Stormkit's POV
I walked out of the nursery, and heard Featherstar call the summons to a clan meeting. Mistflower had just told me we were about to become apprentices, and I felt like I was going to burst with excitement. This is my chance to prove to Stormclan that I can become a warrior, and I will not be thrown out of the clans, I thought to myself.
"Stormkit." Featherstar signaled for me to come forward. "From this day forward, you will be known as Stormpaw. Dustcloud, this will be your first apprentice. Even though you cannot see, you have become a great warrior, and I expect you to teach Stormpaw how to become an excellent warrior, even though she can't see either. I bounded forward, and touched noses with my new mentor.
After our apprentice ceremony, me and Flowerpaw went to meet our new denmates in the apprentice den, and to find our new sleeping places.
"Stormpaw, I'm going to show you around the territory." Dustcloud called into the apprentice den. "Okay." I replied. "See you guys later!" I mewed to the other apprentices, and I bounded out of the apprentices den.
Me and Dustcloud walked through the gorse tunnel, and made our way into the forest.
"Okay, since you cannot see around you, you need to use your other senses so you don't accidentally run into any trees." He mewed to me. "When you can't see, your other senses tend to be sharper, so try to use your sense of smell, to smell the tree bark, or sap, so you don't run into trees. If you use your other sharper senses than you can locate around the territory without running into anything." He mewed. "Okay, I understand." I replied.
I started following Dustcloud when I heard him start to walk away. When he finally stopped, I started to smell another cat scent mingled with pine sap. That must be Mapleclan that I smell, I thought.
"This is Mapleclan. You can tell because they smell like pine sap, and this area turns marshy, so you know that this is the border with Mapleclan.
He turned around, and walked away. We walked, and stopped in front of, what I thought was a river, because I could hear water. I also caught a scent of other cats, mingled with the scent of windblown rabbits. And that must be Breezeclan, because of their rabbit scent.
"This is Breezeclan scent that you smell, because of their rabbit stench, and we are also at the stream that borders us from them.
He turned around and bounded over to a couple of trees, which was about a few foxlengths from the Breezeclan border, and stopped in front of the trees.
Their scent smelled like ours, only mingled with forest prey, instead of the fish we eat. And this must be Oakclan, with all of their forest prey, I thought.
"And this is our border with Oakclan. They smell like mice, because of all the forest prey in their territory, and their territory is covered with oak trees. Well that's our borders, so lets head back to camp.
Once we reached the camp we swam across the river, and bounded through the entrance.
I took a piece of freshkill over to Flowerpaw to share. "Guess what? I got to see all the borders, but I still think that Mapleclan smells the worst." I joked. Flowerpaw let out a mrrrow of amusement, and mewed, "Well I caught my first piece of prey today! We were fishing in the river closest to camp."
We continued talking, until I yawned. "Goodnight Flowerpaw." I mewed, and settled down in my nest in the apprentice den.
