The Elders' Quest/Chapter 6

==Chapter description==
:The morning after the Gathering, Moonpaw feels exhausted as her denmates talk about what had happened the previous night. She reflects that the voice had not stopped talking, causing her to miss nearly everything that had been said at the Gathering. Shinepaw and Goldenpaw try and reassure her to not be so shy and try and talk to more cats at their next one. The voice reaches out to Moonpaw, but she tries to ignore it as she starts her day. A group of young warriors quickly surround her, again wanting to talk about the previous Gathering to see her thoughts about her first one. But, Moonpaw quickly dismisses herself after giving a quick response about seeing all the high ranks of the other Clans. The she-cat feels weird for not being excited about being an apprentice. She reflects that she had been thinking non-stop about the voice and that maybe she should consult the medicine cats about it.
:She decides to head to the medicine den. There she finds Alderheart, which she is grateful for as she believes he is easier to talk to than Jayfeather. Moonpaw tries to talk to him, but is soon made aware that she is distracting the medicine cat. She approaches the topic as though she is curious about his role and what he sees when speaking with StarClan; not wanting to give away the secret of the voice. Alderheart's response indicates that her experience is different to his, so she asks about medicine cat's hearing voices of cats. This startles the ginger tom as he now asks questions that make Moonpaw brush of her curiosity as her imagination. The medicine cat remains secretive about what had unsettled him and soon Moonpaw leaves the den. Afterwards, Sunbeam finds her and reflects that she had never heard her apprentice so interested in something. The pair share a moment, with Sunbeam talking about her life before ThunderClan, and Moonpaw doubting her place as a warrior apprentice. Together, the pair talk to Jayfeather and Alderheart and come to the agreement that Moonpaw is to trial being a medicine cat apprentice.
