Willowpaw followed his mentor through the open, grassy territory. "Where are we going?" Willowpaw asked. "To our border with ShadowClan, by the Thunderpath." Willowpaw nodded at his mentor's response. He knew they were finally there when he heard the roar of a monster rush by, pinning his ears back at the deafening sound.
His mentor stopped, sniffing the air. "ShadowClan. They're here, on the other side." Aspenblaze said, seemingly speaking to himself. His mentor looked back forward and walked closer to the Thunderpath.
"Hello, Aspenblaze!" A gray and black warrior called out, smiling. "Ratfang," Aspenblaze dipped his head as a greeting, "Hello, Starlingpaw." His mentor shifted his attention to Ratfang's apprentice, a beautiful calico molly with piercing turquoise eyes.
"Hello, Aspenblaze. Hey, Willowpaw!" Starlingpaw chirped from the other side of the Thunderpath. "Hey, Starlingpaw!" Willowpaw greeted, "I can't wait 'til the Gathering!"
"Me neither!" The calico molly responded.
"Well, we'd better get off back to training," Aspenblaze interrupted, "we'll probably go catch some prey and head back." Aspenblaze dipped his head, the ShadowClan warriors doing the same. "Bye, Starlingpaw!" He called out. "Bye, Willowpaw!"
Willowpaw followed his mentor, then spotting a lazy rabbit. "Aspenblaze!" He whispered, catching his mentor's attention. The silver warrior nodded to his apprentice, like he was silently telling him to go on.
He watched the rabbit bounce silently, waiting for the perfect moment. The rabbit was finally distracted, eating a berry. He pounced on it, slashing it's back open and causing a sea of crimson to pour out.
He picked it up and trotted back over to Aspenblaze. His mentor nodded, "Good catch." He complimented. The two toms walked back to camp with the rabbit.
"Cats of WindClan, it's time to go to the Gathering. Queens, stay here with your kits." Nettlestar announced as they walked in. Willowpaw set his rabbit in the rather empty fresh-kill pile. "We will now head to the Gathering." Nettlestar dismissed the announcement before getting off of the Tallrock and leaving out of the exit with warriors and apprentices following, one of them being Willowpaw.
