Moss As night fell, revealing the clans' starry ancestors, Slitherfoot padded beside Mosspaw along the stream they had followed until the hollow in which the sacred Star Pool lay. Memories of her own medicine cat ceremony and Mosspaw's first trip to the pool came to her mind. For the familiarity of the place, it still filled her pelt with shivers of awe. Mosspaw felt as if she were walking on the stars. Excitement prickled in her paws as they grew closer, her fur rising along her shoulders. She felt as though she were glowing, sensitive to StarClan’s presence in the area. “We’re close, aren’t we?” She meowed, the black she-cat barely visible as she whispered. Slitherfoot nodded by instinct, but with her own dark pelt nearly hiding her in the night as well, she added in a whisper, "We're very close." She meowed. When they reached the hollow, the long-bodied medicine cat slipped inside, the sense of their ancestor's presence only growing stronger. In the darkness, however, it was clear they had reached their destination the moment they approached the sound of the stream's water flowing into the pool. oddly enough, however, it didn't seem like it was as bright as usual. Slitherfoot stepped to examine the pool. Much of the water was coated in moss.

Slitherfoot's ear twitched at Mosspaw's mew, but her mind was occupied by the moss-covered pool. She wondered why it had instinctively captured her interest so much until it occurred to her that it might be a sign. She had wondered for a while what would be the right name for her apprentice - one that credited the black she-cat's deep connection with Starclan, and her great skill as a medicine cat despite her humility. She turned to meet Mosspaw's gaze as she sat down, flicking her tail for her to join her.

(Me too, I'm so proud of her :') They've grown so much.)
Slitherfoot turned her gaze toward the Star Pool, gazing upon the reflection of the stars as she recalled the words of her own mentor Diamondflame. "I, Slitherfoot, medicine cat of Sunclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help she will serve her clan for many moons." She looked back to meet Mosspaw's green gaze. "Mosspaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between clans and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?"

"Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Mosspaw, from this moment you will be known as Mosspool." She meowed, feeling confident in the name Starclan had shown to her. Sensing their ancestors' presence around them, speaking their approval with her. "Starclan honors your humility and dedication, and we welcome you as a full medicine cat of Sunclan." She stepped forward to rest her muzzle on her apprentice's - her dear friend's - head.

(Hello again! 👻videocassette👻 Moonblazer) Mosspool sat down beside Slitherfoot, casting a glance at the mossy starpool. “We learn from one another, all of us. Kits from elders, apprentices from warriors, leaders from StarClan... and the opposite. I hope we have things to learn from StarClan tonight.” She purred softly.

Slitherfoot nodded thoughtfully at Mosspool's observation, aware of the renewed strength of Starclan emanating from her friend's pelt. "You're right. I hope so too." She purred, and she turned to crouch down at the mossy surface, and after a nod to her fellow medicine cat, she touched her nose to the surface. A familiar shiver ran through her as she drifted into the mysterious hunting grounds of Starclan.

Slitherfoot padded into the clearing of silvery grass, wondering if Mosspool would join her, or if she had her own visions to see. Her ears twitched as she waited for a sign of a Starclan warrior to emerge to speak with her from the woods.

“We’ve been expecting you.” A rumbling voice sounded through the starry field, three cats brushing close to eachother. One was black and white, muscled and strong compared to her leaner younger silver tabby brothers. Her amber eyes gleamed. “Hello Mosspool, I am Brambleheart. And these are my younger brothers. Juniperleaf and Sagestripe...the rest of them are off upon other grounds.” She mused.

