Swiftheart looked up at the sky it was a lovely sunny morning but he was very groggy and tried he had dreams of a horrid battle and needed to tell Spicestar right away. He stretched somewhat limping around camp looking for Spicestar. He then suddenly got a vision from starclan a starry warrior approached him saying " The great battle of destiny is coming prepare all, only the strong will survive, the weak will make you weak KILL THE WEAK!" the cat disappeared by bursting into flames. He hoped that was a prophecy that wouldn't come true because if it was he would have to die..." Spicestar! Where are you?" he was terrified running all around camp most cats were on dawn patrol or very grumpily being awoken by his screaming he tripped on a rock and fell to the ground on his lame paw... "Oof!" He sudden;y wondered about that Starclan cat he'd seen many starclan cats before but none of them had ever burst into flames before...what if that was a dark forest cat? He tried to get up but couldn't most of the other warriors or apprentices were probably sleeping he thought to himself that he'd just have to wait till dawn patrol returned...

Herbpaw stepped into the large den. Wow! There are so many herbs! From marigold to lavender to cobwebs! "Hello Swiftheart! I am Herbpaw, your new apprentice! Surely Spicestar told you, right?" Herbpaw was very hyper, so her poofy fur was going up and down and up and down! She started jumping and running around the den. "I'm so sorry!" She screamed. "Do you have any herbs for anxiety? I'm just anxious to start!" Herbpaw screamed, and all of the cats turned at her. She hid by the Oak Tree and climbed it anxiously. She fell off and scurried to the Medicine Cat's den. "Sorry. Bit hyper." She meowed really loud.

Swiftheart looked at the small apprentice smiling "Yes I have some thyme for your anxiety." He grabbed some thyme and gave it to Herbpaw "don't worry I was just as hyper as you on my first day. I'm sure your eager to start your training aren't you?" He got out some poppy seeds and said " These are for making cats go to sleep just one is enough for a cat to be out cold it soothes shock and distress too . Never give it to a nursing queen!" I'm sure you'll be a fine medicine cat one day." he could see it in herbpaw's eyes that she was a medicine cat though and through

Herbpaw finally caught her breath. "Thank you! So, poppy seeds don't go to a nursing queen. I have that down now. Catmint is for greencough, right? I watched you treat some cats with it. And... yarrow is used to make a cat throw up, and it is usually used after eatiing deathberries or poisonous fresh-kill. I remember when all of the mice were poisoned in leaf-bare. I have been watching you treat cats." She purred. She loved this position in the clan. Herbpaw gave out a mrrow of amusement. She had founnd that coltsfoot is good for coughs, not fever. She sorted through all of the herbs. Hmm... This is dried comfrey, these are... deathberries?!? "Swiftheart! I found deathberries in our herb supply!"

Swiftheart looked at Herbpaw "Your right, I thought I'd gotten rid of all of them, I guess not though. My mentor used deathberries in emergencies or if a cat wanted to die but after he died I decided to get rid of all of them." he remembered when he'd had to give a deathberry to his aging mother, he was still an apprentice then and his mother practically shoved it down her throat. He shivered at the thought of having to give another cat a deathberry. "We need to get rid of those before a kit tries to eat one." He noticed that Herbpaw didn't seem to believe him " Believe me I never wanted to use a deathberry on any cat, -exhale- especially not my own mother." he hoped that Herbpaw would understand that.
