Welcome. My name is Feather of Flying Bird. Come in, into our cave. You wish to know who we call leader, apprentice, kit, queen? StarClan? Well, sit down I will tell you...
StarClan is a mystery to us. The great ones, in our culture of the Tribes, is the Tribe of Endless Hunting. They are much like your said "StarClan", as they guide and protect us.
As for queen, kit, apprentice, leader... Our Teller of the Pointed Stones is our leader. You would say that they are medicine cat and leader in one, but, mm, they are just Stoneteller, our healer, to us. Warriors? Our "warriors" don't hunt and fight. No, a Prey-Hunter hunts and a Cave-Guard fights. Prey-Hunters are usually slender and nimble. Cave-Guards are bulky, strong cats. Queens? Well, they are known as Cave-Mothers in the Tribe. They are the ones nursing—or expecting—kits. Apprentices, you say? They are To-Bes. In early kit hood, the Stoneteller decides what they will be, a Cave-Guard or a Prey-Hunter. If they are chosen to be a Cave-Guard, then their mentor is a Cave-Guard, and vise versa. Mm, yes, your apprentices are six moons old when they become, eh, apprentices. But ours, due to the rocky slopes and eagles patrolling the skies, they are eight moons old when they become To-Bes. What is the first thing we teach them? It's "n–" Oh, do you want to tell the Clan cat, Eagle? Alright. Yes, you remembered it correctly: "Never forget to look up!". I believe that's all you wished to hear, mm? Right then; Scurry along! And don't forget, that on the way back down the rocks, don't forget to look up!
