Description

For The-Warriors-Guild

For those probally wondering how Cinderstorm even know any herbs, i always thought mentor should teach their apprentice a tiny bit about herd because hey there isnt always going to be a medicine cat about. This is even shown in the actually book that one off the cats knew a little about herbs because the mentor show them. So that is why Cinderstorm knows about the few i mention. (I did research before doing this in the warrior wiki on certain herbs.) I hope this ok if it not please tell me and i will ediit it.

_______________________________________________________________

Cinderstorm yawned, crawling out of the dark warriors den, her mouth wide open as she greeted the day. The sun was getting higher, and there was a brisk chill in the air. She knew that she had a patrol to lead today though. Her Scorchflower and Sagepaw were going out to look for herbs. She was confident they could find what the needed, she knew a bit of herb lore from her previous mentor. She watch Sagepaw crawl out of the aprentice den as she waited for Scortchflower to wake up. She turned her head when she heard rustling behind her and she looked into the brown eyes of her patrol partner.

"Soon as we eat we will go," she said standing out and walking towards the kill pile. She picked up a vole and walked to a tree laying down to eat. Her partner sleepily followed behid her picking up their own fresh kill. They sat at either side of her eating silently. When they were down they washed their paws and face feeling invigorated.

"So we are going for herbs?" asked Scorchflower licking her paw and swiping it over one fuzzy-tuffed ear, her brown eyes sparkling.

"Yeah," nodded Cinderstorm her ear flicking. "We should head out soon it might take us awhile." She flicked her tail toward the entrance of the camp signaling that they should leave. The three she-cats rose to the feet and slinked out the entrance on the search for herbs. Cinderstorm knew they should probably find out what the medicine cat and medicine cat aprentice needed before they went but she was confident that they could find some of the herbs with her limited herb knowledge.

She knew about cobwebs that helped with bleeding and broken bones.  Juniper Berries  which helped breathing and soothed bellyaches. Her mentor had also told her about feverfew which lowered body temperature and she knew they would probably need that. They'd retrieve these and if they needed more they would go out and get it. First they would get feverfew, it should grow next to the flame pond. 

They trotted over there content on their plan, they hoped to get back before sun-high. Despite it being almost new-leaf the sun still cause it to be rather warm. Their was a chill in the air still that kept it from being unbearable. Soon they reached the flamepool. She spotted a patch of feverfew, much of it was dead because of leafbare but not all of it was. She pointed it out to Sagepaw. This is Feverfew, it helps reduce fever, if you go on a journey and get a fever you will need this; It usually grows by water.

Scortchflower looked questionably at Cinderstorm but she went a gathered some in her mouth before the moved on. They stooped at one of the few bushes and trees in the territory. Cinderstorm pointed out the cobweb to Sagepaw.

"That is cobwebs, they help with bleeding and broken legs, I'm not sure if we need them but it might be good to take some back anyway." she said watching her apprentice go to get them. The last thing they needed was Juniper berries. She knew most of them were probably dead because of the cold but she hoped some of them weren't.  They finally found a bit that wasn't dead and she praised starclan.

"Those are juniper berries, they help breathing and sooth bellyaches. They ussally grow in warm dry areas." She explained before picking some off the bush. They now had what she hoped they needed, as they walked back to camp in silence.

Sorry this was almost late, da downtime has cost me greatly. I really enjoyed writing a respone to this and I hope what I have done is ok. I read in the book that once of the cat on a journey knew herbs, so I though why don't other cat know of herbs? I mean even slightly :3

Yeah, the downtime was definitely a pain in my posterior too. XD  I expect cats to know a little bit of herb knowledge either from their mentors or from their trips to the medicine cat's den, maybe picking up a bit of what Emberstripe uses on them to heal them.  It all depends on how curious or attentive each individual cat is and how much their mentor would know of course, but that I leave to the discretion of each member in relation to their cat. :nod:  Cinderstorm assignment passed.
