Dewburst
[Dewburst looked around, suddenly feeling left out.
The camp seemed so much fuller.
He was unknowingly kneading his paws on the ground.
It wasn't like him to be so nervous.]
(( rain where did you get your cat pics?
They're adorable! I'd really like some. cx ))

 D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________Dicekit struggled. "Come on, mom! I want to see the world!" she whined. and get out of here so i can talk to my REAL mother. she thought to herself. "if i find a warrior, can i go?" she pleaded. Doveflight's expression was unreadable, and she set dicekit down. "very well, dicekit...ask your siblings if they want to go first." "but mom, i want to go Alone!""not unless your brother and sister don't want to go. I'm going to take a nap. If they want to go, you WILL take them, okay dicekit?" she said, a hint of worry in her tone. Dicekit waited until doveflight closed her eyes and was fast asleep. "I want to go!" her sister mewed. Dicekit snorted, and looked at her brother. "no thanks....dicekit." he said, looking at her with suspicious eyes. Dicekit turned on her sister, holding a tiny claw near her throat. "If you want to stay in one piece, you will NOT come with me. Understand?!" she hissed. Her sister wheeled back, horror on her face. "Dicekit, what's wrong with you?" she asked. i don't know. she thought, turning and stalking out of the nursery, quickly starting to skip. look happy, like a stupid kit with no dead mother hovering over her.

Dewburst
[Dewburst looked around the clearing once again.
He noticed a kit walking around, he wasn't sure if it was allowed out by itself.]
Best to be safe though. he thought.
"Hello there little once. You must be one of the newcomers. Dicekit, isn't it?" he meowed.
[As he looked the kit over he thought it looked a bit.. haunted maybe.
Or just suspicious. Something was definitely up with this kit.]
I shouldn't overlook any detail, something is wrong. he thought, curiously.

SweetMoon was wide awake. She couldnt sleep she watched dicekit and everything that she did. "Dicekit!" she called. hoping the kit would hear. She sighed and looked down at her own kits.

D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________ Dicekit blinked. "Yes! I am dicekit. mom- I mean, doveflight, said i could come outside if a warrior showed me around. WIll you show me around?" she asked eagerly. beside her, her mother's spirit snarled. "Dicekit, when you grow older, you'll rule this clan. I can see it. Foolish tom. He's no reason to be suspicious of his future ruler."

Dewburst
"Why of course!" he purred.
[The kit started chattering on and bouncing away towards the entrance.
He hoped she hadn't seen his expression of surprise.
For just a second, he was sure he'd heard snarling.
He wouldn't forget this, oh no. Of course he wouldn't.]

SweetMoon decided on calling again. *oh the kit probably isnt gonna hear me anyway.* She sighed. SweetMoon got up and stretched for a moment. The kits started mewling imediately after that. "oh im sorry my darlings." SweetMoon sat back down again and curled her tail around her kits.

D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________ "Your name is Dewburst, right?" she asked. "Momma made sure to tell me all about the warriors of this clan. She even said that i can be leader one day!" she said, purring gleefully. mother, i won't miss the target. I will carry out your forgotten legend. she thought to herself. She looked back at Dewburst after they neared the camp entrance. "Dewburst, why does everyone look at me strange?" she asked, even though she already knew the answer.

Dewburst
[Dewburst then padded up to her.
Maybe even a little too close for comfort, but he didn't care.
He scrutinized her face, paying attention to even the littlest detail.]
Well, she didn't seem distressed or scared when she asked me that. She truly is brave. Able to ask questions to which answers need to be heard. She will truly be a formidable warrior one day. he pondered, slightly concerned at the thought.
[Summing up his thoughts, he looked down at her.]
"I think you know." he growled, padding on towards the entrance.

