Description Up above is the training hollow. They made it the training hollow because of all the logs on the ground & the little hill. Where you can jump off & your mentor can watch you train with others.


    Dovelight : "Mousepaw you want to be a warrior you have to learn how to fight. The past 6 moons have been hunting & battle training but now it is time for more battle training. We will learn more moves & try to make them better. Are you ready?"
    Mousepaw : "Yes!"
    Dovelight : "Okay then lets begin with the Back Kick."
    My brother Jaypaw enters the clearing. I can smell him as clear as day. He is med-cat apprentice of AmberClan. His mentor is Ambershine. I still can't believe he can not hear me. Jaypaw is deaf. When we were kits he was almost taken by an owl. I have been teaching him vibrations. So he can tell what someone is telling him but from ground vibrations. I am blind but I can Smell & Hear so well. Jaypaw can smell super well to.
    Jaypaw : "Dovelight , Mousepaw , Ambershine wants you to come & help me find herbs."
    Thunderblaze walks into the clearing he has no apprentice but he loves to watch the battle training happen.
    Dovelight : "Jaypaw why don't you ask Thunderblaze , I'm sure he is not busy."
    Thunderblaze : "Nope Not Busy At All , Just Got Back From A Hunting Patrol."
    Jaypaw : "Thunderblaze , Ambershine wants you to come & help me find herbs."
    Thunderblaze : "Okay then lest get going then youngster."
    Thunderblaze & Jaypaw leaves I smell there scent fading. I feel fur move & quickly duck our of Dovelight's way.
    Dovelight : "Good you were not at all surprised by me attacking you from the side."
    She attacks again I immediately duck & swipe my paw against her side. Claws sheathed. She attacks again from behind I roll & swipe at her belly. I run at her looking like I was gonna leap left she falls for my trick. I leap to the right & swipe my paw against her side & bite her hind leg gently. Then let go. She leaps at me claws unsheathed. I run underneath her & up a tree. Hissing & Spitting at her. Dovelight had clawed her ear & made it bleed.
    Mousepaw : "Claws sheathed , Claws sheathed , Your claws are unsheathed!"
    Tigerleap : "She is right you know your claws were unsheathed. Come down now Mousepaw."
    Mousepaw leaps down to stand next to Tigerleap.
    Tigerleap : "I will have to tell Birchstar. This behavior can not go unpunished."
    Birchstar,Ambershine,& Eclispefur walk into the clearing.
    Birchstar : "Mousepaw why are you bleeding what happened hear."
    Tigerleap : "Dovelight unsheathed her claws during training & attacked her. She clawed her ear. Mousepaw is a good fighter she held her ground well."
    Birchstar : "I see , Dovelight you will have to do apprentice duties for a half moon. Eclispefur take Tigerleap & Mousepaw out hunting with you. The prey pile is almost empty. Dovelight come with me we will talk when we get back to camp."
    I followed Eclipsefur out of the clearing. Tigerleap behind me. We reach the Sky Oak. I immediately hear a squirrel behind it. I go into the hunter's crouch. I follow the edge of the clearing ferns hiding me & fluttering in the breeze. I see it & I creep forward. I am right behind it. It looks at me & I leap. I break it's neck.
    Mousepaw : "Thank you for this prey MoonClan."
    I carry it back into the clearing. Tigerleap already has two mouse's & a vole. Eclipsefur had found a rabbit. We head back to camp. I bring the Rabbit to the elders. Then I bring it the mice & vole to the queen's.
    Daisyfern : "Leafkit , Honeykit , you two are so big why don't you go play outside. Tumblepaw will play with you. Mousepaw is that for us?"
    Mousepaw : "Yes Daisyfern! How are you today Scarletdawn?"
    Scarletdawn : "Good , Blazekit is just so cute. His eyes are opening. His father would have been so proud."
    Mousepaw : "Of course he would he was the best warrior here. Are you still mad because Northclaw was also Bramblefern's mate?"
