🍂Flickershade glanced down at the squirming kit and nodded her head, "Is indeed a blessing." Not really focused she wondered what the larger she cat could be dwelling on. The tom was dead, the remaining kit was alive, and the clans were still at peace... It just didn't sit right with the medicine cat. Her eyes lit up with an idea, "I think it's time for a trip to the Reflecting Pools, Starclan may be able to tell me something... only, how can I go and bring a kit with me?" The little she cats eyes dimmed again and her muzzled scrunched in thought.
🏚 Shadowstorm slowly wondered through the carrion scented area and tried to figure out how to find the "special" she-cat. He figured she wasn't just going to appear before his eyes, but that also meant he would have to devise a plan. Squinting his eyes against the sun a shadow quickly darted between himself and a grey tower that smelled of 3 day old fresh kill. Slowly lowering himself to the ground he tried to make himself seem smaller and less imposing, which was a feat in itself.

Flamestripe kneaded the ground under him. His orders were to watch over these two cats, surely he could do that at the Reflecting Pools. "I'll go with you," he blurted out. "I'll watch Lemonkit while you talk with StarClan."
A calico stood as tall as she could in front of Shadowstorm..which wasn't too considering she was barely more than a kit. Her multicolored eyes glared at the strange intruder accusingly. "Who are you, what are you doing here?" she hissed. Even with her fur puffed out, she didn't look half as intimidating as she thought.
((I'm gonna hold off on Speckle and Powder for a bit, I'm trying to decide how I want that to go.))

🍂Flickershade glanced at the tom in admiration, "Thank you, hopefully this won't be a trip wasted." Slowly she got to her feet and picked Lemonkit up. Walking forward she bumped her head against Flamestripe softly and began the trek to the Reflecting Pools.
🏚Shadowstorm tried his hardest not to laugh in the cats face as she tried to look immense and intimidating, instead he stayed laying down, and calm began to speak. "I am Shadowstorm. I come from a different place, but I come with the intent of recruiting cats like you. I need help in a battle I can't win myself. I've already convinced one cat, Tiger, to come fight with me. There will be plenty of food where we will wage this war, and no one will be able to stand against us." He paused for a moment trying to gauge how the tiny she-cat was taking all this in. After a moment he powered on, "I just need undying loyalty. I am leader, and I will not be questioned." With that he quieted down and waited patiently for the cat to respond.
(Where is the Reflecting Pools located exactly??)

((Between the CopperClan and DazzleClan border, underneath the Great Convergence lake.))
Dipping his head, Flamestripe followed the medicine cat out. His eyes and ears were fully open, taking in the nothing that was going on during the journey. Aside from the occasional bird song and squirrel calls, there was hardly a sign of life. By the time he could hear the soft sounds from the multiple tiny waterfalls, the tom had fully relaxed.
The calico opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off by a deeper voice. "Dragon, I've told you to stay away from strangers." The tiny cat smoothed down her fur, looking to the source of the voice. As if straight through a pile of Upwalker junk, a fawn colored she-cat emerged. Her pawsteps were calm and calculated as she made her way to the younger cat. "The only loyalty any cat here knows is to themselves," she told Shadowstorm as she turned to face him, revealing one gold and one blind eye. It wasn't going to be as easy to persuade her to join a cause that she had no case in.

🍂Flickershade could see the sun reflecting off the multiple waterfalls about the same time the tinkling water reached her ears. The journey hadn't been long, and it made the she-cat feel better to have Flamestripe with her. Slowly she lowered Lemonkit to the soft grass and nuzzled her soft side before padding to the lowest pool. Sitting at the edge of the ring of water she gently dipped a paw into the water, watching as little rings expanded from where she had placed her paw. Moments passed as the water began to glow a soft blue, the falls bubbling faster. Closing her golden eyes she sat, ears perked as if she was hearing a voice, but no one was there. More moments passed and she finally opened her eyes, sucking in a terrified breathe. "He's back..." that was all she said as she picked Lemonkit up and sprinted back to camp.
(Honestly didn't know how to go about that lol, so I had a 'That's so Raven' moment xD)
🏚Shadowstorm raised an eyebrow at the older she-cat, but wasn't deterred by her course words. "I don't plan for everyone to trust me inexplicetly, I'm a stranger, I just need to be trusted enough to help me help you. Living in this...place can't be feeding you and the little one. I can see your bones. If not tor new territory, do it for the kit. There is food aplenty, and protection from me." He felt as though it wasn't his most convincing speech, but it was all he could offer. The cats in the Dark Forest only gave him nine lives, not charisma.

