Fernheart felt her heart sink when Dustfire went to train his apprentice rather than congratulate her. She sighed, ears flat. She supposed that was more important.
Birchstep purred. "I'm glad you're an apprentice."

Grasslight approached Fernheart, purring brightly. "Congratulations on getting your name! You'll make a great moor-runner." She praised, always delighting in ceremonies.
Blacktail watched Sunpaw and Birchstep with a patient smile, happy to see both looking happy after the attack. He was glad Windclan fought to keep Sunpaw.

Dustfire purred. "Of coure we're going to see the tunnels! You're a tunneler, aren't you?"
Sunpaw purred then looked at Blacktail "Can I go with my mentor now?" HE asked his father.

Splashpaw smiled brightly. "Yeah! Yeah, I am a tunnler now!" He cheered.
Blacktail glanced between Sunpaw and Birchstep, but did not speak, not one to talk alot.

Birchstep chuckled and nosed his son towards his mentor. "Go on." He said. "Be good for Blacktail."
Fernheart didn't perk up much at Graslight. "Thanks." She glanced at her.

Blacktail gave a respectful nod to Birchstep, purring. "I'll have him back in time so you can spend time out of camp with him. It's a special moment to be able to hunt and work with your kin." He mewed deeply, before turning to lead Sunpaw on his first day out.
Grasslight shuffled paw to paw, green eyes blinking. "No problem! I remember my ceremony, I was off the hills! Hey...you gonna join a patrol soon?" She asked.

"I suppose I'll do what the senior warriors tell me." Fernheart meowed. "I have to sit vigil soon though."

"Yea, that certainly sounds true! Ugh, the vigil. Sitting still and quiet was not my forte." Grasslight chuckled sheepishly. She admitted. "Well, I certainly hope to hunt or patrol with you alot. Call me cheesy, but I like making friends with anyone I can...apparently not Dashclaw though." She huffed almost bitterly, before shaking her head.
"Nevermind me! This is your day! Want me to get ya anything?" She asked.

"I'm fine." Fernheart looked at her. She was upset about Dustfire and wasn't sure what to do.

"Well, alright! Just holler if you ever need me, got it?" Grasslight nodded to the younger she-cat. She mewed. "I should probably go find Hopepaw. Perk up, she-cat! The moors are yours to command now!" The energetic warrior gave Fernheart a friendly flick with her tail, before turning to look for her apprentice.
Beetleclaw groomed his pelt slowly, unable to get his mind off of Heathersky. She was ruining him in every way...why couldn't he get her out of his heart? He sighed heavily.

Dustfire purred "well let's go then!" He said, trotting out of camp, beckoning Splashpaw to follow
Sunpaw purred and padded over towards Blacktail.

Russetpelt smiled at Furypaw's enthusiasm, remembering her first day as an apprentice. "I'll show you our territory first." She said, flicking her tail. "Then I'll show you some battle moves and how to hunt tomorrow." She promised the young cat.

Splashpaw followed quickly, his dark brown fur ruffled in excitement, yet also with anxiety. What if they ran into Thunderclan cats again? He swallowed, but steeled himself.
Blacktail glanced at Sunpaw, humming with calm humor. "I hear you've been rather indecisive about exactly what you wanted to be. No need to fear. The line between Tunnler and Moor-Runner is thinner than most of the clan makes it out to be." He assured. He then mewed. "Today we'll tour the moors...and find the tunnel entrances while we're at it. You may be a tunnler, but knowing what's above you is as crucial as what's below you." He informed wisely.
Furykit cheered. "Sounds awesome! Let's go!" She begged, jumping in impatience and delight, as she nudged Russetpelt.

Dustfire padded out of camp and towards the entrance of the tunnel closest to camp. "Okay we're about to go in." He said, turning to his apprentice. "Since this is your first time, stick close to me. You wont be able to see down there, so it's important you follow me."
Sunpaw nodded energetically. "Okay!" he said, his tail straight in the air in excitement.

Splashpaw felt relieved. He'd prefer not seeing anything, knowing no Thunderclan cat would voluntarily enter these tunnels. He was safe and blind down here, and that felt nice. He followed his mentor and mewed. "How do I know not to bump into the wall?"
Blacktail nodded quietly, before he padded at a slightly faster pace towards a sloping hill. He glanced at Sunpaw and hummed. "The moors are lovely to see when you are atop a hill. Lift your nose, Sunpaw, so the wind blows towards it. That means you are downwind, the right spot for hunting. Describe to me any scent you smell."

