Dartsplash rolled her eyes at Galegust, but lightened her grip on her scruff. "Sorry, but we both know I wasn't trying to poison you," she said, her voice low, with a note of hostility. She supported the Queen and got her back to her feet, and they made their way to the Nursery, a resigned look on Dartsplash's face as she padded along.

(Hey Cress! Wanna have Lionstep jump in, since he knows a med-cat?)
Sharpear growled quietly under his breath. He knew it was a bad idea for Darknight to take the only medicine-cat with him, but had left it alone; he trusted his leader, after all. And yet know, it was their leader's mate and kits that were in danger. "Galegust is having her kits more than a quarter moon early," he spoke to the clan cats that were gathered around. "Does anyone know anything about herbs? Or have any clue, any guess how to help in such an early, life-threatening birth?" he questioned. They needed anything that could help...

Bluemoon tilted his head as he led the way towards the stream. "I overheard your plans. Well, maybe not plans, but...wishes...with Sparrowpaw," he admitted.

Bluemoon gave a curt nod. "They do. Yes, they most certainly do." He kept shaking his head, acknowledging that. "But you aren't going to be the one to accomplish that...Have you ever wondered, Winterpaw, why our clan is greater than a loose group of rogues, or a den full of kittypets?" he questioned, walking slowly as they reached the stream-bank.

Lionstep stepped forward, bold and proud like his namesake animal. "Cloverain is at the Middle Camp, and I know her well enough that if I ased her to come, I'm sure she would. While those at the Middle Camp are the enemy, I'm sure we will share a common purpose in helping Galegust," he said. Secretly, he was wondering if this would allow a way for he and Cloverrain to be in the same camp, but he wouldn't ever voice that aloud.

Bluemoon nodded once more. "Partially...But there's something more important than that, Winterpaw. We're a force to be reckoned with because we love one another. We fight together for one another. We love every clanmate, and love our clan more than anything...As much as it hurts me to say," he tried to explain, struggling to find the words, "your mother had the ability to run, from what Petalstorm has told me. But, if she did that, it would put you in danger, as well as more of her clanmates. And she didn't want that. She put you and the clan first...You going after Darknight on your own, with only Sparrowpaw, puts yourself in danger, Sparrowpaw in danger, and the clan in danger. To be a warrior, you must always put the clan and clanmates first," he said simply. He knew it wasn't what she wanted to hear, but what she needed to hear.

Sharpear knew there was no time to consider that; the trip to and from the Middle Camp would take long enough as it was. "You're sure about this?" he questioned the tom.

(Hey Sum. I would say we should go ahead and move forward with the Soulkit plot despite not having Midnight, since we've been waiting so long to get through these plots. We'll just do Soulkit, Pantherpaw, and Aurorastar. And I'm doing a new charrie that is Bluemoon's sister.)

(Oh no worries then How are you?) Bluemoon let out a sigh. "I don't know. I wasn't there. And I'm not your mother. But...your mother was a very smart cat. I didn't understand her reasons for staying with you in the Upper Camp when Darknight took over, but she always had good intentions behind her decisions. And I know she had one in her last moments. One day, you will see her. And one day, Darknight will be taken down, so CrystalClan can survive and thrive once more...But for now, what you need to focus on," he began, stopping, and looking Winterpaw in the eyes, "is focusing on the living cats. There is a reason the spirits only bless certain cats to see those in death, and we trust and know that it is for the best. We relish those around us. I, for one, am very glad you are here. So please, don't go and do something so I end up losing you, Winterpaw."
Crowflower slipped into the so called 'meeting' Aurorastar was having with Soulkit, Pantherpaw, and Spiritvoid, as she had been asked to attend. She sat back quietly, as always, listening. The solid black she-cat's crystal blue eyes were intent on the little kit as she considered everything that was said. Finally, after clearing her throat, she interrupted the leader. "Indigoleaf has always seen things that us others could not. Perhaps she knew, or, well, saw something in Soulkit. Why would she bring him here, though?" she questioned.

Bluemoon nodded. "Of course. Everyone will be included." He stepped back, considering that. "Well, maybe not the kits. That may be an overstatement," he admitted, smiling. "Now let's fish! At least you're used to the stream in the Upper Camp. But, once again, it's still different; the water here isn't quite as cold, after it's journey, and we have some different fish. The water is deeper, and rather than gliding smoothly over rocks as in the mountains, the stream here has cut it's way through the forest, so it is more..." He chose his words carefully, "well, un-clear water."

Sharpear knew there was no time to consider that; the trip to and from the Middle Camp would take long enough as it was. "You're sure about this?" he questioned the tom. Lionstep nodded confidently. Cloverrain would never let a queen go without medical care; he knew it. "I could bring her back. Or perhaps someone with super speed?" The tom looked around but couldn't think of a cat off the top of his head with that power. Dartsplash looked up from helping Galegust. " I have some basic knowledge of herbs but I'm no healer," she meowed gruffly. "I could probably help until Cloverrain got here."

