"Greetings, I'm ...
"Greetings, I'm Oceanstar. This is my Clan, a Clan on an island in the ocean!" She walked across a tree bridge onto an island. Oceanstar walked through a tunnel of low hanging trees and entered a large island. "This is our territory. We are water cats, we love to swim and fish. I will give you a tour of the camp, but if you join, I will give a tour of our territory." She walked into a small forest of trees into a clearing. "This is our camp. The big stone at the far end is the High Stone. That is where I call Clan meetings. That hollow tree trunk over there is the apprentices den. There is another tree trunk, a smaller one, inside the trunk, that is kind of like a table that the apprentices eat at and share tongues." They continued their tour at the nursery, where there was a faint scent of milk and kits. "My sister once was living here. She died last moon, with her kits." Oceanstar became to sniffle, but stopped, "We must continue with the tour. Let's go to the warriors den." They walked towards a clump of brambles. "This is the warriors den. I used to be sleeping here, until a StarClan cat told me to go to the moon rock. The moon rock is kind of like the moonpool, but it's a rock on a part of the beach. Let's carry on at the elders den. It is a bush of brambles with a branch ceiling. Let's go to the medicine cat's den." They walked into a large rock with a crack in it. "The crack leads towards a small cave with two tunnels leading out of it. One of the tunnels leads towards the main and the med. apprentice's den, and the other one leads towards the herb store. The small clearing when you first walk in is where the sick cats stay. It's also where the water spring is. I'm going to show you my den, alright? Let's go!" Behind the High Stone is a cave covered with sand as a floor. "The cave is my den, but it isn't hidden from the rest of the Clan. That is my Clan, and I hope you will join. Why don't you get some fresh-kill, and I will show you to your den. Thank you, and may StarClan be with you!"

"If we will be naturals in no time DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN BECOME WARRIORS!" she mewed hopefully.

"Oh, I could have won, but your fluffy coat was blocking my sight," Falconpaw joked to Yarrowpaw. Yarrowpaw tried to bat Falconpaw's ears, but she ducked.
Suddenly, Whispertide went rigid, his ears pricked. A sqirrel scuffled nearby, and in an instant, Whispertide was slowly stalking it. Just as he was about to pounce, the squirrel sensed him and tried to dart up a tree. Whispertide was right on its tail, and on one of the branches he caught up to it and quickly killed it. As he carried it down, the apprentices stared at him with amazed eyes. "Wow! Could you teach us how to chase squirrels like that?" Yarrowpaw asked. "We really should focus on catching fish and swimming," Whispertide replied with a glance at Oceanstar. "You two are naturals at that. But, yes I could show you how to catch a squirrel. In my old clan, that was what our talent was."

