"That's when you get creative." Lavendersky said simply, shaking her head. "There will be times when you have access to no herbs of any kind, or do not know what an herb is for because it is new." She said, thinking back on it. The days of the Dark Forest war had proved challenging in more ways than one.

"So, what tricks did you learn?" Spiderpaw looked back at his mentor. "What are some of your examples of being creative."

(Carps...Now I have to be creative! XD)
"There have been many times where I have used leaves to cover a wound instead of cobwebs and moss, and horsetail is also good for making a cat sneeze or vomit, not just for infection." Lavendersky meowed as she tipped her head towards him. "Placing smooth rocks in the sun for a while and then placing on a cat can also be used for joint pain."

(HAHAHAHAHA, one of the reasons why I don't like being a medicine cat XD
Oh, btw, I've started some research on the herbs we have on the Herbs PM. Its just some more research to help out cause I noticed there's not a herb on that page that tells us how to treat burns. I'll post a little at a time if you want to update the main post on that page. I'm even trying to deduce which territories each plant would grow in.)
Spiderpaw flicked his ear. "I never thought about that with rocks. Could be the same if you got them cold? I wish there was a way to keep rocks cold in green-leaf to help with different aches."

(Oh jeez, I literally ripped all that stuff off the wiki to be honest XD I wish I could update the PM, but of course, stupid thing, can't edit! I don't think they ever ran into burns in the original books, that's why there is no herb for it in my list...)
"Running through water keeps them cold, but the problem is getting to said water." Lavendersky said with a small huff.

(OH, duh x.X I knew you couldn't edit. Well, I'll make a post anyway and maybe we can create a new PM sometime that has everything. I'm not making it very far on the list, so I don't know how many I'll get through today.)
"Will the stream outside work?" Spiderpaw asked with a tilt of his head. (We updated SkyClan's territory. I believe I reposted it on the Joining Page. It'll also be on Blazer's new page when we move over.)

(I wish we could edit pms! I might sit down on Sunday if I remember and compile something together if you get the info to me.)
(It has?! Well, I have a blind kitty, so that helps me XD) Lavendersky blinked and tipped her head, having not actually left the camp very often as of recent. "Yes, the stream would work."

(I got some of the herbs updated and I posted them on that Pm. I basically just typed the herbs you had listed in google, looking up their growing conditions and their medical uses and put them on the post. Looking at their growing conditions, I made suggestions to which territories they each grow in. There's a lot of herbs though, so it'll take a while xD)
(Yeah, since we didn't have a defined territory for SkyClan, I just created one. It hasn't been updated to this page, but I've added it to the Joining Page and Discussion page so people can see it. I also created some attributes for SkyClan cats for the Discussion Page, just so it gives SkyClan more depth to it and more ideas for members to rp.)
"But then the cat would be wet." Spiderpaw flicked his tail with thought. "A wet rock placed in the cooler areas of the cliffs might cool them down faster and when they dry they can be used for pains."

(Yes, there are a lot of herbs. It's probably extended since the prequel came out, which I made the list before that series dropped I think.)
Lavendersky nodded a bit as she listened to him, "See what I mean? Being creative. There is a whole method for aches and pains that does not even involve herbs."

(I'm not about to do research on a million herbs XD I'm content with what we got)
Spiderpaw grew quiet in contemplation, his snappy demeanor slipping way. "I wonder what else we could come up with. Especially for when more cats show up with cracked pads."

"I will take you one day, I promise you," Spiritstar spoke nodding her head. All apprentices should take a trip but she knew with Adderclan that journey was discarded.

"As much as I appreciate that Spiritstar, I would like for you to take my kits first." Splashecho smiled softly down at Flyingkit and her siblings. "I want them to know StarClan's light more than seeing it for myself."

"Are you sure?" Spiritstar spoke looking at her softly her tail curled around her paws. She looked rather interested hearing her niece tell her to take her kits first though she wasnt surprised by it, "I will make sure the tradition continues. I'll take them one day," she promised her.

Splashecho nodded. "I'm sure, Spiritstar. They're the future of the CLan, so they're more important."

"Cracked pads...Honestly, soaking moss in water and pressing that against the pads has worked some in the past. I've also just wrapped many paws in cobwebs." Lavendersky meowed simply.

"One day I promise you I will take you," Spiritstar nodded her head to her, "You wont be forgotten about. It is a right of passage after all," she told her sitting a bit straighter.

"Does grass have any help to them?" Spiderpaw asked calmly. "If a cracked pad is soaked and wrapped with damp grass would that help?"

Splashecho purred softly. "So, I've heard. I wish it hadn't stopped."

"Depends on the grass I suppose. Most grass is not tall or wide enough to really be used as a wrap. Grass is good for an upset belly though." Lavendersky said with twitching whiskers.

"I wish things had been different," Spiritstar sighed tilting her head to look up at the sky, "Sometimes I wonder if the forest would have been better off if my mother and father hadnt broken the code. Would the forest have been saved from darkness?" she spoke her voice was rather soft.

Spiderpaw nodded and commited Lavendersky's comment about grass to memory. "I guess the oak leaves would be better for wraps."
Splashecho looked at her aunt and tilted her ears back at her question. It was a heavy question and not one Splashecho wanted to answer especially since it meant that she and her kits wouldn't be around either if Hiddenface hadn't broken the code.

Lavendersky listened to him and gave a soft huff, "As I said, being a medicine cat means being prepared, even if that preparedness is being creative."

A breath escaped the she-cat still looking up at the sky, "There are so many things that I wish had gone differently. Why our family was targeted above anyone elses...," she shook her head, "We may never know an answer but in the end we cant change the past," she paused looking back at Splashecho, "We can only try to make the future better. Though I wouldnt change having you and your kits in my life. Those nieces and nephews I also have in Riverclan as well," she smiled softly.

"Then I'm going to be most creative!" Spiderpaw stated boldly. "I'll think of things that no medicine cat has done before!"
Splashecho smiled softly at Spiritstar's words and she gave a loving purr when she looked down at her kits. However, at the mention of RiverClan, she grew quiet. She only really knew Deadpath over there since he had come here looking for their help. He left without saying good-bye, Splashecho thought sadly. She didn't see how Deadpath could've been a SkyClan warrior, but his ground skills were strong. He hadn't seen very happy before he left, there was something...dark about him. However, she heard the tales they told about him from the last gathering. Deadpath was happier in RiverClan. I guess that's where he belongs.

Lavendersky snickered softly, listening to her apprentice. "I am sure you will Spiderpaw."

"Do you think..." Spiderpaw suddenly shrugged, his voice growing quiet and almost...bashful. "Do you think I'm close to becoming a full medicine cat yet?"

Post by Scarfur on Sept 30, 2020 22:16:45 GMT -5
Lavendersky blinked and tilted her head towards him, "Perhaps." She said with a slight twitch of her muzzle. She had originally planned on naming him at the last gathering, but with the fire...They missed it.

"I know we are in different clans now but they will always be family...be our blood. They are hope for a brighter future," Spiritstar spoke looking towards the kits below them her heart melting just thinking what it would be like to have them.

Spiderpaw frowned at her. She always did this whenever he felt he had an important question. Stupid, vague, blind medicine cat. Yet, he respected her more than any other cat in the forest. "Oh."
"At least here and in RiverClan they are," Splashecho muttered softly. She didn't believe any good could from Cliffheart in ShadowClan.

Lavendersky got to her paws and stretched, turning her head about as if she was looking around. "We should start checking on the rest of the clan."
