He looked around wildly, the wind whipping his fur into his eyes, so he could hardly see. "Why am I here?" He called, hoping someone would answer. A shadowy whisper filled his ears. He strained to pick up the words, but he couldn't. "What? Please speak louder!" Was his pleading response. But the same whisper again filled his ear, this time urgent, but no louder. Brackenpaw took a step forward, but there was nothing under his paw. Too late - he put down his weight and he crashed over the waterfall. He hit the bottom, and blackness jumped into the edges of his vision and he awoke, gasping. He shook out his fur nervously, then licked a paw to see if it was wet. But he felt only his dry paw-pad beneath his tongue. He was relieved that it wasn't wet.
