Bumblestar was to be his sister's mentor. Quite honestly, Crowpaw didn't know how to feel about it. She had purposefully passed a threat to another Clan. The same Clan that he happened to be leaving for tomorrow. The same Clan that he quite possibly had family in.
StarClan you could have led my sister to me sooner. You knew of my plan to leave ThunderClan. You KNEW! And now I'll be losing my sister all over again. Now she'll be losing me all over again. So soon after we were brought together...
"You may not blame me... but that wasn't the first time I lost a sister to my own thoughtlessness." That was the thing. He didn't belong in ThunderClan, and part of him thought the same about his sister. But was he going to bring her to RiverClan with him? That was something Bluepaw would have to decide for herself. Crowpaw wasn't going to force his sister to uproot her life once more for his sake. If ThunderClan felt like a home to Bluepaw, where she'd be happy, then Crowpaw wouldn't try to change her mind.
"Your looks mean nothing to me. Your scars... they're a reflection of your past, just like mine are. My littermate- your sister... she had scars too. But I'll tell you all about it later." Then his reunion with his sister was temporarily put on hold. It was time for his ceremony. With his thoughts whirling about in his head, Crowpaw hardly even heard Bumblestar call him forward.
"The truth can wait a little longer... it has for thirteen moons."
Being shoved forward for his ceremony wasn't something he imagined, but it gave himself a good amount of joy. Joy that he'd never let go.
I was there for Quietpaw's apprentice ceremony, now Bluepaw's. It's time I get my own ceremony... a ceremony that Thrushstar and Quailfur would have probably never appeared to. But that was not going to let his mood get dragged down. Thrushstar was dead to him, and Quailfur was dead officially.
Finding his balance, Crowpaw looked from Bumblestar, knowing he'd have to lie in his vow, then to Bluepaw. With his sister, he found his courage. Courage in knowing that everything would work out regardless of what he says today.
Sweetsong, I'm coming home. He promised to become a warrior that Sweetsong could be proud of. A warrior that RiverClan could be proud of.
This is for you, RiverClan. And for you, Quietpaw... I wish you could be here for this physically, to meet your little sister... to become a warrior by my side. I'm doing this for everyone in the family. Warriors have courage... so that's what I'll start my warriorhood with. Courage.
One step at a time, the young tom stepped forward until he was almost nose-to-nose with Bumblestar. Looking into her eyes, wondering what- no. He
knew what his warrior name would be. Why? It was simple. He'd ask for it. Not yet, of course... it wasn't quite the right time yet.
