Rain847 (Alchemy) said the following:

Alchemy blinked awake in the dim sunlight shining into the den, she looked about, she spent most of her nights alone in the nursery, but she didn't mind. Thus she made her way towards the jaguar who had been nursing new cubs that had been born a week before! Neither had made much trouble, until now.

She crept her way over to the sleeping Jaguar, poking at the Ambriel cub quietly. "Psst!"

----------
Wildfire-Tama (Ambriel) said the following:

Ambriel woke to a paw prodding at her side. ”Mmmph?” the young she-cat murmured, opening her pale green eyes to meet the deep purple gaze of another cub. She withdrew her head in shock, bumping her sister lightly, but luckily it did not wake her. She blinked in confusion at the cub. ”What is it? Who are you?” the young liguar asked groggily.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy smiled brightly, "Hi, I'm Alchemy, I'm another cub in this den, you wanna go outside with me? It's boring in here and too quiet, hmm.. have you been out yet? I can show you around, no one's awake yet."

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel was fully awake at once, the thought of going out into the outside world enticing. ”Yes, of course!” she whispered, ”I have been out, but not much. I would love to look around!” the cub said, ”I’m Ambriel, by the way. Or Amber.”pale green eyes wide, ”Sorry!”

----------
Rain847 said the following:

"Okay, Amber! Lets go!" Alchemy mewed eagerly, bouncing back a bit to give her room to get up and follow. "Be real quiet, okay?"

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel closed her mouth and nodded, slipping out after her new cub. As they left the nursery Ambriel looked around at the morning world and her breath was taken away for a moment as she witnessed the beautiful green foliage around her and how it shined with gold in the light. She was not paying attention and ended up running right into Alchemy’s side by accident. She let out a little quiet mew, her pale green eyes wide, ”Sorry!”

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy shrugged it off, whispering, "It's alright, but it's pretty, isn't it?"

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel smiled when Alchemy said it was okay, looking around again at the scene, ”It is! Oh the morning is such a gorgeous time of day! I looove it!” She bounded forward, climbing onto one of the flat silver stones in the camp, and sank onto the cold stone surface. She blinked dreamily as she looked around at the intricately placed snow that lined each branch around them.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy bounded forward, standing beside Ambriel, looking out into the distance as she meowed, "I love the scent, fresh and clean, reminder of a new day!"

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel purred her agreement, glancing with her into the distance for a moment before looking over at Alchemy with curiosity in her pale green gaze, ”So what do you have to show me?” the little liguar asked brightly, excited to be shown around.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy nodded but asked, "What have you already seen??"
----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel shrugged, ”Most of the camp by now… although I have always wondered what the Healer’s den was like… it is so spooky down there in the dark…” the liguar answered, an anxious excitement in her voice.
----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy smiled, mewing back, "Then lets go see!" She began moving off the rock, "C'mon! I haven't been there, but I wanna see, too!"

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel bounded toward the entrance of the Healer’s chambers. She guessed that the current Healer was probably sleeping… she realized suddenly that she didn’t even know who the Healer was. She looked anxiously up at Alchemy, ”Who is the Healer?” the liguar asked Alchemy.
----------
Rain847 said the following:

"Thalia, Evira and Salvia are her apprentices.." Alchemy stated, keeping a jogging like pace with the cub.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel nodded, trying to recall if she had seen any of those cats around. She stared down into the dark hole that made up the Healer’s den. Stone steps lead into shadows. A draft wafted up around her from the depths. ”Do you think they would mind if we looked…?” she asked.
----------
Rain847 said the following:

"If they do, lets go!"
Alchemy meowed eagerly, starting to go inside."Thalia is a skinny, gray leopard who had cubs a while back, and Evira is a small hybrid, while Salvia is a serval. All pretty short."

