Stormstar jumped out onto the Sandmound. She glanced around at the almost deserted camp, and called the words that would summon her Clanmates. "Every cat old enough to catch their own prey, gather here beneath the Sandmound for a few ceremonies!"
Amberpaw peered out of the medicine cat's den hopefully. She scrambled to get to her paws, but something hit her and pushed her back down. Sleetfall's black and white figure hovered over her, amber eyes gleaming with frustration.
Sleetfall sighed. "Amberpaw, for the last time, you're staying here!" Sleetfall groaned. Her eyes flickered with sympathy for the apprentice. I hope that even though she cannot become a warrior, she finds something to do in life, she prayed silently. "Soon you can come out," she continued. With that, she strode past her younger sister out below the Sandmound, gazing up at her mother Stormstar.
Aridpaw limped slightly, though mostly walked out beside his older sister Sleetfall. He sat down beside her, glancing at the regal leader sitting atop the Sandmound - his mother.
Falconwing bounded out and slid to a stop, out by himself for the moment. But then Yellowkit came right up a second behind him, mimiccing his father's movements exactly. "Am I gonna be an apprentice?" he whispered excitedly. Falconwing only chuckled with a small nod.
Opalstone trotted up, taking a seat beside Falconwing.

Blackpaw stepped toward Sandmound his fur sleek and shinning now that he had a clan and was able to take care of himself. His figure had changed from the way it was, he seemed to have grown. In reality he had just gone from starving to well-feed and so he had just filled out. His eyes flicked up to Stormstar a hint of readiness in them. 'Hopefully I can become a warrior again.' He thought as he sat himself towards the edge of the gathered clan cats.

Starrypaw strode out of the apprentices' den and looked at Stormstar. The golden tabby weaved her way around the other cats and over to her sister, Hopetear. Finally she spotted the white she-cat sitting alone and quickly made her way to her.
Hopetear turned her head and saw her young sister padding up to her. The white she-cat purred at the golden tabby, but said nothing. She wrapped her tail neatly around her paws, blue eyes were gazing at the other cats.

Thistleclaw, Russetpelt, Auburnsheen, and Desertpaw(a lot I know xD) converged and sat together near the Sandmound. Desertpaw fidgited excitedly, hoping that today he would finally become a warrior. Russetpelt stood and left his father and siblings, heading towards the medicine cats den. The brown tabby tom peeked through the entrance, meowing a greeting. "Hey Sleetfall, how is Amberpaw doing?" Russetpelt purred.

OOC: Sleetfall sitting close to the medicine cat den, but underneath the Sandmound....I'll pretend you went there...XD
Sleetfall turned to her brother. "She's doing okay, but..." she murmured, trailing off. Her eyes brimmed with sympathy for her little sister. "She can never be a true warrior. Maybe Stormstar could give her her name, just to humor her..." Her eyes gleamed. "I'll go get her...but she may have to lean against one of us." She walked over to the den, vanishing momentarily into it, then reappearing with Amberpaw leaning against her for support. The two made their way back to Russetpelt, Amberpaw wearing a frown on her face.
Stormstar peered down at the gathered cats, eyes passing over Thistleclaw uninterestedly. "Cats of DuneClan," she meowed, "First things first, there are 5 apprentices who are very deserving of their warrior names. Amberpaw, Aridpaw, Desertpaw, Blackpaw, and Starrypaw, please step forward." (OOC: Too impatient...auto step) After they did so, she smiled proudly at them all, even Amberpaw who had sort of staggered. "I, Stormstar, leader of DuneClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. Blackpaw has trained hard in the ways of the warrior code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. From now on, Blackpaw's new name shall be Blackflame. DreamClan honors his loyalty and his skills." She glanced at him with a small smile. It looks like he proved himself after all. Then she moved on. "Aridpaw too has trained, and just as hard, in the ways of the code. I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Aridpaw, from this moment on, your new name will be Aridsand. DreamClan honors your bravery and your strength," she mewed, "Desertpaw has trained in the ways of the warrior code as well. I commend him to you as a warrior with his siblings, in his turn. Desertpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Desertstorm. DreamClan honors your courage and willingness to learn." Desertpaw hadn't gone out looking for trouble as his siblings, Aridsand and Amberpaw had. She was saving Amberpaw for last, so now she shifted to Starrypaw. "DreamClan, Starrypaw has trained hard in the ways of your code. I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. From this moment on, Starrypaw, you will be known as Starrysky. DreamClan honors your ability, and you too will be a valuable warrior of DuneClan," she continued, "And last but not least. Amberpaw. You have trained hard in the ways of the code, and I commend you to DreamClan as a warrior in your turn. From this moment on, you will be known as Amberheart. DreamClan honors your determination and understanding." She grinned down at Amberheart, but then her mouth fell open as Amberheart collapsed on the ground, twitching....Having another vision.

