    Mysticalpaw

    Mysticalpaw looks up into the sky. "Inferno.....gecko...night...ash....soot...knight...magic...sun....mother..father....golden...raven....." she whispered looking at each star. She shivered in the lonely den. "Goodnight" she meowed to the stars and curled up....remembering her life.....as a kit...as an apprentice...as a warrior.

    Apprentice Den

    A medium sized den woven out of brambles and reeds. Here, the apprentices may rest after training and also to share stories. -Bearstar
