Highstones/Mothermouth

First topic message reminder :

The place where you're closest to StarClan. A huge, underground cavern with a large crystal, the Moonstone, in the middle. When the moon is right, the crystal lights and sparkles. When arriving, you must walk down the large, cramped underground pathway with barely any light. Then when you get there, you must wait. When the crystal begins to sparkle, you lay down and put your nose to the crystal and close your eyes. There you receive dreams from StarClan. When travelling to the Moonstone you cannot eat anything- even travelling herbs.

New leaders go here, as well apprentices for one trip and Medicine Wolves go here every half moon. Once you end the dream, you do not tell anyone what you saw. Leaders come here to receive their nine lives and for guidance.

Lightpup quickly bounded in after Owlscreech. It was extremley dark in the cave and the small pup almost lost her way. However, she easily picked up Owlscreech's scent and finally led herself to the amazing Moonstone. It was iluminating all around it and Lightpup could not believe its beauty. Quietly, Lightpup laid down by Owlscreech as she was unsure what to do.

Leafpaw smiled and looked up at the other two wolves present. She tilted her head slightly and then back towards Feather as she congratulated her. She narrowed her eyes and pawed her softly, she whispered ever so quietly. "Now what?" Her ears flicked uncomfortably as she wasn't supposed to talk.

Feathersoul grinned. "Don't worry, you can talk. I was just testing you, and you passed." Her inky eyes were swollen with pride and humor. "We wait for Owlscreech and the pup to do what they must."

Lightpup carefully observed Leafpup's ceremony trying to memorize it for her own. The light brown pup gave her a friendly smile to congradulate her as she was unsure if she was permitted to speak. She looked up as Twistedpaw walked in, and gave her a smile too. She then turned her gaze to Owlscreech waiting for intrusctions.

Feathersoul let out a sigh of relief as Twistedpaw entered the cavern. Its all good. Twistedpaw is fine. Although I do wonder why Owlscreech is going to have two apprentices...

Owlscreech blinked his golden eyes noting the confused looks, he said calmly "these two wolves have shown understanding and compassion. So i will take both on as apprentices. When twistedpaw becomes a full medicine wolf i will step down to the elders den". He paused looking at Twistedpaw with pride. He let out a long breath "Twistedpaw and Lightpup is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as a Medicine Wolf?" His golden eyes watched them contently. They would be good medicine wolves when he became an elder. The chill winds of new leaf made his old bones ache. He looked forward to seasons of rest.

Lightpup was shaking with excitment. She was extremley nervous. She looked up at Owlscreech as he spoke she told herself she could do this.
I got this....
"It is." Lightpup said, keeping her head held high with confidence.

The old medicine wolf watched his two apprentices with affection. He glanced over at starclan before looking at the stars saying proudly "Warriors of StarClan, I present to you these apprentices. They have chosen the path of a Medicine Wolf. Grant them your wisdom and insight so that they may understand your ways and heal Stormclan Clan in accordance with your will." he stood touching his graying muzzle to Twistedpaw and Lightpups head. saying "congratulations Lightpaw and Twistedpaw, your path begins here". he motioned for them to move toward the moonstone.

Lightpup, no Lightpaw was so proud of herself! She was also proud of Twistedpaw and the apprentice who went by the name Leafpaw. She looked up at Owlscreech as he motioned them to the Moonstone. Lightpaw padded foward and laid beside the Moonstone. Its beauty left her stunned as she waited for further instructions.

Feathersoul smiled at the now official apprentices. She motioned for Leafpaw before lying beside the glowing white stone. "Now, when we all lie down, we'll touch our noses to the stone and fall asleep as we wait for StarClan to send us a dream," she explained.

Owlscreech indicated for his apprentices to do as Feathersoul had instructed. He lay down touching his nose to the moonstone. INstantly he became cold and still as he fell into starclans dreawm. he hoped that starclan would awnser them this time.

Lightpaw watched as her mentor touched his nose to the glowing stone. She blinked, and turned to the stone. She let out a soft sigh, and gently tapped her nose to the cold stone. The apprentice fell into a deep sleep, her nervousness simply fading away.

Feathersoul cast one last glance at Leafpaw. She pressed her nose against the stone as well. She closed her eyes, feeling herself being absorbed by the darkness. Here we go again...

Leafpaw lied down before the stone as well and looked at it her eyes wide. Slowly she pushed her nose forward and touched it gingerly to the stone. A bone gripping cold ran down her spine, she gritted her teeth as felt as if the floor left from beneath her paws. Then there was nothing, but darkness.

Owlscreeches eyes flashed open as he suddenly sat up panting, the dream he had recived from starclan throbbing in his mind. He gave a grunt to himself, the dream confirmed that he had not long left in this world but also that a pup at the camp needed his help. He stood and agrivatedly nosed LIghtpaw and Twistedpaw awake. Urgency in his golden eyes.

Lightpaw was standing in a starry forest, it was stunning. She stared in awe at all of her surroundings. The prey was plentiful and the moon was shining.
"I must be in Starclan." She whispered to herself.
Then, a pale wolf walked towards her, kicking up stardust with each step. She cast the newly named apprentice a warm smile, and proceeded to speak;
"Lightpaw, we welcome you as a medicine wolf apprentice. Use your knowledge wisley, and always help those in need."
Lightpaw stared up at the starry warrior, and nodded, her eyes shining with excitment. Then, the starry warrior upon her continued;
"You must be going back to your camp." The starry warrior touched noses to Lightpaw's and faded. Lightpaw was begining to wake up when she felt rapid shaking and awoke with a gasp. She looked up and Owlscreech and saw urgencey in his eyes.
"Whats wrong?" She asked quikly shaking dust out of her fur.

Feathersoul's eyes flew open. She curled her tail around her back leg as she lay down, panting. Thundersticks...but that's not possible! Its not even Greenleaf yet! She shook her head, clearing her thoughts of the dark and bloody picture she had seen in her dream. She turned, looking to see Leafpaw still asleep.

Leafpaw didn't understand what was happening, she saw nothing but heard everything. Panic rose in her chest, she was so confused. She tried to wake herself up, successfully she finally did. Her amber eyes blinked open and a silent gasp left her maw. She was so confused and now her head was hurting. The young female looked at Feather confusion clouding her eyes.

Feathersoul peered down at Leafpaw, seeing the confusion and slight pain in her eyes thanks to the slice of sunlight filtering through the crack in the ceiling.. The black fae stood, glancing over to the side where Owlscreech and Twistedpaw and Lightpaw were. "Well, I think we'll be going now. It was great to see you," she muttered softly, wanting to get home as soon as possible to see what Leafpaw had dreamed of. She turned back to her daughter, giving a quick flick of her tail as she padded out of the chamber.

(Sorry, but its just really boring waiting for, like, four people to post .-.)

Leafpaw followed and looked back at the stone, she shivered and walked out. The chilly air, made the small female shiver as she began to walk home. Home, that was all she looked forward to. Home. With light steps she raced off.

-Camp

Ravenclaw was panting when he arrived. He glanced around,only to catch stale scents. He growled and snorted. He stood at the mouth of the tunnel and glanced in. "Hey! Owlscreech,are you and your scrawny butt in there?"

(New post)
Ravenclaw sighed. "Its a full-moon idiot." He snorted. "Another thing,there's a kid,shes vomiting like crazy." He flicked his tail towards the camp. "You take care of her. If you don't." He trailed off,then turned and stalked to Four Trees.where the gathering took place.
