Crowshade headed out of the warriors den and into the clearing. She stretched and yawned. The dawn patrols were just leaving. It was about time to go get her apprentice for their first day of training. She groomed herself a little making sure that she looked in charge.  Stretching one more time she headed into the apprentice den. Leaning over Icepaw she meowed, "Icepaw, Icepaw it's time to get up." She waited for the apprentice to open her eyes, "Today is your first day of training. We're going to go see the boarders. Meet me outside," and she padded out of the den and waited for the apprentice.

[Isilme]

Icepaw was sleeping lightly, she was so excited to finally be an apprentice that she couldn't get any decent sleep, when her mentor appeared she opened her eyes and got up to clean her fur before following Crowshade outside. "I'm here." She meowed happily eyes shinning to her mentor.

Crowshade looked over at Icepaw, "We're going over to the MidnightClan boarder first. You can see the oak trees. They are very different then birch trees." Crowshade stood up and stretched once more. "We should head out soon. We are going to see all of the boarders today. Are you ready to head out Icepaw?"

[Isilme]

The white cat that looked so much like her father nodded a big smile on her lips, her mother of course had already told her all kind of tales about the others clans and she was very ancious to see everything that circled their camp. "Please Crowshade lead the way." Icepaw said excitment clear in her voice.

Crowshade headed off into the trees at a brisk pace. She looked behind her to see the white apprentice bounding after her. "This is your first time out so stay close to me. It would be best for both of us if you didn't disappear on the first day." Okay maybe that wasn't the best thing to say, but Crowshade was kind of nervous. "Soon you will know your way through the whole forest without any help!"

[Isilme]

The apprentice chuckled lightly, it was not her first time outside, maybe the first time without her mother but not the first time, even then Icekit only smiled and followed the warrior closely. "Father would never let me lost in the forest, he would put every able warrior to look for me I'm sure." The white cat said confident as always not sure if her mentor was aware that she was Froststar kit.

Wait who was this little apprentices father? Crowshade repeated her thought out loud, "Who is your father Icepaw?" She looked Icepaw from head to paw, and it finally clicked. "You're not Froststar's daughter, are you?" Now she felt really nervous. She was the mentor to Froststar's daughter! StarClan help me! Talk about pressure to be a great mentor.


She smiled a little to herself. She always tried to keep things light. Even though she was the mentor to Froststar's kit. She wouldn't panic. She would just do what any other mentors did. And what was that? StarClan please help me be a good mentor! I don't want to fail Icepaw or Froststar!

[Isilme]

Icepaw chuckled. "It just happens that I'm indeed, but don't worry I won't bite." The apprentice meowed feeling a little guilty to pressure her mentor that way. "I just want to train like any other apprentice, don't go soft on my because of that please." The white cat meowed now actually worried that the warrior would treat her different.

Crowshade meowed, "Right them! Lets go!" She continued through the woods making sure the apprentice was following. Good at least all that Icepaw wants is too be a normal apprentice, but I still worry about the father. I think. "You will smell the stench before you see the boarder.  It is horrible!"  SHe wrinkled her nose to emphasize her point.

[Isilme]

"What should it smell like?" Icepaw asked curious blinking big blue eyes at her apprentice, the apprentice had never actually reached the border before so she didn't knew how it should smell like. "Aspenpaw meet a sunsetclanner once! She said that Momma scared her as a fox scares a rabbit!" The apprentice said excited eyes shinning.

[Deleted]

"Stupid SunsetClanners," Crowshade sighed. She wanted to convince the apprentice that she was completely loyal to LeafClan. Even though... She cut off her thought. "They smell like... like cats that haven't cleaned themselves for moons. Then rolled in fish." She wrinkled her nose. Actually she didn't mind the smell. She liked the smell actually, and she was even getting a taste for fish. It was salty, but it was delicious! 

[Isilme]

"Ew, how can someone eat fish?" Icepaw though disgusted with the image it brought her. "I think I can imagine something like that but I can't imagine that any cat would be capable of doing that! Sounds just... Wrong." She said not really understand that sunsetclanners didn't really do that.

[Deleted]

Crowshade shook her head, "I know. It sounds awful. All slimy and sticky and so salty. Ick!" She was joking around. She wanted the apprentice to know that she was trying to keep everything light.

THey reached the boarder. "This is the MidnightClan boarder. It won't smell like fish. It will smell like oak. Not as bad as fish, but still."

[Isilme]

The apprentice turned her nose uo to catch the smell the wind brought to her, it indeed smelt like oak, tons and tons of them. "They live in a oak forest right?" She asked blue eyes focused on her mentor full of curiosity and eager to learn new things.
