Silvershadow was outside the warriors den sunning himself in the warm sunlight. He opened his two light green eyes as he saw Poppypaw walk outside the warriors den. "Good morning." He said in a welcoming voice walking over to her. "Are you ready to learn something new?" He asked more excited then usual.

 Ebonypaw opened her bright blue ees as she felt someone step on ehr tail. She sat up and looked around the apprentice den. She stood up and shook the moss from her fur and padded out into the clearing. She sat down and wrapped her tail around her paws as she look around at the other cats.

 Ivorypaw walked over to her sister. "Hello!" She said cheerfully.

Sunstrike gave a small yawn, a ripple of movement running down her spine. Curled up next to the curve of her belly were Lionkit and Leafkit, giving small snuffling squeaks as they dreamed. Giving a gentle purr the loving queen slowly shifted from her bed and slipped her head out the door.

'Good morning Boneshatter,' she mewed happily as she saw the large tom outside the den. 'How is the prey running?'

~

Stormfang crouched by the entrance to the camp, his ma.ssive stormy gray shoulders hunched against the cool wind of the night. He straightened almost immediately when the wind shifted, seniding the offending cloudbank scudding across the sky, and letting the sunlight fall onto his shoulders.

It's a good day for hunting, he thought with a smile.

~

Hawkgaze twtiched his tail with irritation as he entered the waking camp, jaws stuffed with the large feathered body of a quail. His yellow eyes flickered from cat to cat, and he only allowed himself a purr at the sight of Stormfang.

Padding to the fresh-kill pile the tom spat out the quail, giving his fur a few rough licks as he attempted to dislodge the feathers from his teeth.

~

Willowpaw sighed and padded out behind Poppypaw, her sleek black fur giving off red-hued flashes as she entered the sunlight.  "Morning,' she meowed with a yawn.

~

Whisperpaw groaned silently and gave Willowpaw a furious scowl as he stalked out past her, fluffy gray fur bristling with irritation. 'I was about to catch a rabbit,' he snapped crossly.

Whisperpaw grunted something under his breath but his tail flicked with amusement. 'Alright, I will then. And it'll be bigger than anything you've caught!' he meowed challengingly with a small purr.

~

Sunstrike inclined her head respectfully but she couldn't keep the purr of amusement out of her meow. 'Too big Boneshatter. Those two will soon be apprentices, and the sooner the better, for they're much too big now. Especially Lionkit. He's so like his father, large and muscular.' She gave a small sigh as she mentioned her old mate Pebblefur, but her voice was edged with caution. Not many cats took kindly to the fact that Pebblefur, a deceased warrior of this Clan, had been Sunstrike's mate for many seasons. Long enough for Willowpaw to be his kit.

~

Willowpaw nodded distractedly. 'I can't be late for my training with Whitestar. She gets as mad as a fox when I'm late. She meowed one last goodbye to Poppypaw and Whisperpaw and padded off, head held high with an excitement she could barely contain.

However strict Whitestar was, Willowpaw couldn't deny that her lessons were always the best.

~

Rosepaw yawned and nodded her small white head. 'Yes Limefeather,' she meowed dutifully. She slipped out of her nest and squeezed into the herb store, grabbing a few leaves of yarrow for Deathnote's cuts.

Padding out of the den she sniffed the air with a small sigh of content, glad to see that there were no arguments or battles going on within the clan. 

~

Hawkgaze sat hunched by the sunning rock, his powerful tabby shoulders slumped with exhaustion. He glanced at Nightstorm, who was licking her leg angrily, attacking the wound with an ex
pression of fury. 

‘How far did we chase it?’ he meowed, stifling a yawn.

~

Nightstorm looked up from her task with irritation glowing in her dark eyes. ‘To the border. That mangy badger won’t be bothering us again. And I managed to kill the kits when you were attacking it. Nothing to worry about.’ Her voice was scratchy and came out as barely a hiss, but she seemed inclined to ignore whatever advice Hawkgaze was about part with and sit on the sunning rock.

~

Foxpaw blinked her strange gray eyes as she sat in the shadows by the warrior’s den, her gray fur blending in with the stone walls behind her. Is Sabletail awake? She thought with a small sigh, turning her emotionless eyes on the sky above her.

Sunstrike smiled and bowed her head before slipping back into hte nursery, leaving Boneshatter to his mysterious mentoring duties.

~

Whisperpaw sighed. 'Me...but I think plenty of cats were already awake. There weren't too many complaints from what I've heard so far.' He gave her a small smile and rolled onto his back lazily, pawing at the air.

~

Rosepaw nodded shyly. 'Yarrow so your cuts don't get infected. I wouldn't try to evade this either. I don't want to be firm with you.' She gave a small frown at him, knowing how obstinate the tom could be, but she didn't say anything more, just waited patiently.

~

Foxpaw nodded. 'Hello Sabletail,' she meowed distractedly, scratching at an offending flea attached to her flank. 'I was wondering where you had been.'

{ Sabletail already has an apprentice, I'm sorry. }

{ I'm sure another cat can mentor Firepaw; if you're not sure who already has an apprentice, check the list on the first page; Its my second post on the thread, underneath Detneth's bios. :3 } 

[Stormfang can. He's free.]

Rosepaw glared at the senior warrior stubbornly. 'Either you use these herbs or I'll get Limefeather out here. You don't wish to bother her, do you?' The small she-cat gazed up at Deathnote with a twitch of her whiskers, eyes steady and serious.

~

Whisperpaw gave a small meowr of fear when he heard his mentor's meow. 'Oh, sorry Boneshatter. But I bet what you have planned is going to be amazing.' The look on his face faded from surprise to admiration of his mentor, a powerful and respected warrior.

~

Foxpaw sighed but got to her paws and trotted off in the direction she had last seen the two warriors. Luckily for the apprentice both had not left the sunning rock in the time she had spoken with Sabletail.

'Hawkgaze, Nightstorm! Sabletail wants you to go on a patrol with us,' she mewed respectfully, dipping her head quickly.

~

Hawkgaze nodded slowly. 'We need Ivorypaw first,' he meowed half to himself. 'Mmm..we'll go to Sabletail and sort out this patrol. If she's not awake by then I need you to fetch her. Alright?'

~

Nightstorm grumbled a few words under her breath before climbing to her feet stiffly. 'Argh, I'm as slow as a badger with these wounds,' she snarled angrily as she hopped off the rock.
