Learner's Challenge

"I never understood why it was a thing that happens in this clan. I understand knowing if a kit is ready to become a learner, but I don't understand why they have to be thrown out in the middle of the night to find a full name when they know nothing about tracking by scent. This also goes off of if their parents care enough about them, or if they have friends in the learners den or a full name takes pity on them. I guess I understand knowing if a kit has the basics down from their kithood games and other items of such, and not just baring them if they make mistakes, but something just doesn’t sit right with me about this ceremony. Every clan is different though right, and I went through it so my kits will have to at some point as well.”

Everyone seems to have accepted the seasonal movement as a part of their lives. I do not understand how they are alright with changing homes completely every four moons; they all seem so happy to do so, sometimes not even bringing anything with them. They'll help me pack up my herb storage, of course, and the scouts and soldiers will take turns carrying the bundles that contain precious herbs... but why? Why must we move? It seems I no sooner get accustomed to a new place than we have to leave it, traveling to find some other camp to make. I hate the constant changing of homes, and I can only hope that the leaders realize how unfulfilling it is to have to change camps like we do. I enjoy the scenery we get to see, but this tradition is a strange one. Perhaps I will grow to love it one day, but my first impression of this moving of camps does not sit well.

Prompt: I Don't Understand Why These Medicine Cats Can't Just Get The Herbs Themselves! I Hated Going Out In The Meadow And Finding The Herbs, Even If It Was A Scavenger Hunt. Then, I Finally Got My Warrior Name, Which Was The Only Good Part. Meadowstar Needs A New Tradition! If I Was Leader, I Could Get Rid Of It! Although, It Is Cool That My Parents Did It As Well. I Guess We Should Keep It After All.

The Apprentice's Trial

Kestrelpaw stood anxiously at the water’s edge, glancing in at the stream that rushed past. Her fur stuck up as she resisted letting out a hiss as another apprentice bumped up against her, padding into the water. “Watch it,” she called out, but they were already gone.

Her mentor stood on the other side with a frown on his face. The other apprentices were already halfway across the river that marked the edge of the apprentice training ground – a forbidden passage to the other side. She let out sharp breathes as she put her foot forward into the stream, watching it cautiously. The icy cold water sent shivers down her as she quickly pulled it back, looking back up at her mentor, who just kept frowning, swiping his tail along the ground. Taking a sharp breath, she stepped back before launching herself forward into the river.

The apprentice tried to keep her mind blank as her legs hit against the water, pushing forward as the other apprentices began to reach the end of the river, pulling themselves out. Kestrelpaw closed her eyes as she tried to focus on her swimming. The current began to push her away as she began to put more strength into her paddles.

A sharp squeal was let out as Kestrelpaw opened her eyes suddenly. She narrowly avoided being hit as an apprentice was swept away by the current while one of the other mentors went running down the river, launching herself in. She pushed on, knowing if she faltered for even a moment, she would end up like that other apprentice. It wasn’t long before she reached the other side, hauling herself out of the water. She shook the water that clung to her pelt as she was greeted by her mentor, who still held a frown on his face. They walked along the riverbank as they were met by the apprentice who could not complete the trial. He had gashes along his front and back with sharp teeth marks in his neck from where he was pulled out of the water. His mentor led him away from the group of successful apprentices - back in the direction of camp.

As the other apprentices stood next to their mentors, holding their heads up with pride at being able to complete the trial, all Kestrelpaw could feel was shame – not at herself, but at her mentor for being able to condone such a barbaric activity.