    I leave the den & go out into the clearing. Dovelight is staring at me with menace. I see Birchstar get up from eating a squirrel. He leaps onto Highledge.
    Birchstar : "Let all cats old enough to catch their own pray gather around the high rock for a clan meeting!"
    Daisyfern & Scarletdawn come out from the nursery. Leafkit & Honeykit follow them. The elders Archtail,Creamynose,& Lilyclaw come to sit next to them. Brackenleap & Mousespring follow them they became elders yesterday. I see Stormshade & Honeyheart look proud they must be new mentors. Berrypond,Bravepool,& Spidertail are sitting together. Thunderblaze & Cinderclaw are sitting next to Deathleaf.
    Birchstar : "Leafkit & Honeykit please come forward. Leafkit & Honeykit you have reached the age of six moons ,& it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on , until you receive your warrior names you will be know as Leafpaw & Honeypaw. Honeypaw your mentor will be Stormshade. I hope Stormshade will pass on all he known on to you. Stormshade you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Brackenleap & you have shown yourself to be Caring & Brave. You will be mentor to Honeypaw & I expect you to pass on all you know to Honeypaw. Leafpaw your mentor will be Honeyheart. I hope Honeyheart will pass down all she knows to you. Honeyheart you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Redwing & you shown yourself to be Compassionate & Loyal. You will be mentor to Leafpaw & I except you to pass all you know to Leafpaw. Mousepaw come forward."
    I step forward wondering what is happening Dovelight look angry & Deathleaf looks happy. What is going on?
    Birchstar : "Mousepaw your mentor will be Deathleaf. Deathleaf , you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from Mousespring & you have shown yourself to be Honorable & Loyal. You will be mentor to Mousepaw & I except you to pass on all you know to Mousepaw."
    Clan : "Leafpaw,Honeypaw,Mousepaw , Leafpaw,Honeypaw,Mousepaw , Leafpaw,Honeypaw,Mousepaw."
    Birchstar : "Also Bravepool , Berrypond , Is it your wish to become elders?"
    Bravepool : "It is."
    Berrypond : "It is."
    Birchstar : "You clan honors you & all the service you have given to us. I call upon MoonClan to give you many moons of rest."
    Leopardstrike : "Birchstar I would like to become a elder. My sight is fading & I can not hunt as well. Also I would like to change my name."
    Birchstar : "Leopardstrike , Is it your wish to become an elder."
    Leopardstrike : "It is."
    Birchstar : "You clan honors you & all the service you have given to us. I call upon MoonClan to give you many moons of rest. Spirits of MoonClan , you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you , for it no longer stands for what she is. By my authority as clan leader. & with the approval of our warrior ancestors , I give this cat a new name. From this moment on she will be known as Fadesight , for your eye sight which is fading."
    Clan : "Bravepool,Berrypond,Fadesight , Bravepool,Berrypond,Fadesight , Bravepool,Berrypond,Fadesight."
    Leafpaw & Honeypaw go to their parents. Me & Jaypaw's parents are gone they were killed in the flood. Deathleaf walks up to me & signals with his tail to follow him. We walk towards the training hollow. He turns towards me & jumps. I jump to the side & swipe my paw against his side. He leaps again but this time he goes high. I swish under him & swipe his belly then bite his hind leg gently. Pulling him from the sky. I jump & pin him down.
    Deathleaf : "Good now let me up."
    I let him go. He gets up & shakes off the dust.
    Deathleaf : "Good , Soon you will be the best hunter of AmberClan. Now go get some moss & clean the elders den out. I must talk to Birchstar to see if he wants to expand it."
