So one day Rusty goes far out of his garden home to the forest and finds a cat named Graystripe. After fighting with the Graystripe Rusty learns that there are four clans in the forest, Thunderclan, Shadowclan, Riverclan, and Windclan. Suddenly two more cats come out, Lionheart and Bluestar. Bluestar is the leader of Thunderclan. Bluestar talks to Rusty and asks if he would like to join Thunderclan. Rusty decides he will think about it and in the morning he decides to join Thunderclan. So he goes out to meet Lionheart and says yes to the proposal. Lionheart then takes Rusty to the Thunderclan camp. Bluestar then changed Rusty’s name to Firepaw and is apprenticed to Lionheart. In the camp the warriors hunt and protect the others, apprentices are still training under a warrior, and Queens are the female cats that are or going to give birth to kits. A lot later Firepaw is still an apprentice and is out hunting when he comes across a cat that smells of Shadowclan.
