Cloudnose briefly remembered Ripplepaw walking past him but he wasn't bothered about it. The prophesy weighed on his mind like a boulder. He looked out from the medicine cat den and watched Lightkit and Waterkit play. He sometimes briefly wondered what it would be like to be a kit their age and grow up to be a warrior. Today he let the idea play around in his mind. He suddenly shook his head and scolded himself. You know you would never give this up. This is what you dreamed of your entire life. Starclan chose you to do this. "Starclan chose me for this prophesy that I didn't want," he muttered under his breath. He turned back to the herbs he had dropped and he found the mouse. He wondered briefly why it was there. And why did it look like it was eating the fresh herb? His eyes widened. He tried to shake the thought and began to sort the herbs.
Ashstar nodded his head, his features were beginning to look aged as if he were nearly an elder. He still wasn't all that old. "Thank you, Lynxbound. I just want you to be back soon. We have need of a ceremony," he said, his voice deep, strong yet kind. His eyes turned toward Lightkit and Waterkit playing and then over at Windkit, just inside the nursery.
Waterkit got up. "I heard that the warriors use it in battle," he said, trying to sound older then he was. He looked back and saw Windkit. "Come on, sis!" he called to her.
