Meadowsweet looked thoughtful. "Well, I'm not in Emberstar's head, but I think he thought accepting help would make us look weak," she answered, trying to keep her tone neutral. "He's a proud cat. Never liked Briarstar much either." Whilst speaking, it occurred to her that she didn't know Emberstar very well. His pride was the tom's defining trait in her mind. "Not everyone agrees with his decisions, of course. I think we should have accepted Moonclan's aid."

(Ahh, okay thatβs good I guess!)
βοΈ Willowsong twitched her tailtip in silent disagreement. There was no point in going against him, he had already made up his mind. It hadnβt always been this way between them, some time ago they had even been close friends. It couldnβt seem further from the truth right now though. She glanced at the ginger tom with a look of shock when he told her Briarstar was responsible for his motherβs death. How? Why? Sheβd never expect that from the Moonclan leader.. But those were questions for another time.
Willowsong raised to her paws and dipped her head to Emberstar before she emerged from the den, the sun prickling her eyes after the long night. Seeing a few cats scattered around in the clearing now would be a good time to assign a border patrol. βSwanfeather, I appoint you to lead the dawn border patrol. You can take Russetstep and Sweetpaw with you, but you may choose any cat you like.β She meowed at the white she-cat, normally sheβd taken the time to lead a patrol herself but today she had to train Amberpaw too. Sleeping would have to wait until later. She turned around to search for the apprentice, her eyes catching his dark ginger fur near the apprentices den. βAh Amberpaw, ready to go?β She asked as she walked up to him, her tail falling loosely behind her step.
βοΈ Pinestripe nodded softly and purred at Ripplecatcherβs touch. βIβm not really hungry.β She admitted as she heaved her head to meet her mateβs gaze, her green eyes clouded with worry. βWhat should we do Ripplecatcher? Should I just leave to Moonclan? What about you? Oh.. Iβm just so worried.β The queen sighed and reached over to bury her nose in the gray tomβs fur, breathing in his comforting scent. This must be a very worrying time for him too. Pinestripe knew Ripplecatcher would be a great father to his kits, to take that away from him, those precious first moons.. It was cruel and unfair to have to make this choice.
βοΈ At Mallowpoolβs go-sign Tigerpaw took off after her mentor, it wasnβt easy to keep up with the experienced warrior but she gave it her best. Even if she almost never won from her it was always fun to try and she could see she was getting faster with every race they did. Leaping over twigs and bushes, the apprentice loved the thrill of running and he fresh forest air breezing through her whiskers.

Sunclan
Ripplecatcher settled beside Pinestripe, licking her head hoping to soothe her. "It will be okay," he murmured against her fur. He thought over what she had said, as much as he didn't like the idea of her leaving he knew it would most likely be for the best, for her safety and the unborn kits. "I think if it comes to it, that it would be the smart option for you to go to Moonclan, because they at least will have two medicine cats that can look after you and help should anything happen. But hopefully Emberstar comes to reason and lets one of them come here till we can get a new cat trained in." He offered her a smile. "But don't worry, Dawn and all our other ancestors are going to be looking out from us, so I'm sure it will turn out okay in the end, we just have to keep having faith."

Amberpaw Amberpaw had gotten immersed in his thoughts during the time he had spent waiting for his mentor. Her appearance made him jump slightly. "Yes, Willowsong!" He scrambled to his paws and smiled up at her, hoping he hadn't made too bad of an impression. "Do you mind if I ask what we're doing today?" Chances were that Pinestripe had communicated Amberpaw's strengths to her sister. She's probably going to want to work on my fighting skills, he guessed, feeling his enthusiasm waver at the thought.Swanfeather
Swanfeather dipped her head in acknowledgment to Willowsong before turning back to face Russetstep. "Well, would you look at that. Guess we're heading out, hm, Russetstep?" Now, was Sweetpaw awake yet? She couldn't see her yet so she she would check out the apprentice's den. Part of her hoped that this border patrol could give her a chance to see Alderfang. She was desperate to talk to him about the gathering and everything that was going on. |

