Before long, Adderkit reached the ripe age of six moons old and he was ready to begin his training as a apprentice. Earning his name Adderpaw, and deep within him he could feel the pride and honour of being a Apprentice, not just any apprentice, but a ShadowClan apprentice. He vowed he'd become a strong and powerful ShadowClanner that all of ShadowClan could be proud of. Throughout his Apprenticeship ceremony he couldn't see Iceheart anywhere, it seemed that she decided not to attend the ceremony. Although not far from him, Adderpaw could see Snakejaw looking over at his son, pride within his eyes. Although little did Adderpaw know, that from now on his father would become even more distant.

Adderpaw was given a warrior to mentor him, he went by the name of Bearshade, a large and dark bearlike tom, with scars covering his face and body. He was a stoic tom who almost always seemed to have a sneer upon his face. Although no cat could deny his loyalty or strength. Nor could anyone deny how much and how close the tom was to the warrior code. Many cats would mention how his mate's kits survived despite being born frail and weak, rumour was that one even stillborn and yet brought back by starclan. Although not many believe this. Although coincidentally Bearshade's made happened to be the queen who shared the nursery with Iceheart and Adderkit, going so far as to make sure Adderkit was well looked after. Her kits Deadkit and Brokenkit, two young toms who were now Apprentices, and close friends of Adderpaw.

Throughout Adderpaw's training with Bearshade, it was rather difficult. Or well it was to begin with. Not only was it increadibly awkward between the two at first. With Bearshade not exactly being the friendliest of toms, or the most talkative. But Adderpaw as so set on showing what he was made of, wanting to do battle training and border patrols. Ultimately he wanted to have a run in with a rival patrol and show them who's boss. Although Bearshade disagreed with Adderpaw, and continued to take him onto hunting patrols until Adderpaw was able to be adequately hunt. As you could imagine, the young tabby tom, believed this was a waste of his time.

Although despite how Adderpaw was when it came to his training. Or at least from how dedicated he was. He did however enjoy being around his best friends Deadpaw and Brokenpaw, and before long another cat joined their group. A white molly by the name of Snowpaw. She'd just been made a apprentice and almost within an instant she was joining their group. Although Brokenpaw welcomed her in almost instantly. Deadpaw and Adderpaw believed it wasn't ok. They thought it wasn't ok for a molly to infiltrate the tom group. But throughout time they came to accept Snowpaw within their group. And before long a friendship blossomed between all four apprentices. Although Deep down, none of the apprentices knew, but Adderpaw began to form a crush on Deadpaw. Although knowing his father wouldn't approve, and that Bearshade wouldn't be much help, and for the fear of being rejected by everyone else, he kept it hidden.

As Adderpaw got ever closer to his Assessments, the harder he and Deadpaw trained. Brokenpaw and Snowpaw, however, were often around sneaking off and avoiding their duties. This only allowed Deadpaw and Adderpaw to get closer. Before long it was time for the two to begin their assessments. The two toms passed their fighting with flying colours, and their Hunting wasn't too much of a hassle either. Now it was a matter of a few sunrises before they'd earn their warrior names.

Stood before the Leader's perch, Deadpaw and Adderpaw stood awaiting for Sandstar to bless them with their new names. Brokenpaw and Snowpaw having to wait back another three moons to catch up on their training, the pair almost scowling at Deadpaw and Adderpaw. Once cats of ShadowClan had gathered, Snakejaw stood adjacent to Sandstar, normally a father would have pride within his eyes, although Snakejaw seemed distant, his face unrecognisable. However Bearshade seemed somewhat proud of both his apprentice and his son.

After a few moments Sandstar's jaws opened and he bestowed the two apprentices with their warrior names. Deadpaw earning the name Deadclaw for his skill within battle. Adderpaw earning the name Adderstrike for his powerful abilities within battle. The two then faced the rest of the clan as the clan began to chant their new names. All besides Iceheart, Brokenpaw and Snowpaw. Those three of which just scowled at the two new warriors

Throughout the tom's warriorhood, things were rather uneventful Mostly patrols and spending time with Deadclaw. Before long, Snowpaw was beginning to get close to her warrior ceremony, and with this began to start getting closer to Adderstrike. While Adderstrike paid little to no attention to her, over time went on, he began to have his father coming towards him, claiming that Adder had a lovely molly at his side for when she becomes a warrior. That the two would make a valiant pair. While Adderstrike wasn't interested the idea that his father approved of him and Snow together, made him feel good

Within the next moon, Brokenpaw and Snowpaw became warriors. Earning the names Brokentooth and Snowbloom. After the clan chanted their names, the camp fell silent. A few sunrises after Adder and Snow became mates. Although, it would seem that the tom continued to be distant, and sadly for Snowbloom she couldn't for the life of her, understand why. However, Snowbloom continued to try and with the tom's affection.

Not long after,the two cats became mates, Adderstrike was blessed with his apprentice. A young cat who was given a mentor when they reached six moons old, although sadly two moons into their apprenticeship their mentor was killed by a roaming twoleg dog. Once the cats grieved for them, the apprentice was given to Adderstrike to mentor. The apprentice's name being Frogpaw. A Grey / brown tom with green eyes. He was a Quiet and stoic apprentice, although with time the two cats started to get along with one another, discovering that they were more a like than they once thought.

Throughout Adderstrike's training of Frogpaw, Snowbloom continued to try making advances on Adderstrike. Trying to get his attention. Although these were more often than not, unsuccessful, with the tom claiming that he needed to spend all his time training Frogpaw. Telling Snowbloom that Frogpaw would make an amazing warrior, even a potential future leader with the right training. Despite being disheartened by her mate, she stood aside.

