Rhubarbpaw awoke to the sound of sweet birds singing, he yawned and got up, one paw at a time, he noticed Darkpaw was still asleep, so he went down to the fresh-kill pile but it was empty, no kill left, he looked behind him as a warrior approached him, "Hungry huh? Well, Badgerpelt will take you on a tour through the woods today, discover your inner warrior and get to know it," Rhubarbpaw's throat let out a friendly purr, although this warrior seem interested in what he was doing, the Apprentice let out a small meow, "I'm Rhubarbpaw, I was turned to an apprentice last night," the warrior glanced at him with a smile, "I know, I was preparing to be your mentor, but I guess our ancestors decided to let me help the clan a bit more!

"Badgerpelt, look, there's a StoneClan cat, there..." the black and white warrior fixed his eyes on a grey She-cat, they both wandered over but as they got closer, they realised she was dead....
