Medicine Cat Meeting 7/18

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw watched Clawpaw walk over to the stone, following him since she felt odd about the two she cats, like there was something not right between time, "Hey, what do you think is wrong with moonspirit and Miraclefur? I don't see why they seem so tense around one another...." Twitchpaw sighed, her stomach growling loudly, the traveling herbs waring off. "Opps...." Twitchpaw's ears dropped before she looked at her mentor then back to Clawpaw, hoping he had an idea as to what was going on with the others.

Rainwing really didn't feel like explaining it to his apprentice, so he just went and laid down between them. "Let's just let them figure it out. For now...Twitch, are you ready to meet Starclan?" He smiled at the she-cat, knowing she would be very excited about this.

(((Twitch, Medicine cats aren't allowed to eat travelling herbs if they expect to speak with StarClan. (Surry to bug u, lol but I am just that way i guess))))

[Deleted]

MiracleFur sighed, and laid there, where she was. She looked at MoonSpirit, and tried to find her words carefully. It was true, she was never in a situation like this, but... she felt as if she had to do something no matter what the problem was. She felt as if she may be able to help, yet MoonSpirit looks as if she didn't want it. Ah, that's too bad, cause MiracleFur was going to give it.

"MoonSpirit," she slowly whispered, thinking quickly, "No matter if StarClan says if this happened, you will always have their connection. They can't cancel that off, no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard StarClan tries.

It is something natural, rather they like it or not. They may become slightly irritated, but that won't stop anything. You won't be cursed, you won't lose their connection, you won't lose anything. You have done your best, and that is all that StarClan cares about. Wither it be leaving your clan to help some little cat that looks exactly like one that died with another cat that could kill you. I mean, I did that, and look, They are STILL mad at me, but I still have their connection," she stared at MoonSpirit with soft eyes, and sighed softly. She meant every word.

Rainwing looked to his apprentice, hoping she'd follow suit as he pressed his nose to the moonstone. He let out a breath, letting the cool feeling of peace wash over him. Speaking to Starclan was was something only a few were blessed with and....there were a few cats he wished to see there as well.

A silver mist covered the grassy clearing where the starry she-cat waited. Dappledfrost had been watching the medicine cats in wait from the starry light of Silverpelt above. It was that time yet again, and, even in StarClan, a medicine cat wouldn't be able to forget the date if she tried. Coming to these meetings made her remember fondly her days of life. Sometimes it was almost easy enough to think herself asleep rather than dead when she walked among warriors long since passed. Only from here she could not wake.

But tonight wasn't about to be a nice trip down memory lane. Something new buzzed in the medicine cat's brain, even pressing down on her shoulders, as she was expected to convey this message at this meeting tonight. The brown-tan spirit dug her fine claws into the soft earth underfoot. The knowledge she had to suppress was almost a physical burden. Her tail almost touched the earth, its tip ticking anxiously. Her once bright blue eyes were dimmed along with her mouth, which held a grimace. Things were not going to be bright, that night.

Her ears pricked a bit as the first form appeared not too far off. She knew who it was before the form completed, as the scent came quickly. A small smile tried to overtake the grimace. Of course she knew her own apprentice.

Dappledfrost forced her stop twitching for the moment, and stood to pad closer to the tabby tom's form across the moonlit clearing, barely noting the fact that the mist parted for her as she continued on. "Rainwing," she purred. "Welcome back."

[Deleted]

Rainwing blinked, as it felt like he was waking up from a long dream and into reality. But this was the dream, even though it felt so familiar. He turned, ears twitching as he heard pawsteps. "Dappledfrost..." He purred warmly, padding up to her and smiled happily. He had missed his old mentor, more than he let on.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost found the strength to smile a little more at hearing his voice. She dipped her head to him, and then took in the full height of her once tiny apprentice. "Greetings. It looks like you've kept right on growing. Either that, or I've gotten smaller." The old gleam sparked up in her eyes. "You used to be so small, when I first began training you. I still can't get over how big you've gotten." Her eyes closed as she let out a light chuckle, but when they opened they were back to the focused, nervous ones she'd had before.

"Rainwing," she started, unsure of how to bring about what she had to say. It wasn't like she wanted to, either. "How is ThunderClan? And sickness, injury? Anything... Unusual?" The medicine cat twitched her whiskers. She didn't understand it, no matter what she knew.

[Deleted]

Rainwing puffed up his chest with pride in the sight of his old mentor. Of course it made him feel great to be acknowledged as something other than the tiny apprentice. His size had always gotten him down. "I know, I can hardly believe it either. When I look at the apprentices now, it kinda surprises me." He said with a cheerful smile, which was dampened just a bit. To him, Dappledfrost left too soon. He was still very young...he would always need her.

