Swanpaw.
Swanpaw.
Why am I Swanpaw? Why am I still here? I should have gone in Quietpaw's place...
That was what the young she-cat thought, what went through her head, as she trudged on through the snow. The white fluff was nearly up to her brown nose, and the tiny apprentice was shivering as the white melted and froze on her pelt.
"Moonfang?" she meowed behind her. "You alright back there?"
She was not the kit who Moonfang had taken under her wings so many moons ago. Sorrow had hardened her heart beyond recognition, from a down feather to granite within a moon. Occasionally the down would show through, but then the granite would slip over again and she would continue working on finding the cure to the disease that plagued them all.

Dawnlight waited at the place where the Medicine cats from Shadowclan would meet her. Thunderclan had not showed nor Windclan. Maybe they were already ahead. She looked down on her pelt and shivered. Her pelt looked like snow and she laughed lightly and looked back at her apprentice, Skypaw as she walked to her side. She smiled at her apprentice and mewed "This is your first trip to the Medicine cats gathering once every half moon." She looked over at the Shadowclans boarder and smiled as she caught sight of the Filmore snow white pelt as Snowpaw walked through the deep snow. "Hello Snowpaw!" she mewed as she waited for the Shadowclan apprentice. Snowpaw had been a good friend when she had started off as the apprentice of Longfeather and the memories of Lilykit flooded back into her mind and frowned only a little. She caught herself before any cat could she is it. She dearly hoped Lilypaw would forgive her.

Skypaw bounded along next to her, going ahead every now and they. They reached the waiting place and Skypaw sat down, her muscles twitching with impatience. Only when Dawnlight mewed "Hello Swanpaw!" Did she notice a white pelted apprentice. She meowed a greeting. "Hi! Whats your name? What caln are you from? Whats that yucky smell? How old are you?" Skypaw wrinkled her nose at a bad smell coming off the cat.
(Sorry, its short!)

Lilyfire padded alongside her mentor. Those words StarClan had given her. Hmm, she needed to tell Swanpaw. "Hey Swanpaw, I need your help."[/color]
[urgh my muse just killed itself >>]

Moonfang padded slightly behind Swanpaw, head held slightly lower than usual. The deaths caused by this new illness were taking a toll on everyone, but Swanpaw worried her. Ever since Quietpaw's body was brought back to camp, torn by the rats that attacked her, she had changed. And then, when the apprentice finally joined StarClan, it got worse.
The once playful and caring Swanpaw had changed into a fiercely determined shell of her former self. No herb could cure her. Only finding the cure would ever even suggest the idea that she soften up in the slightest. As a medicine cat, Moonfang knew to accept the fact that she couldn't do much to help, but as a mentor it bothered her.
"Yes, Swanpaw. I'm fine," she replied, blinking once. She shook herself, momentarily blinded from the small flurry she caused in front of her.
What could possibly help her for the time being...? she thought, turning over many ideas in her head. She's been doing amazingly well as a medicine cat apprentice, and she knows many of the herbs, if not all of them. She's a huge help, and with this illness spreading, she would be even more useful... she should become a medicine cat soon. Not this time... but maybe the next. Some good news could cheer her up.
She pushed through the snow a but faster, catching up with Swanpaw.
"Swanpaw," she purred, addressing the younger cat. "I think you deserve your medicine cat name soon. You're nearly ready, and it will help with your search for the cure. Within the next moon, what do you say?"

Dawnlight looked at her apprentice with a sharp flick of her tail to shh her. "Be polite." she mewed and smiled at the thought of her first time to the Medicine cats gathering. "This is Swanpaw," she mewed as she flicked her tail over to the white pelted apprentice. "And this is Moonfang" she flicked her tail at the she-cat behind Swanpaw. "Thats her mentor and this is Lilyfire" she mewed at the she-cat behind them.
"I can see were almost all here. Where Silverpaw?" she asked and looked at the Windclan boarder.

Silverpaw was trudging along silently, praying to starclan that she would have her medicine cat name this time. she heard her name and quickened the pace. "Did someone say my name?" she mewed to the group at large.
((OOC: I need your help, guys! Silverpaw should have gotten her name last year, but the medicine cat that I was apprenticed to quit the site. Charby decided that you guys can give me my name! what do you think?))