βοΈ βYouβre so positive, I love that about you.β Pinestripe touched her nose to his cheek for a moment. βBut what about you? Will you go with me... or do you think thatβs a bad idea..β She shuffled her paws under her to sit more comfortably. Honestly the queen was scared to go alone but if Emberstar wouldnβt allow them to go it would probably be best for Ripplecatcher to stay, to protect his place in Sunclan. Besides she wasnβt sure Briarstar would let him stay anyway... but the thought of giving birth alone again, it made her feel anxious. And what would happen to Ripplecatcher if she secretly left? Would Emberstar blame him? She had little hope the leader would be okay with her going away. βI just donβt want to be without you.β
βοΈ Willowsong smiled absently at the young tom and gestured with her tail for him to follow. βSorry for the delay today. Letβs see how good your swimming skills are.β She meowed as she lead the way towards the shoreline, where she knew a spot with shallow water. Perfect for training swimming skills. Hopefully the water would keep her mind sharp, even though she didnβt have any sleep tonight. Pinestripe had explained thoroughly what had been going on with Amberpawβs training; the apprentice seemed to have made big steps already. βSo, tell me. What are the things you want us to focus on for your training sessions?β She wondered what Amberpaw thought of his own progression so far.

Sunclan
Russeststep looked over to the white she cat quietly, giving her a nod as he rose to his paws. He padded over to join her. "Seems that way," he commented to her. "And things are...fine as they can be. You?" He looked around the clearing to see if the apprentice that would be joining them was present, but not spotting them he flicked his ear. "Should we go over to the apprentice den?"
Ripplecatcher gave her a gentle smile. "If you want me to I can go with you," he said. "If it would be allowed, but if not I will at the very least see you to Moonclan camp." He didn't want to leave Pinestripe in a stressful situation more than she already was in one, he couldn't imagine what it would be like goign through this kind of thing, due to not being a she cat, but he would try his best to support her. "Who knows maybe Briarstar would at the very least let me be around for when they are born."

Amberpaw Amberpaw's ears perked. Swimming was a great deal better than learning how to fight. "What do I want to focus on?" He echoed as he followed her across the camp, out through the entrance and towards the shoreline. "Pinestripe says I'm a decent hunter... because I'm quick," he replied modestly, "And I like hunting, it's what I find easiest. I know that I need to work on my battle skills though..." He thought of his previous training sessions and how Pinestripe had been trying to teach him how to put more power behind his attacks. Even though his technique had improved a little as a result, he would need to work hard in order to match the abilities of his clanmates. He opened his mouth to tell his new mentor about his aversion to battle, but ended up closing it again. Willowsong didn't feel as easy to talk to as Pinestripe.Swanfeather Swanfeather sighed mildly. "Oh, you know... as good as they can be," she repeated his words, trying to muster some amusement into her tone. There wasn't a great deal to be amused about at the moment and her mind kept wandering to a certain tom. "Yes, lets. I'm sure a good border patrol will do wonders for my mood." She padded over to the apprentice's den, her feathery white tail swishing behind her and peered inside. "Sweetpaw? Are you up?" |

βοΈ Pinestripe nodded gratefully at the gray tom. It gave her some comfort to know heβd walk to Moonclan with her and along with Meadowsweetβs help she was sure the trip would go okay. However hard leaving everyone behind may be it did seem to be the best for the kits and they were getting heavier with the day. βIβll talk to Willowsong when she gets back to camp. But if there is no plan.. I guess we should leave tonight, what do you think?β Her heartbeat rose with these words. The chances were slim Emberstar changed his mind.
βοΈ Willowsong listened to the young tom, sheβd heard from Pinestripe that he was certainly more than a βdecentβ hunter. She nodded understandingly. βI heard youβre not really keen on battletraining though.β The brown she-cat meowed, she knew their next training sessions would focus on his fighting skills but she didnβt want to start their first training with something Amberpaw disliked. βWhy is that?β She added, maybe if she understood why she could help the apprentice better. It was obvious to her that he had a strong bond with her sister and she hadnβt talked much to Amberpaw herself. At least not on a personal level.

Amberpaw Amberpaw shook his head. He could handle a friendly spar here and there; it was when blood was involved that it truly bothered him. "I understand that it's important... I mean, look at what happened to Rainfern," he meowed quietly, taking on a troubled look. "It's just... I don't like causing harm unless absolutely necessary. There are plenty of situations which can be solved peacefully so..." His voice trailed off and he glanced up at her. He hoped what he was saying made sense. As clan deputy, Willowsong would be both a skilled fighter and hunter, and familiar with solving different situations with different approaches. "I know that that isn't an excuse to slack off when it comes to battle training, and I won't. It just isn't my forte is all." |