    I shake my head & go find moss. I head back to camp when I hear a commotion. I run back to camp to find. Birchstar be held by rouges East,West,& Southpool. They were exiled for killing Bramblefern & Briarpaw. I leap onto Southpool. We fight. She leaps at my throat , I leap to the side & bring my unsheathed paw against her flank. She flinches , I jump on her , She is pinned. I bite her shoulder. Stormshade comes & helps me pin her down. We soon learned out that Birchstar was on his last life & had died. Lilyseed would have to go to the Sacred Grove with Ambershine to get her nine lives. West & East had already fled the scene. We dragged Southpool to a cave in the cliff wall & out her in there. We put a bramble gate in front of the entrance. Stormshade & Honeyheart stayed to guard her. Deathleaf walks into camp. I get a whiff of his fur & smell East on it.
    Mousepaw : "He & East are mates. I smell new born kits on his fur."
    Lilyseed : "I smell it too. Tigerleap,Cinderclaw,Spidertail,& Mousepaw go & search the forest find them."
    I follow Cinderclaw & Tigerleap out. Spidertail behind me. We follow Deathleaf's scent to a garlic patch. I see them in the middle. I go around the outside & pick his scent up once more. I signal with my tail to be quiet & follow me. They do as they are told. We stalk forward to a clearing. Among the roots of a maple tree is East. West is teaching five kits how to fight. I leap at West before he could conk the kit over we start fighting. Tigerleap comes to help me. Cinderclaw & Spidertail are fighting East. I jump out of the fight & run to the kits.
    Mousepaw : "My name is Mousepaw , Come with me if you want to live."
    I slide away two she-kits & two tom's follow. The third tom jumps in the fight to try to save his Mother he is thrown aside , dead. I take the other ones back to camp. when we get there DriftClan is attacking us. I take them to a tree with a hollow in it. I put the kits in it. When Daisyfern,Scarletdawn,& Blazekit come out of the bushes.
    Mousepaw : "Don't let anyone hurt these poor little scrapes."
    Scarletdawn : "There you go Blazekit drink up. Squirrelkit,Rosekit,Furzekit,& Bramblekit come here. There you go drink up little ones."
    Mousepaw : "Those are beautiful names. Daisyfern come stand guard with me so now on attacks them."
    We had to fight off two DriftClan cats. We have minor scratches from the fights. Tigerleap,Cinderclaw,& Spidertail come out of the bushes. I signal them to go help the camp. They leave. I saw Spidertail had a serious wound. I held him back & made him lie down. I put a cobweb dressing on the wound. I was a med-cat apprentice for 1 moon then Jaypaw became the med-cat apprentice & I became Dovelight's. Deathleaf comes out of the bushes.
    Deathleaf : "YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE!"
    He leaps at Daisyfern & kills her. I dive at his back & claws out his fur. He tries to roll but I jumped & landed on his belly. I scratched at his belly. It was like a blood bath. He rips my shoulder fur out. I jump away. He looks at me & says.
    Deathleaf : "The No Landers will rise & kill you all." (He Dies)
    Hollow comes out of the bushes. She is DriftClan's leader. She looks at me with hatred. Then she looks behind me to where Spidertail lay down & Scarletdawn lived with the kits. She leaped at Spidertail. I was not quick enough he died underneath her paws. I leap at her. I feel her mussels beneath me. I grip onto her shoulders. I bite down on her ears. She yells & screams. I kick my hind legs against her side spraying blood on the ground. She shakes me off & trues to leap on me. I skid out of the way & bite down on her hindleg. She scratches the my face with her long claws. I bite her neck tearing off flesh. She steps back & falls to the ground. Dead underneath my paws. I look back & their is Bone descending upon Scarletdawn. Two cats leap out of the forest & kill him. Tigerleap & Cinderclaw come out of the bushes to see them do it. They look at me & nod their heads. They signal for the cats to follow them back to camp. They pick up the kits. I see Bravepool on the ground with Berrypond next to him. He died heroically. I see many more bodies on the ground. Most of them from AmberClan. We bring Scarletdawn & the kits to the nursery. Lilyseed & Ambershine are not here they left before this happened. Jaypaw is overwhelmed. I go over to him & help put cobweb casing on wounds.
    Mousepaw : "Who are you , Why did you help us?"
