When Moonpaw arrived back at camp, he went straight to Treepool's den. Even though the day had been busy, He hadn't forgotten about his visions in the forest.
Moonpaw walked into the medicine den, expecting to see Treepool, but instead Lilacpaw was there. The silver apprentice was sorting through herbs. She looked up from her work, and he looked into her beautiful purple eyes. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but Moonpaw had a bit of a crush on her.
"Hi, Moonpaw. Are you looking for Treepool? She just went to the dirtplace. She'll be back soon. Did you hear that Lightpaw has a crush on Juniperpaw? If I wasn't a medicine cat, I probably would too. He IS quite HANDSOME, and so brave!" Lilacpaw said. Yet again, Moonpaw was reminded of the fact that he could never be with Lilacpaw. A pang of regret pierced his heart.
"And haven't you noticed? Featherpaw TOTALLY likes you! She's always staring at you!" Lilacpaw giggled as she chatted on. Moonpaw felt himself grow hot. He knew Lilacpaw was one of Featherpaw's best friends. This was definitely not normal Clan-gossip.
"Featherpaw's just a FRIEND Lilacpaw." Moonpaw protested.
"If you say so Moonpaw," Lilacpaw gave him a knowing look, and just then, Treepool rushed into the den, looking oit of breath.
"Moonpaw...!" she gasped, "Have you had any... visions since we last spoke?"
"Yes, actually. I felt a gust of wind, and saw lots of lithe cats, all running SO FAST..."
"And what else?" Treepool asked anxiously.
"Well, then I was standing in a river, and there were cats swimming in it. And after a while, I heard a loud clap of thunder, and felt brambles prickling my pads, and I smelt a strong scent of squirrel. There was a cat stalking a mouse through the undergrowth, and-"
"OKAY, WHAT IN THE NAME OF STARCLAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Lilacpaw exclaimed.
"I'll explain later Lilacpaw," Treepool told her. "And... did you see anything else?" she said, this time to Moonpaw.
"Yes, the oaks turned to pines, and I sensed cats in the shadows..."
"I UNDERSTAND NOW! THANK YOU STARCLAN!" Treepool yowled to the sky. She turned to Moonpaw. "The prophecy speaks of moonlight finding shadow. I saw shadows, along with water, wind and thunder, in my dream, and so did you. StarClan was showing us the four warrior Clans living in the forest." Moonpaw remembered the other Clans from a story. "ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. And since I saw blood it means that all of them, especially ShadowClan needs your help. And Cloudstar told you that the moon will always find the darkeness, no matter how far. I know what you must do, Moonpaw. You must journey to the Clans, and save them from this trouble." Treepool finished triumphantly. But then she looked confused again. "But, the second part...about the feather, the tiger and the blizzard...what does THAT mean?"
Suddenly Moonpaw pictured Featherpaw, stalking with paws light as feathers. And Tigerpaw, leaping from tree to tree. He shared the same skill of tree-climbing as Moonpaw. Then, Moonpaw saw Blizzardpaw, running ahead of an entire patrol.
Then Moonpaw understood.
"Treepool... Cloudstar spoke of a Feather, a Tiger and a Blizzard..."Moonpaw waited for her to figure it out.
Treepool's eyes shone with new understanding.
"You shall not journey alone Moonpaw, for Featherpaw, Tigerpaw and Blizzardpaw will accompany you."

SonstigesOkay, this is my first story, so don't judge. It's also probably retarded. It's about a cat from SkyClan who has to go on a dangerous journey. If you have any helpful comments, please put them down! Enjoy! :-)
