Mothpaw woke up. She had a horrible dream of slavering jaws and fire. She smelled badger as well.
But, she was happy because today was a big day for her. Starclan told her in a dream to go to the moonstone and receive her full medicine cat name. She ate a bundle of traveling herbs and set off to the moonstone. She thought of bringing a warrior but it would probably be hard to wake them up at this time. It was a long way to the moonstone.
She padded out of camp and started off there. She couldn't eat before the ceremony but her stomach was growling. She thought about her dream and what it could mean. Before she knew it, she was at the moonstone, and at the right time too! She padded in the dark cave, not stopping until she saw the beautiful glowing blue stone ahead if her. She lied down and touched her nose to it. Suddenly, blackness surrounded her.
She woke up to starry cats around her. She noticed some familiar faces and almost cried in happiness. Her father and her little sister were there, as well as her old mentor, Spottedtail!
"Spottedtail!" She said,"I missed you! How are you? I-" she got cut off by Spottedtail flicking her tail at her. A warning not to speak.
"You are a very gifted medicine cat, Mothpaw. You have exceptional gifts and you have learned to use them. I am so proud of you. You have done so well. Your new name shall be Mothflight, to represent your journey to being a wonderful medicine cat. You have spead your wings and you have learned how to use them. Mothflight!"
"Mothflight! Mothflight! Mothflight! Mothflight!" A joyous cry filled the room with her new name. Suddenly every cat in the hollow cried out in horror, looking at something behind her. She turned around to see what they were looking at and saw nothing. She turned back and everyone was gone. She turned and saw a queen huddled over 3 kits and the kits were crying. The queen turned to look at her and didn't have a face. Suddenly, the queen and her kits disappeared. She turned around and found Spottedtail with her fur bristling. She looked at her and said
In the moon of the coldest leafbare,
Behind the log of a fallen tree,
Because of a broken ancient law
Sat the start of the sacred three
They'll find a way to a brand new lair , In a time of desperate need
The one with the sight shall stray
To find truth in ones ways
A leaf of oaken on his brow
Shall choose to which greater power he'll bow
The one who could not be beat shall suffer an unimaginable defeat
These three kits shall hold the clan in paws
Weather or not they'll lead or let it fall into slathering jaws
If they make it or not we are unable to tell,
But if they fail it'll be a living hell."
Spottedtail's voice didn't sound like her own. It sounded as if all of Starclan were speaking through her.
"Beware, Mothflight, and remember to follow your heart, not the wishes of others."
Mothflight gasped as she woke up to the coldness of the Moonstone. She found her way out of the cave and squinted as she got out into the sunlight. Mothflight's eyes soon adjusted and everything felt fine as she padded back to camp. She wasn't even sure what the prophecy meant but she was very shaken. She padded back to camp and went to her herb storage. She felt somehow like her dreams were connected to the prophecy somehow. She just didn't know how.
