Flintheart’s friends existed in other clans, from Riverclan to even Shadowclan, and he knew a thing or two about meeting them in battle. It was a terrible experience, but his heart was always set with Thunderclan. Abruptly, he looked at Sparrowpaw once again with a serious expression within his maw. “As a future warrior of Thunderclan, Sparrowpaw, are you willing to give your life for your clan and all the cats within it?” He asked, not blinking.

Sparrowpaw perked her ears to the distant sounds of water rushing through the lake. She neatly tucked her forepaws underneath her chest as she thought a moment. She then looked up at her mentor. "I... don't know if I will end up like my mother, but... yes, I am willing to sacrifice my life for ThunderClan. I will do whatever it takes to protect my Clan..." she gazed at a mouse running through the grass at her left, her whiskers quivering slightly, before looking at her mentor again, ready for the next part of her lesson.
