"Very good," purred Raven. "Use all your senses when deciding what ails a cat. You could smell the saltwater."
Raven was glad to see that Sakurakit was so eager to learn!

Sakurakit dipped her head and smiled. She was happy that Raven was going to be her mentor, but she didn't want to let him know. She lifted her eyes and looked at Raven with those soft, kitten eyes. "Can you teach me how to care for her before I'm an apprentice?"

"Taking care of ailments requires a lot of experience, and only time - or StarClan - can give that to you. I knew that Tallkit had just a small amount of seawater in her. If there had been more, she would have been worse off, and I would have kneaded her stomach until she threw up the saltwater. Then I would have given her Honey and Waterming as well."
Raven enjoyed sharing his StarClan gifted knowledge with Sakurakit.

Silver opened her eyes sleepily and hissed with alarm when she saw two cats standing over her, looking at Tallkit beside her. Her neck fur relaxed when she saw it was Sakurakit and Raven. "Raven, can you make sure Sakurakit gets to bed soon? It's getting late." Sakurakit moaned softly but settled down next to her mother, her eyes shining. "Well, g'night Raven!" she meowed as she nestled next to her mother. "And can you look at Tallkit with me tomorrow? Please? I bet she needs borage leaves and juniper berries and maybe some yarrow and she'll be better." Her eyes drooped quickly until she was softly snoring next to her mother.

Shiningstar stood p and stretched. Her eyes shined as she padded out of her den and hopped up on the stump. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highstump for a Clan meeting!"

Sakurakit padded out of her den. Tallpaw raced past her. The two padded over to the Highstump, their fur shining from recent grooming. Silver followed them and settled down under the Highstump next to Blizzard. Dawn and Midnight followed them.

Shiningstar settled into her usual spot and yowled, "Today we have an important ceremony to hold. Come here, Sakurakit and Tallkit." Sakurakit and Tallkit padded forward, eyes shining. Sakurakit seemed lost in some distant, happy thought. "From this day forth, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice shall be known as Tallpaw!" Shiningstar rested her head on Tallpaw's head and Tallpaw gave her shoulder a respectful lick. "From this day forth, this apprentice shall be known as Sakurapaw! Raven, you are ready for your first apprentice. You will be her mentor." Sakurapwa bounced over to Raven and the two touched noses. Shiningstar dipped her head in approval and jumped off the Highstump.

Raven beamed with pleasure. Sakurapaw would be an outstanding apprentice. He looked at her with approval and thought towards Sakurapaw, "I imagine you already KNEW about this? You are no longer a kit!"
"Now you are my apprentice," meowed Raven. "I have the highest of expectations for you, Sakurapaw.

Sakurapaw padded back into camp, the beech leaf stuffed with watermint, cobwebs, and moss. She knew they needed more herbs, but she could find more after the Gathering. She padded into their den and set the leaf down on the rock table. She opened it with her claw and pulled the cobwebs out carefully. She set them on the shelf and pulled out the stalks of watermint. She placed them next to the cobwebs. She dropped the moss in a small heap next to Raven's nest and sat down, licking her lips in anticipation for the Gathering.

Raven watched while Sakurapaw sorted out her herbs, nodding as she placed them in their correct places. Then he put his herbs away.
"Sakurapaw, I need to leave camp for a while. While I am gone, would you please check on the other cats? Make sure they are all feeling well. Once I return, we can tend to any that are not feeling up to snuff!"

Shiningstar emerged from her den and leaped on to the Highstump. "I wish for these cats to accompany me to the Gathering: Raven, Sakurapaw, Blackstripe, Silver, Roseplt, and Twilight. Nightshade, you're in charge until we get back." She jumped off the Highstump and yowled for the cats she'd chosen to come. Sakurapaw, Blackstripe, Silver, Rosepelt, and Twilight emerged from their dens and padded to her. They left the camp with broad smiles and twitching whiskers.

Blizzard woke up in the apprentices den. THe Gathering was taking a while! he wondered how long it would be before Shadow would find him... He shook his head and stood up. He pushed his way out and yawned at the sun. He grabbed a juicy mouse from the pile and ate it in several bites. The trees had some of their leaves back and were growing buds. Newleaf was here! He smiled and stretched under the warm sun. He curled up and drifted off into a warm nap.

((I know the Gathering is going on, but let's just pretend this is AFTER they get back.))
Shiningstar jumped up on Highstump and yowled, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highstump for a Clan meeting!" All the cats emerged and sat down. Shiningstar flicked her tail. "I need Dawn, Blizzard, Silver, Twilight, Midnight, and Flame to come forth." The 6 cats padded forward. "I, Shiningstar, leader of OceanClan, call opon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard in the ways of your noble code so I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Do you pledge to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" The six cats nodded their heads and meowed as one, "I do." "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. You will be Dawnmist, Blizzardfur, Silverflash, Twilighteyes, Midnightpelt, and Flamefoot." Shiningstar purred with amusement as her Clan eagerly tried to call the new warriors by name. The six dipped their heads and took turns touching noses to their leader's shoulder and getting licked on the forehead. They all turned and padded away. Shiningstar leaped off the Highstump and sat down in front of it.

"Tonight, you six will sit vigil and guard the camp while we sleep." Shiningstar nodded to her Clan and pushed her way back into her den.
Dawn, Midnight, Blizzard, and Silver glanced at eachother with excited looks. They sat down at the edges of camp and watched the easiest ways into camp for signs of intruders.
Sakurapaw purred and smiled. "I can't wait for my ceremony!" She thought eagerly. She turned around and padded back into the medicine cats den.

Flamefoot purred loudly at Midnight he was a warrior, he still thanked Shadow for teaching him well and for that he was proud.

Shiningstar nodded. "Yes they are. From now on, until they have earned their warrior names, these two shall be known as Goldenpaw and Elkpaw. Blackstripe, you will mentor Goldenpaw and Leafclaw will mentor Elkpaw." The four cats touched noses and padded away. Shiningstar jumped off the Highstump and curled up next to it. She fell asleep in the afternoon sun.

Shiningstar pulled herself out of her den. "I know we just got back from the Gathering yesterday, another Gathering is today. I would like to send a messenger to tell the other leaders that we won't be having a gathering today. We will wait for the next full moon." She gazed over her cats. "Silverflash, I want you to tell the other leaders that there is no need to come back for a Gathering today." Silverflash dipped her head. "Mother, may I bring Sakurapaw with me? We can cover more ground that way." Shiningstar dipped her head. "Yes that would be best." Silverflash gathered her daughter a sweep of her tail and the two silver cats flew out of the camp.
