The moon was cast high in the sky, illuminating the world around Aconiteheart as he followed the worn path to the Starcave. While he never experienced the trail in life, he was certain he could find the cave without the light. Being confined to the earth during Ebonypaw's training gave him the advantage of exploring the unfamiliar territory.

Light flooded into the cavern through holes in the ceiling, and the spirit closed the distance between the crystallized rock.

"Ebonypaw," Aconiteheart acknowledged the apprentice accompanying him, turning from the crystal to face the tuxedo feline. "Are you ready to receive your full medicine cat name?"