There was no time to question the medicine cat before she dashed back to camp, so Flamestripe followed, staying on her heels. As they ran, he figured what was wrong in his head..no point in asking a cat with a kit in her jaw's, hard to talk that way. When they made it back to camp, the ginger decided to gather some moss and soak it. He dropped the ball of green in front of Flickershade, nosing it close.
The cat continued to eye the large tom, gaze still more calculating than wary. Behind her, she could feel Dragon press close. She didn't think she could trust this cat further than she could push him, but food was sometimes scarce here. The Upwalkers had been doing more to keep animals out of their carrion containers, and even though she could still get in and out, she couldn't bring the food with her. Still.. "Where is this new territory?"

🍂Flickershade lay down, side heaving in the medicine cat den and mentally thanked Flamestripe before pressing on the moss to drink the water dripping from it. After a few seconds of heavy breathing the tiny she-cat properly thanked the tom and wrapped her tail protectively around her kit. "We need to find Specklestar as soon as possible. That Rogue is alive, and bringing a great darkness with him."
🏚 Shadowstorm's nub of a tail twitched in thought, how to explain this and not sound like he had been dropped as a kit? Slowly kneading his paws he decided how to explain this. "In due time I will show the territory to all of you. The situation is... complicated." He knew the she-cat would more than likely not buy it, but again, the Dark Forest Cats never told him how to explain this part of the plan.

((Guardian, you're in. For some clarification, there's a magic veil around the clans' forest. Outsiders usually don't notice it, and humans can't get through. Obviously Shadowstorm and his brother got through pre-roleplay, so cats can still accidentally get through.))
Flamestripe nodded, totally agreeing. He started to say that he'd look for her, but knew the leader would verbally tear into him for disobeying her latest orders. "I'm sure she'll be back soon, she's not usually gone for long," he said in hopes of stalling.
The fawn cat narrowed her eyes. "That seems sketchy, so forgive me if I walk away now," she said decidedly, already turning around. However, she only got paw up before the tiny calico spoke up. "Kitty," she mewed in a quiet plea. The older cat turned with a grimace, already knowing she'd be meeting with her ward's mismatched eyes - huge and begging, the same way she ended up with the little mite in the first place. Oh she's good. Naive, but good, Kitty thought begrudgingly before letting out a sigh. "Fine, I'll make you a deal. Take us to this territory now, and I'll decide if I want to help you recruit more cats. I have better sway than most," she told Shadowstorm.
Tiger slipped through border walls of this Upwalker's den and that, looking for any cat he vaguely knew and thought would join him and the strange tom who confronted him.

🍂Flickershade started kneading her paws in a nervous fashion, scooting closer to her kit for comfort and trying hard not to just get to her paws and frantically search for the larger she-cat. Instead however she made herself lay on the soft rotted wood of the medicine cat den and breathe. Specklestar would soon be back, Flamestripe was right. After calming her racing mind she turned to the tom, "Could you find Littlepaw please? I need to make the time pass and he needs training." The little medicine cat said NO more and she started to rummage through herbs.
🏚 Shadowstorm saw no problem with showing them the territory beforehand. He knew the clan grounds far better than these cats and knew he could outrun them if they decided to make a break for it. The larger Tom stood and nodded his head, "Follow me." He quickly turned on his heel and assumed the two cats were following. Going back to the area where he had somehow ended up in this carrion place he could feel the electric like little bites again on the veil that divided the two planes. Now that he was trying to get back in it looked as though he was going to walk into a bright red wall, perplexed but not deterred he continued forward. A few short steps and he could smell the familiar scents of the evergreen trees and the soft crunch of snow beneath his feet. Looking behind him he watched how the other cats were handling the very new terrain.

