It's said that the first leader of EmberClan, a wise old she-cat named Emberstar, hated medicine cats.
"Useless bags of fur," Emberstar snarled from atop the pile of branches she addressed the Clan on. "We need warriors, not herbalists! We need brave fighters, not good-for-nothing healers with their heads in the clouds! If any cat of EmberClan wants to be such an awful, useless Clan member, we will let them, but they will pay. Medicine cats will be our slaves, not our Clanmates!"
"Our slaves!" chanted her Clan. "They will be our slaves!"
The first medicine cat of EmberClan, a small tom named Blueflame, was so devoted to serving his Clan and saving lives that he kept being a medicine cat. When Emberstar told him to hunt, he hunted, even though he wasn't trained to. When Emberstar told him to throw away perfectly good herbs, he did so, despite the Clan's recent bout of greencough. When Emberstar told him to leave the Clan forever, Blueflame picked up his herbs and traveled to IceClan. He's still buried on Talonstar's land today, although we're closer to rivals than friends.
Other medicine cats were not as determined to prove themselves. Littleclaw, a scraggly brown she-cat, rebelled against Emberstar's rule before her death a season later. Blueberry, a rogue who was forced to be medicine cat against her will, did not obey orders and managed to run away before being further enslaved. Medicine cats have an awful history, a history going back from their very beginning. And it's a history I intend to take part in.
Leaders have changed. Abusing medicine cats is now a thing of the past, a thing to be shamed on- but we aren't liked. We're hardly appreciated at all, even by injured or sick warriors. Cats don't care about medicine cats, even nowadays.
Emberstar's rule is over. But her legacy, her curse, has been passed down for generations. Because of her, medicine cats are not equals; they're still slaves in essence. They're still hated on, teased, made fun of. And I'm about to become one.
I'm going to be a medicine cat.
