Flamesoul frowned. "It's against the rules because it's dangerous," he reminded her seriously, his eyes no longer shining playfully as they had before. "You could be killed."
The fur along Wolfpaw's spine was beginning to bristle, but before he could do anything, Hollowpaw nipped at his shoulder, effectively pulling his attention away from the ill-mannered she-cat. She had noticed Zinniapetal's gaze and didn't want her brother to get into trouble.
Coalflare stood beside Moondust and waved a paw in front of her clouded eyes. "Have you tried moving her?" she asked Ravenfall.

"Whatever, I'll go with Blossompaw then!" the Brightpaw groaned, padding off away from the older tom. She was angry and hurt, mostly because she also knew it was stupid, but didn't care; Jadepaw's death had put life in perspective for the apprentice. She may not even make it through her two more moons of apprenticeship, especially in the cold and dangerous mountains. She just wanted to enjoy every minute she had...
Rowanpaw led his new friends to the front of the group, where he demonstrated how the apprentices would help raise a fawn onto the backs of two warriors, to be carried back to camp. "Just don't look directly at the snow patches on a sunny day. It gets too bright. And always watch for rocks. I twisted my paw just a few days ago, even being born in the mountains, it's still tricky," he explained, rambling on, nervous after his encounter with his sister. That much was clear. As the group began to travel, Twilightpaw locked eyes with Wolfpaw. Her demeanor had changed from mean, rude and cruel, to inquisitive and in thought.
"No..." Ravenfall admitted. "I wasn't sure if that was safe. Moondust is the only psychic cat I've ever really dealt with personally," she explained. "Sometimes, they are...strange," she let out, feeling guilty from it, though it was often true.

Flamesoul stared after Brightpaw, feeling his heart sink. He hadn't meant to upset her. He was just worried about her. He stood still for a moment before running after her. "Wait! I'll go with you."
Wolfpaw gave Twilightpaw a glare as their eyes locked, then padded off with Rowanpaw and Hollowpaw. He watched Rowanpaw as he explained and demonstrated the process of carrying back larger prey, taking in as much as he could. Hollowpaw watched as well, her ears perked in interest and maybe slight amazement at how these warriors were able to catch something so big and carry it back to the camp.
Coalflare thought, trying to resurface any information she had on psychic cats. "They are strange," she murmured, confirming her thoughts were the same as Ravenfall's. "To be honest, I don't know if it's safe to move them either, but if this is the first time you haven't been able to pull one out of a vision, I'm at as much at a loss as you are." Coalflare looked down, then back up as she got an idea. "Death. Cats with the power of death. They can speak to spirits. Maybe Spiritvoid or Rosefoot can figure out what's happening."

(Hope your neck doesn't get too painful. Glad it's bearable, at least. Just out of curiousity, but do kits inherit their powers from the parents, or are they just more likely to gain a power, or is it random?)
Breezepaw flicked her ear, putting on the look of nonchalance. Nevertheless, she stopped moving the sand and actually seemed to be studying the pool. She did like being able to "control" other elements with wind; air was everywhere, and so she could use it whenever she could. Of course, there was no way she was showing Echoheart that. The brown tabby huffed, but she started to make the wind circle around in the middle of the pool. Unfortunately, she started too hard, and the wind whipped the water all over the place, in no particular direction at all. "Ugh!" she tried again, and when she got to actually parting the water in half, she pushed the wind too hard and she lost her focus as the water splashed in random directions.

