Shadowsight was busy organizing the herbs in the herb store, getting rid of all the withered herbs and putting the fresh herbs away. He was removing withered Marigold when he heard someone call his name. He turned around but saw no one. He pocked his head out of the medicine cat den and looked around, but again, he didn't see anyone. All the cats that were in the clearing were eating fresh kill or sharing tongues. Puddleshine was out searching for herbs to stock the store before leaf-bare came. He went back into the den, confused about what he heard. He was sure someone called his name, but he checked, and no one did. He decided to continue to work on the herb store, ignoring the fact he heard his name being called.


It was moonhigh when Shadowsight heard someone call his name again. He put his head up, but went back to sleep, thinking he was hearing things.

Shadowsight felt someone paw his side. He opened his eyes, expecting to see a patient or Puddleshine, but instead he saw a random tom. He jumped away from the tom and realized that he wasn't in the medicine cat den anymore. He was in a wide field with some bushes scattered around them.

"You are you!? Where am I!?" 

"Relax young one. You're in a dream state I brought you to."

"Why did you bring me here!?"

"So we could talk."

"What?...Why would you want to talk? I don't even know who you are."

"Well then. The name's Boltfang."

"............I'm Shadowsight..."

"I know who you are. I've been watching you for a while now."

"You've been.....watching me....why"

"You intrigue me."

"Why....."

"Let's just say that I know how it felt to not be wanted in your clan. To be seen as someone not to trust......Helping a bad cat escape from the camp..."

".........That was a while ago. I was young. I'll never do anything like that ever again."

"But what exactly is keeping you from doing the same thing without you realizing?"

"What..I have my faith and my clan that'll make sure I never do what I did ever again."

"Well, onto something else. I have some cats I want you to meet. Follow me."

"Cats.....How many?"

"Just a few that want to meet you , you'll see lots of cats, but don't worry about them."

".......Alright"

Shadowsight followed Boltfang into the bushes. He then sees a large group of cats in a small ditch. Some are walking around while others are sharing tongues or training. Boltfang leads Shadowsight to a group of cats that are talking to each other.

"Hey guys. Here's Shadowsight, the cat you wanted to meet."

"So this is the young cat that you've been watching, Boltfang" responds a tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat.

"Yep, though he seems a little naive still, Sparkclaw."

So her name's Sparkclaw.

".....Hi."

"Hello Shadowsight. Would you like to be introduced to the rest?"

"Uhhh, sure, I guess."

"Alright then. I'll take him away from you for a little bit Boltfang."

"That's alright with me. I planned to see Sharptail today anyway."

Sparkclaw leads Shadowsight to the rest of the group.

"This is Moontail." she points her muzzle towards a she-cat that looks just like her, just with some grey on her paws.

"Next to her is Larchfoot. They're my kits." she points towards a grey tom with darker speckles.

Shadowsight freezes in place, staring at Larchfoot.

He looks so much like........like Ashfur......but with green eyes......

"Hey, Sparkpelt...." 

"Yeah?"

"Who's their father....."

"............Just some tom who left us a while ago. Why?"

"Just asking. Larchfoot just looks like someone I knew a while back." why did Sparkclaw hesitate? Does she not like talking about her mate, or is it something else.........