Slitherfoot's eyes widened when she saw the quick movement of a starry warrior, and she recognized the ginger and white fur of her mentor, Diamondflame. As much as Slitherfoot wished to greet and share tongues with the previous medicine cat, it was clear she was intent on showing Slitherfoot something, running off into another part of the forest. Slitherfoot darted after her, keeping track of her by her ginger tail streaming behind her. The trees whipped past her as she followed, and the figure of Diamondflame vanished in one final leap into a new clearing. As Slitherfoot stopped to look around, she immediately recognized Sunclan camp. Under her paw, a bright colored leaf seemed to move as though it wished to escape her weight, and the moment she lifted her paw from it, it burst into flames, startling the medicine cat into a yowl. To her alarm, the flaming leaf lifted from the ground, swirling in the air. Instinctively, Slitherfoot's eyes darted around to watch the leaf, anxious it would catch the dens on fire. However, it seemed to have a different path. By a wind she couldn't feel, the leaf was guided toward the outside of camp, and it began to circle it, alighting the ground with flames that did not crawl an inch toward the camp. Instead, the flames grew in a protective circle, seeming to bar out an outside darkness. Slitherfoot's eyes trained on the leaf as it rose yet again after circling the camp with a warm, safe barrier, and, in a gust of comforting cool wind, it blew off into the distance, light surrounding its path as it disappeared in the horizon. She felt an odd tinge of wistfulness to watch it leave, but the sight left the medicine cat at ease. After a long moment, her comfort was disturbed by a strange yowl from beyond the flames, her pelt standing on end at the eerie sound. Even so, despite the yowling and the dark figures seeming the pace just beyond the flames, nothing could break past the shield, and the air in the camp was tranquil. As the shrill cry rose to an unbearable level, Slitherfoot found her eyes snapping open to the sight of the Star Pool, and she was sitting bolt upright. Her mind rushed as she processed the vision she had seen.
(Gave a little foreshadowing to Vulturesight's falling into the Dark Forest >:3 And probable death tbh.. xD )

(Thanks! I'm thinking when Emberstar and Leafblaze leave off on good terms, Vulturesight will lose his trust in Emberstar and start to think that everyone on good terms with Leaf is on the side of the DF, and it's his duty to Starclan to be their enemy...)

“Hello, Brambleheart.” Mosspool meowed, lowering her head in respect to the StarClan she-cat, “Juniperleaf... Sagestripe.” She nodded to the two other starry cats. Looking up, Mosspool had a look of desperation in her eyes, “Please, Brambleheart. Would you tell me what comes next for my home, for SunClan? There is so much uncertainty in camp...” Her mew trailed off, echoing slightly in her ears. “So much fear in your eyes...” Brambleheart soothed, her voice strong yet assured. “But Sunclan is not lost, not for a long shot. And you have doubts, but we can see a brighter path than you can.” Juniperleaf scoffed. “You’ve lost faith in the honor of our family. The blood of the first warriors of Sunclan survives, and will not fade to darkness.” “Never.” Sagestripe stepped forward this time, the calm and intelligent tom giving a meaningful look. “The clan has nothing to fear from my daughter...she lost her way, but she was never truly lost. In her heart, she survived, and now, she fights back stronger than ever. All for you, and for those who need her most. That is her destiny...and the path she will take, will be noble and for those who need her. Sunclan can trust this flame.”

(My phone keeps trying to autocorrect Mosspool into Mosspaw so just ignore it if I miss it xD) Mosspool listened quietly to the cats, paying special attention to Sagestripe. The medicine cat lowered her head, partially in shame, but also in respect. “I understand.” Mosspool meowed, thinking back to the queen in camp, and to her kits. She prayed they would pursue the same bright future as their parents, and hoped that they would not fall prey to the schemes of the dark forest like their kin had before them. Mosspool raised her eyes, this time not in desperation, but in determination. “I will make sure to keep ill thoughts from SunClan. Thank you.” “Tell her I always loved her and her brother...that they always made me proud.” Sagestripe mewed pleadingly, voice tight with greif and care. “I will see them both again one day. Do this for me, Mosspool?”

Welcome to being a full Medicine Cat. Starclan has a bright eye upon you. We will see you again soon.” The three siblings began to ripple and fade.
