Instructions

Adventures of MoonClan - Episode One: The Apprentice Ceremony Featherkit yawned. The sun peeked over the top of the gorge and into the Nursery. She opened her eyes and gazed around. The only sounds were the sparse chirping of the birds, and the rustling of the leaves in the trees. She blinked her light green eyes and stood up. Her mother moved slightly, making Featherkit flinch. Seeing that she was clear, she quietly made her way out of the Nursery and into the clearing. The only other cat seen was the deputy, and her father, Berryfrost. His white pelt glowed in the morning light. Featherkit snuck past him and into the medicine clearing, where she knew that Nightspring would be waiting. Ever since she opened her eyes and explored the camp, Featherkit knew she would become a medicine cat. She had a feeling. Nightspring had started teaching her the basics of healing, and the names of the most common herbs, as well as their uses. "Nightspring..?" The gray she-cat appeared from a corner, carrying herbs. Dock, Featherkit recalled. Nightspring dropped the dock and blinked the sleepiness out of her eyes. "Hello, Featherkit. Are you ready?" her amber eyes glowed with excitement. She nodded happily, all traces of sleep gone. "Good! I need you to help me sort some herbs." Nightspring picked up the dock and bounded over to a crack in the wall. The she-cat had been only a medicine-cat apprentice for six moons before her mentor had died. She was still so young, and still learning too. Featherkit ran over and skidded to a stop beside the older she-cat. "Now, can you tell me what this is?" "Um... Y-Yarrow?" "Correct. Can you tell me what it does?" Featherkit searched her memory for when she was told what it did. "Don't you feed it to a cat that had eaten something bad, to make them throw it up?" she asked, hoping she was correct. "Exactly! Good job! Now, what's this?" ~*~*~ "From now on, until you receive your medicine cat name, you shall be known as Featherpaw." "Featherpaw!" "Featherpaw!" "Featherpaw! Featherpaw blinked up at her new mentor, Nightspring. "I promise to do my best," she whispered. "I know you will. I'm glad to have you as my apprentice, Featherpaw." She purred with happiness. Featherpaw knew that she would do her best, no matter what. She would never break the promise to Nightspring, she vowed. She would be the best medicine cat MoonClan had ever seen.
