Sakurapaw padded over the sand, her paws flicking up sand. She sniffed the air and smelled some watermint. She padded over to it and bit off half of it. She wrapped it in the beech leaf and dropped it. She sighed and breathed in the salty, ocean air.

As they headed towards the beach, Raven explained the medicinal value of some of the herbs.
"Poppy seeds are used to numb pain and make a cat very sleepy. Cobwebs are used to stop bleeding. Feverfew are used to cool feverish cats and treat head pain, and Borage leaves are used to treat fevers and helps nursing mothers with their milk supply."

Sakurapaw shook her head. "I'm taking in everything. But do you think you could teach me what it means when I find it, and review me with what it does when we use it? That might make it easier for me....." She looked over the ocean and sniffed again. She padded over to a small clump of ferns. She pulled some cobwebs from it and pushed it into the beech leaf.

"Of course," replied Raven. "But we shall begin your training tomorrow, after the Gathering."
"Since I will be travelling there as OceanClan's Medicine Cat, it is only fitting that you accompany me. Or would you rather stay in camp?" mewed Raven with a look of amusement. He was certain that Sakurapaw would not give up this opportunity. Imagine, the first Gathering of Clans!

Sakurapaw shrugged. "I think we should take this lot back to camp and get ready for the Gathering. I expect Shiningstar will want us to get to explore and talk before it starts." She picked up her beech leaf and blinked at Raven.

Raven gathered his herbs, and then they returned to OceanClan Camp. Raven had an errand to run before the gathering.