D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________ Dicekit looked down at her paws as she padded forward. "Dewburst, when i become an apprentice, will you be my mentor?" she asked, picking up into a prance. "it shouldn't be too long, and i really like you. You don't immediately call me cursed and brush me off." she mewed, her voice lowering a bit. "even doveflight finds it hard to look at me normally..."
((oh and sumomo, i just looked at google images. |D))

 O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”___________________________Owltalon lay at the edge of the camp, watching others pass by, doing their daily routines and such. It was with something like confusion that he realized that one of the kits had strayed from the nursery. Surely the queens would not approve of this? His eyes flickered suspiciously when he noticed that it was Doveflight's kit, Dicekit, and that she was talking to Dewburst, of all cats. Though he did not know him well, he trusted Dewburst. He knew that the tom was hiding something from his clanmates, but Owltalon would not be the one to force it out of him. It was Dicekit that he was concerned about. Owltalon flexed his claws, which were tucked beneath his chest. His perpetual stare did not leave Dicekit. Starclan had once whispered something about a kit in one of his dreams, but he did not truly and entirely understand what they could've meant. All he did know, though, was that something—or rather, someone—loomed over the kit. The presence was darker than the heart of a fox, Owltalon knew that. But dare he tell Doveflight this? Of course not.
Owltalon twitched his tail tip, his stare unbroken as he watched Dewburst and Dicekit exchange what seemed like a forced conversation.
[[@Sumomo - Devianart! It's so AWESOME. lD You just have to know which artists to follow. ;3
Oh, and iStockphoto! They have VERY clear and interesting pictures! c:

 D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ Duskpaw lay there, in the apprentices den, trying to supress her anxiety. The news have probably already spread throughout the nursery, and who knew how far it would reach?
What if Willowstar found out? Would she consider this breaking the warrior code?!
Duskpaw let out a soft hiss. Surely her leader would not see this as disloyalty? Duskpaw scuffled the dirt in front of her with a slender forepaw as she weighed her options.
Perhaps I should just abandon these stupid dreams altogether? Starclan knows, I might turn out to be a better warrior than medicine cat! After all, Galespirit is my mentor…Then again, he’ll probably want to teach me how to fly rather than fight and hunt…
She snickered softly. That Galespirit would always lift her mood. But now, she was in a rather standoffish mindset. Her stomach growled, reminding her that with all the commotion about the kits, she still had yet to eat anything today. Duskpaw sighed and stood up, then padded out of the apprentices’ den and over to the fresh-kill pile. Her whiskers twitch as she struggled to decide on what to eat. As she reluctantly pulled a vole out of the pile, he overheard a tom speaking to what sounded like a kit.
With the vole clamped in her jaws, she looked around and saw Owltalon curled up at the edge of the clearing staring at someone. She followed the tom’s gaze until she saw Dewburst and Dicekit exchanging awkward, hesitant words. Wait, Dicekit? Duskpaw had to do a double-take as the black-and-white kit pranced behind Dewburst. Doveflight’s litter couldn’t be old enough to leave the nursery without her! A flicker of movement caught her eye, and she turned to see Owltalon beckoning her over with his tail. She obeyed and padded over to him. Owltalon was one of the few cats that’d figured out her desire to become a medicine cat, so she often spoke to the strange warrior. Setting her vole down, Duskpaw noticed that his gaze did not leave Dicekit as he spoke.
“You’ve noticed it as well, haven’t you?”
His voice was eerily baleful, yet simultaneously flat.
“What do you mean?”
“Dicekit.”
“…What about her?”
“She isn’t like the other kits.”
“Well, all kits are unique in their own—”
“Duskpaw, there’s something different about her. Something…sinister. Something wrong.”
Owltalon hissed, his tail twitching in irritation as he watched Dicekit bouncing around Dewburst. Duskpaw gaped for a moment, not knowing whether she should really continue this conversation or not.
“Listen, I’ll keep an eye on her, alright? But I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with her. We’re just paranoid. We can’t judge a cat for the things her parents did or who they were—she’s her own cat…I’ll see you later, Owltalon…”
Duskpaw snatched up her vole and padded across the clearing again, and lied down near the entrance to the apprentices’ den. As she began tearing at the vole, she grasped that Owltalon had echoed her every thought. Duskpaw eyed Dicekit as she struggled to rip a strand of flesh from the vole. Her hackles raised instinctively at the thought of Dicekkit becoming a vicious, fox-hearted, murderous cat.
Surely a kit so young cannot be of any threat to the clan?
[[Ooooh. o___o Big post...I had fun writing it though! : D
Hey, so is Galespirit officially Duskpaw's mentor? o__o;;]]

