Dapplepaw had had plans with her life. She'd intended to do it all - rise up the ranks, take a mate, start a family, and be a cat that the clans would remember forever. Somewhere along the line, though, she'd been nudged onto a different path, and now her life would be spent mateless and kitless, but with a paw in the stars. Truthfully, she wasn't sure how she felt about that, beyond being nervous. She hoped she'd get used to it. But...why wouldn't she? As a medicine cat, she was already high in the ranks, and sure to be remembered. Not only that, she'd be learning secrets few other cats were privy too. That was well worth the lonliness, right? Right. Everything would be okay. She was just nervous, nothing more. Finally, she reached her destination, and she curled up, waiting for sleep to take her. It was time to share in the secrets of StarClan. Pawsfun |

A path of stars led down to the sleeping cat. A snow-white she-cat bounded down the path. The cat strokred Dapplepaws shoulder. "Wake up!" She purred "Theres lots of learning to do!"
Icefeather flicked her tail and the den turned into the beautiful world of Starclan. A den formed around them and she took some herbs from the wall while wwiting for her.

She was jolted awake as her shoulder was stroked and she blinked up at the white she-cat. She had met Icefeather just before this meeting, but it was still so surreal, seeing a cat that seemed almost made of stars.
She didn't get time to dwell on it, though. Icefeather stated that there was lots of learning to do and then the world seemed to form into a medicine den. Dapplepaw stepped up beside her mentor and stared at the herbs, trying to see if she could remember anything from the times when he'd get sick or injured as a kit.

Icefeather purred
"You're up!" She mewed. "I think we should start with the basics."
She pulled a leaf out a crack.
"Borage leaves. They bring down fever and generate more milk. They are to be chewed into pulp. You can find them by looking at their blue and white petals on the flower."
Icefeather smiled at Dapplepaw.
"OK, next one. Burdock Root. It is to be used for infection and rat-bites."
She pulled out a huge thistle from the wall.
"Catmint. Used for greencough. You can't find much in the wild. Mostly in twoleg gardens. But you dont need to go in! Together we'll find a old garden, and tend it together. You'll have catnip in no time! Now I"

Icefeather purred at her, deciding they should start with the basics. Dapplepaw nodded and watched as she pulled a leaf from a crack. Her mentor explained that it was borage and that is was used for fever and to help with milk. She nodded along, doing her best to memorize the lesson. Borage - blue and white flower petals - fever and milk - chewed into a pulp. Easy enough, right? She repeated it a few more times in her head, hoping that would help, but soon enough the lesson continued with burdock root. She was silent through the whole lesson, concentrating and memorizing to the best of her ability.
Borage - blue and white flower petals - fever and milk - chewed into a pulp.
Burdock root - infection and rat bites.
Catmint - greencough - not found in the wild, taken from twoleg gardens and tended...how would she tend plants? She didn't know the first thing!
Panic rose in her, but she did her best to force it down. Icefeather would show her. She'd make sure Dapplepaw learned everything. That was what she was here for.

Icefeather flicked her tail and they appeared in the medicine cat den in Lighttningclan. She beckoned Dapplepaw with her tail and ran through the woods. She arrived at the old twoleg den.
"See these little plants? Well,to tend it, you have to make sure that no animals ate it, watch the wheather, you know." Seeing the nervous look on Dapplepaw face.

With a flick of the StarClan cat's tail, they were suddenly back in the medicine den. Before Dapplepaw could recover, Icefeather took off and she had to charge after her to catch up. The two rushed through the forest until they arrived at an old twoleg den. Icefeather pointed out the plants and told her how to tend them.
"I think I can do that..." She looked up at her mentor. "But how do I keep animals from eating them?"

Icefeather grinned.
"Mousedung." She smirked. She gestured at the stinky stuff spread around thecplants

Icefeather scooped some from the plants and turned to Dapplepaw.
"First you put in around the roots, then pat it down," She mewed, showing Dapplepw.

Icegeather grinned before answering with something quite a bit more disgusting than she’s imagined. Dapplepaw tried to keep the horror out of her expression as she watched Icefeather scoop up the dung. Was…was she serious? …Apparently, she was. Ew. But it was a necessary grossness, if it meant keeping her clanmates alive.
Icefeather explained how to use the dung, and Dapplepaw nodded. “That would deter me.”
