Russetleaf - Tumbleclan - Medicine cat gathering -

She awoke, eyes shining with fear. For some reason, Mudkit had been unable to tell Russetleaf who the honeyed voice cat was. Luckily, Russetleaf had guessed who the withering herb was. Sagestar! Fur prickling in fear, she breezed out of the cave, tail streaming out from behind her. She needed to warn the leader about the honeyed voice cat, it could be Bleakpelt, Swanfoot, Brightwhisker or Blacknose, his own former apprentice. At the most it could possibly be Loonheart. She was one of the newest, and little was known about her. If needed, the medicine cat was willing to stretch her ideas as far as Firefang. Paws flying over the tussocky grass, she was met with an awful sight.

Skunkbrush was laying on the grass, throat split open. His eyes stared at the stars above with such a deadness in them that Russetleaf was frozen in her tracks. ''Skunkbrush!'' she gasped, tail lashing to and fro. Drawing her eyes away from the medicine cat, she stared at the two warriors. ''What happened?'' she inquired, Russetleaf refused to believe that any warrior would dare murder a medicine cat, let alone one from their own clan. ''Who did this?'' Russetleaf whimpered.

{Cats attending: Skunkbrush}

Burntsoul took a step forwards, growling lowly, but Malloweyes held the eager warrior back with a paw. "I don't know," the elder mewed, too serenely for the sight that lay before them all, "Burntsoul and I were just on a walk when we found the body of our dear departed clanmate." She cast a faux morose look down at Skunkbrush, which Burntsoul quickly adopted for herself. "As far as I know it could be anycat. Even you." Malloweyes locked gaze with the Tumbleclan medicine cat as she accused her, not even bothering to hide the smirk on her muzzle nor the blood splattered on Burntsoul's paws. "In fact I'll be sure to inform Sorrelstar that her best friend had been tragically murdered by the Tumbleclan medicine cat. Purrhaps an argument gone too far? Skunkbrush did like his advice. Oh!" She gave a small gasp as if realizing something, her smile growing wider. "You wouldn't have any qualms with that arrangement now would you?" Burntsoul began to close in, sheathing and unsheathing her claws for effect.

Russetleaf - Tumbleclan - Medicine cat gathering - Malloweyes and Burntsoul -

Still petrified, Russetleaf shook her head. ''What monster would do this?'' the medicine cat mumbled, turning to face Malloweyes and Burntsoul looking morose. Poor Russetleaf, little did she know those were merely masks painted on. Flicking her tail, her ears pricked at something that truly shook her to her very core. ''Me!?'' she exclaimed. ''Kill him?"' shaking her head, Russetleaf frowned slightly. ''I'd never do such a thing...''

The claws that glinted in the moonlight and the wily fox-like smile on Malloweye's muzzle were two of the most terrifying things that she was met with. Regretting her decision to not bring along another warrior, Russetleaf backed away slowly. She didn't want to blacken Tumbleclan's reputation any further for her own safety. But she didn't want to die either.


''Oh....no..no'''

Cats Attending;;
Ramhorn + Brindlepaw

Ramhorn padded over to the medicine cat apprentices, telling Brindlepaw that she needed to come with him. Brindlepaw frowned and mewed a goodbye to Shadepaw and Applepaw before following the long-haired medicine cat. The two Echoclan cats settled down next to each other, lapping at the water before curling up and falling asleep.


~~~


Ramhorn's green eyes flashed open. He blinked a few times before raising his head, looking around curiously. He was in Echoclan territory, he knew that. The white tom hauled himself to his paws, shaking a few bits of rock from his pelt. "Ramhorn!" The medicine cat stiffened when he heard his name.

A familiar dappled tom bounded out of the undergrowth, his mint green eyes glimmering. "Dapplewing!" Ramhorn purred, hurrying to greet his former mentor. "I've missed you so much! Am I training Brindlepaw right?!"

Dapplewing purred. "Yes, you are training Brindlepaw brilliantly but this isn't what I've come here to talk to you about." He mewed. The undergrowth rustled again and a tiny pale grey mottled kit came bundling towards them.

Ramhorn's eyes widened in shock as he recognized the stillborn son from Squirrelstar's second litter. "Mottledkit." Ramhorn mewed, leaning down to touch noses with him.

Mottledkit squeaked happily, his tiny tail wagging like a dog's. "Hi Ramhorn! Dapplewing has something important for you to tell my mommy." Dapplewing looked down at Mottledkit, slightly amused but annoyed at the same time, before looking at Ramhorn again.

"'Beware of the cat with the bloody claws. His blood runs deep but it must not run any longer." Dapplewing mewed. Ramhorn stared at his mentor, trying to decipher what Dapplewing had told him.

"Oh! That sounds scary!" Mottledkit squealed, ruining the moment. Dapplewing huffed and looked down at the kit.

"Hurry and tell Squirrelstar. Don't stick around to socialize with the other medicine cats." Dapplewing mewed before nudging Mottledkit back into the undergrowth, looking over his shoulder.

"Tell Mossvine that she's doing a good job with Hurricanepaw and that his father is definitely proud of him." Dapplewing turned and followed Mottledkit.


