Thunderbolt mumbled, "I just can't believe Aurorastar would let her..." He was surprised. What kind of a mother was she? And what kind of leader was Aurorastar if she allowed it?
Zinniapetal considered that. "Probably. It depends on what Autorastar says. Of course, with only two moons training, you're already the best medicine cat apprentice right now." Which made her proud and disappointed- honestly, Hollowpaw was more than TWO MOONS ahead of training. How could she teach the she cat when she seemed to be teaching herself? "It will probably be for the best, but we will see." Heatherpelt considered whether he thought Wolfpaw should go. Seeing that the tom didn't have much swimming training yet, it was likely best for him to stay in the upper camp.

Warmglow looked toward the nursery, her gaze sad. "We don't know what'll happen yet. Hopefully Aurorastar will stand firm."
Hollowpaw felt her ears get hot at her mentor's praise. She looked down at the water, not being able to help a small smile. "Alright." she said softly. Wolfpaw looked at his sister, feeling jealousy bite at him for a moment before it disappeared and he continued his swimming practice, keeping to the edge of the pool.

Echoheart looked up at the sky, a storm cloud appearing in the horizon of the mountains. She decided to call her apprentices assessment. "We'll have to do this another day," she called to Breezepaw. "We can't risk lightning. Everyone out!" she called to the rest of the cats.

Hollowpaw and Wolfpaw looked toward the horizon before climbing out of the water, both of them shaking their fur out as they tried to splash each other. Inkshade hopped away from the two apprentices as she felt a few drops hit her fur.

Airkit felt the bristling of Emberkit's fur, and to be honest, hers was bristling as well. The she kit's eyes were flickering with fear of what would happen next, and a blankness like she was trying to blot out everything. She turned her head around to look at Emberkit. He didn't seem like he was taking it too well. For some strange reason, she was calmer than she'd thought she'd be. Maybe it was because Galegust wasn't her real mother. "Want to go somewhere else where we can't here them?" Airkit whispered to Emberkit in a quiet, wavering voice.
Flarekit shot up, surprised by the sudden appearance of Oaktree. "NOTHING. NOTHING HAPPENED! NOTHING AT ALL! YEAH!" He squeaked in a panicked manner. He stumbled over himself, face planting the ground.

(Oh. My question was: Do the spirits give the cats their powers or do they choose the power a cat will have?)

(Nah, it's genetics. The clan cats just THINK it's the spirit cats. Kind of like people believe a creator and angels and stuff may cause things to happen. It's just that they believe in fate. And maybe the spirits play some role, but that is yet to be told Hey Snow!!!! Whaz up?? Welllll guys, wanna rp the shark attack now? Since we've got at least three people, and hopefully someone else may show up? ) For the first time in Emberkit's life, he looked to Airkit. She was caring about him, and offering him comfort now, when he needed it most, despite his great distance that he kept from his mother. It still hurt him to think she would actually leave him...
Oaktree chuckled, letting the little kit go on and play his game.

Aurorastar gathered the cats of the upper camp for a meeting early in the night, as the stars were just appearing. From her ledge above her den, she spoke to the clan, in contact with the other clans through use of her powers. "We have tried contacting the spirits today, and have received no response. Therefore, it is clear that the spirits want us to do this on our own, without their help. We trust in the spirits, and have decided to move forward with Darknight's plan. We are to attempt to beach the shark, where we can attack it semi-safely. Something this dangerous, this important calls for cats of all camps to work together. So, I will send quite a few cats from the middle camp to aid in the attack, as well as just a couple from the upper camp. Being such a long journey, it will drain energy from us traveling from the mountains. I will go by means of teleportation tomorrow morning with Violetbreeze. Lightningbolt, you will take Inkshade, Fallensky, Heatherpelt, Brightpaw, Zinniapetal and Hollowpaw to assist. I do not wish to send more cats from our camp. In the middle camp, Flurryheart will take Ravenfall, Blizzardtail, Delphapool, Falconfeather, Cloudwhisker, and Sagepaw. In the lower camp, Darknight, Blossompaw, Saltpaw, Gustpaw, Sharktooth, Raindrop, Riversong, Stormfall, and Flamesoul will all fight. Our plan is to use the best swimmers to lure the shark from the deep and to The Rocks. Flyers will draw it to shore by skimming the water above. Then our attack will begin. This will take place following tomorrow. Tomorrow we all leave to travel to the lower camp in the morning." She hopped down from her place, light on her paws.

So the shark attack is in the Lower camp, right? I'm making food for my mom's b day, so I'll be poofy))
Airkit tried to push Emberkit along with a bit of wind. Starting to think about where to go. "Do you know of any quiet places in here?" She asked him, hoping to keep his attention away from Galegust.

(No worries, Snow Yup! Other cats are going to help, though ) Ravenfall was sitting next to Falconfeather upon Aurorastar's announcement being made through Zincclaw. "Great. We get to play chase with a shark...there's a reason I don't live in the lower camp," she murmured with a groan. She HATED sharks. And the ocean.
Oaktree frowned. Why was Aurorastar sending Delphapool? She was such a young warrior, and her power honestly wasn't that useful for the attack...Plus she would be tired from the journey. He didn't think she was an exceptional swimmer...he was worried for the she-cat, particularly because he wouldn't be there to look after her...why couldn't Aurorasky allow him to go? Was it because he didn't have powers, and therefore wouldn't be as strong in the attack?