βοΈ βThat makes sense.β Willowsong replied. βI can see why it doensβt really resonate with you. However, sometimes it just doesnβt work to reason with others and youβll have to be able to protect yourself and your loved ones. I agree it is best to try and resolve things peacefully though.β She meowed thoughtfully, it was actually refreshing to have a calm and thoughtful apprentice. Most apprentices would be bold and boisterous, ready to fight anything and everything. Especially in their first moons of training. Luckily most of them learned that fighting wasnβt always the best solution. βOh no, you wonβt slack off on my watch.β The she-cat grinned and halted in front of a shallow cove at the shoreline. The soft waves lapped at the small beach that had formed there. βWhat are the first things you watch out for when you go swimming?β

Amberpaw Amberpaw was relieved to hear that she understood his sentiments, he had been afraid that her views would be very different from his but he found himself agreeing with everything she said. There were cats he wanted to protect and he would need to be a half-decent fighter for their sakes if nothing else. He visibly relaxed, his smile returning.
"The weather," he suggested after a moment. "For example, how the winds are whipping the waves or how fast the current is." What else? "And... rocks... so that you don't end up slipping?" |

Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
"I see." Koipaw nodded, looking thoughtful. He shook his head and followed after his mentor. He wasn't clan born, so he didn't have quite the clan dedication that others did. So to him it didn't really matter who was part of what clan. But he guess that that was just his upbringing. He waited to see where they'd be stopping.
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
Mallowpool charged into a clearing and skidded to a stop "I win!" she cheered, jumping happily "And we're here." the area had some higher trees that squirrels tended to live in. Though, with all their sprinting around there's a chance they were already all chased awaed. But the idea didn't seem to worry Mallowpool.

Meadowsweet stopped by the shore. She motioned with her tail for Koipaw to follow her into the shallows and glanced around them pointedly. The cool feel of the water on her paws washed some of her fatigue away, a welcome relief. "What dangers do we need to be aware of when we're swimming, Koipaw?" She prompted. It was important that she brief him on basic safety first. In fact, her apprentice had already been exposed to one of the dangers she was thinking of. |

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar & Rosethorn
When the strange she-cat appeared, Pinkpaw was immedietly on edge. She listened to the two of them interact, eyes narrowed. Since she was proud, and just a little bit stupid, Pinkpaw asked "If there are cat's injured and sick you could attack them. Why should we trust you?" she was just spunky enough that the other she-cats size didn't quite scare her off.
Briarstar's tail swiped over Pinkpaw's ears , and she gave her a disapproving look out of the corner of her eye - Briarstar was always patient with the young shecat , but something was clearly out of the ordinary , and she needed Pinkpaw to understand how serious this was . A stranger on their territory gave them an advantage , sure , but when they were away from their clan ? Not the best move to start picking fights .
" Forgive my apprentice , she knows not to whom she speaks , " She swiveled her ears back as she watched Rosethorn , trying to taking in everything she could . She didn't seem like she was dangerous , but her size and claws were enough to keep Briarstar from completely letting her guard down .
" She's certainly a spitfire , eh ? Didn't your littermom ever tell you not to talk to strangers ? " Rosethorn chuckled , swishing her tail in a friendly manner , " No need to apologize , I understand . Now , is there any chance you know of the beachside clan ? Are they nearby ? " She glanced around with bright and wide eyes , as if still taking in her surroundings . She pretended not to notice Briarstar shifting uneasily before turning her head to the other border . Bingo .
Briarstar's eyebrows furrowed ; she certainly seemed in a hurry but ... she seemed to know things about the clan that she wouldn't have known otherwise . Perhaps this was what Sunclan needed after all .
" I ... suppose we could escort you , but don't expect Emberstar to be the most welcome ... His clan tragically lost their medicine cat a moon or so ago , and he's been cold ever since . I hope for his clan's sake that if you can help , he'll accept it , however you're welcome to rest in Moonclan before heading home should he not . "
" I completely understand , " Rosethorn dipped her head respectfully , " You have every right to have your suspicions about an outsider , " She looked to Pinkpaw and smirked , " But I'm sure your mentor taught you all about that , hmm ? " She gave her a green eyed wink before following after Briarstar , who kept Pinkpaw to her other side protectively .

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar & Rosethorn
She didn't like the way Briarstar scolded her, but Pinkpaw did shut up. Briarstar was probably the only cat able to make the prideful apprentice quiet down for a while. When she was addressed again, Pinkpaw puffed up her chest "Of course, Briarstar is the best mentor. And she's smart." there was a warning to her voice. Briarstar was smart enough to catch something bad going on, so Rosethorn better watch what she say. Said in fewer words of course.
βοΈ
Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
The apprentice scowled slightly, nose scrunching up in distaste at the memory "The weather and the water conditions." he answered simply. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. After his experience, it was a wonder he wasn't terrified of the water. And he did have a distaste towards wild and deep water, but thankfully he could swim. The poor former kittypet couldn't be bad at everything, that just wouldn't be fair. Honestly, he was decent enough at swimming. He'd made it to the island without dying after all.

