the power of StarClan, I give you your apprentice names until you become warriors.  Cloudkit, you shall be Cloudpaw.  Your mentor shall me Shadefeather," Froststar said.  Cloudpaw sent a triumphant glance at Berrykit, who glared at her brother.
"And Berrykit, you shall be Berrypaw.  And I'm on one of my last lives, and I would like to fit in one more apprentice.  I shall be your mentor," Froststar finished.  Berrypaw gasped.  Even Cloudpaw looked shocked.
      "StarClan honors your bravery and courage," Froststar said.
Berrypaw had never felt better, maybe Cloudpaw had gotten Shadefeather, but Berrykit and gotten Froststar as her mentor, the Froststar, the cat that had been given the gift of reading thoughts besides the fact that he was deaf, the cat who's sister has died, the sister named Rosekit, and the mother that had been Snowfur, the father Sharpfang.  Sharpfang, Flamestar's best friend.
"Cloudpaw!  Berrypaw!" The clan cheered.  The kits raised their heads high.  And the loudest voice of all, a voice that not even Petalblossom could eclipse, the voice of Petalblossom's mother, the kit's grandmother, Ivymist.

 The End.