    Trumpetnote : "I am Trumpetnote this is my mate Flutesong we come from far away. We wish to join AmberClan"
    Mousepaw : "You can sleep in that den over there , Lilystar will talk to you tomorrow."
    The next day Lilystar & Ambershine walk into camp. Tigerleap & Cinderclaw go to talk to her. Lilystar walks across the clearing well Ambershine helps Jaypaw check cats. Tonight Jaypaw will be going to the Scared Grove with Ambershine. Lilystar walks up to Trumpetnote & Flutesong it looks like she is allowing them into our Clan. Lilystar jumps onto Highledge.
    Lilystar : "Let all cats old enough to catch their own pray gather around the high rock for a clan meeting!"
    The cats reaming pick their way through the carnage to find spots to sit. I go and sit next to Jaypaw & Ambershine. Scarletdawn comes over to sit with me. Archtail & Berrypond sit in front of the nursery protecting the young ones inside. Foxstripe sits next to Leafpaw & Honeypaw. Blizzardshine,Singingwind,Thistlewhisker,& Flamewatcher sit together next to the clan tunnel. Honeyheart goes & sits next them. Dapplebark comes out of the nursery her kits are due any day now. Brindleface goes to sit next to her. Ivycall & Thornstrike sit close to me. Lilystar calls me,Trumpetnote,& Flutesong forward. I stand up & walk as close as Highledge as I can.
    Lilystar : "Trumpetnote & Flutesong are new members of our clan honor them like you honor me. Now Mousepaw. I , Lilystar , Leader of AmberClan , Call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code & I commend her to you as a warrior in turn. Mousepaw , do you promise to uphold the warrior code & to protect and defend you clan , even at the cost of your life?"
    Mousepaw : "I do."
    Lilystar : "Then by the powers of MoonClan , I give you your warrior name. Mousepaw , from this moment on you will be known as Mousesong. MoonClan honors your Courage,Dedication,Honesty,Initiative,Patience,Strength,& Warmth. We welcome you as a full warrior of AmberClan."
    Clan : "Mousepaw,Mousepaw,Mousepaw , Trumpetnote,Trumpetnote,Trumpetnote , Flutesong,Flutesong,Flutesong."
    I thank Tigerleap for telling her what I did. I here a commotion I look & see Ambershine plus Jaypaw go into the nursery. Thistlewhisker & Flamewatcher come out of the nursery both looking proud.
    Thistlewhisker : "Dapplebark has given birth to 3 toms & 2 she-kits!"
    Flamewatcher : "Brindleface has given birth to 1 tom & 1 she-kit."
    I wonder what there names will be. Dusk is approaching. I get up & grab a squirrel from the fresh kill pile. I eat when Trumpetnote & Flutesong come up to me.
    Flutesong : "I would like to know who is the med-cats here?"
    Mousesong : "Ambershine & Jaypaw." (I point with my tail)
    They leave to go talk to Ambershine. I chow into the squirrel. When I am done I get up to stand guard in silence. When I look around I see Ambershine & Jaypaw quickly leave for the Sacred Grove. Thistlewhisker comes up to me.
    Thistlewhisker : "Dapplebark would like to know what you would name the kits. Can you come help her quick before your vigil."
    Mousesong : "Yes."
    I follow him into the nursery. Scarletdawn looks up as I come in. Blazekit,Squirrelkit,Rosekit,Furzekit,& Bramblekit were nuzzled into her sleeping calmly. I go up to Dapplebark.
    Brindleface : "Hey Mousesong , this is Ashkit & his sister Sandkit."
    I nod in their direction & continue heading toward Dapplebark.
    Dapplebark : "Thank you for coming."
    Mousesong : "Of course , Okay that tom looks like an Owlkit. These other two look like a Brackenkit & Thornkit (Pointing at each one). Now for the she-kits. Okay so she looks like a Shadekit. The other one looks like a Sparrowkit."
    Dapplebark : "Owlkit,Brackenkit,Thornkit,Shadekit,& Sparrowkit , I like it thank you so much Mousesong."
