Goosepaw was dreaming. It was a wonderful dream, about his life in the barn. The sunlight filtered through the boards in the roof, turned the old hay that he lay on golden. He was watching a bird, a brown sparrow that flitted from rafter to rafter.
A thunderous rumble suddenly shook the building. The light vanished and a shadow as black as the night rose from the floor. Frost spread across the wood as it stalked towards him. Two more shapes appeared behind it, a snarling wolf and a giant cat that arched its back. They roared his name and surged forward, claws outstretched and jaws wide open, prepared to engulf him.
Goosepaw leaped to his paws, glaring and snarling at Morningmeadow, but he blinked when he realized who she was, and he fell back down. "Sorry," he mumbled. "I didn't... sorry. I'm ready."

Morningmeadow flinched as Goosepaw snapped at her, "Its okay." She said softly. She walked Goosepaw to the exit and said "Today, we are going to tour Riverclan's borders." She said. Goosepaw ought to know the borders, so she figured it should be his first lesson.

His expression immediately shifted from one of excitement to one of disappointment. No battle training? Come on, Morningmeadow, I won't have my entire life to prepare for this. Even so, he trotted over and tried to put on a smile. "Okay," he meowed, "after you."

Breezewhisker poked her head inside of the den, her frame blocking the sunlight coming through the entrance. She fixed her gaze onto Goosepaw and Shimmeringpaw, eyes kind but also containing no-nonsense sort of sheen. "Hey, you two. I'm taking you both on a small hunting trip. Meet me outside camp in a couple minutes, alright?"

Goosepaw raised his head to blink at the elder warrior, then glanced over at Shimmeringpaw. A half-smile formed on his face. He was going hunting, something he actually knew how to do, with Shimmeringpaw. She had stood up for him against Lionstar, and possibly convinced the giant golden tom to let him join. Even if RiveClan's leader hadn't taken her seriously, Goosepaw was still grateful. "Come on, let's go," he said, flicking her lightly with his tail. "Don't want to keep her waiting!"

Shimmeringpaw jumped up from Breezewhisker's sudden arrival and poking her head in. Her voice awaking the silver apprentice from her slumber, looking around she noticed that her brother Wormpaw, and her friend Owlpaw were already out. Bashfully the molly nodded at the senior warrior.

Turning her attention to Duck- no Goosepaw the she-cat gave a half-smile. Oh fox-dung, not hunting... A kernel of dread started in her stomach at the thought of hunting, her worst forte. Keeping her mask on Shimmeringpaw nodded and slowly and begrudgingly got up from her warm bedding.

wormpaw was fumbling around in his bedding, trying to fix it up. most of the apprentices were out of the den today-- either doing training sessions or were on patrol. however, the lanky apprentice was free for once and decided it was time for a cleanse! he tucked away the thrush feather shimmeringpaw had given him, hiding it away from any prying eyes. wormpaw picked up a pebble, humming as he thought carefully about it. "i suppose it can go, " he mew-- a sad tone in his voice. wormpaw picked the pebble out and placed it outside the den-- with the other junk. he let out a sigh, deciding to take a small break as he walked back in-- sitting down on his bedding. he closed his eyes, leaning against the wall.

Asterkit, no, now Asterpaw padded into the den, head held high, proud of his new title. His eyes were practically glowing as he scanned the den, he was eyeing out the best sleeping spot in the den, any spot that he could take that didn’t smell like another apprentice. Or maybe even if it did. He was better then most of them after all.
Asterpaw glanced over Wormpaw, eyes skipping back to the black Tom. “Oh, hello.”

wormpaw jumped, whipping his head to face the sudden voice. he blink, relaxing at the sight of his clanmate. "heya, " he mumbled out-- tilting his head as he squinted. familiar. ''you're asterpaw, right?" he questioned, sootpaw had spoken highly of the kit-- now apprentice. so it was nice to actually see the cat. he turned his body to face asterpaw, "liking apprenticeship so far?" he questioned, if any cat was picking on the new apprentice wormpaw was ready to stir some trouble up- kidding. ish.

Palepaw didn't want to be in there. It was crowded and stuffy and too small and he hated it. But with the cold outside, he couldn't find any place to stay and sleep. He had tried staying outside for as long as he could, only to reach a dead end in his attempts. It was too cold and cats were already coughing and sneezing just like his Momma was. The marbled tom stood outside the entrance for many moments, shuffling his paws before stepping inside. Inmediately, the warmth surrounded him, bringing a sigh of relief from his lips. He just needed to be in here long enough to get warm again. It felt like his paw pads were frozen and his tail was an icicle! Palepaw moved to the very edge of the den, sitting as close to the entrance as he could before curling up into a little ball. Just one night of rest in the den wouldn't hurt.

He watched the Tom jump at his voice, and tilted his head at the other Tom. Sootpaw had mentioned this thin black apprentice. He seemed slightly strange, but that was ok. “Yeah, my name is Asterpaw.” He said, narrowing his eyes slightly at the other Tom cat. He raised a kitty eyebrow, then rolled his shoulders in a mock shrug. “I like it well enough. I haven’t trained at all yet though.” He meowed
