Giggling to Lillypaw, the unruly apprentice replied, "Yeah, I almost fell, but I'm okay." Windpaw was puffing a little, despite her boundless energy, but still looked around, eager to begin exploring. Her thoughts were interrupted by Swallowsong, and though she was ready to leave the group and go look around the mesa, she turned and grinned widely to her mentor. She usually couldn't hide her feelings well, so she didn't try; that grin was a little rebellious. "It was great, even though I cut my paws a little, it wasn't bad," Windpaw replied.
Heatherpaw sat, resting a little. The graceful silver tabby had no difficulty on the journey, but as it was for everyone else, it was a little tiring. She turned to greet Ripplestream warmly. "Alright, and for you?" Watching the medicine cat treat wounds, she decided to help. Ripplestream looked sort of tense. "Anything I can help with?" She asked quietly. She still had some of Stonestream's rarer herbs, since she had carried them on the journey, and patted the bundle over to the ShoreClan medicine cat.
((I won't always post with everyone, as I'm sure the people with numerous characters like me know, it gets to be a hassle when they're all doing the same thing ;D))

Scarletstar hauled herself up the rocks near the front of the large group of cats. Looking ahead, she saw they were almost there. Concentrating back on where she was leaping, she launched herself onto the next boulder.
Wildstorm climbed slowly up the steep slope. Her breath came in gasps. She wasn't the sprightly young warrior she used to be. Leaping onto the next boulder, she slippd and cut her paw on a sharp stone. She stopped only to lick it off before continuing on her way.
Yangpaw and Yinpaw climbed up the slope with the other medicine cats. The two apprentices were dog tired form the climb, but they pushed on without a fuss. "We're almost there." Yangpaw gasped to his sister as they clawed their way past a boulder.
Blitzfire followed Skysong up the slope, not talking to conserve his energy. Looking up, he noticed they were almost there. "Already having climbed up the slope doesn't seem to make it any easier the seccond time." He rasped, leaping onto another boulder.

Nightfrost smiled to himself and turned back to the cliff side to see if there was anyone who was stuck. He was glad that he was able to something to help, especially to the cats of other Clans. He was hoping to prevent bad feelings with the other Clan cats. After all, they were going to be stuck in close quarters for a couple of weeks.
Swifftail was walking next to his mate, Songheart. He was close to gasping for breath, but so far he had managed to keep up with everyone else. He had jumped onto a slippery rock and fell into a thorn bush when they had started the climb up Korkea Maa, earning himself a scratch. It wasn't bleeding anymore, but it stung contansly. Songheart, on the other hand, was constantly grumbling and agitated. "Almost there." He reasured her as he saw the cats in the first few groups jump onto the flat surface of the plateu.
"It doesn't, does it?" Skysong replied with a little laugh as she looked down at Blitzfire from the top of the plateu. "Try that rock," she suggested, guesteringto the rock the she had jumped up on with he tail. She was having trouble breathing, but she wastalking anyway now that she had finished climbing.
Feathermoon finaly made the last jump of the climb. She put down her packet of herbs on top of a rock and went to go find her apprentice. "Yinpaw?" she called, unable to make her voice very loud. She looked around and spotted a group of a couple of other medicine cats. Yinpaw was not there. She looked down the rock face and notice Yangpaw, Yinpaw's brother. Suddenly Yinpaw jumped up onto a rock that had been concieling her before. Feathermoon was relieved to see that she still had her herbs with her. As she waited for her apprentice to catch up she glanced at the cats around her. She was glad to see that most of them were not severly hurt, a few of them had small scratches but most of them had already stoped bleeding.

Stormpaw hauled herself over a rock, wincing as her claws snagged on a crevice. Her limbs ached, and her pelt was uncomfortably wet from rain. Why couldn't StarClan have put Korkea Maa a little closer? She turned to Oakpaw, who was walking beside her. "Are you feeling okay? I'm just about dead on my paws." Her blue eyes sparkled with mirth.
Shadowpaw walked beside his mentor, his head held high. A journey like this will surely be part of Clan legends for many seasons, he thought proudly, and I'm part of it! A spatter of rain hit him square in the face and he spat bad-temperedly. He looked up at the sky again. A ominous feeling began building in his heart as he saw how heavy the clouds were. It looked like a huge black cat had clamped paws over the world.