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel followed her into the depths, her pawsteps echoing off the hard, cold stone. It send chills up her spine, never had she felt stone so cold. It was smooth and even. Her eyes stretched wide as she tried to take in the dim light and see the way before her. She saw soon that there were multiple directions to go. She paused as she looked at the choices, but each looked the same; a large dark cavern.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

"When in doubt, always go left!" Alchemy chimed, going to her left into a dark tunnel.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel looked at Alchemy and nodded, then slipped to the left as well, her eyes glowing in the dim light. The chamber smelled strongly of different herbs and flowers. Ambriel headed toward a particularly sweet scent, blinking softly. It looked like a flower, but everything was gray in color in the dim light. ”What is this place…?” Ambriel asked in a whisper as her voice echoed off the stone.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

"This must be where they store all the icky stuff." Alchemy wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Big brother told me it smells and tastes bad."

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel sniffed at a herb and scrunched her nose as well, ”Ick yeah, it must be…” Suddenly there was a sound from outside the chamber and Ambriel crouched, shrinking against the wall, ”What was that…?” she whispered to Alchemy in fear.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy pricked her ears, panicking to the young cub. "It must be the medicine cat!" She mewed, "Quick, hide!" She shuffled quickly to hide in a crevice in the wall, it wasn't large, but she squeezed herself in, leaving out Ambriel.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel’s eyes were wide with panic as she followed Alchemy and noticed that there was not enough room. She let out a whimper, racing to the other side of the cave, but there was nowhere to hide except for a pile of herbs she could sort of cower beneath. She crouched, looking at the entrance with wide eyes. A cat silhouette walked by, but went into another cavern. Ambriel sprang from her hiding place as she saw their chance and turned to Alchemy, ”Quick, let’s go!” the jiguar cub cried.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy darted out of the crevice, panic rising in her chest as she raced out of the caverns. She was too frightened to pay attention, and her tail bushed as she began to exit the cave.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel raced after her companion. She thought she heard a voice behind them but she did not look back at they climbed the stairs. ”Quick, quick!” she whispered in a hushed voice. Soon they burst into the sunlight and were racing along the snow-covered camp. ”Quick, we can hide in that rubble!” Ambriel cried, indicating with her nose.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy didn't respond, not really, she just went to the direction the cub told her to go and hid. She was in a full blown panic, and shaking slightly as her heart pounded.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel joined Alchemy as they hid in the rubble, panting. She crouched under a rock and peeked out. No one was chasing them… it looks like they make have gotten away. She let out a sigh of relief, looking at Alchemy, ”Wow… that was close!” she noticed that Alchemy was shaking and blinked at her with wide eyes, touching Alchemy’s flank with her black tufted tail tip, ”Hey, you alright?” she asked.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy stiffened, then relaxed, her shakiness ceasing as she mewed, "Uh.. yeah, yeah I'm alright, you..?" She looked over at the smaller cub, ears pricking.

----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel gradually caught her breath, leaning against the rocks, ”Yeah, I’m good.” the young she-cat said. And then she let out a small laugh, ”Whew! That was close!” she said. Now that they were safe she could happily reflect on the excitement of the day.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

Alchemy purred brightly, her eyes lighting up like torches in the night. "That was so much fun! We should do it again! So much to explore in there, isn't there?"


----------
Wildfire-Tama said the following:

Ambriel laughed, ”Yeah! Maybe we can even ask Thalia of one of her apprentices for a tour.” the young cub suggested, but there was such a fun twist when you did something you weren’t supposed to…

Ambriel shook off and bounded back toward the nursery. Cats were beginning to wake up now. ”Come on, we’d better get back to the nursery before we are missed!” The last thing she wanted was for Sariel to be anxious about her.

----------
Rain847 said the following:

"Maybe! I've never been interested in following the rules, though." Alchemy looked up at the cub, then at the nursery, "Back?" the older cub thought about it, then shrugged, "Alright, lets go!"
Write you cub meeting someone new:bulletgreen:

Edit: I have to wait a bit, I'll submit it later.

Heheheh, Alchemy is teaching her ways to child cubs. But now her assignments are complete and she's gonna be an apprentice soon!