    Mousesong : "Of course , Bye."
    I leave the den. Dusk is here. I quickly leave camp to stand in front of the thorn tunnel. I hear the crickets chirp out in the distance. Foxes settling in for the night. I still cannot believe I am disabled. I lost my left eye due to Hollow. Also my left ear is in tatters. I see Ambershine & Jaypaw in the distance settling in for a dream at the Sacred Grove. Jaypaw might get his med-cat name today who knows. During the night Trumpetnote leaves saying he was going night hunting. I do not believe him. I cannot leave duty so I don't say a thing. He comes back with a couple of mice. As he walks pass me I smell DriftClan on him. Not just many cats but one Ebony their med-cat. I smell her scent on the breeze. She is leaving her clan & is going to join ours. Flutesong comes out of camp like a blizzard. I put my tail on her shoulder. I put my nose in the air & sniff. She does the same. Her look became puzzled & she did not recognize it. I whisper silently.
    Mousesong : "That's Ebony med-cat of DriftClan. She is leaving them to join us. She is mates with Trumpetnote. When she comes he will make a big scene. Flutesong break up with him tonight. Your kits will grow up strong but you do not need him in the picture. Ebony is already expecting a litter with him. I want her to join our clan she knows so much. Also I know something that will shock everyone. Go back inside & do it."
    Flutesong leaves to go back to camp. I hear arguing & Trumpetnote comes out & sits down next to me. Ebony walks out of the bushes.
    Mousesong : "Trumpetnote guard the camp. Ebony follow me."
    She follows me into the clearing. Flutesong looks up at me I say.
    Mousesong : "Guard her I'll get Lilystar."
    I jump onto Highledge then into her den. I nuzzle her awake. When she sees me her eyes flare up. I signal for her to follow me. When we get into the clearing her eyes of hatred turn to surprise. Just then dawn broke. Ambershine & Jaypaw come into camp.
    Ambershine : "Jaypaw in now Jayheart."
    Jayheart : "No need to brag."
    Lilystar : "Let all cats old enough to catch their own pray gather around the high rock for a clan meeting!"
    She jumps onto Highledge. Droopy cats walk out of their dens. Once everybody is situated Thunderblaze walks into camp with Frostheart's body.
    Thunderblaze : "I found her by the abandoned twoleg nest. Ambershine's fur in her claws."
    Everybody lest out gasps of surprise.
    Lilystar : "Ambershine you are hereby exiled you can never come back."
    Ambershine : "Okay then bye."
    Turtlewhisker : "Wait , Eclipsefur,Thriftpaw,Flippaw,& I have decided to come with her. We are leaving to join CloudClan."
    Ambershine : "Yes we are come along we are not wanted here."
    They leave camp & everybody here is shocked. Singingwind is crying her only kits have left her. Her mate Blizzardshine comes & comforts her.
    Lilystar : "Jayheart you are now are med-cat. Ebony do you wish to join AmberClan under a full clan cat name?"
    Ebony : "I do."
    Lilystar : "Spirits of MoonClan , you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you , for it no longer stand for what she is. By my authority a clan leader & with the approval of our warrior ancestors , I give this cat a new name. From this moment forward she will be know as Ebonypool for her calm attitude that never wavers. Would you like to be a warrior or med-cat?"
    Ebonypool : "A warrior , I am expecting Trumpetnote's kits."
    Trumpetnote : "It is true , Flutesong broke up with me a couple of days ago & I found her wandering in out forest. I gave her the idea to join."
    Lilystar : "I see , Welcome to AmberClan Ebonypool."
    Clan : "Ebonypool , Ebonypool , Ebonypool , Ebonypool."
    I walk up to my brother but he turns away from me. I walk out of camp & head toward the river when a cat attacks me. He pins me down & says.
    Strange Cat : "Go to the Tribe of Swift Wind they need your help take Robinear with you. When the time comes when Shadekit is your apprentice you must journey west to the mountains."
    He leaves me in a strange state.


THE END
