But that’s alright.” he hummed. “Your bearing has obviously heightened, your paws still work. You can still talk and run and communicate. You have nothing to whine about.” the warrior said, and rather bluntly. He knew this would come off as mean and heartless. But it was the truth. Her limbs worked just fine. Her ears became her eyes.

In the middle of his stretch a cold drop landed on his back, causing him do bend a little more than he desired. Many pops and cracks followed. After Doepaw’s quip he let out a grumble. “And you say you can’t hunt. You just hunt down the clouds themselves. And they’re silent!” he laughed. And as she covered herself in his fur he shot her a smile and beamed. “That and it’s cold. You’re fine.” he chuckled. He made sure to keep a slow pace, not wanting to walk too fast, making the younger unable to keep up. He didn’t mind the rain, or calmed the raging itch, the steady burn of his scars. No matter what he did or how many herbs he used. It was always there. However taking a dip in water seemed to be the only thing to soothe it.

“You know...” he started. The words leaving his maw as if they were a breath of air, an exhale. “You should work on your confidence more than your hunting skills. Having more confidence in yourself will help you with the hunting.” he wasn’t usually one to spew out advice, not one to give a lesson. Especially with the state he was in he wouldn’t be sure anyone would take his lesion seriously.

The small grey tabby female sat down as they reached a small overhang close to the apprentice den. The little molly didn't know that there was an actual overhang but she could feel the dry ground underneath her paws, compared to the wet and soggy ground of where the rain hit the ground hard. It was unnerving for her, it truly was to be on such ground where her senses did nothing and only those with sight would really be able to move freely. Her fur still pressed against Doeflame's she sat down more comfortably on the dry ground and mewed quietly, "I didn't wanna go all the way to the den... cause you wanted to stay out here, you seemed more comfortable in the rain. Like your movement got easier compared to mine that just went sluggish. And I guess you'll need company. Though I don't know about keeping others company."

Lying down she rested her head on her paws and turned her head to where she assumed that Doeflame sat. "I... I don't know how to work on my confidence... I just can't seem to do anything right and most get frustrated with me and that makes me frustrated with myself... I just wish I could see! I wouldn't be a burden on the clan... The little blind apprentice who wants to be a warrior... It'll never happen will it?" Her voice was quiet and saddened. It was the truth... Yet why had no one told her that. "What good is knowing when it'll rain? It is something as simple as hearing thunder and feeling no sun on your back... Everyone can do that. Also the moisture in the air... its just something that you feel... Just like this damp increased level of humidity... Its annoying!" Her pear green eyes sparkled in frustration and she let out a sigh.

"I'm not making anything better am I?" She curled up but quickly became uncomfortable and then stood up to pad out in the rain again to sit next to Doeflame rubbing her head against his shoulder that was already soaked. She was tired, her small rant having taking much emotionally out of the small female and she just leaned against the older warrior, her eyes closing although nothing really changed for the female. "I hope... that one day I'll be able to be normal. I remember you talking about my ears becoming my ears or something...but its just a big bother... I can't see things with my hearing. I am literally rendered useless by just the smallest change in weather!"

A sleeping apprentice with gray fur laid in his nest, asleep. He had been hunting almost all night by himself and needed his sleep. The tom heard other apprentice's stir, waking him up. He stood up and stretched his front legs. If I can't sleep I might as well do something. The apprentice gave his pelt a quick groom. He looked at the den exit watching a few other apprentices walk in and a few walking out.

Graypaw let out a low sigh, seeing that his friend Sunpaw was gone. She had recently joined Thunderclan after leaving Riverclan to be with him. He was glad she was with him, but he hardly ever got to see her due to the fact that she was knew and had to be here for a while before becoming a warrior. Graypaw was almost a warrior himself, but after he was found talking to a Riverclan cat he had been told that he had at least another moon until he became a warrior.

Graypaw looked over at another apprentice that had just woken up and decided to go and talk with them. He padded over to the other cat and then making sure that they were really awake. "Hey Spiderpaw! How are you this morning?", he greeted. He kept his voice low to not to disturb the cats that were still sleeping.

Nightpaw poked around his surroundings. This was his first time in the apprentices den. He sighed as he grabbed the fresh moss he had gathered and mage himself a spot in the front. After Nightpaw finished doing his best job, he looked around at the other nests wondering who would be his neighbors.