Seeing how uncomfortable the medicine cat was, Flamestripe nodded. "Of course," he mewed, butting his head against Flickershade lightly in a soothing motion before leaving the dead log. Finding the other orange cat was simple enough, he didn't leave the camp much without his mentor's say-so. "Flickershade wants to go over some training with you," he told the younger tom.
"We need to hold a special meeting, I don't think we can wait for the next full moon," Powderstar had said, calm as ever despite the grave situation. Specklestar had always admired that about the younger leader. Even as a kit she'd been extraordinarily able to not let things break her. "You talk with your other neighbor, I'll handle mine." The larger she-cat agreed, and the two had parted ways. Now Specklestar was passing through the heart of the forest, a little sad she had no time to take in the beauty of the Great Convergence. The different colors of the leaves always captivated her when the clans came to meet under the full moon, the brilliant light making them seem as if they were glowing. For now she had matters to attend to, and pressed on to the warm territory that bordered her own.
Powderstar didn't have as far to go as her cousin, but she still went with a swiftness that matched the some the bitter winds her home could conjure. She wasn't particularly fond of BloomClan's climate, but it was nice to see flowers now and then. No time to dally, she scolded herself as she stopped to smell one of the larger flowers. A yowl was heard as she turned from the alluring beauty, but it seemed more excited than threatening.
Kitty was hesitant to follow Shadowstorm through the strangely colored wall, but had to run after Dragon as she raced through without a second thought. It seemed her strange power wasn't needed for this, but that didn't relax her any. The sudden change in temperature set off one alarm, and the snow that wasn't there before set off another. This place was odd, and she didn't feel she had any business here. But yet, there was something else inside her that said otherwise. "Alright cat, I'm listening," she nearly murmured.

🍂Littlepaw nodded at the larger tom and brought the small finch he was about to tuck into with him. These past few days had been very stressful for his mentor, he had been trying very hard to keep himself busy so she could care for Lemonkit and mourn properly, however, it did bring a small smile to his face to be back in the medicine cat den learning to do his duty to Copperclan. The warm feeling dissipated quickly however as he saw his normally calm and collected mentor pacing a tred into the soft wood of the log. Putting his bird down he sat down and waited patiently for Flickershade to notice him, but when she didn't he cleaned his throat gently, "You wanted to see me?" The tom meowed. Flickershade whipped her head around like someone had just launched an attack, when she saw it was her mentor she relaxed, but only a bit. "Oh yes, uh... we are going to go over herbs. Just something to keep you educated." The she-cat placed some herbs in front of the slightly smaller tom and began quizzing him.
🌸Petaldapple had been on border patrol when the cold scent of SnowfallClan's leader drifted past her. Lifting her head to get a better look over the bush she stood behind she saw Powderstar's white fluffy body before she disappeared behind a few weeping willows. Cocking her head slightly she went to inform her leader, SnowfallClan wasn't known for starting trouble, but she figured it was information needing to be shared. She quickly darted towards camp.
🏚 Shadowstorm smiled and sat in the cold snow, "Now that I have your attention, this is SnowfallClan, one of four clans that reside here... And my former home..." He paused at the memory of his brother's betrayal, but quickly continued on. "Our mission is to take over all these lands. To wreck as much havoc as we can. To plunder and pillage... to kill..." his ears flattened with the last and his claws extended. "I want these clans to suffer by my-i mean, our hands. That is why I need strong recruits, I'm big, but there is just one of me." As he grew silent he hoped this would finally convince the she-cat, he needed someone who wouldn't trust anyone, except maybe him with time.

Tiger slipped through border walls of this Upwalker's den and that, looking for any cat he vaguely knew and thought would join him and the strange tom who confronted him. ((This would be a good place for you to start, Guardian.))
Flamestripe settled down close to Lemonkit while the medicine cats did their thing. He hoped Specklestar would be back soon, and able to ease her friend's worry. The ginger tabby's mind seemed to close as he stared from the den, trying to not let Flickershade's nervousness overcome him.
Seeing a tom as large as Specklestar come flying at her, Powderstar braced herself. She didn't move out of the way however. No, she knew this cat meant no harm and even trusted him to stop before colliding. And she was right to trust this, as the tom stopped very near to her and merely butted his head against her shoulder. The collected leader did her best not to roll her eyes and instead twitched her whiskers. "Badgerstar, I'm glad you're well," she greeted. The tom in question, grey and white and jovial, stepped back and danced in place. As he began to still, he sobered up. "Petaldapple told me you'd crossed the border, what's wrong?"
The chill in the air around Kitty felt like it got worse as Shadowstorm spoke. She didn't want to risk her's and, more importantly, Dragon's lives for this cat's revenge. However, she didn't trust that Shadowstorm would just let them go. Cursing herself for getting dragged into this, Kitty sat down on the snowy ground. She supposed now was the time to talk strategy. "How do you propose we take out four clans? Even with all the cats from the Upwalker place, we'd be outnumbered, and most of them aren't well-fed."

