Toadpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your pride, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." answered Toadpaw.

"Then by StarPride, I give you your warrior name. Toadpaw, from this day on, you will be known as Toadtail. StarPride honors you and we welcome you as a full warrior of FlamePride." Padding forward, Tornstar rested his muzzle on top of Toadtail's head.

"Toadtail, Toadtail, Toadtail!" cheered Snowtail for the pride's newest warrior.
