They've come down the side of the mountains to a valley that slopes down into the lowlands towards the lake. The cave is near the base of the mountain they came down, open to the valley below)

Maplestar looked up at the deputy. She must've missed the announcement. "Rosepath wants to go to the MoonStele, and I guess Frostwhisper wanted to go with her." he replied. "Once they return, Lichenpaw, Sunstone, Eaglestrike, and I are leaving to find Swiftkill. You and Rosepath have charge of the camp and the Clan while I'm gone." he explained

Hollow Moon stepped out of the cave entrance to get some air, noticing the grey she-cat beside her. "Sitting guard?" she asked amusedly. She moved to the other side of the cave entrance and sat guard as well, pondering and lost in her thoughts as she stared down across the valley

"Ok, sounds good," she mewed, watching her clanmates. "Just be careful. Whatever, or whoever, made Swiftkill disappear could be dangerous." As she finished the mouse, she sat up to begin grooming her fur. "That's why I was hesitant to go, though Sunstone berated me for it." Maplestar told his deputy quietly so the tom wouldn't hear. "I would willingly go alone, I'm not sure how I feel about my Clanmates, especially an apprentice, following me into dangerous territory. But we have to go after Swiftkill no matter what if she's in trouble."

"With half our cats racing around the valley I doubt anyone will come near enough to the cave to cause trouble." She said confidently. Hollow Moon thought about it for a while... "She's not as tough as she talks, she'll break down and give in soon. Already after one night she seems less fierce and hateful towards Moon-Hunter."

"Of course it was Sunstone's suggestion." Maplestar whispered. "He wanted to give Lichenpaw more battle training before we left on a long journey without letting the poor apprentice eat first." he chuckled.

"If I were in her place I would claw my captors to death. But she's small and probably not a very good fighter." Hollow Moon said. She was a guide, not meant to be a fighter, but she knew a move or two.

"That's alright by me." Frostwhisper found a soft clump of heather to lay on and curled up, keeping her head and ears perked up alertly. She started thinking about more advice for Maplestar the next time she saw him and they had a chance to speak.

The fluffy silver tabby shook her head. "No, I've eaten already." Hollow Moon laid down, tucking her paws underneath her. "But thanks for the offer."

Hollow Moon heard Sky Wise's voice echoing out the cave entrance, and she turned to head inside. Without taking any prey she approached the group eating. "May I sit?" she asked Sky Wise, giving a glance to Swiftkill. She was obviously very curious about the SteppeClan cat.

The wind over the MoonStele hill grew chillier and stronger. Frostwhisper watched the wind ruffle Rosepath's fur but the medicine cat was deep in her dream with StarClan. The older warrior got to her paws, hesistated with a glance up at the MoonStele, then went to huddle next to Rosepath to keep the medicine cat warm. She settled down against her flank slowly, trying not to wake Rosepath.

Rosepath opened her eyes, expecting to find a realm of cool starlight and mystical darkness. Instead she opened her eyes to find herself face to face with a sheer rock face. She turned to find it surrounded her on all sides, cold grey stone. Above the sun seared her fur and she peered up as best she could, the hole went on for more tail lengths then she could count. The sun enveloped the entirety of the mouth of the hole, she saw no sky alone blinding light.
Blinking to clear the spots from her eyes she circled once more, examining the rock face more carefully. When she realized there was nothing to be found, no pawhold, no other hole, no signs, she sat down. Panic began to constrict her chest. What was this, what did it mean?
”Starclan, please I need guidance!” She meowed towards the sky, hoping where ever she was that she could still be heard, that they would still listen. She ignored the obvious voice that warned this could mean nothing good. Answers, she’d come for answers not more fear and mystery.
Silence reined and Rosepath did her best to quell the rising dread within her, had they been abandoned?
”Please Star-” She began but flattened herself in fear as a thunderous voice boomed from above her.
Look for the secret among the oaks, listen for the wind from the mountains!
Find where the stars shine underground, where earth, water, air and life shall meet.
Where old blood will be spilled and from it new bonds shall spring!
Rosepath was left panting, eyes wide as the final echos of the voice faded. She shook with fear and realized she had her nose pressed to the stone wall of her hole...
No that was wind on her pelt and the warmth of another against her side. She turned to look at Frostwhisper, still panting meowed, “I must speak with Maplestar.”

The panicked look on Rosepath's face as she awoke made Frostwhisper's stomach sink with dread. Oh StarClan not something else! "Let's hurry." She said flatly, "The sooner we get back the more time we might gain to speak with Maplestar before he leaves." the white she-cat walked to the edge of the hill with a glance over her shoulder to make sure the medicine cat followed, and she pelted down the hill straight towards camp.
