"This is a dock leaf" Moonblossom told Featherpaw"it can help with sore pads and basic wounds" Featherpaw traced her memory to find if she's seen it. "You used it when Amberpaw got scratched the stick." she recalled. "Wow, I'm surprised that you remember that." The medicine cat commented "You where a tiny kit then." "I remember the scent" Featherpaw told her, confused. "Isn't that normal?" The apprentice asked, worried "No, it's just that your scent and hearing is very strong." Featherpaw relaxed, being blind made her worry that she's different from others.
"Oh right," Moonblossom continued "It's half moon tomorrow, I'll take you for your ceremony" Featherpaw gulped, will the other apprentices like her? The medicine cat clearly noticed her apprentice pause "You'll be fine" she soothed the young cat "You're a good medicine cat, just make sure you follow me." Featherpaw was glad she wasn't stubborn, or else she wasn't sure how she'd get there. "It's late now, get some sleep, we'll set of at sunrise tomorrow." Featherpaw felt excitement course through her pelt, this is it, she would be a proper medicine cat apprentice now!
The next morning, all the cats came out to see the Featherpaw and her mentor depart, for a moment, Flowermist came over and licked Featherpaw's ear"You'll be a brilliant medicine cat" then her littermates came over and mewed in unison"Good luck, you'll be great" glowing with pride, she set of after Moonblossom, her nose close to her mentor's tail.
When they got there, Featherpaw was panting, out of breath. "Do we have to do this every half moon?" she whispered, still trying to catch her breath. "It'll get easier as you do it more, just like you know camp, and I'll always be here to help you" Moonblossom comfort's her apprentice. "I just wish I has normal sometimes" Featherpaw muttered sadly. "Cheer up," Her mentor mewed "You'll find some new friends. Come on" Featherpaw stayed quiet, following her mentor's scent towards new scents, similar, but different. "Come over Featherpaw, this is Silverpaw, she's a similar age to you, a bit older but I believe you'll be friends"Moonblossom told her."Hi, I'm Silverpaw, you must be Featherpaw." a playful voice sounded beside her and she jumped a bit,"I'm Featherpaw" she replied shyly ducking behind her mentor a little. "This must be your first time here, it's alright, we don't judge cats by what their missing like warriors, only their medicine cat skills matter here!" Featherpaw nodded as they continued their journey toward the moonstone and after what felt like a millions of moons, they finally arrived"This, young Featherpaw, is the moonstone" Moonblossom murmured quietly. Featherpaw nodded and opened her mouth to try and remember the scent, it was different, the air was so still and she liked it, it was brilliant.
