Ebonypaw,
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
The young feline had practically woken up with the rising of the sun, just in time to see dawn streak across the pale gray sky. The snow had eased as it slowly drifted from the low hanging clouds, hardly adding any difference to the white powder that covered the valley.
Curled within the comfort of her nest, two wide green pools opened as all sleep practically vanished. The familar scent and warmth of Sandblaze met her, though she hadn't been his ward for very long, it was still a comforting feeling having her mentor beside her.
Made the whole, Medicine Cat thing a little less lonely.
Picking her way from the warmth of the den, Ebonypaw made her way past Sandblaze's sleeping form, pausing to check on the breathing of Silentmask and Redclaw. They had recently joined in fresh moss nesting, sickness strong upon their breaths as coughs racked their weakened forms.
They seemed stable at the moment.
Slipping from the seclusion of the den the young she-cat made her way towards the fresh-kill pile, though it was small there was still a promise for breakfast to share with Sandblaze. After all, it would be rude for her not to offer him breakfast, nor would it be wise for them to be greedy with what little Stoneclan had for prey.
"You're up early, as usual." The tone was was proper but gentle as Rabbitfur padded softly towards her black coated daughter, green meeting green.
"Rabbitfur." Ebonypaw gave a respectful greeting to her black and white coated mother, bowing her head before lifting it back up to respond with a equally matched proper tone. "I see you are also awake early, border patrol or hunting party?"
"Hunting party, i'll try to bring you a shrew for dinner. I know you enjoy them." Rabbitfur gave a soft purr, only a small amount of public affection per usual. "And what are your plans today, dearest daughter?"
"Herb knowledge. Sandblaze promised he would show me the herbs used most during Leafbare. He hopes we don't have anyone else joining Silentmask and Redclaw." Though she was pleased her mother was attempting to find her favorite when it came to fresh-kill, excitement about learning herbs was in the forefront of her mind.
"Greencough is hard on the clan." The senior warrior responded more to herself than to her fluffy daughter, then with a sigh she flickered her tail, "Off you go then, you don't want to keep Sandblaze waiting do you?"
Not amused by her mother's humor, Ebonypaw quickly selected a vole that someone had managed to snag near the Rainclan border, gave a respectable bow goodbye to Rabbitfur and quickly trotted back to the den that she now lived in.
Setting the deceased creature on the cold ground, indenting the snow around it, Ebonypaw called out to her mentor, bobbed tail wriggling every so slightly. "Sandblaze, I brought breakfast."
