Hollyleaf Becoming Medicine Cat

[{sweetly bro.ken} Hollyleaf]

Hollyleaf had never entered Mothermouth before, and now she was a little bit nervous. She eventually found her way through the tunnel to the cavern of the Moonstone, and fell asleep next to the glittering rock.

A cat of StarClan padded silently down to where the medicine cat-to-be slept. He mewed into Hollyleaf's ear a description of the dreams, so that she would simply watch it happen without realizing that he was there. "The cats of StarClan come to you, and tell you that you are now to be a medicine cat. They give you a little bit of the advice you will need, and now the dream changes. You are fishing in the river. The fish are coming thick and fast. Looking upstream, you realize that they are fleeing a red liquid mixing in with the current, a mixture of blood and something else, something never seen in the forest before. Whatever it is, it smells poisonous. You leap out of the way without getting any of it on your paws, but you see that the poison comes from two sources. The blood flows out of your own territory, where many cats are dead. The unfamiliar poison has its source in LightningClan, and there is not a living LightningClan cat in sight. Those who are visible are deformed by the terrible effects of the deadly liquid." If the StarClan cat could change the future which happened in the vision Hollyleaf had been given, he would. The problem was, the seeds of the matter had already been planted. RiverClan's ordeal was going to scare them, but no cat could live without disasters. "Greenleaf's bounty wouldn't be nearly so sweet without leaf-bare's hunger," he advised her, and returned to his place among the other stars.

Hollyleaf woke up, disturbed by the troubling vision. She pondered it as she meandered back up the tunnel. She was still contemplating the dream as she began to cross into WindClan territory.
