"Then you two shall be known as Rainpaw, and Thunderpaw. The mentor of Rainpaw is Shallowpelt. For Thunderpaw, Falconscar. (+scar not star+) " Softstar shortened the ceremony, sensing that the day was not to be wasted on words.
Shallowpelt and I breifly touched noses before we left the ledge, where the ceremony had come to an end.
"Rainpaw, Thunderpaw! Rainpaw, Thunderpaw!"
I bounded up to the newly named Thunderpaw, asking,"What do you think? It feels great, right?"
"Of course," Thunderpaw replied.
"No time for talking freely, we have a territory to see!" Our mentors, Shallowpelt and Falconscar, bounded up to us, speaking. "Alright, so we tour the territory together, then go to the training hollow to practice the basics?" Shallowpelt asked Falconscar. He nodded in agreement.
"Then what are we waiting for?" I questioned in the loud voice I call my own.
We soon started our tour into the territory.
I padded behind Falconscar, who was leading the patrol, taking a look at the forest as we went on. Feeling weird, I paused. The air was soft and damp, clumping my pelt with its grip. Looking up, I saw the clouds, they were large and puffy. Just great. The day had started and it was already going to have a big error in it.
"Umm... Falconscar?" I asked.
He tilted his head back to hear.
"A storm is coming, a thunderstorm, one with rain and thunder(I felt weird writing that). We should get back to camp and prepare for the worst."
He froze, before turning back and running. "We have to get there before that happens!"
Tails streaming behind us, we ran back to camp, which wasn't too far away from us.
We stormed into camp, and I shouted, "THUNDERSTORM!"
Not long after, cats came streaming out of their dens, starting to prepare, because, although they have a thick umbrella of trees, their camp was located in a large clearing, an easy space to be accessed by rain.
I thought that I should be of need, so I went into the forest, this time bringing a lot of moss. Bringing it into the first den in sight, the queens' den. It was made of stone, with a bit of ivy strips griping the walls. Great. I grabbed the end of the ivy, and tied it to the moss, for later, so it wouldn't be wet like the old ones.
Next, the elders den. This den was different, still stone, as all of them were, except, it had no ivy, or anything on the walls. Thinking fast, I wedged it between a deep crack within the wall.
The medicine cat den, I grabbed the last bit of moss that I had and shoved it in the corner of the walls, placing cobwebs over it to hold it in place. "How do you..." I silenced the medicine cat with my tail and got her moss, the stored one, which was enough to finish up.
The apprentice den was with ivy, so I did the same as the queens den, tied it up to the ivy before securing it and moving on.
Warriors den. One of the last before the leaders den. I got a majority of the moss into many small wedges in the wall, enough moss for each warrior to make their own nest. Grabbing the last of the moss, I stormed outside.
It had started raining.
Shielding the moss with my fur, I reached the final den, going to the far end of it, I placed the moss in a small crack in the wall, before exiting the den, and running into the apprentices.
What I did should prove helpful for later.
