[closed] A Shoulder To Lean On

Moonstar had been drifting off. I really need to get more sleep... thought Moonstar. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard Valewhisper call her. She sat up abruptly. Moonstar gave her pelt a quick lick to straighten it out, then walked of her den. "Yes Valewhisper? What is it?"

OOC: sorry for shortness

((OoC: If I remember, this thread was before ShadowClan and ThunderClan fought, so before Vale disobeyed Moonstar.))

OOC: Yep. That's correct.

IC: Moonstar was glad to have a visitor. It had been a while since she had had a pleasant conversation that wasn't riddled with talk of war with a cat of her own clan. Moonstar looked up at Valewhisper. "Thank you very much for asking. I've been doing well, although I just can't get away from talk of war with Thunderclan. So Valewhisper, how are you doing? Are there still more sick cats, or have you treated them?" Moonstar had a lot of things on her mind. Duties as leader were getting busier so she had to focus on those, but her poor kit was also riddled with sadness. All of this while Thunderclan was becoming more aggressive and the whole thing with Ottersplash.

It was just a lot to focus on, especially the skirmishes with Thunderclan. Moonstar was losing cats to Thunderclan and she really didn't know what to do. She didn't want to launch a full-on attack and cause many more lives lost, but without any help Moonstar might just resort to more... drastic measures.

Moonstar smiled at Valewhisper's response. She was glad to hear that her clan was doing well. Despite that, when Valewhisper asked of Starclan, a chill went down her spine. She had received a dream from Starclan, but it was more of a nightmare. Moonstar supposed that it was better to tell Valewhisper than keep secrets. "Well... I suppose I have had one dream." Moonstar sighed. "I had a nightmare. A large group of cats were invading, and among them was Falconstrike. I managed to fend them off, but behind them all was a cat with a scar who was more powerful than anything I have ever seen. I suppose it could always be just a normal nightmare though." Moonstar knew it sounded ridiculous, but the dream felt so real. Almost like it already happened.

Moonstar sighed. She really didn't want to recall the horrible dream. But she supposed it was important. "Fine. I started in my den a great pain in my chest - I don't know what it was. Then everything changed, I was now in a clearing in the forest. The area I was in was constantly changing between Shadowclan, Riverclan, Thunderclan, Skyclan, and a strange dark place I don't recognize. I was like a ghost, no one could hear me. I was beside a cat who looked just like me. They were fighting off the invading cats. Falconstrike was killing cats, and-" Moonstar stopped. When she recalled the moment, tears welled up in her eyes. "The cat who looked like me... they killed him. And then the scarred cat behind the invaders attacked and killed the cat who looked like me." Moonstar looked up at Valewhisper, confusion in her eyes. "I don't know what it means."
