Thunder Warrior[edit]
"We're not the enemy! We shouldn't be fighting one another. We're ThunderClan. We protect one another. We're bound by kinship and loyalty and the warrior code. Some of you chose ThunderClan. All of you have fought for your Clan, even when everything seemed hopeless. Some of you are preparing to bring new life into ThunderClan. Kits need to be protected and loved and taught how to live as warriors, and I know they will be, because in ThunderClan we protect those who need to be helped. We live, not for ourselves, but for one another. Everyone of you has put your Clan first before yourself in the past. No matter how young or inexperienced, you've all fought to protect your Clan. The bond that we've shared will not be broken now. We've all been through so much."