🍂 Littlepaw pushed the last herb away from him as he gave his final answer "Marigold, this is Marigold." He lifter his head to beam proudly at him mentor, but was met with her facing the entrance to the den, her tail twitching and ears pricked as far as they could go. The tom's shoulders rounded slightly from his mentor's complete lack of focus on him. Silently he gently put a paw on her shoulder, only then did she react and it wasn't with praise. Before anyone could have stopped it the she-cat spit in terror and swatted at Littlepaw, claws unsheathed. The smaller tom stumbled back as the slightly larger cats paw connected with his shoulder. Breathing rapidly the she-cat backed away from the cowering tom. "I-i'm so sorry." The words were met with a single glistening tear that rolled down Littlepaw's face before he sprinted out of the medicine cat den, while Flickershade laid there in shock.
🏚 Shadowstorm couldn't keep the evil grin from spreading over his muzzle as the she-cat agreed to hear out his plan. "I don't plan to attack at once, that would be a death sentence. Instead I plan to create distrust and chaos between the groups before attacking. I want my group to be trained and well fed before we do anything. So, we hunt here, but stay in the carrion place, so we won't be found during a border patrol, and our scents won't linger as long." He felt ad though his plan was a good one. If the she-cat had input, however, he would take it in stride.

Hearing the hiss, Flamestripe swung his head over to the two medicine cats. He immediately jumped up, but was too late to get to the frightened apprentice. "What happened?" he asked, frantic but trying to keep his voice low. His eyes went from Flickershade to the outside, where Littlepaw had ran off. Without giving the older cat time to answer, he sighed. "Nevermind, I'll go talk to him," he said gently before chasing Littlepaw. He approached the young tom cautiously, making enough noise to alert him. "I'm sure she didn't mean it," he started, resting his tail on Littlepaw's shoulder. "Right now Flickershade's just..dealing with a lot."
Specklestar's paws pounded the ground as she raced back to camp. She was going to need a good rest when all this was over, she was sure, but at the moment she needed her deputy and medicine cat at the Great Convergence. She briefed her deputy quickly and sent them on ahead before going to the dead log that served as the medicine den. "Flickershade, are you well? Powderstar's called for a special meeting," the leader tentatively mewed from the opening in the log.
Kitty nodded slowly. That was a good start. Her eyes narrowed as she looked up at Shadowstorm. "These clan cats, do they let outsiders in often?" She was beginning to get cold, and could tell that Dragon was too by the way she pressed up against the fawn-colored cat.
Tiger slowed his searching pace as he caught the fresh scent of another cat. He followed it until he came across a grey and black she-cat. She seemed a little familiar, but he still came up to her carefully. "Hey there," he said suavely. Hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to get this cat to join him, as she was the oddly the first he'd come across this whole time. Maybe if Shadowstorm didn't have any better luck, he won't be mad at me for failing so much today, the tabby thought.

🍂Littlepaw sniffles softly at the older toms words, "I've been trying so hard to give her space and be a good apprentice... I know these past few days have been really bad, but what about me? She's been the only parent ever for me..." he looked down at the ground, his ears folding back. "Ever since Redbird dropped me off Flickershade has always been there for me and now it's almost like I don't exsist... and now this." He looked at his shoulder then to Flamestripe, "I just want my mentor back, she was getting better." The little tom grew silent, knowing he sounded selfish and not caring at the moment.
Flickershade looked up from her crouched position and called out softly to Specklestar, "I will be out in just a moment." Straightening up she brushed a few licks over her ruffled fur and stepped out of the log to find Specklestar still waiting. Looking around camp she couldn't see Flamestripe or Littlepaw and sighed softly. She would have to apologize when she got back.
🏚 Shadowstorm looked up at the shivering cats and shook his head, "Clan cats don't normally see outsiders, so no need to take them in." Slowly getting to his paws he padded back to the veil, "For now we go back to the carrion place and rest, we need to do more recruiting tomorrow." With that he walked through the veil and waited for Tiger were he had left him last, letting Kitty and Dragon go back deeper in the twoleg place.

