RiverClan Camp

The whole camp is surrounded by reeds. In the central area, the cats lie and share tongues in the sun. In the tangle of one of the reeds, there is the warrior's den. It is also right next to the nursery. On the roof of the den, cats have woven in sparkling rocks and shells from the river. The light dances on these, making beautiful reflections. The river comes up very close to the nursery. That's why the walls are built very thickly to prevent the nursery from floating away in a flood. The nursery is also close to the river so the kits can practice getting wet and sometimes swimming. This helps them when they become apprentices. Across the central clearing, the elder's den, leader's den, apprentice's den, and the medicine's den dwell. They are all in a tangle of reeds covered by a hard reedy roof.

The sighing of reeds and the murmuring river sounded as the Medicine opened her eyes. Soft light drifted through the den opening, signaling that it was dawn. Tansyfrost raised herself from her nest and stretched, "I wonder what today will bring?" She thought, glancing around her den. Quickly she washed herself, flattening down her messy fur that now looked Windblown because of her sleep. Then she padded to the entrance of her den and looked out. She blinked, "Looks like I'm the first one up!" Tansy then padded into the main clearing, her paws stepping lightly so as to not arouse the sleeping Warriors. The frosty Leaf-fall sun shone brightly on her fur, so she stopped and sat down, enjoying the warmth despite the chilly air. She hoped the others would be up soon.
