Amberpaw stood tall with pride as her and her littermate's names were cheered. "Amberpaw, Moonpaw, Sunpaw, Lifepaw, Hailpaw, Timberpaw!"  The cats cheered their eyes bright.  Even Deadmoss the elder had come out to enjoy the ceremony. Aquatail padded up to Lifepaw; "Come on dear, where going to go and collect some herbs out in the forest, I'll tell you all their names and the best places to find 'em!" Aqautail padded away Lifepaw at her side her sightless eyes bright. With that the other mentor padded up to gather their apprentices. "Timberpaw, you and I are going to do some battle practice!" Smudgetail meowed leading Timberpaw out the fern tunnel. "Sunpaw, Moonpaw, were going to go practice hunting skills!" Lightningclaw meowed, closely followed by Mayflower. Amberpaw watched them go, hoping she wouldn't be trapped in the camp. "Hailpaw, were going to collect moss and clean out the elders den." Dapplestorm meowed. Hailpaw looked at the cat, his eyes clouded with disappointment.  Finally Tigerlily padded up, her eyes glowing apologetically. "Sorry 'bout that Amberpaw, Spottedstar wanted me to give food to the elders before we left." Amberpaw jumped with fresh excitement. "Were going to go tour the territory!" Tigerlily meowed padding to the fern tunnel.  Amberpaw felt a little disappointed but brightened at the fact she wasn't getting moss.

Fresh forest air bathed Amberpaw's face as she headed into the trees.  Tigerlily walked just a few tailengths ahead of her, tasting the air. "What are you doing Tigerlily; I didn't know we were hunting!" Amberpaw meowed confusion creeping into her voice. "I'm tasting the air for badgers silly!" Tigerlily meowed coming to a stop. "Were almost at badger rocks, and there's always a badger there, no matter how many times we chase them out!" Amberpaw snorted and continued walking with her mentor, soon enough a tall heap of silvery rocks came into view. "Taste the air and tell me what you smell." Tigerlily instructed settling into a crouch. "Old fox scent...Vole, mouse, sparrow...and something stinky!" Amberpaw meowed wrinkling her nose. "That's badger, we'll alert Spottedstar there's another badger at the rocks; Good job picking up those scents!" Amberpaw soaked in her praise and continues to follow her mentor as they padded sound the rocks, leaving the badger stench behind. Soon enough Amberpaw heard rushing water. "What's that?" She inquired looking up at her mentor. "We are nearing The Falls, where the Clans gather every year." Amberpaw and Tigerlily came to a stop, and Amberpaw gazed at the mass of falling water.

"You see where the water is slit, by that big boulder?"  Tigerlily asked, flicking her tail to a massive boulder that cut through the water. "The Clans climb up that root path and right under the water, there is a cave and a bunch of shelves of rock inside and the clans discuss there." Tigerlily explained looking at her apprentice. Amberpaw pictured it for a second then padded of after her mentor. Tigerlily kept close to the river tell the came to a spot where it thinned to a tiny stream. "The river marks the bored, this is the border to AutmnClan; smell there scent?" Tigerlily asked settling down again. "Yeah, they smell like leaf mould!" She meowed curiously. Tigerlily let out a mrow of laughter before continuing. After what seemed like ages of padding through brambles, ferns and trees they stopped back at the camp.

Inside all the other apprentices had arrived, and where padding into the apprentice's Den for a good night's sleep, before the sky's completely darkened.  Amberpaw wished she could join them, but spotted Hailpaw alone eating a massive rabbit and decided to join him. She gingerly padded up her muscles screaming with the effort. His eyes immediately brightened when he saw her and he scotched over to make room. "Hello!" They meowed at the same time. Amberpaw waited for him to say something else as she settled, but she was greeted by awkward silence. "How was training?" She finally asked breaking the silence. "It was ok, my claws hurt from cutting moss, and the elders weren't very grateful for when we finished!" Hailpaw growled, his silver tabby fur starting to stand on end. He pushed the rabbit towards her. "What was your training like?" He asked his fur lying flat again. "I'm exhausted; I think we went to every single mouse length of the forest!" She meowed, wolfing down the rest of the rabbit. "You two Mouse brains should get some sleep, before I decide to make you clean out the nursery too!" Birchfall; Amberpaw's older brother meowed, his gaze stern yet teasing.

Amberpaw hurried into the Apprentice Den, Hailpaw hard on her paws. She stumbled into the dark bramble den, nearly tripping over Moonpaw, who was sleeping soundly. She found her way to her nest, which was plumped with feathers and extra moss. She looked around confusedly and saw Hailpaw curled in his nest, watching her with warm Amber eyes. "Did you..." She whispered trailing off when he winked at her and turned around. She swiped her tongue over her chest fur in a few immbaressed licks before curling in her nest to sleep.
