Warriors: Losttail's Prophecy

Ch.5

(Cat above is Brackenwind)

Losttail padded through the forest, the soft light of silverpelt lighting her way. She was making the journey to the moonstone to meet the other medicine cats by herself.

While herb gathering, Berryseed had sprained his paw and was unable to make the trip. She made it to the moonstone and padded inside. Yarrowleaf and Featherwing acknowledged her with flicks of their tails. Brackenwind sat with his head down.

"Losttail, where's Berryseed?" Featherwing asked.

"He sprained his paw while he was herb gathering." Losttail answered.

"I'm sorry to here that." Yarrowleaf mewed. The white tom turned towards Brackenwind. "Where's Shadyhaze?" he asked the younger cat.

"She died a few sunrises ago." Brackenwind meowed, a small tear running down his cheek.

Losttail moved to sit next to him and pressed her muzzle against his shoulder."I'm sorry."

Yarrowleaf came and laid his tail over Brackenwind's back while Featherwing gave his ear a gentle lick.

"I'm so sorry. Shadyhaze was a good medicine cat." She mewed. "We welcome you as WindClan's new medicine cat."

Brackenwind dried the tear on his face. "Thank you."

"Alright." Meowed Yarrowleaf. "Let's get started."

The four cats laid down and touched their noses to the moonstone. Instead of seeing the battle from before, Losttail shuddered as she heard the wails and screams of cats. Losttail! She shivered as someone called her name. The fur on her neck rose as she realized it had been Nighthowl.

The screeching died down and Losttail opened her eyes. She glanced over at Yarrowleaf. He looked calmer than last time. She looked over to Featherwing and Brackenwind. The two cats sat up and they showed no concern in their eyes.

At least they had peaceful dreams.
They said their goodbyes and headed back to their camps.

Losttail padded through the gorse tunnel. She entered the medicine cats' den and found Berryseed curled up on his nest, licking his sprained paw.

"How was the meeting?" He asked when she slipped into the den.

"Good." Losttail meows, curling up in her nest. "Yarrowleaf and Featherwing didn't have any news. Brackenwind said Shadyhaze died a few sunrises ago."

Berryseed closed his eyes for a moment. "She was a good medicine cat. She taught Brackenwind well." He then laid his head down and closed his eyes.

She followed suit and let a wave of sleep wash over her.

Losttail shivered as the chilly Leaf-bare wind blew through the camp. A little ray of sunlight poked through the clouds and was shining down on her, warming her up a bit. She turned her head around. The ray of sunlight shone on her fur giving it a silver glow. A medicine cat coated in this fragile light shall show us the path, making it bright. She let out a sigh and rested her head on her paws. I can't stop the dark forest.

"You look pretty busy. Should I come back later?"

Losttail looked up and saw Nighthowl standing over her. The black tom stretched himself out and laid down beside her. "Are you ok?" He asked.
