Aquaflower did not speak, he only walked towards the aspen in silence. he lie down next to it, the faint like from the tree reflecting off his pelt and showing a ocean blue color hidden in his grey fur. He picked a spot between some of its roots that showed out of the ground, creating soft soil for Aquaflower to rest upon. Aquaflower shut his eyes and listened to the sounds of the forest. the cricket singing the sound it makes and the wind whispering in his ear, the feeling of air rush over him and he just listened, waiting for the cats of Starclan to address him.

Nightstar dd not know how to respond, He wanted to put the apprentices mind to rest by telling him that its going to be fine but he did not know how. "I..I" Nightstar stammered, his face showing discomfort, searching for a answer for the young cat. His eyes fixed on the ground in front of him. "I don't... know" Nightstar finally admitted, his fear slowly diminishing from him. Defeat showing in his dim green eyes, "I don't know Falconpaw, I wish I could tell you but I don't know. Please come in, I might not be able to give you a solid answer but I might be able to at least help put your mind to rest." Nightstar voiced to the young cat.

OOC: IM sorry, i just got back from a 3 hour car ride sleeping in the most uncomfortable way and getting bac at 1am. ill reply in the morning, its not gonna happen tonight. (Thank you for the praise by the way!)

Nightstar struggled for a second before snapping into reality, heavy breathing followed. "What was that... Thing!" Nightstar tried to ponder a answer before realizing he still had the apprentice in front of him. "Falconpaw, The foxes are strange creature we have not really understood yet. Talking our language is something of concern but non of which is needed right now. The best you can do for the clan is be strong and resilient, keep a eye out for them, make sure kits are safe, train to be the best warrior you possibly can!" Nightstar replied, confidence glowing in his once dull green eyes.

Aquaflower covered him eyes with his paw, the blinding flash did affect him but he did not see anything. "What do you mean, whats going on!" Aquaflower looked around in horror, the blindness not were in off until he snapped back, quickly standing up on the soft soil the star aspen provided. Taking a deep breath he sat down and pondered what it means. "Your enemies are friends, but they also have fear. While there is no monster, both the river, the earth and the trees will eat". Aquaflower recited to himself, hoping to figure out what it means.

Nightstar sighed, never had this happened, his brother Aquaflower was the talker. W-wait, did he mention something about a Longtooth, Before Nightstar spoke he noticed the apprentice having a fearful look. "Calm down Falconpaw," Nightstar reassured, "you wont fight alone. many warriors will be by your side, most likely your brother as well, in desperate times like these we need something more." Nightstar looked at the ground searching for a answers. "Try to get some sleep, We cant fight these foxes with our paws tired, here." Nightstar slowly pushed out poppy seeds from behind his nest, "I hid them away from Aquaflower when he tried to make me eat them, they will help you sleep."

Aquaflower was to busy focused in his own mind to hear the concerned apprentice. The prophecy he was given was... strange. Aquaflower snapped back into reality to see his apprentice watching him. "We need to get back to camp, something is not right." Aquaflower told Eaglepaw before darting off into the forest towards camp.

Aquaflower continued to run through the dense forest, he needed to speak with his brother about this, now! His heart raced and he slipped into a mind trance, the same voice repeating the message, "Your enemies are friends, but they also have fear. While there is no monster, both the river, the earth and the trees will eat". Aquaflower pondered this, worried, until he felt his paw twist, a shot of pain flew up his leg as he tumbled to the ground. A stray root got in the way of the medicine cat. The feeling of the cold air felt like it carried him to the hard ground, his head bounced once before being knocked out by the force of the impact.

Nightstar sighed, glad the apprentice was put to rest. But he was too awake to stay sitting, he stood up. His legs standing firm but stiff. He wondered out and watched over him camp, looking at the apprentices den to see falconpaw made it to his den. he then glanced over to the warriors den. Mudtail, leaflash, and redfeather asleep as well. Looking over at the medicine den he saw no sign of Aquaflower, "Strange, he should have came back by now..." Nightstar said under his breath for no one to hear.

Aquaflower slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry. His head and paw ached, a rain drop fell on his head and rolled off on the ground. Slowly the rain grew denser and denser. Aquaflower felt the tension on his scruff. Was Eaglepaw trying to drag him? "Eaglepaw, Find shelter, this storm is going get worse," Aquaflower uttered. His paw was severely twisted, he was not going anywhere in this storm.

Nightstar was beginning to get worried, he could hear the thunder and see the lightning flashing in the distance. There was a storm coming in with Aquaflower and Eaglepaw still out there. There was no way he could send a search party after them with this storm coming in. "I hope they make it though the night," Nightstar thought out loud.

Aqua flower grimaced in pain. Standing and n
Limping over to the tree hole. And laying down, sleeping was not going to be a option at this point wi the rain and thunderous ding over head.

Ooc: forgive me I'm on a iPad because my computer is in the shop now. I have been having a eventful month.

Aquaflower raised his head, the raining had ceased. "good morning Eaglepaw, yes, lets get back to camp." Aquaflower attempted to sand but his paw felt even worse, pain striking him with every step he took. "how about you run ahead? I'll be fine for now." Aquaflower insisted.

Nightstar's eyes fluttered awake, he had not had very good sleep from the vision he had last night. We needed to get the camp ready in case of attack. he rose up, his wounds almost practically healed, he felt great. He pushed his way back out of the den and saw the 2 apprentices talking and the camp soaked in water.

Aquaflower watched as the young cat sprang foreword back to camp. Relief flooded over him as now he had some time to think about this prophecy. Could it mean the forest is going to fall apart?

"Whoa, slow down Eaglepaw, what happened? More importantly, where Aquaflower?" Nightstar asked. A confusing look in his eyes. Trying to listen to the apprentice.

