(agreed. the day of the gathering? I want Swiftstar to specifically invite Dewpaw and Silverpaw)
(agreed. the day of the gathering? I want Swiftstar to specifically invite Dewpaw and Silverpaw)
(Yeah. Let's say that Shadepaw starts flirting with Silverpaw, she gets all flustered, and Dewpaw gets all suspicious, because that would make sense.)
(Bump?)
(oh right)
Swiftstar stretched in the light of the rising sun. It was a clear day, perfect for a gathering. She padded over to Vixenkit who looked like she was about to murder someone. "Vixenkit? Could you get Dewpaw and Silverpaw? Tell them I would like to speak to them." Vixenkit nodded furiously and darted off.
Vixenkit skidded to a halt in front of the two apprentices and hopped from paw to paw. "Swiftstar wants to see you!"
((sure but first ashkit needs to be made a app?
(yep! She will after she asks them to gathering? But first, can I ask how his wounds are?)
((he's still blinded but he's pretty much healed
(okay, I can play your new mentor)
((thx
Silverpaw looked up from grooming herself as Vixenkit delivered her message. She got to her paws. "Thank you, Vixenkit." She glanced at Dewpaw. "Let's go." The two apprentices made their way to Swiftstar's den. Silverpaw poked her head in. "You wanted to see us?" She asked, as Dewpaw slipped past her into the den.
Whitestreak came back into the medicine den carrying a mouthful of herbs. He stepped into the herb store to sort them. "How's Ashkit doing?" He asked as Swanpaw set a piece of fresh kill next to his paws. "He's doing great. Him and Vixenkit are outside." She glanced outside and saw the outraged look on the she-kit's face. "I'll be right back." She padded up to Vixenkit. "Something wrong?"
"Yes." Swiftstar stood and padded over to the two apprentices. "You have done very well, especially with Stormcloud being injured. I wish for both of you to come to the gathering tonight."
"Ashkit is becoming an apprentice today and I have to wait another moon," Vixenkit grumbled. She poked a claw at the dirt and scraped some into a small pile.
ashkit takes the food and eats it thankfully
Swanpaw smiled at the she-kit. "It'll be your turn soon, but until then, why don't you have as much fun as you possibly can?" She put her tail around Vixenkit. "You could play cat and mouse with Ashkit. It'll help him to rely more on his hearing and smell until he can see again." If he can see again… She thought.
Excitement fizzed under the apprentices pelts, but Silverpaw's soon turned to curiosity. Will Shadepaw be there? Ever since that day on the moor, her thoughts kept drifting back to the ThunderClan apprentice, but she didn't know why. "We will, thank you." Dewpaw said to Swiftstar. The sisters stood to leave the den.
"Fine. As much as I don't want to that sounds fun. Ashkit, we're going to play a game! After your ceremony, cause it's going to start soon." Vixenkit padded over to him and touched his flank with her tail.
Swiftstar smiled as she watched the apprentices leave. She stood and walked smoothly out of the den and leaped onto the mound of dirt she always stood on to address the clan. Taking a deep breath, she yowled, "All cats old enough to run on the moors, gathering in the clearing for a clan meeting!"
ashkits ears prick at the sound of the summons and stands up unsteadily
Vixenkit helped Ashkit into the clearing.
"Ashkit, can you please come up here." Swiftstar said.
Vixenkit stood against him to help lead him over.
Ashkit smiles excitedly" thanks Vixenkit"
Swiftstar smiled at the injured kit. "Ashkit, you have reached the age of six moons and it is time for you to become an apprentice. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Ashpaw. Hawkwillow, I think it is time for you to have your own apprentice. You are smart enough to work around Ashpaw's injury and train him to be his very best." A bobtailed, reddish brown tom stood and tried to hide his excitement as he padded to Ashpaw and slowly touched his nose to Ashpaw's. The clan all yowled," ASHPAW! ASHPAW! ASHPAW!" with Vixenkit as one of the loudest.
Silverpaw, Dewpaw, and Swanpaw yowled Ashpaw's name along with the others. The cats gathered around Ashpaw and Hawkwillow. Stormcloud made his way to the center. "Congratulations, Hawkwillow." He said, touching his nose to his son's ear. "You'll be a wonderful mentor." The cats dispersed to complete their duties. Swanpaw and Whitestreak went back to the medicine den to sort herbs. Dewpaw grabbed fresh kill for the elders, while Silverpaw took some to the nursery.
Hawkwillow's face shone with happiness. "I'll make you proud, Stormcloud." He said, feeling warm with his father's praise. He turned to Ashpaw. "Would you like to explore the territory?"
Silverpaw padded out of the nursery, and walked toward the entrance of camp, preoccupied with her thoughts. Dewpaw sat and listened as Seedwillow began to tell her about the past leaders and their adventures. Swanpaw picked up a bundle of horsetail and put it in the herbstore.
Hawkwillow nodded politely to Silverpaw as he passed with Ashkit.
(may I ask if we are in forest or lake territory?)
(Yes, ZFox, you may ask. I'm gonna say lake.)
Silverpaw nodded back to Hawkwillow as she left camp. Her thoughts quickly drifted to the ThunderClan apprentice, Shadepaw, as she walked through the forest. She remembered him winking at her, and blushed. She wondered if he would be at the Gathering, but was distracted from her thoughts when she ran into a tree. On the plus side, she caught some mice to bring back to camp.
Meanwhile, Dewpaw left the elders' den and began looking for her sister. Swanpaw came out of the medicine cats' den, her fur smelling like herbs.
ashpaw nodded shyly"sure" ((srry im kinda busy due to the sickness
(It's fine! You're not sick are you? Cause if you are, then I'm gonna be really worried.)
