[The Lost Spirit Chapter Three]

Instructions

[Chapter Three] _____________________________________________ “I’m going to Glacier Drift to get some poppy. It might help lower the pain.” Moonbeam would meow, brushing past Maplestar, giving him a quick lick on the nose before trotting out of the nursery. The medicine den was a great stone with gaps and holes carved in it over time from being in the gorge for so many moons. “Hello, Moonbeam. Come for more poppyseed?” Questioned GlacialDrift, having a steady glare that burned into Moonbeam as she shuddered. The elderly jet-black she was always a snappy cat ever since her kits passed drowning. After that, she wanted to do as much as possible to help every cat whom is a loyal citizen to Skyclan. Not the brightest cat, but she would die protecting and helping this clan. “Y-Yes…I would.” Moonbeam ch0ked out as GlacierDrift lifted an eyebrow at her. Moonbeam had come to the medicine den to retrieve poppyseed ever sense she was pregnant with kits. “Alright.” The medicine cat meowed steadily as she gave Moonbeam a pawful of poppyseed. The young she dipped her head and padded off to the river. The healing herbs were shriveled at the chilliness of the Leaf-fall breeze that gusted through the camp. She took a mouthful and forced herself to choke it down. It settled like a rock in her stomach as she began to lap at the fresh brook. Her ears pricked at the familiar call of the clan leader to gather for a clan meeting. “All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high-ledge for a clan meeting!” Yowled Maplestar, getting onto the large rock with a great leap. The clan deputy, Amberstrike, sat a few fox-lengths away from the leader. “Acornkit, 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 Acorn Paw. Your mentor will be Hawk stripe. I hope he passes all of his knowledge and wisdom to you.” Maplestar would purr as he watched Hawk stripe pad silently over to Acornpaw, their noses touching in greeting. Hawkstripe is wise. I know he will pass on every portion of knowledge about the warrior code he knows. Thought Moonbeam as she tilted her head up at the highrock.
