Warriors: Losttail's Prophecy

Ch. 1

(Cat above is Lostpaw)

Lostpaw thought she had never seen anything so beautiful.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Her new mentor, Berryseed murmured, emerging from the bushes to stand by her side. "I remember when I first came here. It nearly took my breath away."

"It's so beautiful." Lostpaw agreed, her green eyes roaming over the moonstone.

Berryseed flicked his tail and padded into the ancient stone. Lostpaw followed him, her paws tingling with every step.  The other medicine cats were already there; Yarrowleaf from RiverClan, Shadyhaze and Brackenpaw from WindClan, and Featherwing from ShadowClan.

Berryseed beckoned Lostpaw to come and stand beside him. "Are you ready?" He whispered to her.

Lostpaw nodded and looked at the moonstone nervously. This is it!

Berryseed nodded. "Lostpaw, is it your wish to enter the mysteries of Starclan as a medicine cat? To share the knowledge of StarClan with ThunderClan?"

Lostpaw nodded. "It is." She mewed, nervousness clear in her voice.

Berryseed smiled. "Then come forward."

Lostpaw did so. Berryseed continued, his blue eyes glowing in the moonlight.

"Warriors of starclan, I present you this apprentice. She has chosen the path of a medicine cat. Grant her your wisdom and insight so that she may understand you ways and heal her clan in accordance to your will. Now lay down next to the stone."

Lostpaw lied down and darkness flooded over her.  When she opened them again, she padding through a misty forest. It was night and the moon was high, lighting her way through the forest. It was peaceful and Lostpaw enjoyed the soft breeze that ruffled her gray fur.

After a while, she could see a cat up ahead. She could make out his gray pelt. He was walking and soon a yellow she cat joined him. It wasn't long before Lostpaw realized she had left the forest and was now in a misty moorland. The two cats met at a pool of water.

Lostpaw could see cats all around them. At the foot of the pool sat a black tom, a white tom, and a red brown tom. They were speaking but she couldn't hear what they were discussing. Can they see me? 

After watching the cats for a while, they soon began to disappear. Lostpaw couldn't help but wonder what they were discussing or why she had been taken to them.

Will I meet them? I was shown them for a reasson, or at least I think I was.

Lostpaw sat in the back of the medicine cat den. Firegaze was curled up in one of the nest inside, asleep. The red-furred she cat was Lostpaw's first cat to help. She had fallen into a ditch while on a patrol and had obtained several scratches.

"She had a restless night." Berryseed mewed. "The scratches in her back must be what hurt her the most."

"Do you want me to put more dock leaves on them when she wakes up?" Lostpaw asked. She wanted to be the best medicine cat she could be  and she decided to start by being as helpful as she could be.

"No, I will." Berryseed instructed. "You can go get more dock leaves, poppy seeds, and juniper berries."

Lostpaw nodded and slipped out of the den. She made her way across the clearing and through the gorse tunnel. She made her way around ThunderClan territory gathering the herbs Berryseed requested.