"Yarrowpaw, I think that that is Whispertide's decision on when you can be a warrior. But Falconpaw, come to my den after training. I have something to talk to you about. Now, come and practice swimming." They went to the training pool, and Oceanstar displayed how you kick your paws forward, always keep your chin above water, and kick back with your legs. "Both of you are doing wonderful! Aren't they, Whispertide?"
(May 11, 2010 - 8:39 pm)
"Whispertide can i be a warrior? Please!" she asked as she waited for a reply.
(May 11, 2010 - 10:26 pm)
"Well of course you can be a warrior! Not right this instant, but you and Falconpaw are fast learners. I can give you your final assessment soon. Then you'll progress to being a warrior. You will probably mentor one of Clovertail's kits. Maybe someday you'll even be deputy or leader. Who knows?
For now, I want to see a few mice and fish caught for the Clan. You've learned all the hunting skills. We just need to finish up battle training. Tomorrow, I have some new moves to show you."
(May 13, 2010 - 8:18 pm)
"Yay! I'm soooooo excited! I guess I should go hunting now then." She dropped into a hunter's crouch and began to stalk a mouse. Then the mouse pricked its ears as some leaves rustled and darted away. But it was too slow and Yarrowpaw killed it in one swift bite. "Well now that I've got that mouse, Whispertide said that he wanted me to get a fish." So she padded over to the river and, making sure her shadow wasn't looming over the water, she waited for a fish. She brought the mouse and fish and a shrew and vole back to camp.
(May 14, 2010 - 8:07 pm)
"Falconpaw, come to my den please. What warrior name would you like to have? I could choose it for you, as the tradition, or you could tell me what type of name you would like."
The Next Day!!!!
"Falconpaw, today is your final assessment. You will be hunting in the stretch of woodlands, near the fish pond. Your assessment will be with Yarrowpaw, if Whispertide agrees. Remember: I will be watching you. You will not see me, but I am always watching you. But I can't help you. Don't ask for help, don't talk to passing rouges or loners, and if you get hurt, yell my or Whispertide's name. Good luck!"
(May 14, 2010 - 9:14 pm)
"What are the battle moves you wanted to show me Whispertide?!" she asked.
(May 15, 2010 - 10:28 pm)
"Oceanstar, you can pick my name. Now I guess I'd better start the assessment," Falconpaw padded out of the camp. She trotted through the forest quickly, but not loud enough to scare away prey. Suddenly, she saw a plump mouse scuffling in some dry leaves. Falconpaw remembered to stay downwind and began to creep up on the mouse. Bunching her haunches, she pounced, killing it with one swift blow. She looked around, hoping Oceanstar had seen that.
Later on, after catching a shrew and two more mice, she arrived at the pond. Staring intently into its depths she waited for a fish. Remembering to keep her shadow off the water, she waited patiently. Finally, she snatched one out of the water. It tried to flop away, but she quickly killed it. She thanked StarClan for all the fresh-kill she had caught. She began to head back to camp.
One the way back, Falconpaw spotted a strange cat crossing the tree bridge. Falconpaw sniffed a kittypet scent around the strange cat. It was probably just lost and curious, but Falconpaw went to find Oceanstar anyway.
Just so you all know, my class is going on a three day field trip so I won't be able to write.
Where are you going? Write us about the trip after you get back.

"Come on, Yarrowpaw. I'll show you those battle-moves." Whispertide led Yarrowpaw out of the camp.
The Next Day
"Yarrowpaw, I think it's time for your final assessment. Falconpaw is having hers too. Go and catch some fresh-kill while I watch. I'll always be hidden. Remember everything you've learned. If anything really bad happens, just yowl and I will come help you."
This is just a heads up, my class is going on a three-day field trip so I won't be able to write.

"Yay my final assessment!" (sorry i have to do homework so I can't post the whole assessment.) So far she had caught a shrew, a fish, and 3 mice. "Hmm I think I should probably get one more thing." She heard a vole and dropped into a hunter's crouch. Then she caught the vole in one swift bite and heard a rustle in the bushes. "A Kittypet!" she snarled. "It must be the one Falconpaw was talking about. Thank StarClan for all the prey." Then Yarrowpaw went to find Whispertide.
(May 17, 2010 - 7:50 pm)
"Congratulations, Falconpaw! You did wonderfully! I'll tell you more about it later on, but first you need to tell me about that kittypet crossing into our territory. Your senses are wonderful! Tell me more inside my den."
(Since Falconpaw's going to be gone for a while, I'm just going to make up a story. It was a hurt kittypet who was looking for help for her kits. How's that?)
(May 17, 2010 - 8:57 pm)
"Congratulations, Falconpaw! You did great! Come to my den and tell me more about that kittypet, will you?"
(Since Falconpaw will be gone for a while, I'll make up a story. How 'bout it was a hurt kittypet who needed help for her kits.)

She gazed at the apprentices as she gathered herbs with Fireflight. "Do you think you could catch some prey? You must be bored with collecting herbs," she remarked to her apprentice. "I'll finish up here." She gathered up her herbs and continued to pick some stalks of horsetail.
(May 18, 2010 - 7:19 pm)
"Really thanks Summerberry!" she meowed gratefully. Then she padded out of camp. She could smell a mouse so she dropped into a hunter's crouch and pounced onto it and killed it in one swift bite. After she caught some more prey she returned to camp and walked into the medicine den.
