Ravenwing The medicine cat nodded "Very good. It has been an unusual moon, it's unfortunate this is your first time, but do not let it worry you." their first time had had them interacting with an elder Ravenwing had gotten along with. It had been a good experience, but had also happened in a time of peace and good weather. "As soon as Rainfern has awoken we will give you your full name." they assured, hoping to take Woodpaws mind off of her experience.

(Sorry I forgot about Wolfmist and Meadowsweet oops!)
🌙 Wolfmist shuddered at the thought of having to face all her ancestors. She'd done quite a few stupid things in her past and she definitely didn't want to think of all her dead relatives staring down at everything she did from above. "Hmmm." She mumbled thoughtfully. "It would make me incredibly nervous to be honest, and I'm not even an apprentice." She grinned, luckily she wouldn't have to face Starclan. That was Woodpaw and her sibling's problem. She liked to be able to have a casual talk with the Sunclan warrior; they had been on a few journeys to the Crystal together before and it was a long trip, so why not have some friendly chatter to kill the time?
🌙 Thistlepaw excitedly trotted after the deputy, making sure Berrypaw was following closely behind. "Oh uhm.. not really. Maybe some hunting?" The apprentice suggested, he'd been out doing battletraining with Morningleap before so training something different would be nice. Besides, Berrypaw probably wouldn't be too eager to spar with him.
☀️ Rainfern had stirren awake from his dream, a bewildered look in his round pale green eyes. As the emotions of his 'meeting' with Starclan ebbed away he tried to make sense of what he had just witnessed. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Was it a warning? If they wanted to warn him, they would've talked to him, right? The large tom forced his fur to lie flat again as he heard his name being mentioned. With a shake of his fur he managed to look slightly calmed down.

Sunclan: Russetstep had paced about as he waited for the meeting to end, he wasn't impatient by any means he just didn't like the thought of being around cats he didn't know all to well, granted was his own fault for being introverted with his own clanmates. The tom's ear twitching as he was lost in thought. He looked briefly to the direction that led further to the mainland, he scented something off, but it seemed old so he didn't bother dwelling on it.

(Hope you don't mind me coming up with something for these two haha)
Sunclan;
Meadowsweet laughed gently, "Me too so maybe it's a good thing neither of us were picked for the role, hm?" Her unease from earlier had ebbed now that she was conversing with Wolfmist. The night seemed peaceful, "It's been a while since we talked like this," She remarked, thinking back to previous trips. As an apprentice, she had been more rambunctious then she was now, and she remembered getting along well with the other she-cat. Since then, Meadowsweet had mellowed out some, the two drifting in consequence. It was nice to talk like this now.
Moonclan;
"Hunting it is," Seastep nodded and began to lead the two apprentice out through the tunnel. The tom could feel his fur prickle along his spine. Clouds were beginning to darken the sky. It was in the distance, but it still unnerved him, "What have you already learned from your mentors?" A small seed of dread took root in the deputy. Was there going to be a storm? He didn't want to let Thistlepaw and Berrypaw down by immediately turning back around. If it gets any worse we'll go straight back, he decided.

MoonClan: Woodpaw shook her fur out. This was it! She was finally going to be a medicine-cat! Excitement surge through her, but at the same time a prick of doubt was there. Her entire Clan would be depending on her! Could she handle it? She pushed the thought away. Of course I can! Ive been trained for this! Then she straightened up and waited for Ravenwing to make the announcement.

Ravenwing "Rainfern, if there is nothing else you would like to discuss, Woodpaw has earned her full name. I hope you will give is a moment to make it official." the medicine cat meowed, dipping their head slightly in Rainferns direction. The other medicine cat seemed slightly flustered, but Woodpaw was looking forward to this and they wanted it to be a good memory for her.

Berrypaw - Moonclan Clearing Berrypaw watched in silence for a moment while Thistelpaw and Seastep talked. She didn't really want to interrupt or anything like that, so instead she stayed quiet until Seastep asked a question. "I haven't really trained with my mentor yet." Berrypaw mewed shyly, a bit embarrassed by the fact she didn't know anything most other apprentices did.

