The Elders' Quest/Chapter 3

==Chapter description==
:Moonkit watches with disappointment and jealousy as her denmates, Shinekit and Goldenkit, are apprenticed without her. Following their ceremony, her parents take her to see the medicine cats as they are somewhat convinced that that is their daughter's destiny. This upsets Moonkit as she reflects on her unusual appearance, but, she follows her parents to see Jayfeather and Alderheart. As they do, Moonkit spots her former denmates leaving camp and a voice reminds her that she still as them as a companion. Moonkit voices some frustration to the inner voice and remembers how she has always had it as a companion and that after her parents called it an imaginary friend, she has not told any other cat.
:As she meets with the medicine cats, Squirrelstar joins them and the meeting begins. Thriftear and Bayshine lead the meeting, voicing their concerns about Moonkit, as the young kit answers questions asked by the medicine cats. Jayfeather and Alderheart quickly come to the conclusion based on Moonkit's responses that she has no connection to StarClan and can train as a warrior apprentice. The voice offers some reassurance as Moonkit notices a strange glance between her parents, wondering if they are hiding something from her.
:Following the meeting she is apprenticed as Moonpaw to Sunbeam, a former ShadowClan cat. The two leave for a tour of the territory, and while out Sunbeam shows Moonpaw how to do the hunter's crouch. Moonpaw tries to listen and watch but is distracted by the voice repeatedly, which starts to frustrate Sunbeam. Moonpaw apologizes after she messes up again, but Sunbeam reassures her and tells her to try hunting near the water's edge. The apprentice attempts to catch a squirrel but is distracted by her own reflection in the lake. Moonpaw abandons the squirrel hunt to inspect her reflection and is shocked to see a small orange tabby over her shoulder who tells her to keep it a secret.
