Disclamer- I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS
"StarClan watch over this apprentice and guide his paws quickly on his path to be a warrior."
Quickly? Hmm...
"Aspenstorm, you're an ideal fighter and a challenging teacher. I know you will pass these raits on to your apprentice."
I watched my brother touch noses with his mentor. Where's Fallingheart? I saw her, near her den. Just wait!
"Moonkit."
I stepped forward, heart pounding, I thought it might burst! The Sky Stone seemed to go up forever.
"From this moment on you will be known as Moonpaw."
He remembered! He didn't say 'until you recieve your warrior name'! Yes yes yes!
"Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw!"
"Moonpaw!" I turned my head. Thanks Sandpaw! I owe you one!
"Moonpaw has chosen a different path from the others. Fallingheart."
I watched the suprise on the medicine cat's face. The clan was silent. My heart pounded. Come on, mentor. You asked me first! Come on!
"You have learned well from Silverwhisker. I trust you will teach Moonpaw well."
Fallingheart noded, then walked over to me. I lifted my head and touched noses with her. A feeling of welcome wahed over me. I'm here. I'm coming to face my destiny, StarClan.
When the clan left I looked around for Sandpaw. There! She was with Illuminatedpath, they were talking. Glancing back at Fallingheart, I raced over to my sister.
"Sandpaw! Could you come here a moment?" I needed to talk to her, now.
"Ok, Moonpaw." she followed me away from everyone else.
"S-Sandpaw? I need you to promise me something." please, please say yes, please.
Sandpaw tilted her head, then replied, "O-ok. What is it?"
"Promise me that if you know you can't win on your own, that you will run. Run and get out of there, no matter what. Ok, will you promise me that?" please, please Sandpaw, promise me.
"Only if you promise me that no matter how bad it seems, you'll never give up. Never." Sandpaw sounded serious.
"I promise." this would be fair. I'll never give up, I promise.
"I promise, too." Sandpaw put her forehead against mine, "I promise."
"Sandpaw, would you like to come on a border patrol? You should get familiar with the territory." Illuminatedpath called.
With one last look at me, Sandpaw happily raced away. Have fun!
"Moonpaw, why didn't you tell me you'd be my apprentice?" I hadn't heard Fallingheart come up behind me.
"I wanted to suprise you!" yay! Acornstar didn't tell!
"Well, we'll have to go to the Shining Rocks tonight. You still aren't my apprentice until StarClan knows." the glint in her eyes told me otherwise.
"Well, can I at least get to know some herbs? That's not forbidden, is it?" I wanted to be doing something.
"Course not. Come on." Fallingheart padded off to her, our, den. I followed.
"Welcome to the medicine cat's den! I guess you'll be staying here, so we'll make you a nest later. Over here is my stock of herbs, this is borage. Remember when I brought some in for Hazelflower? It helps a queen's milk come, remeber that."
The leaf she pointed to was green and fuzzy. Borage, got it. Helps queens milk, got it.
"Does it do anything else? I know some herbs are good for more than one thing." I asked.
"Actually, borage also helps with bringing down fever."
Borage, helps queens milk and reduces fever. Got it.
"Will we go collect something today? I kinda want to get out of camp." I thought of Sandpaw, racing around the borders.
"Of course, I need a lot more herbs. We're actually running low at the moment." Fallingheart looked around at her stores.
Running low? I looked at the millions of herbs around me. What does it look like normally?
"Come on, I'll show you the best place to find borage, and burdock, too!" I watched Fallingheart easily slip out of the den without crushing any herbs. How does she do that? Oh well.
I jumped. Jumped as high as I could, straight toward the exit. My paws hit the ground. Eek! I flew over my frount paws and stared rolling. Oh no! Not on my first day! Oh no!
When I opened my eyes, I was relieved that no one was around. Wait, this isn't camp! Where am I? I should go back to camp, but this is so cool!
"Moonpaw? Are you coming Moonpaw?" Fallingheart's voice came from behind me.
"Oh, yes sorry! Um, where are you? I kind of, uh." What do I say? 'I got lost but am right outside camp.' How stupid!
