| Cinderleap has just been made a warrior two moons ago. She has never even thought of going to the mountains once in her life. But when the medicine cat gets a prophecy that involves her, she must go. Along with three others of her clan, she discovers secrets that never should had been revealed. |
Chapter 1[]
Cinderleap opened her eyes. Light flooded into the warrior's den. Since she couldn't fall back asleep she yawned, stretched, and made her way outside for some breakfast. She took a plump mouse and brought it over to the corner where the elders eat.
"Good morning Cinderleap!" said an old she-cat with one clouded blue eye.
"'Morning Greysight. How was your sleep?" replied Cinderleap.
"Oh it was alright I guess you could say. But Stormstar was snoring again!" Greysight croaked, "I guess he really is Stormstar! Sure sounds like one!"
Cinderleap laughed, "You'll soon get used to it Greysight! He's only been in there for one half moon."
"Yes I know. I'm sure I'll udjust." the elder layed down on the grassy ground, "Cinderleap could I ask you a favor?"
"Ask away. I'm always here to help."
"My bones have been aching real bad for a while. Could you ask Moonshallow for some ragwort leaves, or comfrey will do."
"Sure. I'll ask soon. Just let me finish my mouse." Cinderleap finished her mouse in severel quick bites then went to Moonshallow's den.
"Moonshallow? Are you in here?" Cinderleap called through the entrance of the medicine cat den.
Moonshallow's apprentice, Turtlepaw, answered.
"She went to look for more burdock root. Do you need somthing?" the tortoise-shell she-cat asked.
"Greysight would like some ragwort or comfrey."
"Ah! Her joints are bothering her again! Let me see what I can do to help." Turtlepaw retreated into the storage room and returned later with ragwort and juniper berries, "Crush up the leaves with the juniper and give it to Greyshallow. She will be much appreciative of you for this. I know from expeirience! Here you go!"
"Thank you Turtlepaw!" Cinderleap took the herbs and gave them to Greyshallow.
"You have my grattitude Cinderleap! Not many cats would bother helping an elder with their herbs!" Greyshallow meowed contently, "You may go to your warrior duties now. I think Bramblethicket wanted you for a patrol."
"Your welcome Greyshallow." Cinderleap nodded and gathered up the extra herbs that weren't eaten. She delivered them to Turtlepaw and then went to see Bramblethicket, the clan deputy.
"Hey Cinderleap! Can you go on the Morning Patrol with Embersky, Weaselfur and Tanglepaw?" a thick-furred tabby tom asked.
"Sure Bramblethicket! I'll go now!" replied Cinderleap.