Yay))
Falconfeather rolled his eyes, "We all hate sharks, so don't worry," he mewed, "Getting my paws wet doesn't make me too happy either. Besides, I might lose control of my awesome flying skills when I panick," Falconfeather joked.
Delphapool was sitting next to Oaktree, "You okay?" She asked, "You have a creepy look on your face....." The way Oaktree frowned worried her. To be honest, she didn't care too much about sharks anyways. At least as long as no one died, she wouldn't care.

Ravenfall responded, "You won't panic. You'll be fine." But she honestly wasn't so sure..."Guess we should get some sleep before we leave tomorrow." The she-cat stretched, the grass and dirt under her paws was wet from the night dew, and she looked up at the sky; the stars were bright, and the moon full. She considered taking a short flight, but reminded herself that she needed to save her strength.
"Just...worried about everyone going after the shark," Oaktree admitted, but didn't say her specifically. Honestly, though, he was most worried about her. And maybe some of the apprentices...

(Happy Birthday Snow's mom! ^-^)
Flurryheart was sitting on the perch, staring at her paws wide-eyed. A shark? How were they going to manage to fight such a massive, dangerous creature. And two of her kits would be there as well, one of them fighting. Not to mention how much she absolutely hated water. But that wasn't important. "Don't let your doubts show," she thought to herself, "You need to keep everyone's hopes up." She glanced around at the gathered cats. "Alright everyone. You heard the plan for the attack. The journey to the lower camp will drain you a bit and we need all the strength we can muster for this battle, so rest up." She was thankful that her voice came out clear, much clearer than she had expected it to.
Hollowpaw's ears twitched when she heard her name and she looked at her brother with a mixture of fear and excitement in her eyes, that faded however, when she realized that her brother's name had not been called and his form slumped a little. "Hey," she called quietly, "Are you okay..?" "I'm fine," Wolfpaw meowed quickly. "I can't swim anyway so..." he trailed off before perking up a little. "You'll do great." As he said this, he quickly trotted off away from his sister, leaving her to stare after him.
Flamesoul made his way to his nest after the plan was out, his mind occupied. He was worried about Brightpaw. "Don't worry about her, she'll be fine. She's still young, though so am I, but that could be both a good and a bad thing, she's strong, but she's still an apprentice, even though technically she's only two moons away becoming a warrior, but that means that she's only been training for four moons. Four moons isn't enough, I have to tell Aurorastar to keep her out of the fight! Oh, but then she'll hate me more than she probably already does... Why did I have to go all 'I'm a warrior and I know best' on her before? Why did't I tell her that I-" He was snapped out of his thoughts when he stepped on a piece of a broken shell. "Ow!"

Moondust faked a smile when Flurryheart went by. Flurryheart made a great camp-leader. But Moondust's worries were strong...what if her vision was real? What if the evil spirits got involved in the attack, and caused something bad to happen?
Twilightpaw looked up when Wolfpaw padded into the apprentices' den. They were alone in the hollow in the cave floor. "Aurorastar sure thinks highly of your sister..." she murmured after a few moments of silence. She was sitting up in her nest, not particularly tired.

Flurryheart nodded to Moondust, pausing beside her. "I'm sorry you aren't coming with us tomorrow."
Wolfpaw sat on his nest, not looking at Twilightpaw. "Yeah, well, she should. My sister is very talented." Though his words were of praise, the tone they held betrayed his disappointment.

Moondust didn't respond. She wanted to be there only to protect her clanmates. Deep down, she was glad she wasn't there; she didn't swim. She hated it, and was not good at it. But she had a sinking feeling in her stomach.
Twilightpaw shrugged. "Maybe. Or maybe others just don't see your talents," she spoke honestly, curling up in her nest. "They are blinded by her 'amazing' light," she mocked. "Too blind to see the crystals in front of them," she whispered now. The she-cat closed her eyes, as though this conversation was unimportant, and not worth having.

Flurryheart tilted her head when Moondust didn't reply. "Is everything alight?"
Wolfpaw stayed sitting up, thinking about what she had said. He sighed sadly after a few moments before laying down and closing his eyes, falling into a restless sleep.

"Uh-of course!" Moondust responded before rushing away. "Just worried about my clanmates!" she admitted, calling over her shoulder. It was certainly the truth, as well. Just not the full truth.
Twilightpaw opened an eye, watching Wolfpaw.
(Skip to the morning?)
Aurorastar was hustling around camp when cats awoke. She seemed very flustered, having already come back in from being outside of camp. Zinniapetal, having awoken early to prepare herself for the journey, asked the leader what was wrong. "Galegust is gone. She must have run off in the middle of the night," the she-cat growled, cursing under her breath. "I strictly forbid her from leaving until Airkit and Emberkit were made apprentices!"

Flurryheart stared after Moondust for a moment, confused, before padding off to her den.
(Yep)
Hollowpaw was sitting up in her nest, having woken not too long ago. She gave herself a quick wash and padded out of the den just in time to hear about Galegust. Warmglow and Inkshade were sitting together nearby. They turned their heads as they heard what had happened.

Thunderbolt shared a surprised glance with Warmglow. What if he had watched the she-cat? Maybe then she wouldn't have disappeared in the night...
Zinniapetal padded back to her apprentice. "Come. A patrol managed to catch an eagle this morning. All the cats that are traveling are to share it," she explained. "Of course, let's make sure that Airkit and Emberkit get some. Their mother has left them. I think we can look after them better than her, though, don't you think?" she remarked. She was angry; was Galegust going to get away with this? Certainly she was distraught, she had lost three kits in a short time. But she still had two living kits, one of them her blood; she should focus her attention on them rather than her grief.

Warmglow let out a sad sigh, shaking her head. How could a mother do something so irresponsible?
Hollowpaw looked up at her mentor, letting herself show a small smile. She nodded. "Of course we can take care of them."
