Littlepaw hmmphed, pawing at her brother. "I'll be watching you to make sure you don't! Right Papa?" She meowed indignantly, looking hopefully up to Adderstrike.
Blazeshade nuzzled against Lilybreeze, sensing her sadness. He brushed his tail against her flank, in one of his best attempts to soothe her without the use of words.

"That's right my little warrior." Adderstrike rumbled with prideful delight as Heatherpaw scoffed. "I'm the bigger and stronger one. I don't need you patrolling around me!"
Lilybreeze smiled softly at her mate's comfort, pressing close to him.

"Well you do need someone to watch you! StarClan knows you'll end up hurting yourself." Littlepaw retorted, pinning her small ears against her head.
"Come now dear, let's go see if we can find StarClan again." Blazeshade said quietly, nosing her gently.

Lilybreeze lit up at the idea, eyes training on the Ruins. She wanted to see what spirits could be heard today.
Heatherpaw puffed. "Well, I can watch myself. But if it makes you happy, I guess you can tag along." He teased his sister.

Blazeshade beckoned her to follow with a flick of his tail, and padded away.
Littlepaw grinned, puffing up her dark grey fur.

Lilybreeze followed quickly, relieved that her neice and nephew were too preoccupied with eachother to notice them leave.
Heatherpaw crouched, before pouncing on Littlepaw. "C'mon! Let's go practice some battle moves near the tree!"

Blazeshade scanned the tunnel walls, listening intently to see if he could hear anything other than his own heartbeat.
Littlepaw squeaked as she was tackled by her larger brother, batting at him with flurried off-blue paws.

Lilybreeze followed with the same gentle silence, trying to pick up any sign of an ancestor among the approaching rubble and shattered stones.

"What do you think, my love?" Blazeshade questioned, noting the rubble with a twitch of his tabby ears. His tail swished uneasily, and his blue and amber eyes looked all around for any signs of spirits.

"Perhaps there are no..." Lilybreeze cut off as a small giggle sounded from a corner. The darkness made the sound both gentle and creepy. Lilybreeze widened her eyes, before quiet singing sounded.
Her father always spoke of his sister, Whispersong, and how she enjoyed to sing in a quiet voice.

Blazeshade's fur stood on end, bristling up at the giggle they heard. His blue and amber eyes darted about, trying to identify a source. "Lilybreeze..." He placed a tail on his mate's shoulders. "If it's Whispersong..." He continued in a hushed voice, stepping in front of her," she'll say more to us than singing. There's a Dark Forest cat that sings, too. I've seen her. She mimics Whispersong for this reason." He explained urgently, still in a soft voice himself. He wasn't sure if the uneasy feeling in his belly was nerves, or apprehension.

Lilybreeze nodded in understanding. Her aunt, from what she had heard, had been quiet, yet rather social. So she felt a wave of relief when she heard a faint whisper. "Do I...have a visitor?...You, you look like my brother..." A faint warmth passed by her as she looked at Blazeshade.

Blazeshade relaxed as he heard the friendly meows, his fur settling and eyes returning to a normal size. "Whispersong?" The tom asked, still unable to see the she-cat, but he could hear her, smell her, sense her. His eyes strained, and he thought he saw a flicker, but was unsure. He nudged Lilybreeze in gentle encouragement to introduce herself.

"Oh...I'm Lilybreeze. Smokewave was my father.." Lilybreeze introduced.
Whispersong's faint spirit glimmered into vision, as she purred. "Oh wonderful! We knew Smokewave survived, but we just recently saw you and your brothers!..."

Blazeshade flicked an ear, confused. "Only recently? We've been alive for seasons." The silvery tabby tom protested, eyes scanning the area desperately. His tail flicked with curiosity as well as agitation.

Whispersong spoke with her almost silent voice. "Took us...a long time to find a proper access point...but we found one in-" She cut off, giving a slight gasp as another voice started giggling, far more sinister than Whispersong's voice.
Lilybreeze felt cold at that, yet she found all these voices to be farmiliar.

