Shardstar padded up to her and meowed, "Let me know if you hear, see, or have a strange dream."

Daisypaw paused for a moment and then nodded. "I will," she meowed. She turned and left the den.

Later that day, around sunset, Daisypaw returned to Shardstar with her ears back and her head low. "My mentor...she...she died a few moments ago," she murmmured softly.

Shardstar's ears drooped as he muttered, "Have you already buried her?"

Daisypaw shuffled her paws slightly. "No. No other cat knows yet," she meowed. "I'll have to meet with the other medicine cats every quarter moon to learn from them. That's what she told me before she died."

Shardstar nodded and said, "Bring her body out so the other cats may honor her."

Daisypaw nodded. She went back and dragged the body of the frail black medicine cat into the clearing and bowed her head.
Brasspelt looked at Daisypaw and blinked a few times. "Daisypaw, I'm sorry," he meowed softly as he walked over to the little tabby.

[Make up name for medicine cat: Puddlefur]
Shardstar buried his nose in Puddlefur's pelt and muttered, "Thank you for honoring ForestClan with your life."

Daisypaw sighed and also put her nose to her mentor's fur.
Splitpaw watched from a distance and blinked. She watched as Brownstripe went to give Puddlefur her final farewell.

Shardstar yowled through the camp, "Let us now honor the life of Puddlefur, who has seen many of us through our births and deaths; illnesses and shatterings, and has been faithful to StarClan her whole life."

Daisypaw was suddenly overcome with a wae of lonliness. Puddlefur had been the only cat who could really understand her. Expet maybe Shardstar, but they didn't talk much other than about medicine cat stuff. 'I'm to young to be a proper medicine cat,' she thought.

Shardstar murmured in the dead cat's direction, "Go in peace to StarClan."
