Graystripe and Fireheart were startled when they noticed Yellowfang's motionless body lying in the dirt.

"Yellowfang! Are you okay?" Asked Fireheart.

"Ugh…. I'm not sure if I'll make it.. Take me to Leafpaw. I know she's still an apprentice, but she knows a lot. She's ready to become the next Medicine Cat."

"A-are you retiring?" asked Graystripe.

"If I'm injured badly enough, then yes. I might not even survive this.." stated Yellowfang.

"We'll get you back to camp as soon as possible." They both declared.

Leafpaw grabbed the herbs and immediately applied them to Yellowfang's leg.

"Wow, Leafpaw! You're a great medicine cat, I have taught you well! It may be time I retire and let you take over as medicine cat." Said Yellowfang.

"But… I'm not fully trained yet! I still need help deciphering which herbs are which…" stated Leafpaw.

"Okay, when I get healed I will train you more, and you will maybe become medicine cat, if you're trained well enough. Do you want to become medicine cat after some more moons of training?"

"I guess I am ready.. I'm older than most apprentices." Leafpaw announced. "I guess I am ready, now that I think about it. I'd just hate to see you retire. I guess it's time though."

Leafpaw walked out of the medicine den.

"Is she okay? Graystripe asked.

I really hope she is. She was very well at healing, she saved many lives." stated Fireheart.

"She may be okay, and she said if she survives she'll train me more and then maybe she'll retire and let me become new medicine cat. Most likely she is okay, but she may be injured for a while."

"That's sad to see her retire, but it's good to see a new medicine cat. I hope you're a legend, just like Yellowfang was!" Graystripe said, and Fireheart agreed with him.

"Now, where Tigerclaw? Ashfur was sent to find him the other day."

Graystripe heard in the elders afternoon conversations.

Graystripe joined in. "Hey, did you elders hear that Yellowfang is injured? She might let Leafpaw become the new medicine cat!"

"What!? How did she get injured?" one spoke in.

"I don't know, she said to keep it secret.

"Tigerclaw! I've found him!" A voice spoke in to Graystripe.
