PROLOGUE
"Flamepaw, from this day forth you will be known as Flamepelt!". Flamestar recalled the words Shadowstar had spoken long before, declaring him a loyal warrior to MoonClan. "But MoonClan is gone now....." he said to no one in particular. MoonClan and SunClan had united under Flamestar's-then Flamepelt's-rule. Hence becoming FireClan. Now Flamestar wondered if it had been the right thing to do.

Ravenpaw bounced up and down at her mentor- Snowstorm's-paws. "Aww....come on Snowstorm can you pleeeaaaassseee ask Nightpelt if Birchpaw can train with us. Please!!!". Snowstorm sighed. "I guess it's okay if Nightpelt says so."

"Thanks so much Snowstorm, I'll go ask Nightpelt right now!" Ravenpaw raced off to the other side of camp where Nightpelt was talking to her father, Shadowclaw, the former leader of MoonClan.
Nightpelt noticed her approach and stood up. "Let me guess.....you want to train with Birchpaw?".Ravenpaw nodded breathlessly. "Okay, I'll go find her." he said starting off twards the apprentice den. "We'll meet you in the training hollow!" he called over his shoulder, as she bolted back to her mentor.

"He said it was okay" , Ravenpaw said. "Then let's go." Answered Snowstorm, leading the way out of camp. Ravenpaw bounded after him ready to prove that she was ready to be a warrior. "Snowstorm?" Ravenpaw asked as they neared the training hollow. "Yes." he answered calmly,never turning his eyes in her direction. "Well.....I was just wondering why Flamestar hasn't made me a warrior yet." she said. "Because it is not your time." he put simply. "Flamestar may be young but he is not stupid... He will tell you when it is your time". "Oh...." Ravenpaw felt put out. "Okay then...I guess I understand..."

Ravenpaw curled up in her nest next to her brother Shadowpaw. He murmered something she couldn't hear as she dozed off. Ravenpaw had trained her hardist today hoping to impress Snowstorm. She smiled.She had seen her mentor talking to Flamestar when they had gotten back from training. 'Another good report.' she thought, before sleep took over.

Ravenpaw couldn't belive it. Today was the day of her naming ceremony! Her brother Shadowpaw had his ceremony only half a moon before. Now he is called Shadoweclipse. "Ravenpaw! The ceremony is about to begin!" Birchpaw called from outside the apprentice den. Ravenpaw rushed out to see that most of the clan was already gathered below Sunrock, where Flamestar was standing. "All cats able to catch there own prey gather here below Sunrock for a clan meeting." Flamestar's voice echoed through the camp and all cats that had not been there before appeared below Sunrock.

Ravenpaw took her place in the crowd next to Willoweyes, a young she-cat warrior, and Birchpaw. Flamestar seeming satisfied with the number of cats gathered began his speech. "I, Flamestar, leader of FireClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon 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." he looked down at Ravenpaw and asked "Ravenpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your life?". Ravenpaw's chest swelled with joy as she replied shakily "I do.". Flamestar nodded "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name: Ravenpaw, from this moment you will be known as Ravenwing. StarClan honors your strength and loyalty,and we welcome you as a full warrior of FireClan.". Flamestar jumped down from Sunrock and touched his muzzle to Ravenwing's bowed head, she gave his shoulder a respectful lick before going to sit with the other warriors as they cheered her new name. "Ravenwing, Ravenwing, Ravenwing."

Ravenwing shifted uncomfortably in her nest. Last night she had sat vigil, and today her best friends Birchpaw and Jasminepaw had become warriors. They were now Birchtail and Jasmineheart. Ravenwing could see them standing next to the camp enterence in the light of the setting sun. This was her first night in the warriors den and she shifted again, trying to find a comfortable position in her mossy nest. Shadoweclipse walked into the warrior den followed by Willoweyes and Swiftfur the other young warriors. He laid next to her and whispered into her ear, "Sleep well my sister.". Ravenwing licked his shoulder "Don't worry I will."

"Ravenwing wake up! It's important!". Tigerpaw the medicine cat apprentice was prodding her in the side with an outstreched paw. "Orangeleaf needs to talk to you.". "Wha.....huh..." Ravenwing blinked. "Oh... Tigerpaw it's you. When did you get back?". (Tigerpaw and Orangeleaf- the medicine cat- had left for Icestone-like moonstone- early the day before, because it was half moon.) "We just got back. Orangeleaf needs to speak with you. Quickly!", Tigerpaw urged leading Ravenwing out of the warriors den and across the clearing twards the leaders den where Flamestar and Orangeleaf were sitting.

"What is it?", asked Ravenwing, confused. Flamestar looked over at Orangeleaf. "I think you should tell her." he said. Orangeleaf nodded. "Ravenwing, I'm afraid you will have to leave the clan..."

"WHAT!" she growled. "What have I done!". Ravenwing had a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. "You have done nothing...." Orangeleaf replied calmly, curling her tail around her paws. "Yes.... as Orangeleaf said you have done nothing to deserve punishment. It's just that StarClan has an important message for you.... please explain what they told you Orangeleaf." Flamestar said turning twards the old medicine cat. "I think you should be the one to explain the prophecy Flamestar." she replied, "You ARE her leader. I am just an old cat." she laughed softly, and got a far off look in her eyes as if remembering days long past. "Yes...... an old cat is all I am."

"StarClan told Orangeleaf that 'the raven that was born into fire must leave for her destiny lies within another clan'." Flamestar said. "WHAT! Another clan?". Her leader sighed. "You don't have to go if you don't want to but if it is your destiny....". "What if I don't want my destiny!" she snapped. "Maybe I want to be a warrior HERE, and stay with my family HERE, and defend my clan HERE! I'll never belong anywhere else!". Ravenwing stormed out of the camp and sat down next to the old oak tree. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "My destiny........What am I to do!"
