He finally had an apprentice to take under his wing. He was so excited! He sent Hollowpaw out to collect herbs as the den was constantly ravaged by various herb crises and disorganization. A helping hand was quite welcomed, even if he was a bit hard on his apprentice. It was a beautiful day out in the marsh even if the place stank. The herbs here were useful, however, and today was a great learning opportunity for his apprentice. Or so he thought. This assignment cannot be too much trouble. Right? Hollowpaw was competent enough. He had spoken too soon. He internally sighed as his apprentice sank into the water below. He let out a slight chuckle and hopped onto a log to place himself nearer to his apprentice. "Watch your step Hollowpaw, the ground is seldom as solid as it looks," he gently reminded the tom. Hard lessons would be learned early and quickly. That was something Rosewhisker instilled in him. He missed her and wished Cloudclan would speak to him. He needed her guidance.
