(I miss her so much...)
Northstar sprinted through the star scape. Her elegant blue eyes darted about the plains in her search. As long as she had been running and as fast as she was going, her breath never grew heavy.
Northstar blinked when she spotted three along the paths. She slowed to a stop on a hill ahead of them. "Lionshade, Lilacbreeze, Raggedthorn. I'm sure you've felt the disturbance."

Raggedthorn's eyes brightened as he saw Northstar approaching, greeting her with a relieved mew. "Yes, exactly. It's dreadful. I've only now started getting used to how strong this feeling can get, I can only imagine how often it came about all those moons ago." He admitted.
"Why don't we just be the ones to strike first?" Lilacbreeze huffed, shaking her head at Lionshade's slightly bewildered look. Her courage was unmatched, but he emotions could be quick to jump. "We keep waiting for them to strike first, we lose more living cats, then we fight them back. We need to get rid of them once and for all, surely?" She fretted, looking across the grounds of Starclan to stare at the throng of playing kits and apprentices who had been taken to Starclan far too early.

"We're not to intervene in the Clans." Northstar flicked her tail with annoyance at her own words. "But we can prepare them. ShadowClan endured the Dark Forest before, I know they can do it again." However, she looked off with a bit of worry in her eyes. "The elders will tell the kits stories of the AdderClan battle. My--" she cleared her throat. They weren't HER'S anymore. "The senior warriors know what to look for in the apprentices. Cliffheart and his kits have seen the horrors of the Dark Forest first hand. All of them know better than to consider following the Dark Forest. Although, Cliffheart..." she trailed off with a sigh.

"It's still bad, isn't it?" Lionshade murmured knowingly, approaching Northstar with a look of tired understanding. "Even after you brought him back, do you still think he has darkness left in him?" He asked.
"That's my fear. Kits and apprentices are always thirsty for knowledge, and power. Ambition to do good, be the best they can be, prove themselves. The Dark Forest knew how to twist that ambition. Even with the tales we shared of Adderclan, I can only imagine that haughty kits and apprentices would see them more as clan fables instead of dire warnings." Raggedthorn fretted.

"It's not that there's darkness left in him." Northstar sighed. "Since Owlshadow came here, he's slipping. He still doesn't see himself worthy of entering StarClan's hunting grounds. If he keeps spiraling into this depression, we may never be able to pull him out of the dark." She looked at Raggedthorn and nodded with soft agreement. It felt like it was just yesterday they were hiding with WindClan in Highstones. Now, AdderClan was just an elder's tale.

"The Dark Forest can't have him. They simply cannot. We can't let him only have that option." Lionshade mewed tersely. He glanced over at his mate, her pale eyes sharp with worry.
"But if his heart is not calling to Starclan, and he loses his path, we can't draw him back by force. You and I and everyone else all knows that. We can guide him, but if that connection is gone, then we can't reach him." Lilacbreeze murmured, her claws digging into the ground.
"The Dark Forest has gained a new member." Raggedthorn rumbled. "The Windclan cats were saying that Meadowbrook perished in Highstones, leaving behind kits. I can only imagine what will happen next, but the raw dedication she had to the Dark Forest from such a young age is troubling. If more cats follow in her pawsteps, the Dark Forest will only get stronger."

For RiverClan: Cherrycloud- A deep orange she-cat with darker orange markings throughout her body. She has a white underbelly, chest and the front part of her muzzle. Her tail is fluffier then the rest of her body puffing out. Her eyes are a deep orange/yellow color. She is a set in her ways type of cat though she is caring and kind to those of her clan but outsiders she could care less, unless they are kits. She has no living family left. ( Jewelspirit ) Stagheart- A stocky dark sandy tan tom with four white paws. The tom has white spots dappling his back, belly, and face. He had pale emerald green eyes, his whiskers are longer then most cats. He is a kind tom who wishes to follow the code down to each and every word. His one biggest downfall is he would rather follow his leader blindly then listen to any other reason. He protects his sister since there parents passing at a young age, he feels responsible for her. His sister is Ottersong, his parents Wiltedwillow and Oceanripple were killed in a flood when they were kits. ( Jewelspirit ) Ottersong- A dark brown tabby she-cat with two back white paws, her fur is sleek against her body her ears have a slight deformity, rather then triangle they are a bit rounder then they should be. Her eyes are a deep leaf green color, her nose and paw pads are a soft pink color. She is loyal, kind, and loving. She is always close to her brother more then any other cat in the clan. The two are always together. She seeks comfort in him, she is a bit shy around others worried that they too will die like her parents and leave her. Her brother is Stagheart, her parents Wiltedwillow and Oceanripple were killed in a flood when they were kits. ( Jewelspirit ) Also, I need to make a form for Sprucewing. He's not on the page, but he died in the rat attack when Goldberry was posessed.

Northstar looked at Raggedthorn gravely. She remembered Meadowbrook and all the trouble she caused. Hopefully, Meadowbrook will stick to WindClan. Northstar looked back at Lilacbreeze and Lionshade. "I wish there was a way I could reach him. I gave him one of my lives to spare him from the Dark Forest, I wish he trusted me that I would not abandon him there even now. Yet, StarClan has been cruel to him. Taking his family away one by one. He never got to say goodbye to Owlshadow and his lack of faith makes it impossible for her to visit him. I wish I could get him to open his eyes to how much StarClan cares for him." Northstar flicked her ear and a brief thought crossed her mind. "Maybe..." She sighed.