βοΈ Willowsong nodded approvingly. βAnd donβt forget to look out for possible predators, large dangerous birds or fish can do quite some damage when youβre not paying attention.β After scanning their surroundings the brown she-cat carefully waded into the water until half her body was covered. The cold touch of the wetness on her pelt made her feel more energized again. She gestured for Amberpaw to follow. βIs this your first time swimming?β
βοΈ Tigerpaw skidded to a halt next to her mentor, catching her breath. βBooo. Next time Iβll win maybe!β She smiled and glanced up to the trees. It wasnβt easy to just spot a squirrel. They were incredibly skittish. βDo you think weβve scared off the squirrels with our running?β The apprentice asked, resting her amber gaze back on Mallowpool. She made sure to keep her voice a little low, maybe some of the squirrels were still around.

Ripplecatcher thought it over. "it would be good to get you some where safer as soon as possible," he agreed with her. He looked around the camp briefly, it shouldn't be to hard to get her out tonight, if things went smoothly. "Do you want to leave tonight? Or work out a plan today and execute it tomorrow night?"

Amberpaw "No, I've swam once or twice." Amberpaw followed Willowsong's example and looked around before wading in after her. Though the water only covered half of her body, it was more like three quarters on the apprentice, lapping around his shoulders. His paws were still on solid ground but he found that he could easily lift them and float if he wanted. A benefit of his light frame.Meadowsweet "Good," Meadowsweet meowed. She flicked her tail to a nearby cluster of rocks. "You'll also want to make sure that you're placing your paws down carefully. I've seen apprentices get nasty scars because they weren't being careful and slipped." The calico she-cat pushed deeper into the water, stopping again when the water reached up to just below her shoulders. "Predators can be an issue too but they don't tend to come so close to the shore." With Koipaw's prior experience of turbulent waters, she was confident that he'd make quick work of swimming. That was good news considering how traditional warrior assessments were conducted, it meant they could get it out of the way and focus more on his weaknesses.

Russetstep flciked his ear as they waited for the apprentice. Should we just leave without them? he thought to himself, but quickly shook out his head. He looked to Swanfeather. He didn't comment on what he took note of regarding her mood, everyone seemed that way lately, and choose to chalk it up to simply stress. As it seemed a lot of them were going through it since the death of Rainfern.

βοΈ Pinestripe pondered for a short moment and then shook her head. βNo, I think we should go tonight. If we wait longer itβll make it harder to leave.. and Iβm afraid Emberstar would want to stop us.β She sighed and lifted her head to meet her mateβs gaze. βThank you, for standing by my side.β She wouldnβt have known what to do without the cats close to her. It was hard to leave everyone behind, especially now that the clan didnβt feel like a safe place. But it was better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all. And she loved her clanmates, her mate, her kits, her family. She would see them again β that gave her hope.
βοΈ βAh, thatβs good. So I donβt have to explain the basics.β Willowsong smiled, her brown tail drifted on the water with the soft waves that lapped at their pelts. It was half the size it used to be with the wet hairs floating around it. Their bodies would have adjusted to the temperature of the water by now, so it was a good moment to get moving. βAlright, can you show me some moves? Swim around for a little bit.β A stone big that was big enough to sit on pointed above the waterlevel a few taillenghts from them. She gestured to it with her snout, while she swam over to another stone to sit on. It would make it easier for her to watch Amberpaw. βYou can go over to that stone.β She meowed, sheβd keep an eye on the apprentice to make sure nothing went wrong and to see how good his swimming skills were. Swimming was an important skill to improve before the apprenticeβs assessment to become a warrior. If an apprentice wasnβt skilled enough it could easily go wrong and even when they were skilled, sometimes it still went wrong. It didnβt happen often but sheβd seen it a few times now. One time when she was still a warrior with Wavestepβs younger sibling and once as a deputy with Berrypaw. Both were from Moonclan but that didnβt make it less horrible to see a young promising life go to waste.