((Hey Ice I can do Soulkit's ceremony))
Dustfire entered the tunnel "Feel along the wall with your whiskers., most of the tunnels are big enough that we can walk without hitting one of the sides, but some of them are pretty narrow. Just use your whiskers to guide you through."
Sunpaw opened his mouth. "I scent....rabbit for sure.....and...ThunderClan." He sighed. Even though the battle was over, he blamed himself for it happening in the first place, and if their scent was all over the moor would there be any prey left?

Splashpaw nodded carefully, letting his whiskers twitch as they finally began to enter the tunnels. The walls enclosed him, and he gave a smile. It reminded him of when he would burrow under his mother's belly as a kit. He smiled. "I already feel right down here."
Blacktail nodded in approval. He mewed. "Yes. The scents are rabbit and...Thunderclan. I can see your tension. I'll tell you right now that as your mentor, I also want to help you with anything that troubles you. I've lived longer than most cats in the clan currently, though I'm not super old, so I doubt anything you tell me could rustle me." He humored, before looking serious.
"You can always talk to me about your troubles."

Rainfeather glanced at Soulkit as she was clearing out her nest in the nursery. She looked around solemnly. After Soulkit, this nursery would be completely empty...and Rainfeather found that to be a bit chilling. She purred kindly to Soulkit.
"You'll be in a new den soon, little one. I'm happy to see you've come so far." She sadly pawed up her nest, ready to return to warrior duties.

Soulkit looked over at Rainfeather and shrugged, "Yeah, I guess." She mewed.

Rainfeather gave a gentle smile in response, sitting next to her piled up nest and waiting to see if Swiftstar would call Soulkit out soon. Rainfeather wanted to be the last to leave this den.

Dustfire purred. "The tunnels can do that. They're a perfect place to think or just be alone. You have to be careful though, they can be dangerous too. Tunnels can collapse, or you could get lost. It's important to be alert and to stay by me, especially in the first part of your training."
Sunpaw nodded silently, wishing he hadn't said anything. He didn't need to have the whole clan worrying about him, or his problems. He needed to focus on training right now.

"Okay. I'll stick close." Splashpaw promised to his mentor, excited to be down here. He felt a light draft on his nose and he mewed. "There's moving air down here!" He smiled.
Blacktail gazed at him for a moment, before turning his gaze back to the moors. He stopped at the top of the hill, looking out across the sprawling territory. "It's such a lovely sight, isn't it? Scarstar was rather old when she mentored me, but she could run just fine. I'm not the fastest...but it feels nice to roam across here. Down below us is where some good tunnels are."

Swiftstar leaped onto Tall Rock "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath tall rock for a clan meeting!" He waited for the clan to assemble. "It has been a long time since WindClan has been without kits, however this means that the kits we do have are growing up to be strong and healthy warriors. Soulkit, it is your turn to join the ranks of apprenticeship, please step forward. You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Soulpaw. Your mentor with be Heathersky. May she pass on all she has learned."

Dustfire nodded. "That's right. In order for us to breathe we make sure there are plenty of tunnel entrances and exits, which means plenty of fresh air." He paused for a minute. "Is there anything else you can scent?"
Sunpaw turned to Blacktail, eyes wide. "Scarstar was your mentor?" He had heard of the leader before Swiftstar, but it had been before he was born.

Splashpaw lifted his nose, grinning widely. "Rabbit...and, erm. Oh! I scent other cats. Like my big brother, Stonepath!" He cheered.
Blacktail gave a light hum. "Yes. See, when I was your age, I too was unsure what I wanted to be. Rainfeather and Beetleclaw were dead-set on being moor-runners. My brother Boulderfoot and most of my family were tunnlers...but, I liked running as much as digging. I wanted to be with Boulderfoot but...I liked playing with Beetleclaw and Rainfeather too. So Scarstar decided to train me under her. She was so open-minded, Sunpaw. She'd go learn tunnling to get closer to her clanmates, even as a moor-runner herself. She was such an inspiration." Blacktail praised.
