A huge smile crossed the old medicine cats face. "Leopardfire! You've grown." Turning he flicked his tail for her to follow them. "I've been waiting for many moons, and finally things have settled down. Looking to the side he gazed at a bush, then to Leopardfire. "Over here" he padded forward and then crept slowly. Peering over the bushes with a wicked smile on his face he purred. "There", on the other side of the bushes was a little group of fuzzy kittens, six of them.
The harsh gaze of Galeface searched Sunmist's eyes. He huffed and turned around, flicking his tail he jumped over a small stream. "Come if you want your message Sunmist". Pushing his way through the reeds he padded out into a small clearing, but then turned around abruptly. Beside him was a small mud pool, around the edge was dry mud. "Look" Motioning towards a large print, larger than the clan cats he waited for Sunmist to move forward and take a look.
"Is that any way to talk to your father?" Giving a small purr Redbreasts father moved forward, his pelt and body restored to it's old, complete, state. Waving his tail he smiled and kneeded the ground. Around them the grasses waved as the wind picked up, or was it the wind? The sky seemed to darken slightly, but the stars still shone bright. In the distance a star fell, and slowly burned out in a bloodly red color.
"What do you want?" Talonwing spat as he backed away from his attacker. "What has Starclan sent me!" His claws flexed as a mysterious, low, chuckle echoed. "You still ask to many questions Talon." Standing taller Talonwing gazed at his attacker. "Who are you?" Stepping forward the cat gave an ugly smile. Talonwing sucked in a short breath, "Stonewood..." [/size] |

Leopardfire purred at his coment. She followed him taking slow steps towards the bush. Before she looked through the leaves she took a deep breath, kits! SHe quickly looked through and could see the six tiny kits there. "But Lightchaser! Who's kits are these?" She asked, six kits was a large litter, if a she-cat needed help she needed to know who and where. Her amber eyes burned with questioning, she wanted to know more, and how it involved her in any way.

Sunmist was overwhelmed, feeling as if she'd been struck with a large gust of wind. She could sense his tenseness, and thought maybe it was her. She cringed at the thought, maybe he'd figured what she was thinking? She never meant to hurt him!
" Galeface I'm sorry..." She started as they made their way toward the mud pool. He beckoned her forward. " What is this?" Genuinely confused she advanced, trying to see what her mentor was showing her.

Redbreast spun then, a smile on his face. "Father!" He exclaimed happily. "It's been so long, I've--"
He froze, taking a step back. The bright-coated tom shook his head, narrowing his eyes. "No," he said slowly. "You're not my father. You gave me life, but you are not my father. You were too scared to be my father, remember?" He paused to take a breath. And that's why you went and got yourself killed, Redbreast finished, a growl rumbling in the back of his throat as he watched the older tom.
He looked up at the sky. Oh, thank you Starclan, he thought. Thanks a lot.
"Tell me whatever message you've got," he said quickly, "so I can get back to my little sister." He said that to hurt him; Redbreast hadn't been born with any sisters and his father had been disapointed, his mother had told him. Starclan knows why, he thought.
"If you'd stayed around and off Riverclan lands," he taunted, "maybe you could've met her."