(Good question! It's sort of in between; there's some sort of genetic component to it, and a lot of times family groups may have some powers that they are more likely to have. Take, for instance, Darknight's family. Everyone in his family tends to have powers such as Ice, Darkness, Death, and Earth, because they tend to take mates with these same sort of powers. Every now and then, you get a kit like Emberkit that has a different power, such as Fire. So it shows that the other powers may be recessive, whereas others are dominate and more likely to be expressed. In the gene pool, ALL powers are in their potential genetics. It's just that most are unlikely to be expressed. If you have more open cats that take mates with drastically different powers then you have a shot at anything So short answer is they tend to follow patterns but there's a chance to have a random power in there every now and then ) Echoheart clicked her tongue. "Well, you certainly have enough power. Still need even more focus. Have you not been doing the exercises that I showed you?" she nagged her apprentice. "I told you, to focus your powers you have to do them. You only have one moon left to get better with your powers, Breezepaw. You won't always have a mentor around to guide you, and the clan will be relying on you," she told her. She was being rather blunt, but she needed the she-cat to understand.
Brightpaw was already walking away, angry at the tom. Its stupid to have feelings for him anyways. He's a warrior, and I'm still an apprentice! My parents wouldn't approve... She ignored the tom, going off on her own.
Ravenfall nodded. "Yeah, Spiritvoid. That's smart," she replied.
Upon arriving back at the upper camp, it was clear Rowanpaw had already taken an inkling to the two new apprentices. He could tell Hollowpaw was not yet adjusted to the dark camp, and knew it may take her awhile. But he was so excited to show her the apprentices' den, until he remembered she was a medicine-cat. Twilightpaw meanwhile stayed clear of the new cats, though she liked Zinniapetal (the medicine cat had been there when she and Rowanpaw were born, she remembered.) Rowanpaw sat with the young cats in the center of camp as they waited for Aurorastar to make her announcement. "What do you think so far?" he wondered, referring to the upper camp, the mountains, and the cats here.

(Hello ^-^)
Flamesoul slowed to a stop when Brightpaw didn't look back. He let his head hang, sighing deeply. "Great going idiot..." he muttered to himself.
Coalflare looked around. "Do you think you can find him? He left on a border patrol with Zincclaw around the same time we did. He shouldn't be too far."
Wolfpaw had looked around the camp when they arrived, wide-eyed. He walked slowly, taking everything in before sitting beside Rowanpaw. "It's amazing. It's so different from the forest camp." Hollowpaw glanced around the camp when they entered the cave, her ears perked as she pressed close to her brother so he could help guide her. She gave a small nod when Wolfpaw spoke, murmuring that she thought the same even after having visited it before.

Ravenfall nodded, taking off, her wings spreading out, and beating hard to lift her. She slowed when she was above the treetops, gazing around. She finally spotted the two tons, together marking the far border. "Spiritvoid!" she called from the air, diving down towards them, her wing tips brushing the leaves on the trees as she found a spot to land.
"I can't wait to meet more cats from the other camps," Rowanpaw began. "I've only met a few that have traveled here, and of course when Echoheart camp with Breezepaw. I love meeting everyone new. There's some pretty awesome cats here too, though. Lightningbolt and Thunderbolt. And Inkshade is really cool. Oh, and Warmglow is the best! And it's nice to play with Airkit, too, though she has seemed really sad lately over her litter mates being lost. So I try to spend any extra time I have with her, but Indigoleaf, one of the elders, keeps us so busy I've got hardly any time at all!" he murmured.

Spiritvoid looked up at the sound of his name being called. Spotting Ravenfall, he exchanged a glance with Zincclaw before padding over to the winged she-cat.
Wolfpaw chuckled lightly. "Well it sounds like we're gonna have our work cut out for us." Hollowpaw listened quietly to Rowanpaw's rambling, feeling better. She was also feeling a bit more comfortable than she had when she was just visiting. Her ear twitched as she heard of the kits. "Oh, that's right. I was here the day the kits disappeared but I never really got solid news on what happened after," she said, tilting her head.

"I think something's wrong with Moondust. Coalflare thought maybe you might be able to help," Ravenfall began, then quickly explained the condition she was in.
A voice sounded behind the group of apprentices. Rowanpaw rolled his eyes upon seeing Twilightpaw. "Yeah, quite a coincidence that they disappeared when you showed up for the first time," the nasty she-cat mentioned in a smooth, yet menacing tone.

Post by ❤~Midnight~❤ on Oct 14, 2016 17:09:36 GMT -5
Spiritvoid listened intently before nodding. "I can try. Maybe if I can make contact with the spirits I can ask them what's happening." He looked back at Zincclaw, looking for permission to leave.
Wolfpaw glanced back at Twilightpaw, over at his sister, then back up to where Aurorastar would announce their arrival from. Hollowpaw laid her ears back. "If you're saying me and Zinniapetal had something to do with their disappearance, then you are badly mistaken. After all, I'm "half-blind", remember?" Hollowpaw's upper lip was twitching as she held back a snarl. She was beginning to lose patience with this cat and it was likely just a matter of time before she pounced on her. She had never fought before, but she had teeth and claws just like those who did fight.