Knowing what it was like to have relied on surrogate parents, Flamestripe gulped before speaking, "I-I know it's hard, but also remember that Flickershade not only had her newborn kits ripped away and killed in front of her, but by the tom who..sired them." He sighed, looking at a fallen leaf as he spoke again, "And now StarClan has told her that that cat is somehow alive. She wanted to get her mind off of it until Specklestar got back for them to speak, and getting back to training you seemed like the best way." While taking another pause for breath and to gather his thoughts, the warrior caught a scent in the air. It was their leader, and he looked toward Flickershade's den in time to see them leaving. His tail thumped to the ground quietly before he stood up, still close to Littlepaw. "We are a clan, that means we're all family," he reminded the apprentice before going back to take care of Lemonkit.
There was tension in the air, Specklestar noticed as she headed toward the Great Convergence with her medicine cat. She tried to keep up a good pace while she turned her head to speak with Flickershade. "What happened while I was gone?" she asked.
"Upwalker, me? Oh no, I don't have any of those," Tiger purred. He decided to get straight to the point, not wanting to keep Shadowstorm waiting for long. "I do, however, have a proposition for you. An adventure actually."
Dragon trailed a little ahead of Kitty as they padded back to their current den. "So are we going to kill a bunch of cats that we don't know?" she asked as she curled up in a makeshift nest of colorful Upwalker pelts. The older cat's tail frizzed as she thought. After a moment, she nodded, "Normally I'd say no, but there's something about that forest that pulls me in."

🍂 Littlepaw watched as Flamestripe walked away and couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself, Flamestripe was right. Flickershade was trying to make the best of a very bad situation. The little tom paused in following Flamestripe as he recalled the older tom saying that the Rouge was alive. His stomach churned at the thought at first in fear for Flickershade, then in fury. How could Starclan let this happen? Growling under his breathe he went to go look for Smokebreeze, the she cat was one of the clan's best fighters. The little tom didn't plan to sit by as the Rouge was out there alive and more than likely plotting.
Flickershade flattened her ears slightly at her leader's question. "I went to the Reflecting Falls before you got back... he's back Specklestar, he's back for revenge." The she-cat's sides started to heave at the thought, but she powered through it as tears filled her eyes. "And I lashed out at Littlepaw... I was training him and was distracted by my thoughts. He was just trying to get my attention and I clawed him." A tear skimmed down her face.

The big she-cat's paws faltered for a fraction of a second. "I suspected the first part. That's..what we're meeting to discuss," she admitted. She moved close to Flickershade, pressing her pelt against the other's. "I'm sure Littlepaw will be fine. He's an understanding cat." Mixed scents of all the clans grew stronger, and when Specklestar looked ahead she could see all the high ranking cats of the clans she shared the forest with. While SnowfallClan held their usual calmness, DazzleClan had their fur puffed out. The tiny deputy seemed to be the most uneased, shifting on her paws with every breath. BloomClan was indiscernible. Badgerstar was amazingly keeping still, but there was still a hint of excitement sparkling in the tom's eyes. With the long peace between DazzleClan, and the new peace that came from Specklestar and Powderstar leading their clans, there wasn't much fighting these days. She was sure the tom was ready for a good battle, but also knew he didn't like the idea of his clan being in danger.

Flickershade took a seat amongst the other cats, nodding a brief hello to the cats she knew better such as Powderstar. Feeling the mostly hidden angst from the other cats made her pawpads prickle. She didnt appreciate meetings to begin with, being so near to cats she didnt know as well as her clanmates made her anxious enough, but the reason they were all here... it was enough to make her stomach churn. Silently, she prayed to Starclan that the issue could be dealt with before any real chaos happened.
Back at camp Littlepaw was diligently listening to Smokebreeze as the fluffy cat explained fighting, and how best not to loose. "Obviously just going by what I say won't keep you alive 100 percent, for that I have no surefire way of keeping anyone alive... but, those tips should help a bit at least." The smoke colored cat laid down in front of the orange tom. "What's the medicine cat's apprentice want to do with fighting anyhow?" The she-cat's yellow eyes narrowed in question. Littlepaw grew flustered in turn, "Just in case something happens of course." He looked away from her, his ears flattened. The she-cat tilted her head and stood, going back to the warrior den, but not before muttering under her breath, "Hm, of course..."

(Do you need his info again or...?)
☀️Blackstar scanned the crowd of cats, his Deputy Tumbleweed not too far from his side. He wasn't too informed on what was going on, Powderstar was in too much a hurry to clarify, but he trusted the white Snowfall Leader almost as much as his deputy... almost. Across the clearing he saw The deputy of Bloomclan whispering frantically to Badgerstar, who look entertained with her unease. The black and white cat always looked at ease and perpetually laughing at something no one else knew.
🌸 Petaldapple licked down her slightly puffed fur, her blue eyes flicking over the equally confused cats around her. "What in the name of Starclan is going on Badgerstar? Sporadic meetings don't happen unless we are in danger. Should we be expecting an attack?" He claws flexed in her unease. Waiting for her leader's response was like stepping on porcupine quills, unbearable.

