So peace had been broken before, Lionpaw mused. Not as surprising as it could have been, seeing that raids seemed to happen more often then not. A bit disappointing, though, that not all cats could follow simple rules. The apprentice supposed that there would always be those vengeful cats, no matter how at peace the rest of the world was. "Evil eras?" Lionpaw echoed in obvious confusion. It sounded... well, evil, but he'd never heard the term brought up before.

Pineapple looked back at Lionpaw. She sighed as she sat down with her restless energy and meowed, "Yes, the evil eras..it happened before I was born so if you want a full detail about it, the elders or older warriors can help you. In short it was this cat who decided that they wanted to take over all the clans. They killed one of the leaders and someone got 9 lives. They planned to take over the other clans with the help of their alliances and 2 clans were taken over. I forgot how it went but in the end we were able to drive them out and restore the clans."

The evil eras were a time where evil prevailed. Not the most original name for such a period, but certainly practical and fitting. To Lionpaw, it sounded like the clans almost got sucked into an all-out war. He pictured an evil cat standing atop a mound of dead bodies and had to crush down his urge to shiver. Thank the guardians that it hadn't worked. No cat would ever have wanted to live like that. "They got nine lives?" the golden tom repeated. "But I thought that StarClan granted lives! Did one of the good leaders defect or is it possible for the Dark Forest cats to grant lives, too?"

Doepaw was wonderful as well, a friend he was glad to have made. "Doepaw..." He meowed, reaching over to softly nuzzle her side as he was unaware of where her face was. "There... is... a lot... of... things... about... my past... I have... yet... to tell you... as... a friend..." Myrtlepaw sighed, pressing closer to his friend. "I... feel bad... because... there... is many... things... I meant... to... tell you... but... but I... have... not..." Truthfully, he had always meant to be more open with his close friend, because there was a lot of things going on in his life that he had always needed to just... tell to someone. He could tell it both to Shadedpath and Doepaw here. That would be nice. If she was okay with it... Myrtlepaw would just do it now.

Sometimes Shadedpath had to wonder how kits like these two found themselves with her. Before...in a much earlier time, apprentices and kits alike steered clear of her. And at that time she was just fine with that.

But now here she was with one using her for comfort, and another not afraid of her. And they're just...talking. Using her as a safe cat to talk things out with and it brought a calm expression to her as Myrtlepaw worked through his words directed at Doepaw.

The elder ran a paw down Myrtlepaw's back to reassure that it was safe to talk; that he could take his time.

Pineapple swished her tail in thought. "I don't know what actually happened but I think they somehow managed to be deputy or something...sorry kid, you might need to ask the elders or older warriors on that.." Pineapple looked down in embarrassment that she couldn't help the apprentice.

"Eh, it's fine," Lionpaw dismissed with a grin. While he was a bit disappointed that Pineapple didn't know the exact answer, the she-cat had been a great help in answering all his other questions. He didn't mind too much about leaving this one unanswered. Switching back to more regular questions, the golden tom asked, "So what else do apprentices learn other than how to fight and hunt? We memorize the Code... are we taught to swim and climb trees, how to fix nests, build dens, that type of stuff?" Lionpaw already knew how to do all of those except for the latter, but he wanted to know what clan cats taught their apprentices.

--Duskpaw--

Galloping out of the medicine cat den, Duskpaw searched for her mentor. She was so eager to train. Now looking back on it, Duskpaw and Foxbound hadn't been able to train at all together before her injury. Spotting the other she, Duskpaw began to run towards her mentor, smiling while she did. "Foxbound!"
The younger she's leg was fully healed and good as new with out the brace of rushes on it. And she was ready to train! They only had a bit of time left too it felt like!

[Shade.]

Pinepaw looked up blankly.
"Sure, I guess." She started grooming her pelt. Her bones were showing and she looked tiny as a mouse. Best time? Hah! Existence was only full of bad times. Though maybe it was less bad than expected.

(Lol Pinepaw is a girl)

Doepaw nodded. Or somewhat. She didn't fully understand what was going on, but her question had been answered.. So Shadedpath was Myrtlepaw's mom.. Or somewhat... That was what the actually quite clever apprentice had gotten out of this. But then Myrtlepaw started to talk about not being completely open about his past and it confused Doepaw. Because the little molly hadn't exactly been truthful or told her's either. The only one who'd she'd told her story to... was Flint. Her pa. He was the only one to know fully about the reasoning as to why she was afraid of birds... It wasn't as simple as just a fear of them... Nuzzling into Shadedpath as well as curling her tail around Myrtlepaw too, in comfort she felt maybe... maybe...she should speak up? She was the most comfortable here it seemed, well between her and Myrtlepaw at least. Shadedpath was there.. as a protector for them and she appreciated the larger molly for it. She was a steadfast presence. "I...I...haven't....shared... my.... past... either.... My... sister... my littermate... Dovekit... she was... born... deaf," she patted Myrtlepaw's ear for effect. "She... got... carried away... by... a bird... because... she didn't... hear it." Doepaw shook a tid bit. She remembered the swoosh of the wings of the bird as clear as day... and that had been the first lighting of her fear of birds.

The young tom had heard of cats training together, so he thought perhaps he and Buckbranch could train with Ivorypaw and Blackmoor.

Ivorypaw flicked her tail,” I’m suppose to be training tomorrow morning, so I suppose our mentors could make us do battle training together.“ she suggested. She didn’t want to chase off Comorantpaw so hunting was out of the question, she refused to kill prey, so that wouldn’t look good as a friend or sadly is this what a crush was?
