A Moment With You [Blizzardpaw]

Ripplestar waited outside the entrance to the medicine den, wondering if she really wanted to do this. She had already gotten her lives, had already returned, and was ready to discuss the return of RiverClan's strength. Her ceremony had changed her. She had the ability to hide her timidness, she could speak up...

Ripplestar was a new cat. Steeling herself, she entered the den. The smell of herbs and moss rushed over her, flooding her mind with memories of her apprentice days. Of the long hours spent in the medicine den with her best friend, helping out with his recovery. Of the moss games and the shared meals. Of the joint warrior ceremony and then the vigil. At least they got to be named together.

She shook her head, fixating on the present. "Blizzardpaw? I would like to speak with you if you have a moment."

Blizzardpaw was sorting herbs. As she heard Ripplestar enter the sweet-smelling den she turned to face the leader.

"Hello, Ripplestar. Sure, I can talk, what do you need?" The blue she-cat limped towards the former warrior. "What could she possibly need? Is it about StarClan? Kits?" Her curiosty burned her  short, glossy pelt.

Ripplestar paused to gather her thoughts. "Quite simply, I feel it is time for you to travel to the Moonpool to receive your full medicine cat name." She stopped speaking to let this sink in. While blind to the way medicine cats worked, she understood that a full name was only taken when the cat was ready, and she felt that Blizzardpaw was more than ready. "If you like, I will travel with you as an escort. I also feel that with your full name you should take on an apprentice if you like."

RiverClan was prospering. She felt that StarClan wished the Clans a new life, and she hoped that a full medicine cat could help inspire confidence in her Clanmates.
