Firestar |Couregous Lion of Skyclan|
All Firestar could hear were screams when he closed his eyes. His dreams plagued with darkness and whispers, yet he could never make out what the whispers or screams were saying. All he could sense from the nightmare was pain and dread, just the thought made his head throb in pain of trying to decipher what it could mean. Firestar knew that it was not a normal dream, it was a clouded vision that not just him was hearing when he closed his eyes. His daughter, Roseglow had received the nightmares as well. Now, the whispers and screams envelopes the clan, infecting his clanmates with unease.
With being a leader held responsibility and right now as he stands upon the large branch within the sky tree, watching his clan shift at the eerie atmosphere, he knew he needed to do something. Clearing his throat before commanding attention, “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Sky Tree for a clan meeting!” His voice echos, drawing everyone to him. Pausing for several moments as he gives his clan a chance to gather.
Sighing tiredly to himself before projecting his voice, “As everyone should know there is an unknown presence surrounding Skyclan. The whispers have become more frequent and with some investigation, I have concluded that the whispers are leading away from camp. I am going to send a group of warriors with Roseglow to investigate beyond our borders to figure out what these whispers want…” he reveals. His bicolored eyes sweeping over his clanmates as they take in his words.
“I need three or four warriors to volunteer to go with Roseglow to investigate on why these…apparations are calling out to us and only us” Firestar concludes, wondering who would decide to venture into the unknown with Roseglow.
Bearchaser |Strong-Willed Soldier of Skyclan|
Bearchaser could see and sense the unease around him, the constant uncanny whispers of muddled voices fill the dense air. His dark ember brown tufted ears flick backwards in edginess as he takes in his father’s words. The newly made warrior glances around him, taking notice that his fellow clanmates were on edge as a never ending fog seemed to want to trap them within. Unless they could figure out what the voices and the nightmares wanted—they were confined until they got to the bottom of this mystery.
Taking a step forward to stand next to his older sister, Roseglow. Giving her a small smile before his marigold gaze flicker up to look at Firestar. “I volunteer to go with Roseglow on this mission” Bearchaser volunteers with a resolved look on his sharp features. He knew he was young, which meant he had more to prove.
Aspenleaf
Skyclan Warrior
Aspenleaf listened to Firestar's announcement from the entrance to the medicine cat's den. He was recovered enough by now to move himself around the den, but he didn't dare go any farther. His ears flattened back when Firestar mentioned the whispers. Roseglow had been giving him poppy seeds most nights, and between that and the remaining pain in his leg - quieted now to a dull but persistent ache - he hadn't had any nightmares himself. But he'd heard Roseglow turning in her sleep, clearly plagued by bad dreams. And he knew many of the other warriors had begun to experience them as well.
His unease turned to alarm as the clan leader laid out the plan for Roseglow to lead a patrol to find the source of the whispers. She was Skyclan's only medicine cat, and hadn't even begun to train an apprentice. Aspenleaf twitched his broken leg involuntarily, and hissed in pain. What am I going to do now?