Smokeheart, a smokey gray tom who usually lived in DuneClan's shadows, stared at Amberheart in surprise as the new warrior collapsed. Whats going on? He asked in his mind

Blackflame nodded slowly as he was returned his warrior's name. He couldn't help but look at the kits that were gathered, knowing you couldn't be deputy without having mentored before. Yet as Amberheart fell he quickly turned and trotted over to her side. "Amberheart? Are you okay?"

Amberheart experienced something no cat had before, and lived to tell the tale - death. She saw the battlescene, the blooddrenched cats around her...she said something to Brambleface...Brambleface was dying! But, so was she! "Don't worry, I'll always be here..." she murmured, "Don't mourn me too long." And then she realized Brambleface was already dead. She noticed finally that Stormpaw was in front of her. And then....everything went black. The last thought she had was that, her killer...was Emberstar. Amberheart's eyes flew open. She had relived her past life. And now she knew. It was all real. The new Amberheart...Amberpaw, still, shied away as Amberheart regained control and she remembered everything completely. Then the two combined, and Amberheart jumped to her paws. Except now, she wasn't Amberheart, Stormstar's daughter. She wasn't her sister either. She was both. Her eyes flashed and she swayed, overwhelmed by the sudden sense of knowing. "Stormstar." She gazed at Stormstar like an equal...like a sister. "It was me all along. Why didn't I see? I'm coming back...I'm back."
Stormstar blinked in confusion. "Wha....?" she murmured. Was Amberheart going crazy? What exactly had she seen in that vision?

Thistleclaw stared horrified as Amberheart fell to the ground, then stepped forwards to Amberheart's side. "What are you talking about?" The tom murmured. Russetpelt slid to Auburnsheen's side, the two of them waiting silently for an answer.
Desertstorm was joyful to have received his warrior name finally, but when Amberheart collapsed was too worried about his sister to care for the time being.

Frostkit appeared just outside the nursery, while her mother, whiterose, ran over to the group of cats.
Frostkit groaned, not noticed why they were gathered."Blackflame has gotten his warrior name and i will have to listen to him."
OCC: Amber, what about yellowkit and frostkit? or are the going to become apprentices later.

Starrysky couldn't help but suppresses a loud purr. When she noticed that all the cats were turned looking at something, the she-cat turned around to see them looking at Amberheart. Not wanting to crowd her anymore then they were already doing, she stayed where she was, but still wanted to know what happened.

OOC: Yeah they are White. And if anyone wants their names changed, just say the word.
Amberheart turned and looked at the cats who crowded her. She glared defiantly at Thistleclaw. "You know what I'm talking about," she hissed, frustrated, "Its me. Amberheart. The old Amberheart." She knew she must have sounded crazy, so she added. "In case you need proof I died in a war between RageClan and AshClan. Emberstar killed me. And, Phoenixstar was leader of DuneClan." She growled in anger. "Is that proof enough? I'm going to hunt down Emberstar..."
Stormstar blinked. "Am...Amberheart?" was all she could utter out, feebly.

The golden warrior watched from a distance, but could make out the words of what they were saying. She rose to her paws as soon as she heard Amberheart's last words. "Hunt down Emberstar?" Blue eyes were clouded with confusion as she stared at the mass of cats in front of her.

Thistleclaw shrank back, unable to reply. He hadn't known of it being the real Amberheart, as Stormstar had told him nothing of her visions. In fact, she has hardly talked to me at all... Thistleclaw thought half-heartedly, but pushed that problem to the back of his mind. It could be dealt with later. Russetpelt looked down at Amberheart, amber eyes glowing curiously. "Wait, so are you our sister,or our mother's sister?" The tom meowed. Auburnsheen nodded, wanting to know the same herself.
OOC: I am reincarnating Brambleface. They shoul like somehow meet each other in some odd way lol

"Both," Amberheart replied calmly, but then her brow furrowed in confusion. She blinked, looking to her mother for explanation. "How come he acts like...you didn't tell him?"
Stormstar was unfaZed by being demanded of something like that. "That's not a matter to discuss at the moment," she mewed, "But if you must know, Thistleclaw didn't need to know. If you - if Amberpaw - wanted to tell him, she would've. I hardly knew what they were anyway." She didn't even glance at Thistleclaw, seemingly uninterested by him. But deep inside she longed for him to tell her he did care, to nuzzle her...but something in her told her it wouldn't happen. Not now. Not ever. Had the love between them been real? It felt so much like a fantasy. And yet Stormstar's love still lingered, behind her stony-faced mask.