Mottledwing nodded. "Nevermind that for right now. I want to take a walk out of camp. You coming?", she asked. She needed to get out of camp for a while. The queen was always stuck in the nursery. Her son would be a apprentice soon, but she couldn't wait till then.

"Yeah I am." The tabby grey tom purred, he finally got to spend some time with his mate, time to clear out the bad thoughts, it's time for more happy times than bad things.

Mottledwing smiled and brushed against him before heading towards the camp entrance. She took on glance at Graypaw, shaking her head before she walked out of the camp.

Rockclaw's ear twitched before following his mate out of the camp, he smiled before looking back at his son then back at his mate.

Fawnkit's eyes widened "Oh my Starclan you're Passionstar! Leader of Thunderclan! The best clan!" She bounded around him a wide grin forming on her pale face. "HAHA," she yowled playfully as she once again bounded around the leader. When she eventually calmed down she stopped in front of him still bouncing on her paws "When I grow up, and I WILL grow up, I will have thorn sharp claws and I will be able to fight off anyone who wants to hurt me or any other Thunderclan cat!" She swiped right and left with her front paws at Passionstar's legs. She showed no shame in claiming to be Thunderclans next deputy.

(Sounds good to me !! )

''You best believe it, Kitto!'' Passionstar shared her excitement when she threw out that thunderclan was the best clan - and it was! Of course, he didn't show his excitement as clear as day as she did with the way she was prancing around him like a baby deer. ''Thunderclan's always the best no matter who's the leader.'' Passionstar didn't plan on leaving or giving up on Thunderclan any time soon, but he knew that Thunderclan would continue to prosper no matter who was in charge. ''Put it there, kit!'' He waved his tail about, bringing it in front of him as if he expected her to touch her tail with his, something similar to a high five among cats. Passionstar did like this kit's fighting spirit, her confidence was going to be needed when becoming a warrior. He watched her with amusement as she started swiping her claws at him. ''Look at you, lil molly! Already shaping up to be a good warrior. I might just have to consider skipping you becoming an apprentice and automatically make you a warrior.'' He teased, swiping back at her with one paw. He didn't need two with the towering size he had over her.

He asked tilting his head to the side, his tail was swaying side to side, as he looked up at Passionstar, the sun light made his pale green eyes shining, he didn't really have the energy to play right now, or it's just he never plays with anyone.

Passionstar believed that all kits needed essential exercise, or in this case, activity to enjoy their day. Playtime as a kit was valuable because once they became an apprentice, then it was more about work than play, and that wasn't fun. Passionstar grinned, his tail swishing behind him. ''Well, what do you like to do? We can play tag,'' He proceeded to hit the tom kit with his tail, ''Tag your it!'' He exclaimed, but then he got into a playful crouch, ''Or we can play fight. Rough house a little bit,'' The leader mirthfully swiped a paw at the kit.

Passionstar hopped onto the highrock, a yawn leaving his maw, but he fixed himself right up since today was important for the cats moving up in the ranks. ''All cats old enough to hunt their own prey, gather under the high rock for a clan meeting!'' His voice boomed, loud enough for everyone to hear. He would quickly start the ceremonies and celebrate to get them over with. It wouldn't take too long, as far as he knew, it was only two ceremonies he needed to get done with. ''Linnetkit, step forward please.'' he called to the young tom kit, ''You have reached your sixth moon and therefore is ready to start your training as an apprentice.'' He smiled down at him. ''Until you become a warrior, you will now be known as Linnetpaw. Your mentor shall be Wrenfeather.'' Passionstar appointed, eyes gazing towards the said cat.

Then, there were the warrior ceremonies. Passionstar's tail propelled behind him, ''Graypaw, step forward please.'' He called, nodding his head towards the tom. ''You have trained long and hard through the moons to become a warrior, and now it is that time.'' The leader began, having to love warrior ceremonies because new warriors were a delight to any clan. ''Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your own life?''

''I do.''

''By the power invested through me, from Starclan, you are now a warrior.'' Passionstar hopped down from the highrock just to touch his nose to the former apprentice's head. ''From this moment on, you shall be known as Graysun. The clan honors your determination and willingness.'' The leader congratulated the new ranked cats.