Pantherpaw fell silent for a moment, contemplating the she-cat's words. He looked around at the others. "Perhaps the spirits want us to know something we have yet to figure out," he suggested ominously, a darker meaning behind his words. But he also offered a more positive suggestion. "Or maybe the spirits want to help us somehow. We can't know for sure." He fell silent awkwardly and shuffled his paws. Oh how he hated speaking in front of older cats.

Sharpear bit his tongue; there was no time to snap at Lionstep. He clearly knew Petalstorm was gone. Did he say that on purpose? Or was he just a moron? "Whatever. Go, now," he ordered, before turning to Dartsplash. "Take care of her until then," before stepping away from the outside of the nursery as Galegust crawled in. "Why can't I go to Darknight's den?" she questioned bitterly; it was where she usually stayed.
Bluemoon didn't wait a single second, literally jumping off the edge of the stream-bank and down into the water. "You get in. That's one good thing about the water being somewhat warmer...but still, don't try this in the winter if you're not a water cat," he warned as he surfaced, the water not too deep in this area that he couldn't stand.
Crowflower raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?" she let out, turning to almost glare at Aurorastar. "Why is the apprentice even here?" she demanded, rolling her eyes before turning to Pantherpaw. "Perhaps you're giving the spirits too much credit," she said to him with a chuckling-snort.

Bluemoon chuckled. "Hardly. But the cold doesn't bother me at all, being an ice cat. Soon you'll get full use of your powers and won't feel it at all. But, hey, we have a lot of Lower Camp cats with us now, and we need to try to make them comfortable..." That was Aurorastar's orders. Forgetting the fact that there were many Upper Camp cats that were missing eating arctic hares, eagles, bats and deer fawn. The Middle Camp had yet to organize a deer hunting patrol. But what did they do most often? Fish. He wouldn't distrust Aurorastar's plans, though.

As Lionstep tried to think of a cat with Superspeed, he suddenly realized his blunder, now that Petalstorm had left. He winced and made mental note not to mention her again before nodding and sprinting out of camp. He made his way as fast as he could through the territory between the two camps, breathing as hard as he could and tripping numerous times. Due to his invulnerability, however, he was not injured. As he got closer, he began to yell for her. "Cloverrain? Cloverrain?" he called.
Pantherpaw stiffened, both hurt and irritated by her harsh words. Didn't she know he was one of the best Death cats to be born in a long time and that he had mastered almost all of the abilities adult cats had? He shot her an injured look. "Well maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Would you know exactly, by any chance then, why Indigoleaf brought Soulkit here? I mean, if my opinion is of no value here, then by all means tell us." he meowed cooly, suddenly finding a voice.

Bluemoon responded, "Sometimes we have to suffer...No, I've always moved a lot. I go wherever my sister, Crowflower goes. And she is not too good at staying in one place. I've lived in all of the camps for extended periods of time. I like all the camps," he told her. "Two minnows are coming your way. Stay very still; when they reach you, your reaction must be lightning-fast. Scoop with your paw, and slam a single claw into them at an upwards force," he explained to her.
Crowflower chuckled. "Seriously? I forget, who is your mentor? I need to remind them to teach you manners." Aurorastar rolled her eyes, closing them in frustration. "Crowflower, please. Chill. Pantherpaw, step down. I realize you have good control of your powers, and you are a vital asset to our clan- but, Crowflower has a point...Perhaps we're looking too deeply into this. Maybe, just maybe, Lilykit is just a lost spirit-kit that is trapped here because the spirits are missing. And perhaps she just latched onto Soulkit, being the only kit in the Upper Camp who could see her." She sighed. "Kits feel safer with other kits," she added.

(Spiritvoid is Pantherpaw's mentor right?)
Dustdapple rolled her eyes at Galegust. Even while in extreme pain, somehow the queen managed to be whiny. When she had gone into labor, she had barely been able to speak. "Look, right now the nursery is the best place for you to be and it's too late to move you. Plus, when you have your kits that will be your home. So stop complaining and rest," she said, her tone no-nonsense.
Pantherpaw gave the she-cat a glare. He shrugged, calming down a little at Aurorastar's prodding. "Alright, you have a point. Though recently the spirit world has been feeling a little out of control, so I'm not sure what's going on," the apprentice reported. "Your theory is probable, though there are many possibilities. This is the most unsure I have been about the spirit realm in a long time," he admitted; maybe that's what had him on edge so much.

Galegust groaned as another labor pain came. "They're not going to make it anyways," she growled. "I'm almost a half moon early, and Coppertuft said I'm having at least 4 to six kits. There is now way they can survive this early," she mentioned, eyes a little wide. Here she was, once again, not giving Darknight the kits he needed. So far, her only living kit was Emberpaw, and to her, that wasn't much of a success.
Crowflower said nothing to Pantherpaw. "So what do you want us to do? We can't force a spirit-kit to talk to us. If she only wants to talk to Soulkit, then Soulkit is the one that needs to talk to her," she said simply to Aurorastar.
Bluemoon: "One minnow won't feed the clan, Winterpaw. The less minnows you catch at once, the longer you're in the water. If you hate it so much, prove it; catch more," he enticed her.
