OOC: I'm going to PM the medicine cats announcing that they need to go to the meeting. BIC: Groundsiltail sat down by the moonstone. She had arrived early. I hope StarClan will accept Sparklepaw as my apprentice. she thought.

Sunheart arrived next. "Hello, Groundseltail," she meowed casually.
A few minutes later, Hollyleaf padded up, her pelt peeking up hopefully through a horrendous mess of chewed marigold, cobwebs, and various sorts of mushed berries. She caught sight of Sunheart's avid stare, and explained, "One of the feistier kits was injured."

"Oh. That explains the cobwebs. Nice to see both of you." mewed Groundsiltail. "When do you think the others will be here?

"Soon, I think," meowed Hollyleaf, unmindful of the mess she carried around. "After all, I can think of exactly two cats who need to come. Unless one of you has a new apprentice?"

Shadowheart strolled in and sat down next to Sunheart. "I've had a busy day. Out collecting herbs, of course."

"Where are our apprentices?" asked Groundsiltail. "They should be here by now."

"sorry Groundstail, I got distracted by an interesting klump of herbs." Sparkelpaw said as she paded up to he mentor. Her heart was pounding so loud with excitement that she was sure that the other cats could here it. "Wow, it's so beautiful in here," she said in awe.

"There you are. Glad you could make it, Sparklepaw." purred Groundsiltail. "Hollyleaf, Sunheart, Shadowheart this is Sparklepaw."

"Ahh! So this is the new apprentice, is it? Very nice. She is quite lovely!" Shadowheart purred

Sparkelpelt blushed under the older cats praise. "Thanks you." she replied shyly

"Welcome, Sparklepaw," meowed Hollyleaf. "I am sure you are a great asset to your Clan." She then dropped her formal demeanor and added, "Of course, you'll have to learn the herbs before you can actually use them..." The RiverClan medicine cat was barely even aware that she used sign language along with her emphasis.
Sunheart added, just to remind every cat why they were at the Moonstone, "You know, we do need to share tongues with StarClan at some point before the night is over. Is there any reason why we shouldn't do it now?"

"Not that I can see. Let's go!" said Groundsiltail. She stepped into the Moonstone. It was leaf-bare now, and the moonstone was chilly. Brrrr. thought Groundsiltail, but she didn't say that.

Like the others, Sunheart and Hollyleaf touched their noses to the Moonstone and let the chill sink deep into their pelts. Both closed their eyes and let StarClan sweep them away into dreams.

The cats of StarClan had arranged messages for each of the medicine cats. The starry warriors who had been designated to give these messages now leaped down from the stars.
For Groundseltail: One of the cats of StarClan padded up to the sleeping WindClan medicine cat. As was the custom, he described her dream to her, so that she would see it all. "You are feeding a cat thyme. This seems normal, until you realize that you do not recognize this cat. Indeed, she carries a scent nothing like any of those you have ever before experienced. Still, your herbs are healing her. She stands up, and leaves the camp. You remain. Soon, you are asked to go on a hunting patrol. You leave the camp, catch a mouse, and suddenly you are standing next to the Thunderpath. Other cats are all around you, injuring you, and you cannot move. Then the cat you healed before reappears. She smells just like the cats who are attacking you, and you expect her to do the same. Instead, she gives you herbs to heal you. Now you are watching a scene from above. Much of WindClan is lying motionless on the Thunderpath- but even as you watch, Opalstar lifts his head. He fights the cats who were attacking you, and is soon joined by the leaders of the other three Clans, as well as many leaders who have died. They are losing, until the cat you exchanged herbs with reappears, and chooses to fight alongside the Clans. Somehow her presence changes the direction of the battle, and the Clan cats win a decisive victory. Now, in the WindClan camp, the sound of kits is heard. Hope has come once again."
For Sunheart: A different StarClan cat told the ThunderClan medicine cat her dream. "You are standing in the middle of the camp, shivering. It is colder than you would expect. You look around, and notice that the fresh-kill pile is low. Sunnystar pads out of her den and claws a mouse out of the pile. She gazes at it longingly for a while, but tosses it back onto the pile without eating. She shouldn't do that- her ribs are clearly showing- but as pitiful mewling rises from the nursery, you understand why she did. She is young, strong, and has nine lives, but there are new kits with only one life apiece, and the prey is short. You suddenly feel as if you are being attacked from behind. You whirl around- you are. Suddenly, you are in the middle of a great battle, fighting for your life. The other cats are visible for only a short time before each is swallowed up by the battle. Countless cats flash before your eyes in this way- your leader, your sister, your friend in RiverClan whom you met at the last Gathering, your least favorite member of WindClan, and many, many others. All are fighting the same battle as you are. Then, as abruptly as you arrived at the battle, it is gone. You are back in the middle of the clearing. It is still cold, but a warm breeze now blows over you. Sunnystar pads out of her den and claws a mouse out of the pile. She gazes at it ecstatically for a while, then eats it. Her ribs are harder to make out now, and a contented purring rises from the nursery. Things are going back to normal."
For Hollyleaf: A third member of StarClan spoke to the RiverClan medicine cat. "You are lying comfortably next to the river. Everything is lovely. You are enjoying a choice fish. The one thing that bothers you is an insect buzzing right in your ear. You try and flick it away, but that doesn't work. You try again. Across the river, you see cats being eaten by insects much like the one annoying you. Now you try again. Not only do you succeed in flicking away your own annoyance, but your tail sweeps across the river and drives off the insects eating the other cats."
For Shadowheart: A darker StarClan cat delivered the DarknessClan cat her dream. "You are somewhere in a deep canyon. Close by, there is a kit wailing. It is trapped. You try your best to reach it, and try again, but you fail every time. You are still trying when an osprey swoops down and snatches up the kit. The osprey takes it and places it gently on a safe place. Everything else is covered in shadow, but you can tell that the osprey has saved the kit."
For Sparklepaw: A white StarClan she-cat speckled with gray looked at Sparklepaw with her deep brown eyes. She spoke in a soft voice, meowing the description of the WindClan medicine cat's dream. "Scenes flash before your eyes. Herbs- horsetail, catnip, thyme. The Thunderpath, covered in blood. Some of your Clanmates refusing plump rabbits. Opalstar discussing something with senior warriors. Kits playing." The cat speaking to Sparklepaw paused for a heartbeat, then whispered, "You are now back in the cavern of the Moonstone. The other medicine cats are not present." She paused, and waited for what Sparklepaw would do in response.

"Where are they?" she quietly mewed to the Starclan warrior. Although she was confused to where the medicine cats where, she was more worried about the blood on the Thunderpath in her dream. She knew that she had to tell someone.

The cat of StarClan spoke to Sparklepaw directly now. "The other medicine cats are walking in other dreams. You are here because I have a message to give to you. My name is Fernstream. I was a warrior in WindClan before you were born. Now I am one of the warrior ancestors. I am to be your second mentor. If you are wondering why Groundseltail didn't tell you about this, it is because she never had one. Only a few special medicine cats have second mentors- guardians." ((OOC: MAJOR HINT! Sparklepaw is going to be very, very special!))

Fernstream purred, "Yes. From now on, I will walk beside you wherever you go. You are a very special cat, Sparklepaw." She faded from sight, and the other cats of StarClan who were giving dreams did so as well. The sun was going to rise very soon, and so the medicine cats would have to awaken.