Although what did catch Adderstrike's attention was, one day, Iceheart, Adderstrike's mother and Snakejaw's former mate was brought into camp. Escorted by two ThunderClan warriors. Claiming they found her across the border infiltrating their territory. She claimed it was an accident, that she accidentally crossed it after meeting with a RiverClan warrior. When pressed for further information from the rest of the clan, she exclaimed loudly, that she had been meeting with a RiverClan tom for moons, and how she was leaving to join RiverClan. Without another word, she glared at Snakejaw and turned to leave. Only stopping for a moment, to look at Adderstrike, although she said nothing. But he could of been sure he saw regret or sadness within her eyes.

Before long, it was time for Frogpaw's warrior ceremony, earning the name Frogpad, for his silent footsteps, making his a stealthy cat who was admirable for his hunting. Although the Ceremony didn't end there. As Snakejaw. Deputy of ShadowClan exclaimed that he was going to be stepping down as deputy, and retiring to the elder's den, after having received more than his fair share of battle scars, one of which claiming his eye and part of his eyesight. Thus meant that Sandstar had to choose a new deputy. Most of the clan knew that it would be a choice between Deadclaw and Adderstrike, two toms who would make both fine deputies for the clan. Unfortunately for Adderstrike, it was Deadclaw who was made the next deputy. Although the tom wasn't bitter, he was glad his closest friend and crush was able to move up within the ranks

Throughout the coming moons, Adderstrike continued to spend time with Frogpad and Deadclaw. From time to time he had to prove his love to Snowbloom, almost trying to convince himself that he loved her. Although the more time he spent with her, the more he knew the two weren't to be. However, with any time the tom had spare he would go and spend some time with his father. Despite as an apprentice and a warrior, he and his father never were really close, he believed that he should try and spend time with him, although as time would go on things would only end up within an awkward silence.

Not even two moons into DeadClaw's deputyship, when he was brought into camp, torn up and battered. His body, or what was left of it. Lifeless, his second apprentice Bluepaw brought back into camp, shaken up and mildly scarred and bruised. It was then when a new deputy was to be chosen. Sandstar called out from his perch, calling out Adderstrike's name. A name most of the clan already expected to hear. Although Adderstrike didn't hear, for he was too busy grieving over DeadClaw.

The next day, began the start of Adderstrike's deputyship, and his first act of buisness, he was given Bluepaw. Deadclaw's former apprentice, who was now shaken up and struggled to leave the camp. He was a blue / grey tom with a dark back and tail, with green eyes. Even before the fox attack he was a timid apprentice, but after the fox attack it was almost impossible to have him leave the camp for an extended amount of time.

When Adderstrike was made a deputy, Sandstar was certainly getting up there within his age. Most of the clan knew Sandstar to be a leader who was unlike most former ShadowClan leaders. His pelt was bright and ginger, he certainly wasn't a feared leader, but he was cool and fair. Some of ShadowClan believed that he wasn't a leader ShadowClan needed. Snakejaw before he was made a deputy would of agreed with those cats. Although over time he came to enjoy working with Sandstar, and understood his ways. Adderstrike however, was a cat who was loyal to Sandstar, although believed that ShadowClan needed a leader that could make the other clan's tremble with fear. Believing he was the cat for that. By the time Adderstrike was made deputy of the clan, Sandstar was on his third to last life. And now his lives were dropping like flies. His play it safe tactics had him keep most if not all his lives into his old age, and now they were dropping moon over moon.

While Adderstrike was out on a patrol with Bluepaw. Training the young tom as he slowly began to come out of his shell. A heavily pregnant Snowbloom approached Adderstrike. Telling him for the fourth time that she was pregnant with his kits. Although Adderstrike shook this off quickly. Telling her that his and her relationship wasn't right for them. Heart broken, and pregnant without a mate, Snowbloom almost begged Adderstrike not to leave her. But his mind was set. Only for the queen to flee back to camp. And continue the rest of her life, without her former mate. Only growing more and more bitter towards him. Often at times even believing that he was seeing another cat even while the two were together.

Before long Snowbloom gave birth to a single kit. Naming her dilute tabby tom, Palekit. As she curled around her only kit who looked so much like his father, she granted Adderstrike to see his son. As he looked down to the small bundle of dilute fur, he said nothing before he left the nursery, for Snowbloom to look after the kit alone. Although, as time went on, Snowbloom confronted Adderstrike, telling him that he couldn't abandon his son, like he abandoned her. Again he said nothing.

Finally after many moons, it was time for Bluepaw to become a warrior. He had grown into a valuable warrior, over coming his fear of going out and being attacked by a fox, like he and his former mentor were. Earning the name Bluebark for his now tough and logical personality.

After another moon after Bluebark's warrior ceremony, Sandstar lost his last and final life. His age finally having gotten the better of him. And thus meant for Adderstrike to head to mother mouth and earn his nine lives and be made a leader. As he left he left Ambershard in charge, a molly who he had in mind for his deputy.

Once at mother mouth, Adderstrike awoke to find himself within StarClan. Surrounded in cats he once knew. Including Deadclaw, where the tom could almost tear up as he saw his former friend and crush stood looking more alive than ever. It was here where Adderstrike earned his lives, and his name. And before long, Adderstar, made his way back to camp, making Ambershard his deputy, and thus began the rein of Adderstar.