~~~


Ramhorn scrambled to his paws as soon as he woke up, letting out a relieved sigh when he saw Brindlepaw was waking up as well. "We have to go!" He mewed to her, nudging her to her paws before hurrying away from the Moonpool and back to Echoclan's territory.

mallowpool opened his eyes, and his pelt bristled in fear. this was not the moonpool, this was a clearing he was unfamiliar with. "hello? is anyone there?" he asked cautiously, his tail twitching back and forth. a silvery, semi-transparent cat appeared before him, and he shrank back a little. "don't be afraid." he recognized the cat, "you're the cat who led me to blueclan!" the she-cat purred in amusement and nodded. "yes. we knew you would be the perfect fit to stand beside your leader." her knowing eyes seemed to cut him in two, and he blinked. she knew, there was no question in his mind. he opened his mouth to ask the molly what he should do, but she shook her head. "you know how we feel. we-" her head shot up, her eyes focused on something he couldn't see. "what's happening?" he asked cautiously. the cat turned her head back to him, and her eyes were as bright as the sun. "beware of those you call friends." mallowpool bristled in fear, and as soon as he was going to reply, he woke up. he was slightly shaking, and gave his chest a few licks. he couldn't stop going over this warning from starclan.

Smoothpaw

Morningpaw
Speckledpaw

The brown apprentice opened her jaws to respond, but noticed how the medicine cats began to touch their noses to the waters. A bit confused, she then realized that that was how they spoke with Starclan. Smoothpaw lapped at the cool waves, falling into a deep slumber.

Asphodelkit? Eelface..? Woodpelt. The three cats were sitting in front of Smoothpaw as she opened her eyes. "Starclan." Smoothpaw breathed. It was beautiful. Woodpelt nodded. "I'm sorry we couldn't save any of you." Smoothpaw murmured. Eelface snorted. "Youn'un, Starclan wanted us here and you couldn't do 'nything about it." The elder frowned. "It's quite nice here, I don't have Barkflower haggling over m' shoulder every other min'te.' Smoothpaw chuckled.

Asphodelkit bounded forwards, her eyes brighter than Smoothpaw had seen them in life. The kit began to paw at Smoothpaw's feet, as if they were mossballs. It tickled. Smoothpaw lifted a paw, and the kit batted after it. The medicine apprentice laughed. "Smoothpaw." Woodpelt said suddenly, causing the apprentice to look up. "It is a dark.. time for the forest." She mewed slowly. Asphodelkit blinked, stopping in her play, and sat down, staring directly at Smoothpaw. "Even a single petal can nurture the growth of a withering flower." Wise words for such a young kit....

And then Smoothpaw woke up. Half of the medicine cats were already gone, and the apprentice felt the need to return to camp immediately. She mewed a quick goodbye to the remaining cats, slipping off into the forest to return to her clan. What do Asphodelkit's words mean...? Is it a prophecy..?

☙Ｓｏｕｌｃｌａｎ❧

Aspenleaf
Aspenleaf watched and waited as, one by one, all the medicine cat's touched noses to the moonpool then moved off to dream. She was eager to speak with the cats of the stars again, for it had been quite some time since. She wasn't expecting any news, just a simple hello and chat. Maybe share a pot of Catmint tea. She purred at the idea, making Hearthflame raise a brow at his mentor, to which she responded with a smile. Once it was their turn, Hearthflame touched his nose to the pool first, whispered a few words before moving away, to lie down and sleep. Aspenleaf then followed suit, touching her nose to the cool waters and whispering and thank you for their meeting before moving off to dream.