"Whatever," Zincclaw murmured. "Not like any kitty pets are gonna attack our border." The clan hadn't had any rogues come near in years and years...
"I didn't say anything about Zinniapetal," Twilightpaw remarked with a smirk. "Just you. Hey, I'm just saying. Everyone tells me all the time, 'coincidences don't happen. The spirits didn't give you powers for a reason.' I just find it interesting that you show up and two of the most promising kits disappear." The cat shrugged, padding off closer to the front of the group to listen to Aurorastar. Rowanpaw growled after his sister. "Ignore her. She's just jealous and bitter. She takes it out on everyone," he explained. With a sigh, he asked Wolfpaw, "So what power do you have?" he wondered.

Spiritvoid puffed air out of his nose in a short laugh, then nodded to Ravenfall. "Lead the way."
Hollowpaw glared after Twilightpaw, her claws scraping against the floor of the cave. After a moment she sighed, then took a breath to calm herself before looking up at Aurorastar, one ear turned to continue listening to Rowanpaw and Wolfpaw in case they said anything interesting. Wolfpaw perked his ears up at the question. "Enhanced senses. You?" he returned the question.

"Telekinesis." Rowanpaw lifted a tiny pebble off the cave floor nearby, the carries it over using his power; he simply thought about it moving, and reaches out with his mind...if he focused on the object, he could do just about anything...with time, practice, and experience, that was. "The others say Twilightpaw hates me because of my power," he mentioned, looking to the pebble.
Ravenfall quickly lead the way back to Moondust, and waited for him to do whatever he could to try and bring her out of it.

Post by ❤~Midnight~❤ on Oct 14, 2016 20:36:13 GMT -5
Wolfpaw watched the pebble, smiling. He tilted his head at Rowanpaw. "I can understand why she would be upset, even jealous, but it does't make sense that she would hate you. A cat up in the middle camp has no powers and he can hunt just as well as any other cat. If anything, I'd say he tries the hardest out of most cats because he doesn't have a power to make things easier for him. She shouldn't hate anyone, especially you."
Coalflare looked up as Ravenfall returned with Spiritvoid and watched as he approached Moondust. "Can you help her?" "I don't know, but I will try." Spiritvoid studied Moondust for a moment before closing his eyes and focusing. He was trying to make contact with a spirit.

(Thanks, but I'm fine guys I can deal with it. Going to try to be on more ) Emberkit followed Airkit, curious over her strange behavior. "What are you doing?" the little tom asked her, looking at the feathers flying around the nursery. Oaktree rolled his eyes again. Such a strange she-cat..."Come on, let's go see what prey we can find in the meadow," he mewed. ""Anyways," Brightpaw began, "Let's go swim in the ocean while I've still got the chance. I want to remember what this place is like while I'm in the mountains!" she exclaimed. Besides, she wasn't scared of som setups shark! Twilightpaw overheard Hollowpaw and Rowanpaw's conversation. "That's not their mother," she spat, remembering her mother talking about the cats before. "Flurryheart just took the crippled and half-blind kits in when their real mother abandoned them," she chuckled, low enough that the adults wouldn't hear them talking. She looked back over at Wolfpaw. "I mean, what kind of warrior could he possibly make, Rowanpaw? Probably as bad of one as you. And Hollowpaw? She's clearly not meant to be a medicine-cat. Too bad she and Wolfpaw can't switch places," the she-cat mocked. Ravenfall padded over to Coalflare. "Somethings wrong with Moondust. She's having a vision, but I can't pull her out of it. I think something's wrong." She hoped she was wrong, but... Airkit's ears perked up upon hearing Emberkit's question, "Stuff. And if I say stuff, then it's stuff. No buts," the kit squeaked as she spit out a feather. "Now help me put these here!" "Okay," Delphapool stared at Oaktree for a few seconds before looking away, "Let's go!" She began to run off, but slipped on some leaves, catching her balance a few quick moments later. Then she dashed off again, screeching words to the tom like a mad cat, "WHY AM I ALMOST ALWAYS THE ONE WHO TAKES OFF FIRST!!!"