Lightchaser smiled, "Beautiful aren't they?" Pushing himself forward he dipped his head closer to the little orange/red one, the one barely breathing. "Be careful little kit" he whispered before licking it's forhead. Turning his wise gaze upon Leopardfire he smiled again, stood, then moved back towards her. "They need to be watched closely Leopardfire, just be careful." Flicking his tail he moved past her and brushed some dead grass aside. "They will come" he was gazing at a print at least two times larger than his, a paw print that couldn't belong to any clan cat.
Galeface narrowed his eyes "What does it look like?" Brushing a small dried reed to the side he placed his paw next to the huge paw print. "It's not mine". Turning he padded forward and stopped just as the sound of a battle rose into the air. Turning to look at Sunmist he spoke again "Be prepared for everything, danger strikes at anytime." Then a wind gust burst through the clearing and along with it the scent of fear.
Redbreasts father narrowed his eyes "Right, I'm a coward I forgot." Flicking his tail he turned and brushed past his son, eyes saddened. "I have my reasons for entering Riverclan terratory, now follow". Padding forward he pushed through a few wheat stalks and entered a small clearing, the scent of fear, blood and anger swept through the air, along with a strange unknown scent. Turning and looking over his shoulder and Redbreast he motioned through a set of paw prints in blood.
[/size][/color] ((Tell me anything you think would be useful for Redbreasts father Sasha ^-^)) The large tom moved closer to Talonwing, he was Stonewood, Talonwing's old mentor. Tail tip twitching Talonwing swallowed and looked him in the eye "Stonewood, what do you have for me?" The old tom narrowed his eyes and brushed past him, moving to a few paw prints next to theirs. "The large cats are coming, larger than you or I". Talonwing moved forward and gazed at the prints, "Who are they?". "That I can't tell you, I can just say. Watch your tail they have already taken few". Turning to Stonewood in asonishment Talonwing spoke "Already? Who!" Stonewood just shook his head sadly. [/size] |

She smiled, her gaze softened when she looked at the kits, she shook her head, I'm a medicine cat! Her steps slow she followed Lightchaser over towards the dead grass, her gaze widened when he revealed the large paw print. It was much bigger then any she had seen before. Her fearful gaze swep over to the wise tom. "When will they come?" She asked, already knowing, these were no normal cats. Thoughts of blood and pain rushed through her head, she needed to stock up on herbs.

Sunmist bent her neck forward, sniffing the odd structure.
" It-it looks like a paw print..." The white tom walked forward. " But-but Galeface I dont understand...there are no animals this big in the forest..." The sound of battle jerked her confusion ridden head upwards, her ears jumping to attention.
It was distant, however, and she needed to pay attention to what she was being told. Danger, she thought,
" What danger? Strike, who will be struck?" A strong wave of fear scent entered her body, hers soon adding to the mix. She padded forward so as to stand next to her old mentor, gazing across at the huge print, drinking in every word and every clue.

The collection of scents hit him hard as if he'd been struck by a paw, and Redbreast's eyes narrowed. What's going on? He could see his father motioning toward something, but he concentrated on the scents. Whatever it was, it could wait.
"Bloody paw prints," he said finally, sitting beside the tom. "Vague. Mysterious. Tell me," he began slowly. "Why are there scents of war flooding the clearing? Shall there be a war?" He cocked his head, turning his gaze from his father to the grasses behind him, inhaling scents, wincing.

Lightchaser stared down at the paw print, his eyes tearing up in sadness. "Oh young Leopardfire, but you are too late". Closing his eyes he turned towards her and then opened his eyes. "Many, dead". Swallowing the starclan cat turned away and padded bakc to where the kittens were laying. He dipped his head and stared at the ground.
Galeface watched his old apprentice "You ask too many questions". Pulling his tail closer to him he snorted "Your all to late, many have died because nothing has happened." Turning he sighed, "Follow me Sunmist". Overhead a Thunderstorm broke out and shadows criss crossed the land. Galeface stopped and shook his head "the Thunder has brought shadow today." Moving forward he stopped again and reached into the bushes, pulling out a small black kit with a streak like a fallen star down its side.
He snorted and looked to his son, "Will there be a war? There is a war." Turning his attention back to the land infront of them, covered in blood he closed his eyes. "They are here, they are strong, and they will not stop at anything". His stern gaze landed on Redbreast again "But with this six will come when Thunder strikes and Shadow moves." Looking to the ground he scratched at the inside of a large paw print, alightly aggitated.
Talonwing swallowed nervously and looked around, "Well what clan at least?" Stonewood blinked open his eyes, 'What clan? You mean which one next?'. Talonwing shivered Next? Wait Windclan wasn't.... His eyes grew wide but Stonewood interupted him. 'Thunderclan could be next'. "No!" Flexing his claws Talonwing shook his head, "Not Thunderclan". 'And why not? At least it isn't Shadowclan, what are you becoming soft with Thunderclan?' "Well no, No! Don't assume" 'Talonwing I can see you most of the time, I know what will and is going on'. Talonwing narrowed his eyes and looked away.

