It was a half moon when spottedpaw will be accepted by starclan foxpaw layed in the moss bed when a dark brown and black tom with a siamese cat padded into the medicine cat den "oh foxpaw your ok" she siamese cat mewed as she bounded over to her. It was her mother Onewhisker and her father Lionheart "we came to sit with you for tonight since spottedpaw and cinderpelt won't be here" lionheart meowed calmly foxpaw managed to smile as cinderpelt padded in "im glad you smiled you've been looking as down as a mouse loosing its tail" she let out a mirrow of laughter "SPOTTEDPAW come on we have to go know if we are going to get there before the other medicine cats" she yowled as a calico apprentice came out from the ferns "coming cinderpelt by foxpaw and make sure you tell lionheart or Onewhisker if your ear or eye starts to sting ok bye" she told the ginger she-cat "i will spottedpaw" foxpaw promised her friend as she bounded of after her apprentice.

"How much further" spottedpaw called to her mentor cinderpelt as the half moon shone on cinderpelts ash pelt "not much farther know" cinderpelt hissed. The two cats reached a pool that had stars reflecting in the water "this is it" she mewed spottedpaw gulped as cinderpelt began "spottedpaw is it your wish to enter the mysteries of starclan as a medicine cat" cinderpelt mewed looking into the pond "it is" spottedpaw mewed shakily "then come forward" cinderpelt ordered her to come forward to the pond with her bushy tail spottedpaw stood there she then padded up to cinderpelt and sat beside her.
"Warriors of Starclan i present you this apprentice she has chosen the path of a medicine cat grant her your wisdom and insight so that she may understand your ways and heal her clan accordance in your will" cinderpelt meowed as spottedpelt saw the stars in the water shine on her was she dead.

There eyes widened as they saw the apprentices fur "i see you have a apprentice cinderpelt congratulations" mudpool mewed now lets see what star clan has to say cinderpelt and they rest of the cats drunk from the pool and fell asleep into there dreams.
