Practice Assessment

This is just a practice assessment, not the real one. Wolfstorm told me about this idea, and I think it is a good one. It will give apprentices a practice, so they kinda know what the real one will be like. Leafpaw and Oakpaw, this is your practice assessment. Have fun, and report under this post what prey you caught, or anything else you discovered.

Story Part 6 *Fake Gathering*

*This story part happens during the gathering, when many cats are gone, and Dewstripe and Stormbringer  are watching the kits.*

"Since there is a BIG gathering going on now, and somehow Snowstar forgot to invite us there, we should have our own totally awesome small gathering!" announced Etharkit. "I will be Etharstar, and you will be my warriors of GlenClan!"
"Okay," mewed Winterkit, "I'll be Winterbreeze."
"I'll be Lilyflower." mewed Lilykit.
"I'll join your gathering," mewed Dewstripe, "And I'll be the warrior Dewstripe!"
"I'll be the warrior Eagleslayer!" mewed Eaglekit. "Etharstar, you should say that I earned my name by killing an eagle that had taken a kit, but I killed the eagle, and saved the kit!"
"Great! I'll certainly say that at the gathering." Etharstar mewed."Anyone else want me to say something?"
Dewstripe, who had been to 'Big gatherings' put in some info. "Usually, at gatherings, the leader explains how good the prey is running, about medicines, - " but she didn't get much further.
"No no no!" Etharstar yelped. "That's boring old cat stuff."
"Ahem..." Dewstripe cleared her throat.
"Sorry Dewstripe." Etharstar mewed sadly, then brightened. "Come on, Clan, let's go to the gathering!" The others all followed her. "Here's a good place to hold the gathering." Her tail flicked towards a thick branch that had fallen on the ground inside the camp. She leaped up and turned to face the cats in her Clan. "Today's gathering news: Eaglepaw has recently become Eagleslayer. He earned this name by killing an eagle that had taken a Clan kit. Fortunatlly, the kit was only very shocked and afraid, and not injured."
"Lilypaw and Winterpaw have also recently received their warrior names, Lilyflower and Winterbreeze.
Lilyflower! Winterbreeze! Lilyflower! Winterbreeze!
"The prey is running well too." she announced, incorporating some of what Dewstripe had told her to say. "That's all this Clan's news. Who will announce next?"
Eagleslayer leaped up. "I'll play Eaglestar, leader of FlightClan. This Clan's news: I am the new leader, because Dovestar has died. She was nobly struck down in battle against a group of rouges. She was a great leader, and will be sorely missed. Also, we have two new warriors. Riverpaw and Everpaw are now Riverstone and Everflight."
Riverstone! Everflight! Riverstone! Everflight!
"That's all of FlightClan's news."
"Then this gathering is closed." Etharstar motioned to her Clan to follow her back. Eaglestar now abandoned his role as the leader of FlightClan, and was back to Eagleslayer.
"That was fun!" exclaimed Winterkit.
"Yeah!" purred Lilykit. "I bet real gatherings aren't that fun."
Dewstripe held in a purr. Real gatherings were MUCH more exciting, but the kits had made the small gathering fun, though.
