    OOC: I bought a prophecy/visit from Starclan so its all good. Shadowpaw needs a mentor, friends, etc.
    IC: Shadowpaw slunked down into a nice bed of moss after going hunting and training all day by herself. She looked once more at her scar stained body. Her black fur blended in with the den, the white spot on her chest showing even more in the darkness, and her grey underbelly going in between. Her grey eyes held no emotion as she closed them and drifted off to sleep.


    ***DREAM***
    Shadowpaw was surrounded by darkness, she couldn't see a thing. She looked everywhere, then found a light and rushed towards it. She came out to a horrific sight.
    It was a burned down forest, the flames still going and cats lay dead, burned alive, everywhere. She closed her eyes and reopened them to another horrific sight. Near a lake, was a battle field with blood everywhere, cats still fighting and motionless bodies lay everywhere.
    She couldn't take her eyes off of the fight. But, the cat that really cought her attention, was one that looked EXACTLY like her! But... Bigger, fiercer, more dangerous. The look-alike cat approached her with a grim smile,"Hello, young one." sai the she-cat look-alike.
    "H-hi..." replied the young apprentice.
    "Take a good long look here, Shadowpaw."
    Shadowpaw obeyed and watched the cats collide and attack one another,"W-what is all of this?" she asked hesitantly, looking at the she-cat.
    "This is your future. You see all of those cats, whom seem to be winning?"
    She nodded.
    "Those are your followers. Your side is winning this great battle." the older she-cat started circling Shadowpaw,"You must embrace your inner self that is just raging to get out! You seclude yourself from everyone, because you are afraid to be shunned by everyone else. Because, deep down, you are afraid you will let your true nature out on someone who you are close to. Therefore, if you are not close to anyone, you think it won't happen. But, you must start now! Embrace your true side! Find followers! Gain allies and make enemies! Maybe even find a mate if you wish. Just live your true destiny!"
    "who-who are you?!"
    The she-cat stood tall, chest filled with pride as she told Shadowpaw,"I am you."


    ***END OF DREAM***


    Shadowpaw awoke with a gasp,Was that really me? Will I become that? Is that my future? She thought to herself, standing. She thought more about it and didn't really mind the idea of being successful, but, causing all of that distruction?
    She decided to listen to her dream.

    (OOC: I was thinking Silverfur could be her mentor and later her follower..?)


    Silverfur padded into the apprentice's den. She was looking for an apprentice. She didn't want an apprentice, but being leader would be nice, and to become leader, you had to be the deputy first, and to become deputy, you had to train an apprentice. She saw Shadowpaw and padded over to her. "Hey. You," she mewed. "Need a mentor?"

    "What's wrong, did a mouse bite you?" Silverfur mewed sarcastically to her new apprentice. "If we want to get any training in today, we should start now." She flicked her tail over Shadowpaw's ears.

    "I'm fine. J-just the weirdest nightmare I've ever had..." she mumbled, she stood up,"Ok. Let's train. Oh, I'm Shadowpaw, by the way."

    "I'm Silverfur," Silverfur mewed. "Okay. Follow me. We'll train hunting in the woods." Silverfur wasn't the type to take suggestions. If the cat was a higher rank than her, she followed orders. If they were a lower rank, she gave orders, and they had better be followed!

    she nodded and followed Silverfur, a question popped into her head,"Uh um... Silverfur? Is... Is it normal to have dreams about... Your future? To... See, yourself and what you do when you're older?" she asked shakily

    "Well, a dream is a dream is a dream. Unless you're a medicine cat, which you're not." Silverfur walked into the woods, continued walking for a little way, and then stopped. "We'll train here," she announced.

    "Hunting," Silverfur mewed. At least this apprentice was well behaved, though with dreams like that, she probably had bees in her brain! "Do you know anything about hunting, or do I need to teach you from the beginning?"

    She nodded and sniffed the air for some prey... Hmm... Rabbit... should be easy enough, she thought. She followed the scent silently, watching her footing and when she spotted the rabbit, she crouched down silently, keeping light steps and pounced on it, making a clean kill. She brought the rabbit back to Silverfur,"Is this good?"

    Shadowpaw nodded and sniffed the air again, searching for a bird. There! She paddedd silently towards the bird and hid, crouched down, she began to crawl closer to the bird and stopped as it looked around. It was about to fly away when she pounced and hooked her claws around it and brought her teeth into its neck, killing it and brought it back to Silverfur,"i did make a mistake. I waited for too long, luckily I was quick enough to get it before it flew away. But, I waited too long." she admitted, ashamed

    "Yes, you're right, it was a clumsy catch," Silverfur mewed crisply. "If a bird looks at you and you're close enough to do so, catch it. It's going to see you otherwise. Let's move on to battle training now, though."

    "Now attack me. I want to see how well you fight at the moment," Silverfur mewed. She sat down and curled her tail around her paws.


    (OOC: I keep mixing my characters up. First I almost typed Fishtooth. Then I almost typed Spottedkit. It's weird.)