He frowned at her statement, raising a brow in confusion. Why did she look so nervous and worried? "Everythings fine. One apprentice, kinda acts like I did when I was his age, broke his tail but besides that, no illnesses. The leadership is a little shaky since you've gone, I've noticed differences in Riddlehawk and Tanglestar, but nothing that would cause great alarm..." He studied her face curiously. "Dappledfrost...what's wrong?"

[Deleted]

SparklePaw suddenly shot out of no where, leaping in RainWing's vision. Oi, she missed him so much! He was awesome in her eyes! He was handsome, too, no one could doubt that.

Her little head popped out from behind DappledFrost, her blue eyes gleaming with excitement. She did know what was happening, or rather, what was going to happen, but she pushed it aside. That could come later, right now, she wanted to hang out with RainWing!

"Hey, RainWing!" she mewed with excitement, eyes glistening with joy, "Sorry I haven't been in yer dreams lately, we've been in a mess! So many things are going on! It's annoying!"

She giggled a bit, her bubbly nature sure amazing. She was like Skypaw in a way, even though she was from WindClan. She never gave up making friends, and she didn't care about dying at all. It was weird, because most apprentice's would be upset about that fact.

"SparklePaw, don't say too much," a voice spoke, rather tenderly at SparklePaw, as if it was the voice of her mother. She might as well be, she acted like it, "He can't know everything."

A black and white she-cat padded out, rather large for her gender and age. Then again, she was a mainecoon. Mainecoons are huge. She was maybe a few centimeters taller than RainWing. She thought it was funny, too.

MoonShadow smiled warmly to RainWing, sitting down beside DappledFrost. Her eyes were soft, like always. She looked as if she was a mother, even though, deep down inside, she wasn't. She wished, though. She took care of SparklePaw, though, as if she was her own kit.

"Hello, RainWing," she mewed softly, "I see you have an apprentice now."

Rainwing's attention was drawn away from his mentor by a familiar voice. His frown broke out into a radiant smile, his tail twitching happily. He always felt a little happier when he could speak with Sparklepaw. Skypaw reminded him so much of her, sometimes he had to stop himself from saying her name instead of his. He purred a greeting. "Hello there Sparklepaw, I have missed you."

He nodded to Moonshadow as well, knowing she wouldn't be too far from the young Starclan apprentice. At their words, his eyes flickered around to every cat, wondering what was going on that was affecting all of them. "Yes...Twitchpaw. A wonderful apprentice, much more cooperative then I was when I was her age." He murmured in response before looking back to Sparklepaw. "You know Sparklepaw, there's this Thunderclan apprentice that reminds me so much of you...I think you'd like him."

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost was a bit startled by the new, smaller arrival from behind where she stood, but relaxed a bit when she saw who it was. "Sparklepaw, don't pop up like that!" she mewed lightly, nudging the young she-cat with a forepaw. The medicine cat glanced then to Moonshadow and flicked an ear in welcome. Perhaps things could wait, for the sake of nerves. They must have had time for a little extra light.

At mention of Rainwing's new apprentice, Dappledfrost beamed and looked proudly at the tom. Memories swept her back to the time when this grown tom was her own beginning apprentice, so sharp tongued and feisty. "Yes, you weren't the easiest apprentice I had. But you were the one StarClan chose to fill my place. And I think they couldn't have picked better." The siamese she-cat purred, dipping her head to the younger tom. "And if I could train you, I don't have any doubt that you'll be a fine mentor to Twitchpaw."

But bigger things were still on her mind.

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw looked at her mentor watching how he touched the stone before doing the same for herself, her body shivering from the coldness in the stone. When she next opened her eyes, she looked around confused and somewhat dizzy, "Rainwing?" She looked around but didn't see him and really didn't understand that she was asleep, "How did I get here?" She looked around before sniffing the air, her tail twitching, there are a lot of smells that I know and others that I don't... I can't pick out Rainwing's..... She signed before looking around some more, "Rainwing? Where are you?!"

[Deleted]

Rainwing purred in embarrassment at his mentor's praise, feeling his fur get hot. He smiled, nuzzling her shoulder gently. "Thank you for putting up with me Dappledfrost....and that means a lot coming from you." He replied, before he heard another familiar voice. Twitchpaw! He had almost forgotten this was his apprentice's first time and he needed to see her through this.

"Ah, Twitchpaw, follow the sound of my voice. I'm over here. There are some cats I would like you to meet." He called, smiling proudly. He could show off his apprentice and she could meet the cats that so influenced his life.

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw's ear twitched before following her mentor's voice. When she saw him. she ran over to him, confused still, "Where are we, I thought we where...." Twitchpaw stopped, looking at the other cats with him. "Hi... who are you?" Twitchpaw didn't realize that they cats in front of her where Starclan. She looked to her mentor, "Rainwing, how did we get in the forest?"