((I still have his info as Darkstar..was that the same cat? If it is I'll put it on front page when I feel like messing with all that again. Also he talked with Specklestar lol.))
Badgerstar looked, the slightest hint of worry flashing in his eyes, at his multicolored deputy. He stayed silent however, as Powderstar began the meeting.
The smallest of the leaders sat on the log they all used for official gatherings, fur smooth despite the circumstances. "I'm sorry for the sudden call, and I apologize further for the mistake I made that led us to this," she started. Her blue eyes focused on her paws for a mere second, then she let her gaze sweep over her fellow cats. "One of the rouges I let join SnowfallClan has betrayed us and done harm to the clans. He was killed, but his body is nowhere to be found."
Even as a tremor ran down Tumbleweed's spine, she spoke up, "Couldn't a bigger animal just have taken him?" It was more of a hope. She didn't want to think of a dead cat coming back to life. A shift in fluffy black fur caught her attention, and she turned to look expectantly at Specklestar.
"There have been signs from StarClan that.." The normally strong leader looked hesitant, and that worried the other cats more than the impromptu gathering. She looked briefly to Flickershade, pressing close to the medicine cat. "That he has found a way to come back, and that he will be attacking again."

(I thought it was Darkstar, but for the life of me I couldn't remember properly and well then lol, I really need to sleep before posting on this x$)
🍂Flickershade's body stiffened at her Leaders words. She knew them true, but it still felt like a physical blow. Silently hunkering down she prayed to Starclan, hoping they would give her strength to finish this meeting without losing it completely again.
☀️Darkstar stood, "How are we so certain he plans on attacking again? And how is he alive now? As far as I know, you don't come back from the Dark Forest." The large tom stepped closer to Flickershade, noticing her unease. "What has he done to your clan, or perhaps you in general Flickershade?" The white and orange she-cat hunkered down further, the tip of her tail twitching softly. "I don't really wish to talk about it..." but Darkstar pushed closer to the upset cat, lowering himself to be eye to eye with her. "We need to know what kind of danger we are putting ourselves in. Please, tell us." Flickershade's eyes filled with tears as she scrambled away from the larger cat, looking to Specklestar for help. The little she-cat couldn't bring herself to words.
🌸Petaldapple watched as Darkstar got in the smaller cats face and gave a small growl before stepping to her side for extra comfort. "Leave it be Darkstar, she clearly isn't in the mood for sharing." The tom lofted that dark blue gaze to Petaldapple's much lighter blue, slowly bowing the tom moved back to his spot next to Tumbleweed.

Knowing what it was like to have relied on surrogate parents, Flamestripe gulped before speaking, "I-I know it's hard, but also remember that Flickershade not only had her newborn kits ripped away and killed in front of her, but by the tom who..sired them." He sighed, looking at a fallen leaf as he spoke again, "And now StarClan has told her that that cat is somehow alive. She wanted to get her mind off of it until Specklestar got back for them to speak, and getting back to training you seemed like the best way." While taking another pause for breath and to gather his thoughts, the warrior caught a scent in the air. It was their leader, and he looked toward Flickershade's den in time to see them leaving. His tail thumped to the ground quietly before he stood up, still close to Littlepaw. "We are a clan, that means we're all family," he reminded the apprentice before going back to take care of Lemonkit. There was tension in the air, Specklestar noticed as she headed toward the Great Convergence with her medicine cat. She tried to keep up a good pace while she turned her head to speak with Flickershade. "What happened while I was gone?" she asked. " Upwalker, me? Oh no, I don't have any of those," Tiger purred. He decided to get straight to the point, not wanting to keep Shadowstorm waiting for long. "I do, however, have a proposition for you. An adventure actually." Dragon trailed a little ahead of Kitty as they padded back to their current den. "So are we going to kill a bunch of cats that we don't know?" she asked as she curled up in a makeshift nest of colorful Upwalker pelts. The older cat's tail frizzed as she thought. After a moment, she nodded, "Normally I'd say no, but there's something about that forest that pulls me in." ((K so I may or may not have internet until next week. Home complications, everything's fine I'm just out on internet there. I'm at a friend's for but I'll be going home in a few hours.)) (Terribly sorry for the late reply. -_-") 🌌Amaya blinked and stared at him moment. "An adventure?" Amaya repeated thoughtfully, it sounded fun going on a adventure. 'Always find out more before answering.' Amaya reminded herself sternly, before speaking again. "Can you tell me more about this adventure?"