Cloudmist had been traveling with Songheart and Swifttail's group and she quickly hauled herself up the precarious boulders. "Finally," she muttered, glancing around the place, which already seemed full of cats from various Clans. She walked away from the edge of the boulders and lay down, exhausted from the journey. The tortoiseshell wondered how her kits were doing.
With a sigh, she picked herself up again and trotted over to where most of the apprentices seemed to be hanging out. Stopping a little ways away from the group, which included Oakpaw and Featherpaw, the StormClan she-cat smiled and walked back to where she was before and lay down again, resting.
Ripplestream smiled warmly at Heatherpaw. "I'm okay, but we should collect more of the common herbs for Stonestream since he lost them when he tripped and his packet of herbs fell into the river," her amber green eyes sparkled with the slightest hint of amusement but it soon turned serious. With a silver-blue paw, the medicine cat pushed Heatherpaw's herbs back towards her. "It's okay, Mousepaw had pretty much the same ones as you do there," she purred quietly as she saw Feathermoon and Yinpaw.
Swallowsong nodded to her apprentice. "Do you want some cobwebs for that or will you be okay?" she asked, glancing over at Ripplestream, who seemed to be in a conversation with Heatherpaw, the EmberClan medicine cat apprentice.

"Ugh. I never remembered it being so tough of a journey." Wolffeather said as he hauled himself over a boulder. His paws ached, and his limbs stung from the walk, but he carried on all the same. He turned and waited for his mate Robinfeather. The rain started to fall, and he fluffed out his fur to help keep him dry. Although it won't help later! wolffeather thought to himself.

Blitzfire focused on the rock indicated by Skysong, tensing, he leaped. He fell slightly short, his paws scabbling on the bare rock. "Mouse dung!" He gasped, then his claws found a crack in the rock and he hauled himself to the top of the boulder. Joining Skysong at the plateau, he sat down, tired.
Yinpaw bounded up to join Feathermoon, carrying her herbs. Yangpaw followed her. He also had a bundle in his jaws as he helped his sister. As they reached the medicine cat, Yinpaw gave a short purr and set the herbs down to take a breather.

Crystalpool walked beside Shadowpaw, her ears flicking. The medicine cat stared at the clouds. "Shadowpaw, do you think StarClan is trying to tell us something?" she mewed to her apprentice quietly, not taking her gaze off from the clouds, a bit fearfully.
ooc- Dewpaw is just scrambling up like every other cat and being weird.

Shadowpaw pricked his ears, a little worried by his mentor's question. He scuffled his claws on the rock, not sure how to answer. "I don't think that they intend us to leave permanently..." he meowed, unsure. "I mean, they warned us about the flood, didn't they? They're still watching over us." I hope... he added mentally. Lightning crashed, and he jumped. He didn't want to tell his mentor his deepest feelings, the ones where he worried that they would all die anyway.
ooc- i think Shadowpaw is depressed

Feathermoon smile apreciativle as she pawed the herbs that Yinpaw and Yangpaw set down. Everything was accounted for. At least something good happened today. "Good job," she purred to the two apprentices. She was really glad that the apprentices did not find that herbs stuffed into their jaws did not prevent them from breathing to much. If they were like her, then every bit of air counted.
Skysong tensed as Blitzfire nearly fell off the rock. She was about to spring forward to try and help him when he found a hold and managed to stuggle up. "That was close," she muttered as Blizfire sat down next to her. She brushed her tail along his side before she looked around to all of the cats surrounding them. Most of them were sitting or laying down, exausted from the hike up Korkea Maa, but she noticed that a few were trying to help up the really old or really young cats who were to worn out to make the last few jumps.

Pinestorm nodded reluctantly. 'Fine," he mewed in resignation, and padded colser so that he could stick out his injured forepaw. "There are so many cats here," he commented in wonder. "I never imagined that there would be so many cats living in the forest!" He winced slightly as his paw twinged again. "Can you hurry up?" he mewed, firmly but kindly. "I kinda want to walk, here."

