WaterFall Pond

(Yeah.)
Goldenflame continued on, back to camp.

Chaffinchpaw bounded to the waterfall, eager to start getting to know his Clan's territory.

Mousenose smiled then stood a few kittensteps away from the pond. "here is waterfall pond. It has one of the most pure sources of water in lightningclan." she looked towards Chaffinchpaw.

"Wow!" Chaffinchpaw meowed, eyes wide. "It's so pretty!" He sniffed at the water cautiously, as if afraid it might attack him.

She laughed and pawed the rocks borderlining the waterfall. "see? Completely unliving." she stands and looks towards a small bush. She pads over to it and lifts it. "come look over here chaffinch." she reveals something white and webbby underneath the bushes.

Chaffinchpaw looked up, seeing Mousenose walk over to the bushes. He followed her, watching the bush carefully. "What is that?" Chaffinchpaw asked her, looking up at his mentor.

She sweeper it with her paw, showing showing some to chaffinchpaw. "it's cobwebs. It's what the clan medicine cats use to heal cats who are bleeding." she puts a ball of it in front of him.

"Neat!" he chirped, reaching forward to sniff it. Chaffinchpaw licked the cobwebs tenderly, trying to see what they tasted like.

She laughed and pulled them away, looking for another spot of territory to guide chaffinchpaw to. Her eyes beamed and she looked north. "Next stop, Wildflower Hills!" she nudged chaffinch with her tail and smiled. "come on, just follow me."

Acorpelt half hopped half walked to the area where the pond was located, his paws finally starting to ache. Though he hadn't attempted to dig as much as Embereyes, his paws weren't as strong as they used to be. "Here," he mews, catching his breath. Tearing some moss out, he made his way down to the water as fast as he could.

She ran/limped after him, still full of energy. She took a big mouthful of moss and dunked it under the water. She lifted it back up, trying to keep every bit of moisture in the moss, "Why isn't there anything better to carry water?" she meowed crossly.

Chaffinchpaw looked worriedly up at his mentor. "What's happening?" he asked, flattening his ears nervously. "What are they doing?"

Mosenose cocked her head. "I don't know..." she brushed her muzzle against "uhh, wait here." she padded to them and cocked her head. "what's going on? Is anybody hurt?"

Acornpelt looked up at her as he, setting his dry moss down. "After the shaking, Embereyes and I found that one of the kits got stuck in the nursery when the tree fell in front of it. The ground is rock hard, so we are gathering water to soften it." He inhaled deeply. "Maybe your apprentice and you can help us get water." He picked up his moss and dunked it into the water. "Embereyes and I need to hurry back to camp, so we can have as much water as possible. He hopped up the rock, flicking his tail for Embereyes to follow.

Mouse nose nodded. "well do everything we can." she padded back towards chaffinch paw and sighed. "how would you like to do your first 'real' training assiggnment?" she smiled.

Embereyes ran after him, her fur fluffing angrily up at Mosenose not understanding the seriousness of the situation. Water dribbled onto her paws from the moss.

Chaffinchpaw's eyes clouded momentarily with worry, but cleared at his first real opportunity to help the Clan in a time of need. "I want to! What do I do?" he asked eagerly, ears perked forward in anticipation, unaware of just how serious this was.

Mousenose nodded and ran to the stream picking up moss quickly. "okay, first, you find prices of moss and dip them in the water." she dunked the moss into the water. "then you lift it out and carry it back camp- or just follow me." she demonstrated once more quickly, then took her piece and walked up the rock, the moss dropping slightly. "quickly, chaffinch!"

Chaffinchpaw nodded, dashing over to the stream where he scraped up a bundle of moss. He gave it a minute to soak up water, then picked it up in his mouth and hurried after Mousenose. Chaffinchpaw grimaced at the wetness, shaking himself briefly to try and dry his fur a little.

Mouse nose nodded and turned. "follow me quickly!" she began to run towards camp. -continue in le nursery-
