Turtlepatch is sitting watching the other cats. Her tail is flicking side to side casually. The grass sways with a slight breeze. The pond seems undisturbed. She shivers. Not from the wind, but from the strange aura the pond seems to give off. She notices the whole area looks really beautiful under the moonlight, especially the pool of water nearby. She gave Blazingstreak a wary look as she came over. She nodded back though. She turns to Rockmask as she speaks. "Yeah it does seem that way doesn't it? I was drawn here," She informs. She watches Cyanideblast's eyes flicker with confusion and slight curiosity. Probably wondering what this could possibly be about. Turtlepatch gazes at the stars. She imagines their ancestors around a pool of water looking down at them. She believes they can see straight through this pool. She wonders what plans they have for the cats. Maybe, perhaps, what things they know. Turtlepatch thinks the dreams they send are of the future and they know it somehow but they don't have the much control on it. They only deliver the message. She shakes her head before her thoughts go too far. She isn't one to question such silly things. She just follows Starclan's path.

Blazingstreak nodded to Waterpaw with a slightly distracted air, his tail flicking softly from side to side, green gaze full of wonder. 'Hello, Waterpaw..' he mewed steadily, then his gaze hardened somewhat and he turned his attention to the other medicine cats. 'I wasn't aware we were meant to bring our apprentices?' He looked around at the other cats with a slightly surprised expression on his face, staring intently at them, waiting for some sort of answer or response. Then he fell quiet, looking around the clearing intently. 'Does any cat know why we were brought here, all medicine cats together? I felt sure I was given a sign..' His voice trailed off as he lapsed into thought again, pondering over the question, he himself, had asked.

Cyanideblast's eyes flickered again from everyone. She still didn't understand... Turtlepatch was of someone she hadn't heard of much. She wondered why even she was here... Blazingstreak was here to?! How odd.... it was so weird to see so many cats in one place at the same time. She felt that it was a gathering.... then it hit her.... Turtlepatch had said 'I was drawn here.' that had to mean she was drawn here by the ancient StarClan! Cyanideblast looked into the pool, the Amber Pool. She felt that she was seeing all of the ancestors, waiting for all of them to figure out what this was about.... " And wait... why are you all in SapphireClan's territory anyways?" She wondered why StarClan had called them to an enemy clan's territory.

Turtlepatch stares at Cyanideblast for a moment. "I don't know. I'm sure Starclan has a legite reason for bringing us all to this pond," She answers thoughtfully. She looks at the pond. She is mesmerized by it's shining reflectiveness. She steps closer toward it. She hovers right on the edge. She looks like she's about to jump in. She tentaviley dips her paw into the sparkling water. She feels a rush of energy. She sways on her paws, nearly losing balance. She jumps back, removing her paw quickly. She stares in awe, her jaw open in a gape. The small swirls rippled across the entire pond. Turtlepatch turned to the other cats. "Did you see that? I felt this blast... like a shock.. I could feel their presence," She meowed in a low, distance voice. Her eyes are wide and twinkling like the stars with amazement. She gives a long glance up at the stars. It feels like they are all around her. She can hear their eerie voices whispering. She sways again and her eyes flutter. She feels dizzy like the world is spinning in front of her eyes. As she composes herself, she can swear that she saw the flickering form of a Starclan standing in the middle of the pond... as if that's even possible.

Rockmask payed heed to what was just said, and stared deeply into the pond, and glanced at all of their reflections, and of the glow cast off the water by the moon. She turned her ears at the mention of enemy clans and muttered, "Now is not the time for fighting over petty things like loyalty of your Clan," under her breath, so only the nearest ones could hear. Then, what she had just said struck her with a realization. She'd called bloodlines petty. She repositioned her sit and curled her tail slowly around her paws. She then sunk into a state of deep pondering while the whisper of the cats rose. Or maybe it was the wind.... or...something else entirely.

