prompt:Gentlepaw is a warrior apprentice. She also helps Fallenleaves treat wounds and sort herbs. One day, her mentor gets into a fight while hunting. Stoneclaw refuses to go to Fallenleaves, so Gentlepaw gets dock leaves and treats her. A couple of moons later she's helping to soak herbs when Fallenleaves asks her whether she wants to help gather herbs or go hunting with Stoneclaw. Gentlepaw says she wants to help gather herbs, but Fallenleaves, anticipating this, explains to her that she needs to focus on warrior training. Fallenleaves brings her to Stoneclaw, telling Stoneclaw to come to her den when they return. Once they return, Stoneclaw goes to her den. Gentlepaw wonders why she just can't be both. She talks to Silverstar, and she agrees to talk to them. Silverstar later holds a clan meeting, and Gentlepaw is named a warrior and medicine cat apprentice.
Excerpt from the full story:
Why couldn't she do both? Why couldn't she help Fallenleaves but also be a warrior? She had helped care for many cats before, and she enjoyed caring for them. She was just a caring cat. She also enjoyed hunting. It was nice to hunt with friends and clanmates. Maybe she should be a warrior. It wouldn't be as fun though as sorting or gathering herbs. But she could still hunt. She headed for Silverstar's den. "Silverstar?"
"Gentlepaw?" she called. "Come in, what is it?"
"I want to be a medicine cat. I enjoy collecting herbs and sorting them and treating wounds, but I also want to hunt. I enjoy hunting too."
"Where are Fallenleaves and Stoneclaw?"
"They're in Fallenleaves' den."
"Alright, I'll talk to them." Silverstar left the den and headed for the medicine den. Gentlepaw went back to the empty apprentice's den and fell asleep.
"Gentlepaw?" A paw shook her shoulder lightly. Gentlepaw opened her eyes. It was dark outside, and Stoneclaw was there waiting for her to wake up. "Follow me," she said.
Gentlepaw stretched and cleaned her pelt before following her mentor into the clearing. Silverstar stood on top of her den, and the clan was gathered beneath her. Gentlepaw sat next to her mentor. Fallenleaves was sitting next to the fallen tree, her eyes bright and happy. "Today I have a very important announcement. Gentlepaw, step forward." Silverstar looked at the apprentice. Gentlepaw padded forward, confused.
"Gentlepaw, is it your wish to follow the paths of both a warrior and a medicine cat?"
Gentlepaw had no hesitation. "Yes."
"From this moment until you receive your warrior and medicine cat name, you will continue to be Gentlepaw. Your mentors are Stoneclaw and Fallenleaves. I know you can do this, Gentlepaw."
Fallenleaves and Stoneclaw padded up to Gentlepaw, and both touched their noses to hers. From today on, she would be a medicine cat and a warrior. She was very caring for her clan, and now she could care for them in two ways. Gentlepaw's name was cheered around the camp. These were her cats, and she would care for them until her death.