(No it’s great!)
🌙 “Oof, I would be the worst medicine cat.” Wolfmist laughed with the Sunclan warrior, she could already imagine herself fumbling with herbs and prancing around preaching about omens and Starclan. No, that definitely wasn’t her thing. She nodded at Meadowsweet’s next comment. The Sunclan she-cat was right, it had been a while since they had been able to chat so freely. Wolfmist had never been one to make close friends with the other clan, though now that she was more mature she’d been able to connect more with them. Instead of seeing them like ‘the enemy’ like she did as an apprentice. However, she’d found a friend in Meadowsweet - then Meadowpaw - early on. Which was a connection she always treasured, even though they seemed to have grown apart since they became warriors. She had been a big part of that herself; her extreme loyalty and eagerness to prove herself to Moonclan had overshadowed their friendship and Meadowsweet didn’t match her energy like she did before - which was understandable in some way. “I guess we’ve become the boring grownups we always laughed at.” The gray-white she-cat chuckled.
🌙 Thistlepaw thought for a moment as they walked. “I’m fine with going over the basics again so Berrypaw can learn.” He meowed, glancing over at the other apprentice. With Morningleap he had learned a few hunting moves and he wondered if he had already forgotten something. It was nice to freshen up the basics. Unfortunately it didn’t seem to be the best weather to go out as it suddenly became darker with gray clouds hanging over them.
☀️ Rainfern exchanged a glance with the Moonclan medicine cat, he understood that this was an important moment for Woodpaw and decided to keep his mouth shut. He dipped his head at the two medicine cats. “Ofcourse, take your time.” The gray tom curled his tail over his paws, pushing the worries that rushed through his mind to the back of his head. He’d wait to tell Ravenwing about what he’d seen until after Woodpaw’s ceremony. Or maybe during their walk back to clan territory. A shiver ran over his spine, cold air breezing through the small cave. A storm seemed to have picked up outside.

Sunclan;
Meadowsweet smiled, her tail swishing over the ground. If she stayed still for too long without moving, she'd end up falling asleep like Morningleap, "If this is boring, boring is fine with me. Although, I do miss getting shouted at by the elders with you," She joked, then recalled something, "I hear you have an apprentice of your own now?" Both of them mentors. Time had flown since the two of them had been 'paws, "I'm sure they're just as energetic as you were."
Moonclan;
Once they were a little further from camp, but not so far that it would take them long to return, Seastep halted, "Then, we probably ought to start with the hunter's crouch," He meowed, turning to face them. This would be a good opportunity to see how Thistlepaw was doing. Berrypaw, on the otherpaw, was clearly behind so he wanted to get her caught up with her den-mates, "Thistlepaw, could you demonstrate for us?"

Ravenwing They thanked Rainfern and cleared their throat. It wasn't hard to remember the correct wording for the ceremony, but it was wordy "I, Ravenwing, medicine cat of Moonclan, call upon our ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat." they looked to Woodpaw "Woodpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?"

Berrypaw - Somewhere in Moonclan Territory Berrypaw nodded and turned to Thistlepaw so she could watch. The hunters crouch sounded pretty basic, so she thought it would be easy to catch up on this part of training quickly. Berrypaw casually sat down as to get a better and more comfortable view of the demonstration.

Moonclan
Ravenwing They nodded, waiting for Woodpaw to speak before continuing "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. From this moment you will be known as Woodflower. StarClan honors your dedication and kindness, and we welcome you as a full medicine cat of Moonclan." they took a step towards Woodflower, resting their muzzle on the new medicine cats head. Woodflower had grown quickly, they felt like it was just yesterday that Woodkit had asked to become their apprentice.

MoonClan: Woodflower felt a thrill go through her at Ravenwings words. Woodflower! What a beautiful name! She looked at the cats around her calling her name, and her eyes shone in the light of the crystal. "Woodflower." She breathed. That was her name! Then she straightened up and and spoke. "I am honored to have my name, and walk in the path of countless other amazing medicine-cats before me-". She cut off. Was she meant to make a speech? She struggled for words and eventually just gave up and said, "Well that was not how I was planning my first words as a medicine-cat to go". Even though she had messed up, there was a newfound confidence that was not there before.

Ravenwing "It's ok, not many attempt a speech." they teased lightly, smiling warmly at Woodflower. With that complete, Ravenwing stood and stretched "Let's go then. I am sure the warriors outside have grown bored. They are not known for their patience." they definitely thought that warriors weren't nearly as good as sitting and dreaming as the medicine cats were. Ravenwing glanced to Rainfern, waiting to see if the other medicine cat had anything left to say.

MoonClan: Woodflower chuckled at her former mentors words. She did wonder how the warriors were getting on. She would have to wonder that all the time now, as warriors like them would be the cats she has to treat. Woodflower glanced at Rainfern, and he seemed a little shooken to her. As they walked back to the warriors, she hoped that all the cats back at camp were doing ok and that nothing had happened while they were gone. She decided to fall in beside Rainfern. "Rainfern, are you ok?", she asked.
(Btw what season is it for them?)

