Brownpaw, She/her, 8 Moons
Shadowclan Apprentice
Brownpaw had ended up dozing off in the medicine den last night, and after a little check-up from Mossfreckle, she was sent on her way without any further issue. She barely even felt dizzy anymore! As long as she didn't move too fast, that was. And Dawnstar was calling a meeting this morning, which Brownpaw padded over to listen to. There were some new appretncies, which was always good! Brownpaw remembered Bleedingkit from back in the nursery. He walked a bit wobbly sometimes, like she did! Though she wasn't shaky, really. More just... not very coordinated.
So the new meeting spot was called the Grimpeak? Grim was kind of a sad word, so the name sort of just meant the Sadpeak, or the Gloomypeak. Brownpaw didn't know why the rock had to be grim, but it did sound cool! It was where Dawnstar would be sitting, so Dawnstar could name it whatever she wanted. And there was the Dawning Woods (like Dawnstar,) and the Darkwater Mire, and the Evergreen Grotto... all the names sounded quite Shadowclan-y! Maybe Hawkbite could take her there someday soon. She hadn't talked to him very much lately, which needed to be changed!
Neither of the other two kits showed up for their apprentice ceremonies. Oh no... they
did both make it here, right? If they didn't, then somebody would've noticed, and everyone would be looking for them right now. Maybe they were just sleeping? It would make sense, if Brownpaw was a kit she'd be very tired after the move. Honestly, she was a little tired right now, but didn't pay attention to the feeling. At least Bleedingpaw could become an apprentice.
Apparently some of their clanmates were missing, though... Brownpaw had noticed some cats seemed to be gone. She was glad a patrol was going to find them, and hopefully nobody was harmed or too scared.
Oh, yeah! Mossfreckle was going to get an apprentice! He was a full medicine cat now, which must've taken a lot of hard work. Brownpaw visibly perked up with interest, very curious to hear which cat it would be.
The new medicine cat apprentice, was...
...Grousepaw?
Brownpaw's head quickly turned to the apprentice in the crowd, tail fluffed up in surprise and eyes wide. It was GROUSEPAW? Brownpaw
knew Grousepaw! She knew most of her clanmates, sure, but she'd known Grousepaw since she was a kit! Brownpaw's gaze was bright with happiness for them, full of sincere belief that this was a wonderful choice. She didn't know if Grousepaw had ever shown an interest in herbs, and he was a little argumentative sometimes, but he also had a good heart! She just knew it! And wasn't that what a medicine cat needed, most of all? Grousepaw could always learn herbs and how to heal, but first you needed to know how to be kind and considerate.
Barely after the announcement was over Brownpaw was already hurrying towards her, Grousepaw having moved over to Mossfreckle, presumably to talk about super cool medicine cat stuff. "Hi, Grousepaw!", Brownpaw purred, doing a little wiggle from excitement. "Congratulations!! You're going to do great. I'm sure of it!"
Brownpaw looked up at Grousepaw from a now closer angle, hazel eyes practically sparkling. "You can send me on herb patrols whenever you want, okay? And I can go with you whenever! I'll help get everything you need so you can be the very bestest at healing!"
