The cats were cheering the names of the new apprentices and warriors. Silentpaw was now Silentstone, Rainbowpaw and Spiritpaw were now apprentices, with Goldeneagle and Wavesplash as their mentors. They really wanted to learn how to hunt and fight first, but Rainbowpaw knew that Goldeneagle would insist on showing her the territory first.

Rainbowpaw and Spiritpaw had just gotten done picking their places in the apprentice den when the mentors called them. They went out, each to their own mentor. 

"Are we going to explore with Spiritpaw and his mentor?" Rainbowpaw asked Goldeneagle

"I'm afraid not, Wavesplash had plans to check the ShadowClan border, but for you I think we should start out with the safer WindClan border." Goldeneagle responded

They walked out the camp entrance. For the first few seconds all Rainbowpaw could think about was the beautiful forest in the sun. She had seen some of the tall trees for inside the camp but never actually walked in the grass with the trees directly above her. She snapped back to reality when her mentor shouted from a couple fox-lengths away.

"Come on, let me show you the WindClan border!"

Rainbowpaw followed, barely able to keep up with her mentor. They finally got down to the top of the river. "This is the top of the territory," her mentor told her "and the river marks the border with WindClan."

She looked out to the treeless hills where cats were chasing prey. "What are those?" she asked curiously "I've never seen that food before."

"Oh those are rabbits. WindClan cats, you see, and very fast runners so they live in the hills, and eat rabbits instead of squirrels and mice." Goldeneagle replied.

As they walked down the riverside, Rainbowpaw was able to see a large mass of water more clearly. Eventually she asked her mentor what it was, and he explained to her it was the lake, where no clan specifically owned. He also told her stories of gathering they had on something called an "island" in the middle of the lake. "Maybe next moon, Firestar will let you come with us, too."