MoonClan: Woodflower paced the clearing of the MoonClan camp, the herbs sorted, no sick cats.It seemed like everything was perfect, but she couldn't shake the foreboding feeling she had. Maybe hunting will make me feel better. she thought. Woodflower turned towards the camp exit, suprised at her own thoughts. But medicine cats still get basic hunting and fighting training she told herself. As she walked into the forest, Woodflower opened her mouth to taste the air for scents. The smell of squirrel drifted onto her tongue. Woodflower looked around for a second, and the spotted it. Slowly, she dropped into a crouch and crept forward, being sure not to step on any leaves or twigs. When she was close enough, she pounced, and the squirrel gave a small shriek before taking its last breath.Im not too bad at this! she thought smugly. My mood has improved, anyway. I'd better get back to camp now.
So now Woodflower is in camp, and will basically be there for everything that goes on there.

Amberpaw Amberpaw's fluffy ginger fur was now plastered to his sides save for his neck and face. He followed Willowsong's gaze to the large stone and dipped his head to her only to splutter as water rushed into his mouth. Didn't think that one through! Embarrassed but his composure regained, he allowed his paws to leave solid ground, bending them beneath him. He set his sights on the stone once more and began to swim toward it with steady strokes of his paws. Occasionally, the young tom would seem to loose rhythm - a consequence of his lack of stamina - however, he was otherwise doing a decent job, and when he pulled himself up onto the stone, he didn't feel too badly about how he'd done. He turned inquiring eyes on his mentor. |

The water was a bit chilly, but nothing he couldn't handle. Koipaw pushed off the bottom of the lake and started to swim, churning that water with his paws to keep his head above the small waves.
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
The warrior paused to listen for a moment, concentrating on the area around them. It took a moment, but she heard it. The scratch of small claws against tree bark. Opening her eyes she turned to her apprentice "Listen to the surrounding area. What do you hear?" he voice was kept low and she gestured towards a nearby tree with her tail.

βοΈ Willowsong stifled a soft grin at the apprenticeβs awkward dip of his head. She watched Amberpaw with interest when he started swimming. Her whiskers twitched with pleasant surprise at how well the young tom was doing. There were a few points that could use improvement but overall his swimming skills were up to speed with what Willowsong expected from an apprentice his age, maybe even better. As he settled onto the stone she gave him an approving nod. βYouβre doing good. Make sure to swim at a comfortable pace for your body. You have to find a rythm that isnβt too fast, so you wonβt tire out too quickly.β
βοΈ Tigerpaw slowed her breathing to take in her surroundings. Her pointy striped ears swiveled on top of her head and her amber eyes were narrowed to focus on the sounds around her. She could hear the rustling of the leaves in the wind, the creaking of twigs and trees.. The apprentice was about to give up when her ears caught another sound, a soft scratching sound from the tree Mallowpool had pointed at. βOh, I hear something rustling over there.β She meowed softly, glancing back to her mentor.

Amberpaw Amberpaw nodded intently, taking in her criticism. It made sense to him, his stamina had been part of the problem with battle training too and was something he could hopefully improve on with the deputy's help. "Thank you," he meowed, dripping and cold now that he was out of the water. If he was going to be swimming for a long time for his assessment or, eventually, for trips to the mainland, he would need to learn to pace himself. "Can I try it again?" He glanced back to the shore, eager to see if he could find a better rhythm this time.Meadowsweet Meadowsweet smiled slightly, glad to see that Koipaw was indeed doing well like she'd hoped. She stopped backing up into the water and pointed with her tail to a flat rock, large enough for a cat to sit on. "How about you try swimming to there?" She suggested, deciding to swim along behind - though at a distance - to make sure he managed alright. |

βοΈ βYes ofcourse, go ahead.β Willowsong nodded. She gave her fur a soft shake to stop it from clinging to her pelt as it started to dry up a little. βListen to your body and try to find a rythm that works well for you. Even if itβs slower than youβd like. We can build your stamina from there but youβll need to have the right technique first.β She could see great potential in the young tom, Pinestripe had been right about that. It just needed to be built up slowly and with a good foundation heβd surely turn into a fine Sunclan warrior, just like his parents had been.

Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
The apprentice nodded, not trusting himself to talk. He would for sure get water in his mouth if he tried. Koipaw pushed through the water, getting a better hang of swimming in deeper water. The chill didn't bother him at all really, and soon his paws hit the large flat rock. He hauled himself out of the water, shaking off his wet pelt.
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
"Good, now try to approach without being seen." Mallowpool nodded, impressed her apprentice had caught onto that quiet noise. She tested the wind and moved accordingly, switching between looking up and back to the ground to assure that she didn't step on a twig or leaf that may be across her path.
