Tale of Lightblaze: Chapter 2

Chapter 2:  Becoming Lightpaw

And so I grew.  My life was the same as any kit's, except for the fact that I had no parents.  I was okay with that, though, for I soon forgot that I was not a clan born cat.  I only recently discovered my true heritage, but I consider myself a clan cat, and so do the other cats.  No matter where you were born, it is your heart that reveals where you were meant to be.  It is clear to me that I was, and am, meant to be a part of ThunderClan and the forest.

When I turned six moons old, I became an apprentice, and my name became Lightpaw.  That day, I was so excited, I ran out of camp and I only realized how far I had gone when I reached Fourtrees, of which I had heard tales from the warriors and elders.  The first cat I meet outside of my own clan is Smokeypaw.  He introduces me to Soulpaw and Spiritpaw, and we ran around, climbing trees and leaping off them.  I slipped off the branches multiple times, falling into the snow banks.  Somehow, Smokeypaw and Soulpaw flew to the moon.  I tried to follow, but was only to leap from the trees to the clouds, and ended up falling back to earth, creating a cat-shaped hole in the snow.  Having exhausted myself, I went back to the ThunderClan camp, got myself a piece of fresh-kill, and went to sleep.
