Kitten watched her clanmates bustled as the sun blazed its warmth in the clearing. She could hear the words of Fangclaw announcing to strengthen the borders. She rolled her light-blue eyes, and turned away. Unbeknownst to her, she was amused deep inside seeing how the leader is taking such a rumor seriously. How could a cat would do such a thing to another, randomly in fact? Pebble-eye just have bees in her brains.

"But," her voice mumbled. "the apprentice had seen it as well. Could he be lying as well?"

The black-and-white Messenger shook her head and looked at the gray corner of her den. She wondered back to the flashes she watched. Moons ago when LeafClan took all of her clanmates to Boulder, Kitten went away from the empty camp to the Mother-Stone. The Mother-Stone was giving out whispers from the ancestors of DeadClan from its gray, straighten chest. As the she-cat touched it, the ancestors flooded her mind from events of the future along with the prophecy: Claw will lead to peace.

Kitten jolted as Rosepaw came in through the lichen. "Hey!" she meowed. The Messenger smiled, recognizing her first friend who gave her a herb that lets her travel to the Mother-Stone. She remembered the weird conversation with the Assistant, whining how her clanmates were taken away.

"I want to thank you-" Rosepaw's tail brushed against Kitten's mouth.

"No need, Kitten. I thank you, though, for helping me with my anxiety. Without you, who knows where I will be. Probably," she meowed, scrabbling the ground with her front paws. Kitten glimmered and gave a mrrow of amusement. 

The Messenger left the den, beckoning her friend to follow her. "We can enjoy our time together in the forest. I rather not hear Fangclaw from his yowling." 

Rosepaw nodded. "I know we would. I want to take a break from remembering every herb Autumnwind is forcing into my mind!" She waved her paw dramatically and purred. Kitten snorted and set off up to the forest. She bunched her legs and jumped over a lying log. She turned her gaze to the sky, darkened. The moon opposite from its sun, shape of a half-moon. Is time for her and the other medicine cats to go to their sacred spots. She memorized how Ivyscar, a LeafClan medicine cat, told Kitten about the Star-Cave and showed her where it was.
