THE UNIVERSE MUST HAVE DIVINED THIS. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

Dipperstar had seen many of their clanmates die, including that of Stormjaw - Lilypaw’s former mentor. Until she called for a meeting, the leader had taken the responsibility upon herself to train the young she-cat. Leaving her den, she padded towards the apprentices’ den in hopes of finding Lilypaw. After all, it was just pass first light. The feline called out for the small brown tabby.

"Lilypaw, are you in there?" The leader didn’t want to invade anyone’s privacy so she remained outside, not daring to peak in. She hoped either Lilypaw or one of the other apprentices would answer, whether it was to tell her that she was there or wherever she was.

The cinnamon charcoal tabby sat down as she waited. "I’m hoping to take you out of camp for training." Her eyes scanned the camp, waiting.

[smear:#e6df19]LILYBEAM[/smear:#eeb600:0] [smear:#e6a619]I just need growth[/smear:#e5e619:0] Lilypaw was having the best dream, her paws twitching and more likely smacking Frogpaw who usually slept beside her. A voice would pull her from her dreams, however, and as her brain registered that it was her name being called she jolted awake and scrambled to her paws. Was Dipperstar calling her? Or was she in trouble somehow? As her mind frantically raked for any reasons she would be in trouble, the brown ticked tabby would pop out of the den, her fur still scruffed up from sleep, and she would smile brightly up at her leader. Dipperstars' words would only send a surge of energy through Lilypaw and she would do a small bounce as she meowed, "Really!? Training with you? Oh wow, let's go then we're burning sunrays!" The apprentice would lash her tail in excitement as she fidgeted as if her paws were ready to get moving. Because really, who else was lucky enough to say they had been trained by the leader of the whole clan?! Lilypaw thought about Stormjaw for a moment, looking up at the pink dawn sky and she would purr softly. She still grieved their death, but she would make them extra proud now! Just you watch me from up there, Stormjaw! I won't let you down. [smear:#e2f330]Female - 10 Moons - apprentice[/smear:#e6ae19:0] - speech

THE UNIVERSE MUST HAVE DIVINED THIS. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

Eyes looked to Lilypaw, nodding to the apprentice. Stormjaw had often spoken to her regarding the rather outgoing apprentice. He had spoken kindly and fondly of the brown tabby. Dipperstar had a feeling that there were complexities to this apprentice and hoped to see the young she become a great warrior within the clan.With a swift nod, the leader began padding towards the Calming Hollow. Paws were softly pressing on the ground as she moved, graceful and calm. Lilypaw had much to learn and had the boundless energy to back it up.

"Now, did Stormjaw ever take you to the Calming Stones?" Her words were inquiring, but not in a harsh way. The battle-marred felid had a feeling that he had, but one could never be so sure. "I’m just looking at where your next mentor will need to focus. Stormjaw, may he hunt well in the fields of AstralClan, spoke highly of you. However, he never spoke of what he had trained you on."

[smear:#e6df19]LILYPAW[/smear:#eeb600:0] [smear:#e6a619]I just need growth[/smear:#e5e619:0] Lilypaw would hurry behind Dipperstar, her bouncing steps light as she held her tail and head high in clear joy of training again. Sure, she had tried to hone what skills Stonejaw had already taught her before his passing, but she hadn't learned anything of new value since then. As Dipperstar spoke, asking about the Calming Stone, Lilypaw would brighten up further and nodded vigorously as she hurried her steps to catch up with the leader, "Yes! Turns out I'm a pretty decent climber and being up high is super fun for me! How high have you ever climbed, Dipperstar?" She lowered her voice as if she was telling the cinnamon tabby a secret, "I heard that's how you got your name, that you climbed soooo high that you reached the stars!" Lilypaw knew well enough that the rumor was simply a way the elders kept kits entertained and in awe of their new leader, but she found the story fun all the same. She would smile at Dipperstar, despite the agoutis' being almost old enough to join Goldenfang in the warrior's den, she was small compared to the impressive build of the leader, or any of the other cats in the clan. Stonejaw had always told her that because of how small she was, she'd have to work extra hard to prove herself, something that Lilypaw was happy to do. Especially when her best friends were so much taller than her and never let her forget it. "Climbing and hunting are my best skills." She would go on to report as she looked ahead, still trotting, "I'm a decent fighter but I'm better with a partner than solo because of my size. Stonejaw taught me how to use my speed and the world around me to my advantage, but I'm still in need of practice to make my moves perfect."