Dawnlight smiled and jumped up with happiness. "Hi Silverpaw!" she mewed to her exitedly. "How's Windclan." she mewed and remembered that Silverpaw had been an apperntice moons before and she became an apperntice. She had gotten her name only 5 moons ago. (Ideas on name!_ Silverberry! Silverwing! Silversong! Silvernight! Silverwind! Silverdrop! Silvervine! Silverleaf! Silverrain! SilverLight! SilverDream! Silverheart! Silverclaw! Silvertail! Wow thats a lot!  |

(I like Silverpetal, Silverdew, Silverpool, or maybe Silverflight. Silverpath, too.)
Swanpaw's eyes lit up.
"Really, Moonfang!?"
That was the happiest the tortured apprentice had felt in awhile. She then attended to the other business that had been brought upon her by much younger and older apprentices and medicine cats. She decided to deal with them quickly.
"You're rather inquisitive, aren't you? I am Swanpaw, the apprentice for ShadowClan. I do not smell bad, that's just the smell of my territory. You don't smell like wildflowers yourself." she said, wrinkling her nose playfully. "I am 17 moons, but if you value any form of living outside of StarClan, I'd suggest you not ask any she-cat that question." she joked.
She then turned to Lilyfire.
"What do you need, Lilyfire?"

(( What about Silverfrost, Silverfall, Silverfang, Silverdrift, Silverfur, Silversnow, Silverfeather, Silverbrook, Silvercloud, Silvermist, Silverflight or Silverstep? ))
Moonfang nodded, purring once more to see the apprentice so happy.
"Perhaps at the next medicine cat gathering. You will make a wonderful medicine cat." she meowed, eye glowing in amusement. The younger apprentice seemed to be making quite the first impression.
With a sigh, preparing for the worst- which in her case would be too much energy -she turned to the young Skypaw.
"Is this your first trip to Mothermouth?" she asked, grimacing at the bounce in the kit's step. "Hard to believe I was ever that excited to be walking," she added, much too low for anyone else to hear.

(Silverbrook ,Silverfeather, Silverfur, Silverheart, Silverfeet, Silver-runner (my favourite), Silvermask, Silverdance (also a fav), Silvertail, Silverpath, Silversky, Silvercloud, Silverfire, Silverfrost, Silverwind, Silvershade, Silversun, Silvermoon, Silverspark, Silver-river, Silverblaze, Silverspot. I've got loads, but Silverdance is just amazing, as is Silver-runner)
"I came here last medicine cat gathering, and I was told I was to have kits, and what's worse, the one tom of Snowserpent's - err, Snowpaw, you know her as - affections, Moonpaw. They're supposed to quell the fire that shall rise from the plains of those who died or something, but I don't really want to have kits. The only cats who are supposed to know are Silverstar, Dappleclaw, Silentstar and Moonpaw. Obviously it'd be stupid if I just padded into your camp, so I need you to tell Moonpaw to meet me in the Fourtrees tommorow when it's moonhigh. You see, Snowpaw died right? Starclan granted her a second life 'cept she kinda got reborn in my head. I'd tell you just how annoying it is, but I'm sure you don't want to hear. She says hi by the by."[/color]

Dawnlight looked at Silverpaw and bowed her head. "I am honored to help you with your Medicine cats name." she mewed and flicked her ears at Lilyfire who was whispering to Snowpaw. Hum... she thought. She caught bits and pieces of what she was saying. "have kits, quell the fire that shall rise.." she was remembered she was talking to Silverpaw and stopped listening.

((OOC: wow! thanks for all the suggestions, guys! ☺ I think silverberry because in one of the roleplays, she discovered wild strawberries.))
"Thanks!" mewed Silverpaw happily. "I'll finally be a real medicine cat!" she was so excited, she could barely stand it.

While they had talk they reach the mother mouth. Dawnlight smiled and thought of some names that would suit Silverpaw. She looked over at a patch of wild strawberries. They looked almost silver in the half moons light. Dawnlight licked her lips.
This must be an omen from starclan. What was the name they were tiring to tell her. Silverberries...
"Got it!" she whispered and hoped no one would here.

'Can we go down now?' Skypaw asked as she peered down the dark tunnel.

"Soon, but we have to give Silverpaw her medicine cat name first." she mewed and smiled. This would be Skypaws first medicine cat meeting!

Silverpaw was practically bursting out of her fur with excitement. It was all she could do to keep still.
"I'll be a real medicine cat now, just like you, Lilyfire!" she mewed in Lilyfire's ear.

Dawnlight looked from cat to cat. No one stepped forward to say the Ceremony. Guess she had to do it. "It is time." she mewed. She stepped on too a near by rock and said. "Silverpaw, your mentor has died and is living in Starclan. You have taken good care of your clan while still an apprentice. I hope starclan believes that I have made a good choose in what is about to happen. " she mewed and looked up into the stars. They were shining brighter then she had ever seen them before.
She looked back at Silverpaw. Her pelt was really silver in the moon and stars light. She smiled, transfixed on Silverpaws pelt. She looked back at Silverpaws eyes as she said, "By the powers of Starclan, I give you your new name." she waited, making sure that she had chosen the right name, that would go down in History. "Silverberries!" she called softly, even though heard by all gathered.
"We welcome you as the new Windclan Medicine cat!" She jumped down from the rock and walked over to Silverberries. She rested her tail on Silverberries shoulder and mewed "Congrats."