“That’s the face of you having an idea, Northstar.” Raggedthorn mewed, remembering that face many times in his long life. He tilted his head. “What idea do you have? You’ve never led us astray before, I doubt you could now.”

"It is a risky idea." Northstar shook her head. "Cliffheart is not the only one in ShadowClan I worry for. When I made him deputy, I didn't know Cedarstar was a former warrior given a second chance at life. Moonstar told me everything about him and now those the memories of his old life are resurfacing. I fear he will lose sight of reality and the temptation of his old life will present themselves. If Cedarstar is not strong enough to fight them, they could cause the ruin of ShadowClan. I've warned Snowdance, but she has done nothing with the prophecy I gave her. Cedarstar was mentored by Cliffheart. I know if Cliffheart saw his struggle, he wouldn't be able to stand by. Helping another may renew his faith." Northstar took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "ShadowClan will face troubling times ahead. I still trust Cedarstar with my Clan, but I wish I was there to help guide them through this."

A clan leader having such memories…” “Them we have to risk it. There must be some way to let Cliffheart see exactly who Cedarstar is, or what could happen.” Lilacbreeze urged, unable to stand by when dangers threatened her clan. She was quiet for a moment, before a flicker of realization filled her eyes. “Rustlepaw. Our granddaughter. Cedarstar is mentoring her. Surely Cliffheart will have to realize something is peculiar when he is able to teach a blind cat tactics that one may only know if they themselves had been blind. Or, if they had mentored a blind cat before.” She offered.

"The issues is getting Cliffheart to look up enough to notice." Northstar flicked her ear with a mild frown. "He's so focused on his losses, he's not even seeing his own grandkits grow up." She shook her head to shake away her frustration. "When Cliffheart followed the Dark Forest, he trained with Bloodmoon a few times. I'm sure he could recognize those similarities, but he or someone else in the Clan need to realize it before its too late." Northstar looked up at the stars. "I hoped Snowdance would share the prophecy I gave her with Cedarstar so they may try to understand it together. I'm not sure why she hasn't."

That, and Cedarstar and his brother’s conflict has worn down on her, surely.” Raggedthorn hummed, shaking his head. “Starclan knows that these toms are masterful in their pride and refusal to admit wrongs. But, you’re not wrong. Snowdance should try to consult Cedarstar. Maybe we could try another sign?”

Northstar twitched her whiskers in amusement at the mention of the conflict between Cedarstar and his brother. "And I thought Closesky was stubborn." She took a deep breath in contemplation of Raggedthorn suggestion. "Another sign. Perhaps a couple? And not just to Snowdance? ShadowClan will be stronger if unified against the threats against them. But who? Opalmist is too blinded by her guilt to see any sign clearly."

(Hiya! I’ll cook up some Riverclan cats!)
Rosefrost waded through the gentle star-lit creeks, her voice a soft hum as she paced a bit. The thick tension that hung over all of Starclan was starting to get to her. She bit her lip, knowing that she could hardly feel Orchidnight’s connection to Starclan anymore. The thought of losing her faith made her heart break.
“Hm…” Lionshade mused, trying to think about what could be possible. He flicked an ear. “Maybe Closesky? He may understand a sign from you better than anyone. Or perhaps one of Cliffheart’s kits? Someone close enough to see that something is wrong.”

(Hey Ice! Hey Frozen! For RiverClan I have: Creekpaw, Streampool, Poolfrost, and Fogstorm. They're all related lol. Creekpaw is Streampool's brother (Blackadder's first kill), Streampool is the mother of Poolfrost and Fogstorm. Poolfrost mated Blackadder had Adderstar and Frostlake. Then she mated Lionsomething and had Ottermask and Shimmer. Fogstorm was mate to Stonestar. If you want any of them to meet with Earth, I could think of something)

Northstar softened at the idea of speaking with Closesky. How she missed her old friend. "Smokestorm is more attentive his own mate and Eaglesight dedicates his time to Hiddendream's kits. I'm not sure if Songbreeze is strong enough to help Cliffheart after what she went through. Perhaps a cat connected to both Cliffheart and Cedarstar? Someone like Duskpaw?"

Duskpaw would be good.” “Cardinalblaze could work too. He knows Cedarstar with a unique connection that mentors and apprentices share. That, and Cardinalblaze and Cliffheart were both present for Skyclan when they were needed. I imagine he learned much about Cliffheart during such a serious time together.”

Sounds good, Moon!)
Runningsplash raced along the creek's edge, the tom still having an unusually slim build for a RiverClan cat. He enjoyed feeling the cool breeze in his starry pelt as it calmed him. He paused at the sight of Rosefrost. He never knew the she-cat while he was alive, but he wondered what she was up to. "Hello, Rosefrost," he greeted. "Are you enjoying the creek?"

She took in a breath. “It calms me, when things start to feel all gloomy, and tense. Surely you’re feeling it too, right?” She asked.
