WARRIORS

OLD ERA

PARTI

Stripedstar looked out into the sky. The stars gleaming in his face, he turned around to his deputy Sharpclaw "It's time." He gave a call and all of the clan cats came charging to the orange rock. "Fellow citizens of the TigerClan, it's time for a new apprentice!" Everyone cheered. Stripedstar gave an exotic kind of nod and a kit came running to him. Are you ready to become a full apprentice Silverkit"? The kit nodded nervously. Then you will now be known as Silverpaw!" Greeneyes! Are you ready for your first apprentice?" The slick warrior nodded confidently. "Then you shall be Silverpaw's mentor!" Silverpaw's eyes shimmered with excitement. Silverpaw trotted over to Greeneyes and the nuzzled their noses. Greeneyes smiled.

"Silverpaw! Silverpaw! Wakeup!" Silverpaw opened his eyes groggily.

"Wha….."

"You have to wake up! It's time for lessons!"

"What! Lessons…… Oh my very first lesson wow! Thanks for waking me up Bravepaw!"

"Sure! Let's go!" Bravepaw pleaded.

The sun shined in Silverpaw's face. He looked at his mentor happily. He was so excited. He had always dreamed of becoming the clan leader, and becoming an apprentice was the first step. "Silverpaw!"

"Yes Greeneyes!" Silverpaw said as he straightened himself upright.

"This is the Spotted River. Take note of it for you shall see it many times in your lifetime."

"Why is it called the Spotted River?"

"That's because the Leopardclan owns the river. And as you know Leopards are spotted…. So you get the idea." Silverpaw nodded with a understanding look.

"Hey Silverpaw!" Silverpaw turned around and smiled. It was Bravepaw, and Bravepaw's mentor Bluetail.

"Oh hey!" Silverpaw said overjoyed that his friend had finally met up with him.

"Silverpaw! This is not time to be playing around! This is a lesson!" Greeneyes said furious.

"I'm sorry Greeneyes…" Silverpaw whimpered. He looked down at the ground sadly. Greeneyes sighed.

"Silverpaw… look you need to pay attention. I'm sorry if I seem mean at times but it's only for your own good. Plus you're my first apprentice. The experiment. Silverpaw snickered and Greeneyes gave a playful look. The tussled around a little playfully. Then they stopped. They heard a battle call.

"Lionclan!" Bluetail roared. Silverpaw and Bravepaw gasped.