🌙"Oh yeah, those were the times." Wolfmist chuckled at Meadowsweet's comment, together they had been a handful at the gatherings as apprentices. She nodded at the Sunclan warrior. "You're not going to believe this, but Flashpaw is actually more energetic. Always bugging me for training." She smiled, Flashpaw was a good apprentice. She wasn't sure whether another mentor would've been able to cope with her eagerness. "But you have one too, right?"
☀️Rainfern had chanted Woodflower's new name with Ravenwing, welcoming the former apprentice as a full medicine cat. He raised to his paws to leave after the other cats, cold wind hitting him in his face as they walked out of the cave. At Woodflower's question he nodded softly. "Just a lot to think about. Starclan has been quite vague lately." The tom replied while he mulled over his dream again.
🌙 "Sure!" Thistlepaw nodded and he set his eyes on a small rock in front of him. He dropped low on his four paws, the long white hairs on his belly touching the ground beneath him. Slowly he stalked towards the object, bursting into a run when he neared it. With his paw he patted at the rock, then he raised his head to look at his clanmates.

Sunclan;
Meadowsweet laughed again at that, "More? Great Starclan," That was good though. Flashpaw sounded as though she would make a good warrior if that was the case, "I do! Koipaw," She smiled fondly at the thought of the young tom, "He's quiet but bright. I think he lacks a lot of confidence," Still, he was already taking some great steps and it was rewarding to see him grow, "Sounds like the two of them are quite different!"
Moonclan;
Seastep watched, amused. He hadn't asked the apprentice to pounce, but he appreciated the initiative he had taken. His technique had been solid too, "Good. Berrypaw, how about you give it a go?" He dropped down into the hunter's crouch to demonstrate and motioned over to the rock, "Copy Thistlepaw."

Ravenwing The medicine cat listened to the two others talk, wondering if Rainfern had a similar experience to them. Finally they arrived back to where the warriors waited "We have returned." they mewed, startling Morningleap out of his light sleep. The warrior yawned and stretched out. Ravenwing looked down at him skeptically, but they didn't say anything. It was not their place to scold a sleep warrior, especially when he had technically done nothing wrong.

Berrypaw - Moonclan Berrypaw nodded and she tried to copy what Thistlepaw had done. She slowly dropped into a crouch, trying to make it look like she knew what she was doing. "Like this?" She mewed before she pounced forward. Berrypaw had no idea what she was doing, and she knew she probably wasn't doing well.

Moonclan;
Seastep scrutinised Berrypaw's crouch. "Not bad." He assured her and lightly tapped her shoulders to correct her form. "Draw your paws in a bit further and try to keep your tail off the ground." He lowered himself back into a crouch, raising his tail so that it didn't disturb the foliage. He began to stalk foreword, then launched himself at the rock. "Like this."
Sunclan;
Meadowsweet looked up from her conversation with Wolfmist at the sound of paw steps. The medicine cats had clearly finished meeting with Starclan. "Hey." She smiled. Woodpaw of Moonclan looked happy; she must have gotten her name. "Are we heading back?"

MoonClan: Woodflower pulled away from Rainfern, satisfied with his answer. She looked upas Meadowsweet spoke, and smiled back. "I got my name!" she mewed cheerfully. It seemed strange to socialize with a SunClan cat, but she ignored the feeling. She was a medicine cat, and they didn't have the same borders as warriors did.