Snakebite looked up to Seamist and nodded. The gray warrior went to join soem cats helpinf other. He waited for any cat that might need help. Keeping a eye out for Seaspirit.
Shadowjumper nodded and felt a little stupid for over reactting. She nodded and trotted over to Swallowsong and saw that she licked another tom. Shadowjumper flicked her tail to the tabby warrior.
OOC: Lillypaw is just sitting by Owlclaw now.

Ripplestream nodded and quickly wrapped up Pinestorm's paw in a little bit of cobweb. She didn't think his paw need marigold so she saved that precious herb for more seriously injured cats. "There you go, but don't be too rough on that," she advised the chocolate brown warrior.

Crystalpool nodded calmly and waved he tail to protect her precious herbs. She was worried, Shadowpaw waqas right, she had got a warning and things like that, but she felt something omimous. "Shadowpaw, are you okay?" Crystalpool asked. He looks depressed... Crystalpool thought. "if you're not because I've barely started training you, I'm sorry!" ooc: is this powerplaying too much? Dewpaw found a spot to sit at the top of a small rock at the edge of Korkea Maa. The apprentice found herself longing a mentor badly, she espicially wanted that bad tempered Cinnamonstreak. Dewpaw felt small and not hyped up as usual. The young apprentice felt lonely without any friend. Not noticing she was close to slipping off Korkea Maa, Dewpaw flicked her tail and tried to settle when whomp! Dewpaaw fell off her perch and slammed down almost on top of a cat just getting up, many fox lengths below. Her leg hurt. "Oh mousedung." she muttered,staring angrily at her injured leg and her scratches. The apprentice hauled herself back up, thinking please don't let Heatherpaw or Stonestream see me like this,or any, any, EmberClan cat. Dewpaw pleaded silently, her actions wer ealready thought mousebrained in her own head. The apprentice limped over to try to hide somewhere, she chose a spot behind a single bush. Her leg began to tingle and Dewpaw yelped with pain. "I am so dumb..." Dewpaw muttered again, her eyes were bright with tears and she licked her leg and ignored her stining scratches. Foxdung, she cursed in her head, her neck fur standing up and burning witth embarrasment. Dewpaw tried to keep herself concealed in vain, being shouldered and pushed by those hot-headed, self-minded, bossy-as-a-badger-with-a-thorn-stuck-in-it's-paw type of warriors. Dewpaw groaned and btu her hurt leg closer to her. "Stupid rock." she whispered angrily to herself, ducking behind a bush as she spotted Ripplestream, a medicine cat of another clan, and Skysong, not far away. Dewpaw felt numb and her fall, like, 1 million fox lengths down, okay, just about 3, had probably CRIPPLED HER FOR LIFE!!! Dewpaw's pelt burned with shame and anger as she slapped her tail down on the ground, and it made contact with a pointy thorn, from a cats fur, possibly. "Ouch." she hissed, looking at her bleeding tail. "I smell of blood and surely I'll be noticed by some cat." dewpaw's eyes filled with tears again, this time of anger. My carelessness is going to have me exiled, or punished, or...

Shadowpaw's eyes widened as he listened to his mentor. She thinks I'm depressed because we haven't been training much? With great effort, he managed to laugh. "No, I'm okay. sorry if I've worried you. I... i'm just worried about the storm. I HATE getting wet!" His amber eyes gleamed mischeviously.
Snowveil padded along the rocks, plumy tail waving. This was exciting! She had never been to Korkea Maa before, and couldn't wait to look around. she felt like an apprentice going on her first hunt. Filled with tense energy, she leaped into the air, twisted as she landed and leaped again. a second later, the joy left her eyes. The twist had loosened pebbles, and she landed awkwardly, banging her head against a boulder. A sharp pain, like a bite, began in her ear. She gasped as she saw blood on her fur. The rock must have cut her ear. I am SUCH an idiot! she thought furiously. There was no way she was going to go up to a medicine cat and tell them she had cut her ear because she had slipped while playing like a kit. I'm a warrior now! i'm supposed to know better than this!
