Dovewhisper’s paws felt heavy. How long had she been asleep for? Surely no other cat had ever slept as long as she had. This is a dream… the molly kept on repeating herself. You will wake up soon and everything will be just fine.
The last thing that Dovewhisper remembered was falling asleep, then she woke up here, in Starclan, or at least she thought it was Starclan. The trees were all glittery and shiny, just like how Starclan was described to her by her brother Nightsky.
Both Dovewhisper and Nightsky has wanted to become medicine cats, so they were both trained together by the same mentor. Dovewhisper was falling behind though, and when she fell in love with another dashing cat she knew her calling was elsewhere. She had never seen Starclan, so who is to say this wasn’t the place of eternal stars.
The sound of gurgling water jostled her from her thoughts. It’s been forever since I’ve drank, I really should be thirsty, but why am I not thirsty? She skipped over some large boulders until she stumbled upon a delicate pond. It was the most beautiful pond she had ever seen. The stars glittered in its depths, not in its reflection, but actually inside the waters themselves. Dovewhisper slowly lowered a paw into the liquid to see if it were real.
As soon as she touched it the water exploded into thousands of little scenes before reforming back into one. It was focused on a big gray cat who Dovewhisper noticed was her brother Nightsky. Why is the pond showing me this? She thought wildly as another cat she didn’t recognize approached her brother.
The two fought viciously, the medicine cat doing fairly well despite his pacifist training. Dovewhisper closed her eyes before screaming into the starry paradise: “Why am I here?! Why are you showing me this?!”
She didn’t actually expect an answer, but then a beautiful ginger molly stepped out from behind a tree. Her fur shined with the light of countless stars. Dovewhisper gasped, she didn’t know that any cat was actually here!
“Don’t worry,” the newcomer purred, “you are here for a reason Dovewhisper.”
“How do you know my name?” The warrior bristled. “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. But you will wake up soon, no longer trapped here in Starclan. After the battle, only few cats will have survived, and I need you to be one of them.” The dead cat said with a struggle.
Emotions crashed over Dovewhisper in waves. No…. no… this couldn’t be happening, she needed to fight for her clan! “Let me out!” She screeched eventually, choking back some ugly noise that threatened to come wailing out. “Please…”
“I’m sorry Dovewhisper, but you are meant for so much more than this, so I cannot let you leave.” The Starclan cat looked genuinely sorry, but if she was sorry, why wouldn’t she help?! Instead, the warrior was trapped in Starclan, forced to watch her Hornetclan get slaughtered.