(XD Delphapool is weird) The spirit that responded to Spiritvoid's summoning was a very ancient spirit, not a cat that any living cats would recognize. And it was not friendly. Nearly faded, not pulled completely through to this realm, it screeched at the tom, "GO AWAY!" before fizzling out, gone again. It was then that Moondust gasped, brought back to the cats surrounding her. The she-cat's eyes were wide, and she didn't focus on anyone in particular, staring past them, her fur raised up in fear. "The spirits...our ancestors," she mumbled. "There was...a battle," she was whispering now. "And the good cats, the ones we depend on...they lost." She turned to her clanmates now. "The dark spirits have taken over."(DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay the plot is finally out, and our major omen has come to fruition! NOW we can have some fun! Oh, and TIME SKIP 1/4 Moon!!!!!!!!!) Following Moondust's vision and outburst to her friends what she had seen, she had begged them not to say anything out of fear of being wrong. She didn't even know that there actually were bad spirits...She hadn't encountered any her whole life, and that certainly wasn't part of training. It made sense; there had always been evil cats in and outside of the clan. What happened to them upon death? Surely the good spirits took care of them, made sure they were out of the way...But apparently, whatever they had done with them wasn't good enough, because they had come together to take over the spirit realm and force the good spirits out...Maybe. If Moondust wasn't just crazy and her vision was actually real. Which she doubted, the very reason she had asked Ravenfall, Coalflare, and Spiritvoid not to tell anyone, particularly not any of the camp leaders, and certainly not Aurorastar. But it seemed like it may be only a matter of time before one of the cats said something to at least Flurryheart, especially Ravenfall, with her knowledge of the omen about reviving cats, and the disappearance of Foxface.
In the lower camp, Brightpaw was gone; she and her mentor were now in the upper camp, a place she hated. But they were better off in the mountains, because down at the beach, the cats were beginning to go hungry. The shark was constantly following the cats anywhere they may go in the ocean; it followed them to shore, it's fin popping up in the waves; it surrounded the coral reef, leaving the cats unable to dive. It had even gone up the STREAM to make fishing impossible...the good news was that it had yet to go far enough upstream to reach the middle camp. But enough was enough. The lower camp cats had to do something if they were to find enough prey to feed hungry kits! Darknight was calling a meeting later in the morning in order to talk about their options, but in the meantime, cats were hunting along the cliffwalls, hoping to find enough eggs, chicks, and maybe a few birds they could use. The frogs and lizards of the marsh were of little help. And while they still had the tidal pools and the crabs on the beach, they had to resort to going deeper into the forest, hunting not far from the middle camp just to get enough to make sure they didn't starve. But bellies were going hungry.
In the upper camp, Brightpaw was miserable, but she did like some of the apprentices here; she got along with Breezepaw quite well, and had taken a liking to Twilightpaw. But Twilightpaw did not show her true nature to her, so she had no clue. Twilightpaw had left her brother, Rowanpaw, as well as Wolfpaw and Hollowpaw alone completely. Yet, she was watching Wolfpaw. He was brave to do what all he did, despite his disability. He was strong, and resilient, as well as persistent. She kept an eye on Hollowpaw, as well, learning quickly how well liked the she-cat was. She was promising to become on of the strongest medicine-cats, and Aurorastar seemed to paw close attention to the apprentice, realizing how important she would be to the clan. Twilightpaw did NOT like that. She wanted to be important, too...

Zinniapetal felt back at home in the upper camp; her and Hollowpaw had taken up empty nests near the front of the den; the herb stores were in the back, against the cave wall, in cracks and crevices, and one side of the roomy den was dedicated to sick or injured cats, and the other had the nests of the medicine-cats. This was much more social here, with all the nests together, so the medicine-cats were sleeping with one another. Zinniapetal much preferred it here. She had already taken Hollowpaw out a few times, first as a tour of the mountain, valley, and pine forest territory that they tended to occupy, and then to show her where to find herbs. She had been proud to show her the Clear Pool, finding it mystical and absolutely astounding, and hoping that her apprentice had thought the same. Now, it felt like they had been here forever already, and yet it couldn't be long enough for Zinniapetal!

Lightningbolt and Echoheart, along with Inkshade had Twilightpaw, Rowanpaw, Breezepaw, Brightpaw, and Wolfpaw at the Clear Pool. Zinniapetal had allowed Hollowpaw to tag along for her first visit at the Clear Pool, to swim. Today, Echoheart would be giving Breezepaw her final task that she had to complete before she would have her warrior assessments, to determine if she had been fully trained and was ready to be made a warrior. The others were there for swimming and fishing, as well as other lessons, along to watch Breezepaw complete her assignment.