Blazeshade flattened his ears, and once more nosed Lilybreeze behind him. "Forgive me, Whispersong." He addressed the StarClan cat, wary of the cackling he then heard. "If you can... perhaps tell me in my dreaming tonight." He meowed quietly, eyes still darting about in search of the cackles.

Whispersong nodded shakily. "I-I can try...Grandmother's come to investigate you...don't go looking for her..." She whimpered quietly, before fading away.
Lilybreeze felt a violent presence nearby, the laugh sounding so much like Whispersong's that it made her head spin. She pressed close to Blazeshade, as a dark shadow trailed across the far cave wall, with no body to cast the shadow. It giggled. "Hellooooo."

"Oh there! Push again Featherflight! Did you feel that?" Wrenlight asked, keeping calm and perky for the queen, "I think the first one will be here any moment!"

Blazeshade flattened his ears against his head, moving his body to keep himself between the Dark Forest cat and Lilybreeze. He was reluctant to speak to the she-cat, for fear of her trying to wriggle into his dreams, or worse - Lilybreeze's.
Featherflight grunted as she bit down on the stick, once more pushing along with the contraction. She gasped slightly as her first kit entered the world.

"I seeee you. Don't you want to talk to me?" The chilling voice trilled, followed by a younger and scratchier tom's voice. "Oh. These two look sooo frightened!" Snakepaw's cackle sounded.
Lilybreeze whispered to Blazeshade. "W-we should probably go..."

"Lick it! she waved to the one of the spectating cats and set her tail on Featherflight's shoulder. "Good job, I think there is only one more, I'm not sure." Wtrenlight mewed comfortingly

Thistletail was quick to follow the order, moving to lick the kit's fur backwards to warm it up.

Blazeshade nudged Lilybreeze away, determined to leave before things got any worse.
Featherflight strained slightly, breathing deeply. She bit down on the stick, glancing to the side to see her brother warming her first kit. Just one more. She thought, hoping Wrenlight was correct. This was a lot of effort on an old she-cat.

Lilybreeze quickly followed after her mate, fur bristling at the cackling laughter behind her. She coughed. "W-who are those cats? I hate it when they scare the good cats away..."
Thistletail finished grooming the kit, anxious eyes training on his sister once more. He exclaimed. "You're doing great, Featherflight!"

"Dark Forest cats. They're all kinds of bad news." Blazeshade hissed, lashing his tail in anger and annoyance. They had managed to find a connection, but those damn Dark Forest cats had to ruin everything!
Featherflight smiled in gratitude, already quite tired after the birth of her first kit. For her and her kits' sakes, she hoped it would really only be the two kits she was going to have. This is what you get for being stubborn and having kits when you're too old to. The voice in her head nagged at the she-cat as she strained. Maybe StarClan didn't want you to have kits, and that's why you're suffering. It persisted, boring into her mind. No, if they didn't want me to have kits these would be born dead. They are strong, and so am I. Featherflight fought back against the doubt in her head.

"She sounded so much like Whispersong..." Lilybreeze shook her head, before she swallowed. "How are they able to come through stronger than Starclan?"

Blazeshade shook his head. "I'm not sure, though it may have something to do with their basis. I believe that the Dark Forest cats are based here in the Caves, whereas StarClan obviously is in Silverpelt." The tom meowed quietly, flicking his tail.

"Yes. I think it's like that."
"What are you doing down here?" Lilybreeze jumped hearing Pinefoot's cross meow. The tom could be very sharp when cross. She turned to look at the dark furred tom. Technically, it wasn't really approved to come to the ruins. She glanced at Blazeshade.
Pinefoot flicked his tail, having scented the two cats down the tunnel.

"Oh, hello Adderstrike I er- we were trying to see if we could find a spot to better communicate with StarClan. Mysticglow and I can't seem to pick up what they're saying in the den spaces, so I was hoping maybe we could find somewhere we could." Blazeshade explained, blinking his blue and amber eyes calmly.