"Where will they come first?" She needed to warn her clan, that something, something big was coming. "Please, give me more information." She begged and walked over to him, placing her tail on his shoulder. She had no idea what it would be like, being a Starclan cat, knowing the death and destruction before it happened. "Lightchaser?" Her voice was high but soft, almost a whisper. [/size][/center] |

She looked to Galeface and bowed her head respectfully. I always asked too many questions, Sunmist thought bitterly. As the white tom continued, her heart dropped and her whiskers drooped. Too late...already dead? She shook her hooded head sadly, then looked up. " It's never too late." She whispered. Sunmist ducked as thunders shadow darkened her fur as she followed her old mentor toward the bushes. A small black kit with odd markings on it emerged. She sniffed it cautiously. Was that...
" Who's this?"

Redbreast's ears lowered. "Windclan," he said slowly. "Are...they...the reason Windclan's gone missing?" The medicine cat didn't look back at his father, gazing out at the bloodied land stretching far before them.
For a few minutes, Redbreast asked no more questions. 'Six will come when Thunder strikes and Shadow moves.' Thunder and Shadow. Of course! But what does he mean by that, Redbreast quizzed. When Thunderclan strikes and Shadowclan moves. What could he possibly...
"We'll all be involved in this war soon," he whispered; his voice was barely audible. "Not just for Windclan, but for all of us."
Six will come when Thunder strikes and Shadow moves. Starclan help us.

Lightchaser dipped his head towards the kittens and sighed. "The shadow has come Leopardfire, noting will stop it." Turning his gaze to Leopardfire he smiled kindly, dipped his head in respect and turned away. Padding through the bushes everything started to dissapear, and just like that the dream was over.
Galeface watched the kit as it turned and stumbled over to a lifeless looking red/brown kit. It's mews were weak and sad, but Galeface swallowed and looked to Sunmist. "It can be to late, it just depends on if help is near." As he finished Thunder roared across the sky. Looking up he looked to Sunmist again, turning and waving his tail kindly he padded away, leaving the kits there. The dream soon dissapeared and a cool breeze moved through the clearing.
The tom cat nodded and looked around as a almost silent mew crossed the clearing. Wandering, and looking tired, a white and black kit looked around the clearing, eyes confused. Next to her a few more mews erupted but as soon as they started they ended. The kitten locked eyes with Redbreast then looked past as a low hiss and growl grew. Redbreasts father turned, hackles raised and dissapeared towards the noise. But before Redbreast could say anything, or do anything, the dream evaporated.
Baring his teeth in an ugly smile Stonewood lashed his tail and turned away. 'The wind is thin tonight Talonwing, but the storm is strong and it is coming'. Turning Stonewood stalked into the bushes. "Don't go! What will happen to Thunderclan!" But as he went to take another breath it felt as if there was no air, no wind. Startled Talonwing jerked awake, shaking his head to clear it. His tail was fluffed out and hackles raised. But instead of moving he sat, staring at his reflection in the water. [/size][/color] |

Shadow, does that have to do with the kits? She began to think and then tried to voice her toughts but was cut short as everything faded around her. Opening her eyes she could see the crystal clear waters of the moonpool, sighing she stood and streched out. She looked to the sky, the bright orange rays of the sun began to glow from the horizan, she looked to Talonwing, Shadowclan, kits. Shaking her head she looked away, what did the kits have to do wiht Shadowclan, should she warn Talonwing, no if Starclan needed him to know they would tell him, still. [/size][/center] |

Sunmist hissed in frustration as the dream faded away. It must have looked stupid, a grown cat hissing in her sleep. But Galeface just yanked her nerves, how he was always so-so cynical and depressing. She opened her eyes and blinked once or twice, looking around her. Cats were waking, she nodded to Talonwing and Leopardfire, who appeared to be waking as well.
Then she stretched, her tail still fluffed out and her eyes wide.
She yawned silently, taking in the deep breath helped her to calm down.
I hope we can do something...Starclan watch over Redbreast and Blackpaw and the other Windclan cats. The kits were the least of her worries at the moment.
She looked down at the dark water and whispered,
" Oh dear..."