[[yeah Galespirit should be, anyway. Well your other choice was me, Willowstar...]]
Willowstar had decided to have Wavepelt be mentored by Dewburst. She knew they would both be excited to learn this.
(she'll anounce that later...)

     ❧  ♨[Galespirit padded out of the warrior's den, stretching. His sharp ears betrayed him once more as he overheard the conversation between Duskpaw and Owltalon.
Sighing, he padded up to the two cats.]
"You should be careful when speaking about other cats like that, Owltalon," he said softly, so only the cats he was adressing could hear. [His eyes rested on Dicekit, who was bouncing away.] "She isn't even a moon old, and you're beginning to doubt her."
[He shuffled on his feet.
His powers allowed him to share dreams unwillingly with other cats; what few cats knew was that the spiritworld was a bridge between the dreamworld and reality. The spiritworld held a lack of physical matter that made it as a dreamworld, but there was common sense and rules, making it as the physical reality.
He knew not why, but he could sense the presence of a spirit.
And as he stared at Dicekit, he saw the faint figure of a cat following her.
It was difficult for him to see spirits that wished to remain hidden, so he could not identify the cat. It was also difficult for him to hear it. It seemed that the same rule applied for all his senses- he could sense the spirit, but only at a low level.
He could also sense the traces of the realm of spiritworld the spirit had emerged. He knew of only StarClan and Dark Forest scents. Star Clan was a clean, sharp, beautiful smell, while the Dark Forest had a rich, earthy scent, with a hint of something rotting.
He dared not tell the two cats in front of him this, for what would they think of a kit being followed by a Dark Forest cat?
It would be unfair to hurt the kit by releasing even more suspicion and distrust upon her already twisted past. From what Doveflight had told him, he already had an idea who the spirit was.
As he watched the kit leave, his eyes slowly began to cross together, giving his face a comical look. Galespirit didn't notice it- he was used to it by now- but it must have been a sight for the other two cats beside him!]
((Because Galespirit is part Siamese, his eyes will cross sometimes....D: It's amusing. cx ))

D i c e k i t“Even after my mirror's been shattered, I still see the reflection.”___________________________ Dicekit blinked, and looked back at owltalon, and an icy air passed over her. She hesitated before turning to dewburst, eyes still resting on the tom gazing at her. "I'm sorry dewburst...i just...feel a bit of a slumber coming onto me...yes...i need to get back to the nursery. Maybe next time?" she offered, smiling, before padding off. The mother that hovered above her let out a hiss as she neared the nursery. "those toms can see you for who YOU are, my kit. I hate that. there's one staring at me as well...." her mother let out a snort. "dicekit, promise me something." Dicekit nodded. "When you learn to fight and protect yourself...kill that cat. Galespirit. Kill him." Dicekit's expression turned to utter horror, and she slinked into the nursery. Making sure no queen could see her, she slipped out in a small hole. She stood, pushing a rock back in front of the gap and turned to her mother. "Are you crazy?! i can't kill a cat! And I like Galespirit! He stands up for me!" she whined, looking down at her paws. "He's the only one who does." her mother snarled. "IF PEOPLE SEE THE TRUTH BEHIND YOU, YOU WON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO RUN!" the leader yowled. Dicekit shrank back. "but mother, I-""No 'but mother'! You are the only kin of me left! You agreed that you would live out my legacy!""I NEVER AGREED TO THIS!" she shouted, curling up in a small ball.
((problem solved, buddy. ;3))