🌙 Thistlepaw moved away from the rock and sat down to watch Berrypaw, his face focussed and concentrated on the she-cat and the deputy’s moves. Seastep’s form looked perfect and Thistlepaw hoped he could copy it the next time he came across some real prey. Berrypaw didn’t seem to do too bad either for a first time.
🌙 Wolfmist nodded at Meadowsweet. “It does seem so. I’m sure you can help Koipaw grow the confidence he needs to become a fine warrior.” The warrior’s ears perked up as she glanced at the returning medicine cats. She couldn’t help but chuckle softly at Ravenwing’s skeptical gaze at Morningleap, the siblings shared a sense of discomfort at the sight of lesser ‘enthousiastic’ members of the clan. Standing up to stretch her legs she glanced questioningly at the medicine cats, waiting for their sign to leave.
☀️ Rainfern dipped his head to the warriors. “Yes, let’s return to the island. I’ll need to grab some herbs along the way if we find them.” He meowed and lead the group of cats away from the Crystal. Looking back over his shoulder one last time worry still clouded his pale green eyes and a feeling of dread started to grow inside of him. He’d need to see Emberstar as soon as possible to tell him about the meeting and share his worries with the leader. Hopefully he had more luck staying in touch with their ancestors but he was afraid that wouldn’t be the case.
With a few bundles of herbs hanging form his jaws he walked in front of the cats, his pace fast and determined, his nose up in the air. On the way there they had found a few of the other herbs he needed already, like chamomile and catmint but he still needed to find some borage leaves. Especially since Pinestripe would be giving birth soon. It was his duty to make sure she’d have all the resources to have a healthy birth and a healthy stay in the nursery.
After they had crossed a few fox-lengths he picked up the faint scent of the borageplant in the air. His tail held up high and waving from side to side he signalled for the other cats to stay behind him as he went to check out the herb patch. It was somewhat hidden between undergrowth and tree roots. The stormy wind made it hard for the medicine cat to determine whether dangers loomed around. He wanted to take this chance though, Sunclan needed it. Their stock would run out and the deseased herbs on the island were no use anymore. Warily the large tom stepped forward his gaze set on the geen leaves. The stale scent of badgers seemed to linger around but it wasn’t strong enough to worry Rainfern yet. So the tom continued towards the patch of herbs and gently started tugging the soft green leaves of the plant.
Unexpectedly a large dark creature leapt from behind a treeroot nearby Rainfern, his yellow fangs bared and growling sounds escaping from it’s jaws. At the sound of something similar to a signal, another one of the creatures leapt after it, setting their eyes on the dappled gray tom and his companions. In a heartbeat the first animal pummeled Rainfern into the ground. The wind had blown away from the medicine cat, he hadn’t noticed their fresh scents. As he fell to the ground he was shocked at the sudden attack and scolded himself for not being more aware of his surroundings. Jumping back to his paws with adrenaline rushing through his veins he raked his claws over the attacker’s face, which turned out to be a badger agressively protecting it’s territory. While Rainfern focussed on the first badger, the other one attacked him on the other side. The badger clenched his jaws on Rainfern’s pelt, tugging him away from the other. There was no time left for fear, it all happened so fast. Rainfern lunged his claws at the two with all his might, he needed to get out of this alive but the two of them overpowered him. He needed to take care of Sunclan, he couldn’t leave them without a medicine cat. Starclan hadn’t even granted him the time to find an apprentice.
It didn’t matter anymore. The attack had stopped, his limp body laid at the treeroots in a pool of blood. The borage leaves still firmly clenched in his jaws. He watched the badgers run after the group of cats but his vision blurred. “Please.. p-please save Sunclan..” Rainfern never said ‘please’, he never pleaded but now he begged them. Unsure whether anyone had been able to hear him, fear and worry gripped him tightly one last time, accompanying him to plain empty darkness. With one last stir the pale green gaze of the medicine cat grew cold. This time he could see his ancestors more clearly than ever. They were waiting for him, as stars now shone in his own pelt.

MoonClan: Woodflower shrieked. Before she could do anything, the badgers were gone, satisfied with what they had done. "Rainfern! No!". She lunged towards the dying medicine-cat. "I need cobwebs!" she shouted to the warriors. "Theres a tree with a hole in it near here! It might have some! GO!" She pressed her paws over Rainfern's biggest wounds, and as she examined him, she realized it was too late. Woodflower felt his pulse. There was nothing. "He's gone." she whispered.

Morningleap and Ravenwing were quick to move into action, but everything happened so fast and unexpectedly. The warrior lunged at one of the badgers now no longer holding onto the medicine cat. Ravenwing moved just as fast as Woodflower to the medicine cats side, but they could tell even from a distance that there wasn't much they could do... Many years as a medicine cat had shown them just what types of wounds couldn't be healed, and the large gash left by the badgers was one of them. They gritted their teeth, angry that something like this had suddenly happened. But right now wasn't the time for panic "Woodflower," they ordered "Move back, make space." they doubted the badgers would come back for another, but until they were gone for certain Ravenwing about to have their apprentice die as well.
Seeing their fellow medicine cat laying there, fur stained scarlet, it hurt. Ravenwing wasn't one to wear their emotions on their paw, but Rainfern had been a good friend to them. They had been fellow medicine cats for a long time

(Wow. I'm sad lol)
Sunclan;
As the area exploded into chaos, Meadowsweet leapt to her paws, fur on end and eyes as wide as full moons. Without another thought, she launched herself at one of the badgers and slashed deep scores across it's side. Too late... Rainfern already lay bleeding out. As quickly as they had arrived, the attackers melted into the night, leaving the small band to stare down at the cat who had been Sunclan's medicine cat for many a season. Horror and fear flashed through Meadowsweet as she watched the medicine cats. She opened her mouth. Her voice was a croak. He can't be dead, right? That... didn't just happen. For a moment she could have almost convinced herself that she had simply fallen asleep while waiting for the medicine cats, but this was all too real.

From where Briarstar sat beneath high rock , she felt a shiver run through her spine like the world's coldest icicle had melted and dripped onto the back of her scruff . She stared off into the trees , as if trying to look for something that wasn't there . She felt an odd twist in her stomach , something she couldn't explain . What made her suddenly feel so worked up ? Everything seemed to be running well in camp ... She glanced up to the sky before flicking her tail and peering towards the empty Medicine Cat den . Se hoped whatever she was feeling didn't involve her clanmates ...