Cyanideblast let herself watch around her and, letting her gaze float to Turtlepatch as she spoke. Finally, someone had spoken something quite good. Then she looked at Turtlepatch as she walked forward. Just as she was about to ask what she was doing, her eyes grew wide. It felt like stars were around her fur and she was being taken to StarClan peacefully.... She watched as Turtlepatch jolted and pushed her paw out of the water. Swirls rippled in the pond. She walked close to Turtlepatch as she spoke again. "Everyone, put your paw in the water!" She said, an idea springing to her head. "At the same time! Hurry!"

Blazingstreak's ears pricked as he heard what Turtlepatch said. She could feel StarClan's presence?! He thought, slightly confused. He decided to join her by the pond and padded forward quickly. He stepped up beside her, and tentatively dipped his paw in. His face furrowed, as nothing happened. 'Why doesn't it work for me? he thought in frustration. He looked at her, carefully. 'I did not feel anything when I stepped up to the pond, by I do not doubt you.. StarClan must be here, yet what do they want from us..?' He said, half to himself, green gaze narrowing slightly as he puzzled over the matter. Then he stopped, fur standing on edge. He looked around at the other cats, 'J-Just then!' he mewed, hastily, 'I'm sure I saw a glimmer of stars and shadows.. I am sure of it; it was StarClan!' His eyes were now wide with exhiliration and faint excitement. He looked eagerly around the clearing, hoping a cat from StarClan would come down and present them with a message of some kind.. Then he heard Cyanideblast's hurried mew and he dashed over to the pond, putting his paw in the freezing water, with a slight wince.

Cyanideblast felt her paw dip into the water. She felt a ripple run through her body. She wanted to speak, but she felt like she could not. Her eyes closed slowly. She felt taken by a dream of some sourt. She looked around a blue area. A figure approached her. What was it doing there? She wanted to ask. It was a beautiful long haired white she cat with brown eyes. Stars surrounded her; she must be a cat from StarClan. She forced her mouth open, maybe she could ask. But no words escaped her mouth. Maybe it was a dream that she could not speak in. She didn't know what was going to happen. Cyanideblast was zapped back into reality. She felt her eyes wet and her pelt slowly drenching. Stars surrounded her. StarClan!!! she felt like yowling. She noticed that there were slow darker starry figures, the outlines of cats surrouding her. They looked so peaceful. She felt she could stay there forever. But then she noticed she was drowning. "G-great StarClan! HELP!"

Rockmask gave sharp looks towards those who put their paws in the water. "It might be wise...not to prod them," she warned. She felt a strange anger come over her but she forced it to subside. She looked up at the moon and felt the presence of her and many others who she did not know ancestors all around her. Before she drifeted away she took notice of the other catswith their eyes closed and realized she was the last one, and completely unaware that they had already gone. She felt stupid now. She closed her eyes and let the Starclan warriors approach her as she floated away half dreaming. She was guided by her mother to a strange place she did not know, and saw the remains refreshened of the ancestors bodies, bloody, all together, in a heap. The gore of it was hard to accept and her mother was gone, replaced by members of the Dark Forest standing aboud the entrails and innards, smirking at her. She was terrified, but could not move. Then suddenly, she found herslef unable to breathe, and awoke in the pond, freezing.

Turtlepatch stands back for a moment. She is kind of scared. The feeling had been so strange. It had felt powerful, pulling her in. She takes a few steps toward the pond. She watches a couple of other cats put their paws in. She decides to strengthen up. She's a Medicine Cat! She dashes forward without thinking. She tenses the muscles in her back legs and skids to a stop right at the edge. She leans down and places her paw in the water. A rush goes over her and stars swirl around in her mind. She suddenly finds her self tumble over into the pond but it doesn't feel real. She jumps up and finds herself standing in a shallower pond. Surrounding her are faded figures that she can see right through. She widens her eyes and backs up. They are all around. She looks around hoping the other Medicine cats will appear. She's sure she will freak out and maybe have a breakdown if they don't. She is frightened by all the dead cats around. She takes in slow breaths trying to calm herself and not have a massive spasm. That would look terrible considering she is supposed to be calm minded. It is a huge part of her important duties.