Darknight had called the cats of the lower camp together for a meeting. Cats were distraught, for good reason. "It's time that we take care of this shark. It's killed a cat already, and is keeping us away from the water. We don't have a choice any longer. We must attack and kill the shark so that we may find sufficient prey." He was announcing the plan to the camp from the perch on the cliffwall up above. "I think the best bet we have is to lure it close to shore, enough that we may be able to beach it."

(This looks like it's gonna be awesome. Scratch that. It's already awesome.)
Spiritvoid had kept his word and not spoken of what happened with the spirit, though his fur bristled every time he thought of the spirit he had made contact with. He did not agree with keeping it from Aurorastar. He understood Moondust's fears, but felt they were irrational.
Hollowpaw was coming to like the Upper camp despite her dislike of one particular cat. She was slowly becoming accustomed to where everything was, beginning to be able to find her way around the camp. She was gradually becoming accustomed to the thin air, though she still couldn't travel too far without getting tired, and the environment itself still resulted in her falling over objects all the time, leaving her with an assortment of bruises and scrapes every time she left the den. She found Brightpaw to be interesting when tortoiseshell apprentice first arrived, but lost interest when she noticed the she-cat had taken a liking to Twilightpaw. Though the camp was more sociable, Hollowpaw mainly kept to herself, interacting with her mentor, her brother, and Rowanpaw. She would speak to other cats only if they began the conversation. Now she stood at the edge of the Clear Pool by her mentor, thinking to herself that it was just as beautiful as the first time she had seen it. She dipped a paw into the water, pulling it back right away and shaking the droplets off. Wolfpaw spent most of his time with Rowanpaw, staying away from Twilightpaw to the best of his ability. He didn't particularly like the upper camp, but he thought it was alright. It was harder for him to get around with his limp, but did the best he could. Currently, he was staring at the water like it was a rotting piece of prey. "You don't actually expect me to go in there." It was more of a statement than a question. Inkshade sat silently, her head tilted as she looked at Wolfpaw.
Flamesoul spent much of his free time moping now that Brightpaw was gone, but he made sure his moping wasn't so much of a distraction that it interfered with his warrior duties. He spent a lot of time out in the forest on his own, trying to catch as much prey as he could. He figured if he was by himself, he could hunt a lot closer to the Middle camp without getting into trouble. Now he was sitting around the perch with the rest of the cats, listening to Darknight's plan for beaching the shark.

Flarekit plopped onto the ground right outside of the nursery, his fur still glowing nonstop. He was just playing around with Delphapool earlier, but then she went of for some reason. The young tom liked how there were cats like him in the clan, who's abilities weren't really that great. This way, he wasn't alone. Today, he stumbled across a moth, and attempted to bind it with light. It didn't work out too well. He ended up blinding himself instead for a few hours. He stared at his paws. It seemed that whenever he used his power, his fur glowed just a bit brighter. How annoying.
Airkit was sitting in a corner of the cave, trying to use her wind powers to flick rock as far as she could. She really wanted to go to the Middle Camp. It seemed the there was supposed to have "trees" and "dirt" and "grass". If Cave kit and Hailkit didn't disappear, then she'd probably have already snuck out with them to find the Middle Camp.

(XD. Hi guys)
The water at the Clear Pool was crystal clear, and a few fish were swimming around. The rock was dark and the pool was somewhat deep, probably fifteen tail lengths or so, maybe deeper in the center. Brightpaw mewed, "Oh, it's not THAT bad! The water is great. I mean, it is a lot colder than the ocean, but still," she responded to Wolfpaw, having already jumped in, and was swimming happily now. "Yeah. Even your sister is getting in," Twilightpaw mocked from Brightpaw's side, though she was clearly struggling in the water a tiny bit. "Are you not as good as your sister, Wolfypaw?" the she-cat cooed with a smirk. Brightpaw looked at Twilightpaw for a second, surprised by her nasty attitude. Why did she have to be so mean? But the she-cat was too excited to think about it; she loved swimming, from her time at the Lower Camp that she loved so much. "At least you don't have to jump in from there," she mentioned to the group, motioning up above them, just on the other side of the pool; the top of the waterfall was more than twenty tail lengths up, and though a flat surface, the rocks were slippery and wet, and the waterfall was strong and the water was gushing. She looked over to Breezepaw, the cat who had to prove herself today and jump down from there into the Clear Pool.
Oaktree padded up to Flarekit in the middle camp, the kit sitting outside of the nursery in the grass, noticing his odd behavior today. "What did you do, little one?" he asked curiously, recognizing mischief in the kit.
In the Upper campsite, there was a lot of drama. Emberkit, frightened, stepped closer to Airkit than he usually got; his fur bristled, and touched his adopted sister's. Galegust was yelling, and it wasn't until the cat came out of the leader's den that it was clear what for. The queen was fighting with Aurorastar. "Make them apprentices early then," she spat at her own leader. "I don't care! I'm not staying here anymore! I'm going to the lower camp to be with Darknight!" Aurorastar had an angry, and honestly, flustered look on her face. She had never dealt with a request like this. Queens didn't move camps until their kits were made apprentices. It was too hard physically, and emotionally for kits to move, and was banned. Yet, Galegust wasn't requesting to take Airkit and Emberkit with her. She was requesting to leave them in the upper camp, and move without them.

