When Hurricanes Wind awoke he got a low growl of disapproval from Moon Water.

"I knew I heard something last night!" she hissed.

"Well I'm sorry, I just wanted to see my mum!" Hurricanes Wind said, his tail drooping.

"Well you should be patient! I-" Moon Water was cut off by Silent Stream.

"Enough Moon Water, leave him alone he's just a kit!" She argued. And they broke off into a she-cat quarrel. Hurricanes Wind just slowly backed out of the den. I'll never understand she-cats. Hurricanes Wind thought. Well at least he knew that his mother was okay. when he stepped out of the den he was greeted by a small meeting in the middle of the camp. Hurricanes Wind strained his ears trying to listen.

"-the patrols, and keep a sharp eye on the border." Ordered a Riptide, the leader. Riptide than called out to a group of cats going to the fresh kill hole, asking if after they ate they could go on a patrol.

"Of course Riptide." replied one, and they continued to get fresh kill. Hurricanes Wind felt something pounce onto his back. He flinched and turned around to find High Tide and Low Tide rolling on the ground laughing.
(See what I did there.)

"Hey! It's not funny!" Hurricanes Wind yowled and chased after them as they began running.

Man they're fast. He thought as the twins bolted away.

When he caught up to them, they were joining two other kits, one was silver with dark blue colored eyes and dark blue markings that looked like water.

The other one was a stormy gray color with blue markings that looked like waves and ocean blue eyes.

"Hey my name is Tsunami!" The Stormy gray she-kit yowled and bounded up to Hurricanes Wind.

"Hi Tsunami, I'm Hurricanes Wind." Hurricanes Wind replied. He turned to the other kit, who sat a ways from the group. wonder what's wrong with him? Hurricanes Wind thought.

As if Low Tide could read his mind, she asked:
"Hey Tsunami what's wrong with Midnight Waters? he was fine a couple days ago."

"Actually I don't know. Ever since we were attacked by the dragons hasn't been himself." She responded.

They all just stared after the kit, until he eventually got up and bounded away towards a den.

"TSUNAMI GET IN THE DEN NOW!!!!!" A male voice shouted from the den.

Tsunami's ears fell back in embarrassment.
"Heh heh, well that's Storm Surge, I better get going." She bounded away rather quickly, almost tripping over her own paws.

Man does her dad have like, what, anger issues or something? Hurricanes Wind
Thought.

"Well we best be going." High Tide yawned.

"Yeah we shouldn't get in the way while Storm Surge is mad." Low Tide finished.

"Errr..... did we do something to make him mad?" Hurricanes Wind asked?

"Only time can tell. He will either skin is alive or feed us to the piranhas."
High Tide snickered. Hurricanes Wind snickered along side of him.

(Man now I want snickers :/)

"Hey, don't joke! He could actually
Be really mad at us." Low Tide fretted.
Only making the two Tom kits snicker even more, though only to earn a whack in the face by her tail. Again they laughed even more.

"UGH! TOMS!" She shouted and stalked away. Causing fellow tribe mates to stop and stare. They all had smirks or looks of amusement on there faces.
Meanwhile High Tide and Hurricanes Wind were dying of laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ :] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But pretty soon after that, after everything died down, at the time of Midnight, He and the two kits heard an unexpected call from Riptide who was standing on a tall Boulder that seemed to twinkle with moonlight. It was time for the nightly meeting, which happened Every moon. (Month, well I think that's how long a moon is.)

It would be Hurricanes Wind's first "Day of Joining together" as they called it since you weren't aloud to attend to one if you were a Kit that hasn't opened its eyes yet. It would also be all of the other kits too.

Almost all of the Cats of Water were joined around the tall boulder, since they still had camp guards. And they all were soon joined by Riptide, looking powerful.

Hurricanes Wind's pelt ruffled with excitement. He was sitting next to his father, and hopefully Riptide would tell the clan if Silent Stream and Sharks Fin were soon to recover.

All of the murmuring fell silent as Riptide began to speak.

"We are gathered today on our
Day of Joining Together."

Riptide continued rambling on about prey and how there was no sign of the dragons and BLAH BLAH BORING STUFF. Hurricanes Wind was so bored that he might have fallen asleep for a moment, until he was given a prod on his shoulder by his dad, who glared at him.

"- and now to ask Moon Water how her patients were doing." Riptide turned to Moon Water.

"Both of my patients are recovering rather quickly, I think they just might need a couple more days." She responded.
Riptide was about to continue on but was quickly interrupted by Moon Water.

"And actually Riptide, I would like to ask if Small Pond would become my apprentice as a Healer." She looked up at the leader, who looked at Small Pond.
Small Pond nodded.

"Alright than." Riptide braced himself before speaking.

"I call upon the Tribe of The Fallen Spirits to accept Small Pond as an apprentice of Moon water, I would like you to give her persistence to never give up on helping someone in need.
I would like you to give her Honesty And Integrity, and I'd like you to give her perseverance to reaching her goal as a full Healer of The Cats of Water."

Hurricanes Wind and the Other kits gasped in amazement as blinding white light surrounded Small Pond. and he has to look away. When he looked back, Small Pond still looked the same but had a small bottle of glowing blue liquid
tide to a string around her neck like Moon Water's. Hurricanes Wind was happy that it looked like her personality hadn't changed.
If that happened to me, what if I never was the same? Hopefully The Tribe of Fallen Spirits didn't take that away from you. He thought.
Pretty soon all of the tribe started yowling in unison.
There yield echoing into the night.