Aquaflower eventually had to stop, his paw aching with pain. There was no way he was walking on this paw for a while. The wind blew past for a moment, sheltering himself quickly behind the tree he was sitting at when he caught a scent! The scent his brother had when he was fighting the... Oh no, when he had fought the foxes. That meant there was a fox nearby and Aquaflower is not the one able for fighting. "At least im upwind of them, they cant scent me" Aquaflower thought in a rush.

Nightstar was shocked with the news, "Grab Mudtail and take her, she can patrol for the foxes while she at it." Nightstar replied in a cool tone, trying to keep his worry at bay, he needed to pay attention to the camp.

Aquaflower continued to hide behind the tree. His heart racing he tried to stay calm and think of a way out. he could just run for it but that could lead the fox directly to the camp if it did not catch him first. Sneaking was not a option either, this paw proved that. "I hope Eaglepaw comes back with some warriors!"

Nightstar Made his way from his en and towards the fresh kill pile. Nightstar grabbed a vole and made his way into the nursery. He set down the vole gently, "Stonepelt? Would you like some fresh kill?"

OOC: Please excuse my low muse, I just cant think

"Well, you seem a little jumpy. Are you alright?" Nightstar asked, watching out for the kits if they were nearby.

Aquaflower glanced at the cats, His heart still racing. "Shh, I can scent something of a fox. At least I think I can." Aquaflower replied in a low tone. He was unsure because the scent slowly disappeared over time it took but he was still anxious. "We need to get out of here, let get going..." Aquaflower contued before spotting the grey fur and jumping away, his paw shooting pain up his leg.

Leaflash eyes fluttered awake. She felt well rested, she rose to get out of the mossy bed.

Aquaflower just shook his head, "Did we forget that there is something nearby that will want to kill us if it was near by? No, good then, grab the kit and let get away from here." Aquaflower retorted in a low tone again, leaning on Mudtail to help alleviate the pain on his paw.

Nightstar Cocked his head at the queen, he could see she was longing to get back to being a warrior again. I could always offer to... no, not with the foxes. "is there something on your mind?"

Leaflash pushed through the entrance o the warriors den and saw tat the camp was empty right now as it is. except for the faint taking near the nursery.

(Thanks!)

Aquaflower followed by mudtail and the 2 apprentices. His paw still radiating pain. Watching his aprentice call for the leader.

Nightstar nodded to stonepelt, she was not wrong, ever since the foxes he had been worried but the nursery always seemed to calm him. the kits playing, reminds him of when he was a kit. "Well, i need to make sure everyone can be safe with the fox-" Nightstar was cut off when he heard Eaglepaw shout his name. His leader instincts took over and he bolted out of the nursery looking for the apprentice. "What!? is there something wrong?"

Aquaflower looked at his brothe with worry in his eyes, Explinign he dream he had and the prophecy he was told very last detail. "I think we need to be high alert until we can figure out what this means." Aquaflower finished.

Nightstar just gazed at his brother, listening and remembering who he is and studying his face while listening to everything Aquaflower said. "I agree, but there is something we are going to do first." Nightstar walked to the middle of the clearing and let out his yowl, "Let all cats who catch catch their own prey meeting the clearing"

Leaflash heard Nightstar give off the yowl of attention and she gave him er attention.

Nightstar watched around for his clan to gather, his fur standing on end but he had something he needed to do. "As you all know, we have had many days of eventful days with the attack of foxes and rouges. our warriors are going to be patrolling a lot more frequenter. if any suspicious activity is seen in camp please report it to mudtail or me." Nightstar finished up. "Now, this is something that is long overdue, Falconpaw and Maplepaw, please step foreword." Nightstar announced.

Nightstar waited patiently for the 2 apprentices to sit down, his bright green eyes gazing into the apprentices. "You 2 have made a tremendous amount of progress in your training, The way you were able to hold your own with those foxes was quite impressive. Know i am very proud of you both and your mentors for making such great warriors." Nightstar praised, His pride radiating from his sleek black fur. "I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices," as Nightstar recited the ceremonial words the wind whispered into his ears and past the apprentices smoothly, making sure their fur would not become ruffled but like Starclan was congratulating them. "They have worked hard to understand your noble code and have proven themselves in battle. Therefore I give them their warrior status in return." Nightstar turned to Sunpaw. "Sunpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this clan even at the cost of your life?" Nightstar asked.

Aquaflower watched the ceremony, remembering back when he and Nightstar found this clan. Nightstar thought he would never be reciting the ceremonial words to make a great apprentice a warrior because Nightstar did not believe Starclan existed until he saw the work on Starclan himself. Now he leads this clan with starclan by his side.

Nightstar nodded, "Then from this day forward, you shall be known as Sunheart, shadeclan welcomes you as a full warrior." Nightstar turned to Falconpaw, "Falconpaw, do you promise to uphold this clan and defend this clan even at the cost of your life?"

OOC: if i missed something on the ceremony please forgive me, its been awhile since i read the book and im still alittle fuzzy.

"Then from this day foreword you shall be known as Falconfeather! Shadeclan welcomes you as a full warrior" Nightstar announced proudly. "This clan meeting is over, enjoy the rest of your day you two." Nightstar meowed.

Nightstar nodded and continued around the camp, Making his way back towards the nursery to finish his conversation with stonepelt.

Aquaflower turned back to his medicine den, his gaze met with many herbs. the prophecy still rung in his mind. it just bugged him.

Leaflash joined in the chanting before it died down. Walking over to the new made warriors, "Congrats you guys!" She said passing by before meeting up with mudtail. "Do you need me somewhere too? Maybe a hunting patrol?"