(I got so distracted o.o)
Wolfpaw scrunched up his nose as Twilightpaw mocked him. "Well maybe my sister is better than me, but from what I can see, Brightpaw is way better than you." As he said this, he slapped at the water with his paw, splashing Twilightpaw with a few drops in an attempt to worsen her struggle, but before he could even finish taking a breath to laugh, he felt pressure on his haunches as he was pushed into the Clear Pool face-first by Inkshade, leaving the laughing to Hollowpaw.

Lightningbolt chuckled. "Good call," he said to Inkshade. Wolfpaw was in the pool now at least! "Okay, you too, Hollowpaw. Even medicine cats need to swim!" he hollered. Twilightpaw rolled her eyes, about to respond but was cut off by Brightpaw. "I just am a great swimmer. After swimming in the ocean you have to be! Especially when racing away from sharks," she remarked, trying to change the subject and keep everyone nice and happy.

Wolfpaw spluttered as he surfaced, clinging to the edge of the pool like it was a matter of life or death, but his back paws were kicking instinctively and he quickly calmed down enough to push himself away from the edge a little, but only a little. Hollowpaw promptly stopped laughing. She took a few tentative steps toward the water, looking into it before dipping in one paw and pulling it back out, then her other paw. She then studied the water for a few more moments, but before she could make any effort to get in, her brother scrambled up out of the pool and wrapped his front legs around her. "You're taking too LONG." A small squeak was heard as Wolfpaw let himself fall backwards into the pool, pulling her with him.

Rowanpaw giggled. "See? It's not so bad is it?" he said to his friends. Lightningbolt was stepping into the water, chin deep as he swam over. "We're lucky to have somewhere to swim. The lower camp is being antagonized by a shark right now. We may need a few cats to go help them," he mentioned to the group. Echoheart said from the side, not enjoying swimming much, "I don't think I'd be any help," she offered up, looking to the cats in the water, wondering who would be good choices to send to help.

Wolfpaw was attempting to swim, slapping at the water with his front paws as he tried to stay afloat. "S-sure, it isn't that bad-" he spluttered as some water went into his mouth, "but I really wish Flurryheart had mentioned swimming when she told us about the Upper camp." Hollowpaw was taking a slower approach, keeping one paw on the rocks as she practiced her kicking. She giggled at her brother's terrible attempt at swimming, though her eyes shone with worry. "You mousebrain, you're gonna drown."

Brightpaw immediately spoke up. "I'm going to help! The lower camp is my home!" Lightningbolt nodded. "I'm sure Aurorastar will let you." Rowanpaw blurted out, "Me too! I want to do whatever I can to protect my clan!" Echoheart interrupted, "I don't think so. You've only been an apprentice for a moon. You've still got a lot to learn. And only the best swimmers should be apart of the attack. The ocean is much harder to swim in, with the waves and all," she murmured.
Thunderbolt padded next to Warmglow inside the upper campsite. "Should we do something? Can we stop her?" he wondered, referring to Galegust.

Wolfpaw managed to swim to the edge of the pool. He spit some water out, looking tired. "I wish I could help..." he muttered. Hollowpaw looked up at Zinniapetal. "Will we be doing anything to help?" She had a hopeful expression on her face.
Warmglow was watching Aurorastar and Galegust. "I don't know..." she said, "I've never heard of a queen making a request like this. If she's making it, I don't know that we can do anything to stop her."