As the stars encircled her, the gray molly had a large smile on her face. She had made more friends with Starclan over her years of living and could not wait to see them all once more. And when their silvery outlines became clear, she mewed out an eager hello to all, barely containing her childish excitement. "It is great to see you all once again. I take it you are all doing well?" She asked with a soft purr. But she received no response. She waited a respectful moment, allowing the cats around her to fully process her words. But still she received nothing. "Starclan?" She questioned, looking at each cat individually. It was then she noticed the looks on their faces, all grave, some frightened, worried, or sympathetic. What was going on? She opened her mouth to speak again only to stop when a single cat began to approach her. She recognized him as Jaystar's father, a tom known as Crimsonleaf and someone Aspenleaf had gotten to know well. He was normally such a kind, out going tom... but tonight... he didn't look so happy.

"Is something wrong Crimsonleaf?" She dared to ask, watching as his gaze turned elsewhere, making something gnaw at her heart. "Aspenleaf.... He began, looking as if the news he was about to speak was unbearable to even say. But finally, after a look around, he sighed and looked at the she cat strongly. The danger you fear, may be close at hand, The evils that come are from within." He spoke, gesturing to the air for her to look up. She did, spotting two different birds fluttering together, chirping their beautiful music. "The jay's last call," With those words, the bird that flew higher was cut down, a claw ripping off its wings and sending it tumbling to the ground. "the thrush's last cry," And with that the second bird disappeared behind a wall of sharp, glittering white fangs. The fangs curled up in a malicious smile, then two pairs of piercing yellow eyes came into view, one of which belonged to the bloody claws resting on the fallen, wingless bird. "A tyranny, a dictator, from the remains will rise." Aspenleaf shivered, trying to step back from the two wicked cats that stood between her and Crimsonleaf, but they began to circle her, their pelts nothing but thick shadows, cackling at her as she cowered to the ground. Through the whirl wind of shadows, all the cats of Starclan rose together in a ring of voices. "Your enemies grow strong, your friends, can you trust? Soulclan's fate is sealed...

Run if you must!


☙ ❧

Aspenleaf shot up out of her sleep, breathing heavily as she gazed sharply around the cave to which the moonpool resided. No shadows, no voices, just here and the soft snores of the gathered medicine cats. The word rung in her ears, stinging every fiber of her being as trying to pierce through her skin. She was scared. Deathly afraid. She glanced around again only to find her apprentice looking at her with concern. His mouth was moving but she failed to hear anything. His yellow eyes furrowed in worry, his black shadowy pelt swayed in the breeze coming through. Your friends can you trust? The words came forward before she was finally able to hear Hearthflame's worried voice. "-ou ok Aspenleaf?" He asked, ears back in worry and fear, matching the waves being sent out by his mentor. "Fine.... yes, I'm fine... Come, let's go back home..." She muttered, stepping past him without another look. Surely Hearthflame wouldn't be doing anything... evil right? And yet she couldn't get the shadowy figures who mercilessly took down the birds out of her mind. But what did it all mean?

Wildpoppy sighed as she scraped at the frozen earth. Once she got a good enough hole, she nudged the mouse she caught inside, covering it quickly before moving on to see what else she could find. The tortoiseshell paused at the border, looking around before stepping across it, her bobbed tail wiggling excitedly.

I won't get in trouble... Nobody lives in this area...

SwiftClan

SandLeap had lost MorningBlaze as soon as possible. The older Tom was a grouch, even if he was a good hunter. SandLeap's ears flicked as he listened for the rustling in the snow-tipped grass that would indicate prey moving about. He paused, growing as a scent reached his nose. A cat, but no cat he knew. Maybe it was a loner. Or maybe it wasn't. He turned and padded quietly towards the source of the scent, and the few sounds he heard coming from that direction.

The Echoclan she-cat was laying on her back, wriggling around in the snow when she heard someone trudging through the snow towards her. Wildpoppy flipped back over onto her stomach, her ears pricked up as she listened for which direction the cat was coming from.

"Who's there?" She called, completely unaware of how silly she looked with snow clumped in her calico fur.
