Medicine Cat Gathering: Dawn of a New Day

[' 'Roamer||Avi]

-- peachblossom||skyclan medicine cat

The light ginger tabby had been busy all day, it had been one of those days where the traffic in her den didn't seem to cease. First it was Birdsong who had stepped on a thorn. At least the she-cat was calm and not yowling her head off. She was perfectly able to wait until Peachblososm had reached a stopping point. The she-cat hadn't even flinched as she drew the thorn out of her paw with her teeth and chatted amiably with Peachblossom as she put a bit of marigold on it.

Then it was Tinykit, the kit had rolled into some nettles and was yowling something fierce. Peachblosom had spent the better part of the day working on her while she had sent Cricketpaw out to collect herbs. It was now just as the sun was begining to set that Peachblossom headed to meet Cricketpaw, they had agreed to meet on the border, where Cricketpaw would place the herbs she had gathered to store them for the duration of the gathering.

At the edge of the territory they would also meet with Frostbite and Sleepingpaw, then travel into ThunderClan territory to meet with Slatepaw, Snowpaw, Sparrowtail, Mothpaw, and Tinyleaf. Then the party would proceed to the Moonpool to have their medicine cat gathering where they would commune with StarClan and receive guidance from their ancestors. Peachblossom always looked forward to these gatherings, where clan boundaries didn't stand as strong and the cats could be social without constant tension.

Sparrowtail

Sparrowtail never had been one to be out during the day, so when it came to medicine cat gatherings, he was wide awake and ready to speak with his guidance of starclan. The medicine cat had never agreed to get along with the others, but he could care less, after all, he hated fighting, let alone the way the cats lived by tooth and claw with their pride. That, was only because of the past he held on the inside after his mother had been murdered by his own father, although, the clan doesn't know this, and he would rather keep it that way. Sparrowtail obviously, kept his mouth shut after that, and chose his voice in careful mysterious ways, which was why those who spent time around him learned to adapt to his odd way of speaking through his tail. Funny, how you could listen, without even hearing a single word. Sparrowtail had learned a lot from this, after some moons listening to Starclan's silent calls into the wind. Somehow he wondered why he was to special as to get into the position he was in. Perhaps, it was his way of approaching things, different from any other cat that he had known or even heard of.

Sparrowtail didn't need to pass through any territories on his way to the small stream that lead up to the moonpool. Although, most of the cats would meet near the thunderclan border. Sparrowtail didn't feel like walking his ways all the way up to the point where thunderclan was. Sparrowtail wasn't trying to be rude, but it saved well needed time for him and his apprentice. The tom had one thing he did not enjoy, an apprentice that was pushed onto him when he didn't want it. None the less, he could teach the apprentice because he refused to speak. Despite this, they found the "need" to give him an apprentice, in which he would rather ignore, like he had been doing a lot latley. If Mothpaw didn't realize that he was already awake and gone, that meant, no starclan meeting for Mothpaw, Sparrowtail could really care less. The apprentice was better off being a warriors apprentice, learning to put well needed skills out there.
