Galestar
F o r what is it to die, but to stand in the sun...
_____________________________
[Galestar blinked, glancing from both apprentices to Cometstream and back.]
"Of course, Serpentpaw," he said, nodding to her, and then turned to Spadekit and said in a lower voice, "Perhaps you should talk with her. She may get upset if you try to leave."
[Galestar blinked at the apprentice sympathetically. He understood what she wanted. But Cometstream losing her grip on sanity again would not be a good thing.]
Flicking his tail to Serpentpaw, he said, "Why don't we go hunting as a first lesson, Serpentpaw? I can show you how us Clan cats hunt."
[He stood, waiting for her, blue eyes glittering.]

Embergaze
To live is to slowly be born...
_______________________
[Embergaze padded back into camp and saw Mapleleaf dash off somewhere. He hesitated, then ran after her.
A sort of dread came over him.
The bear climbed over the mountain, the bear climbed over the mountain...
Embergaze nearly tripped when the eerie song started playing in his mind again. A strange voice sang it sadly, and whenever he heard it, he was about to see something terrible.
He slowed down when Mapleleaf's scent freshened. He stepped out of a fern and his heart stopped.
Oakpaw lay on the ground next to her dead brother.
Mapleleaf was desperately trying to drag Softkit back.
Both of the siblings had grown. Embergaze remembered when they had disappeared. He had spoken to Galestar, who advised him to wait for them to return. He shuddered.
I should have tracked them down.
Horror and guilt mixed together as he stepped forward.]
"Oh, StarClan, what have I done..." he whispered, his fiery gaze filled with agony. "I let this happen..."
[He trailed off, then ran over to Mapleleaf, his expression going blank.
He grabbed Softkit by the scruff and easily began to carry the half-grown cat back. He dropped the cat though, and padded over to Oakpaw.]
Burying his nose in his apprentice's, and friend's, fur, he murmured, "Oakpaw...forgive me. I have failed as your mentor."
[He stepped back, grief-stricken, and then began to carry Softkit once more back to camp.]

[Serpent grinned with eager anticipation] [When she noticed cometstream had finally woken she quickly looked away. ]

Wavepelt looked at Galestar "so, um, could I come with you? I've really been wanting to get out of camp recently. And I haven't been able to catch a hunting patrol, or any patrol, recently".

_____________________________
[Galestar sensed a sudden wave of horror and guilt from the forest. His ears pricked, and he stared off in the direction that it came from. His eyes glanced over at the eager Serpentpaw and Wavepelt. A worried look crossed his face.]
"Of course," he said calmly to Wavepelt, then, addressing both of them, added, "but...let's stay close to camp."
[He padded away, heading to a nice patch of meadow a few cat-lengths away from camp.]
Nodding to Serpentpaw, he said, "Alright, let's see you catch something, to start off, so I know where you are in your hunting skills."

[Serpent was confused by her mentor's sudden look of dread, but shrugged it off. she was too excited to let anything ruin this moment. She silently slithered through the grass looking for the sent of pray. she spotted a bird and creeped behind it. she picked up a pebble and quietly climbed the tree. she dropped it, startling the bird into flight. she pounced from the tree snatching the bird from the air and bringing it down to the ground with her as she fell.]

We were given Four paws to walk, two eyes to see, two ears to listen...  Saltpaw[Saltpaw padded into camp. It was still fairly late, or early, whatever time it was. It seemed as though the sun was just starting to come up. Which meant they had been out all night. She didn't want to do anything at that very moment. But despite how tired she was she looked around in search of her mentor.
"Jaywing!" [She called, not seeing him at first glance. With a sigh she decided to give up. She would argue that she tried even though she had not. Instead she padded toward the apprentice den and curled up in her nest.] But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find...

We are the swift... We are the strong...  Pepperpaw[Pepperpaw slowly crept into camp, he was closer to Saltpaw now. Ever since they had become apprentices they had grown steadily apart. He wanted to regain the relationship they had once shared. But he feared it was forever lost.]
[Saltpaw had gone into the apprentice den. Pepperpaw wanted to follow but didn't want to confront her so instead he went to lay by the camp entrance. The ground was harder but he would much rather have a sore back then a horrible memory.] We are and always will be... Breezeclan...

Wavepelt looked at Galestar and sighed it looks like something bad might be happening. But what could be wrong, we're in a time of peace. He sighed and started padding away from the group I'll talk with Serpent after I've hunted a few pieces of prey.

_____________________________
[Galestar watched Serpentpaw with interest.]
"That's a ...unique way to catch a bird," he muttered.
"In fact," he said excitedly, eyes lighting up, "it's brilliant! I could practice flying while catching a bird!"
[Completely forgetting that it was Serpentpaw who was supposed to be learning, Galestar quickly climbed up the nearest tree, a pebble in his own mouth. He quietly aimed at a bird. As it flew up, he jumped from the branch, limbs completely outstretched. He looked like one of those flying squirrels!
As he fell down, he slammed into the bird with his belly and hit the ground with an oomf. Standing up, he found the dead body of a crushed bird under him.]
Fluffing his fur out embarrassedly, he said, "Ah...don't think that a flat bird would make a good meal."
[He grinned sheepishly, but his eyes held an innocent look that had been absent since he had been a kit.]

 C O M E T S T R E A MHow long must i stay frozen?♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢
[Cometstream waited until the calico apprentice padded over to her and sat down, expecting another story from her.]
Starclan...i've started to act as an elder...but...as soon as Galestar believes me again, i can be a warrior again... [Cometstream leaned in to whisper to Spadepaw.] "Your sister is plotting something, Spadepaw. She left the camp with a very serious expression...i am worried for you. I want you to protect yourself with knowing Dicepaw's plan, so i ask you to do one thing. Sneak out of camp, don't take pepperpaw with you. They were by the river last time i checked. Stay in the shadows, listen. Don't place a paw out of line, or it's all over. You need to know what is happening with Dicepaw...she may have found Joypaw." [Spadepaw stared up at Cometstream.] "Look, Spadepaw...my mind is healed. Galestar won't beleive it...but please, please, by starclan, go and find Dicepaw. I don't want you to die..." [She looked at the calico, and shuddered.] "You remind me of my mother....but she wasn't as orange." [She looked off.] "You don't have much time...you need to go and save yourself." [And with that, Spadepaw nodded, understanding. She padded off.] Good luck....

[Galestar puffed out his chest pridefully.]
"Well," he said boastfully, "when I was a kit, I was small enough that the breeze actually carried me for a little bit. It was pretty close to flying! But as I got older, I got heavier, and it's proving to be difficult to fly like that."
[Eyes lighting up with curiosity, he tilted his head at Serpentpaw.]
"Godbirds? Do you mean eagles? Large birds...with brown bodies, and white heads?"

[Serpent nodded] "that sounds sorta like them. where Serpent is from they are gold and would eat small goats. Serpent's mother would tell her that if you are good, when your time comes they will carry you to the stars!" ((she is talking about golden eagles))
