The Not-So-Perfect Life ((Opal & Siblings Only!))

[♫Swiftpath♫]

Raven let a purr softly rumble in her throat, then she let out a soft squeak and jumped up in the air.
"When are we going to stat I can't wait any longer I want to start Now I can't wait I don't know what we are going to learn but I can't wait!!!" she purred.
She shook her head, again, to get out of her hyper trance. Raven cleared her throat and shuffled back toward her mother, still making a hop with every step.

Fernshadow let out a loud purr at the small kit. "Maybe tomorrow," she meowed, with a glance at Opal and then at the black sky.

[♣Talonstar♣]

will you be here tomarrow foxheart

[§Wildheart§]

Foxheart looked at the kit. "Of course. I'm going to teach you how to hunt," he caught himself from saying 'and fight', because Opal was directly next to him.
Opal looked at the sky. "Kits. Bedtime. You can talk in the morning about the War...rior Code." She pointed with her tail to a bush. "You two can sleep there. There's comfy moss underneath."
Fernshadow dipped her head and ducked beneath it with a tail twitch to Foxheart, who scurried after her.

by foxheart and Fernshadow

[§Wildheart§]

Fernshadow and Foxheart raised their tails in goodbye and squeezed beneath the bush.

Opal turned to her kits. "C'mon. I know you won't get very much sleep, but you can at least try,"
She led them to their own bush that she shared with them, though not for long, since they were all getting bigger and bigger. She laid down on the soft moss and put her head down.

Nutmeg was pleased she would get to go with Fernshadow and Foxheart, well she was pretty sure they were going with them? She already knew Rock was up, she smiled to him and they squeezed out of the bush. She saw Fernshadow cleaning up her pelt, and Foxheart crouching low to the ground, he looked very strong, his muscles rippling like that.
She prefered Fernshadow to Foxheart, she was kinder, gentle, and caring, like Opal. She walked to Fernshadow and Rock split off and went to Foxheart. "Hello." She bowed her head to Fernshadow. "That is how you greet others higher in your... Clan, isn't it?" She tilted her head to Fernshadow. "And... I wanted to ask you somethings, about your Clan." She said, already fully trusting Fernshadow, this cat whom she just met. But ever since she first saw them, she knew they were different then other wandering cats her and her family had met, they were caring and not looking to steal our food-or hurt us. They were different, part of something bigger then Nutmeg could ever imagine, but she despratly wanted to be part of that bigger following. She wanted a reason.

[§Wildheart§]

Fernshadow gave her long fur a last lick and looked at the kit with interest in her sparkling eyes. "That is correct. But you need not nod to me and Foxheart everytime you see us," she purred, "You should do it a lot to the leader and the deputy, and the medicine cat of course."
She thought of how much there was to explain to these small kits, but she decided to answer her question first. "What is it you need to ask?"

[Sparrow]

"M-medicine cat?" She perked her ears up, wondering what a medicine cat was. She was going to ask something else, but it tied into a medicine cat, or she hoped it did...

[§Wildheart§]

Fernshadow nodded her triangular head. "A medicine cat takes care of the clan. They ensure the clan's health and their connection with StarClan. Medicine cats talk to StarClan and are given messages and prophecies to help their clans."
"StarClan is our ancestors. They live in Silverpelt," she pointed her tail to the lightening sky, which still held a few stars, "And they watch over us and protect us."

[Sparrow]

"Messages..." Nutmeg murmmered, looking up, at the full moon that hung vaguly in the sky from the night before. "I-I've had.. messages before! When a snake attacked my sisters, Tansy and Raven, Rocky saved them, but hurt his ear... Then I went down to a Twoleg garden, and I got a m-message! It showed me a bright orange and yellow flower petal. I brought it back, chewed it up and put it on Rock's ear, and it's healed now!! I called that flower the Sun Flower! Because its as bright as the sun. And that wasn't the only message I got. When Raven got a bad cut, I had cleaned it and used these web things, to stop the bleeding. After a while it got better much faster!" She said, her eyes growing wide, looking at Fernshadow.

[§Wildheart§]

Fernshadow gaped at her. Nutmeg seemed to have all the properties that Starsoul, and all the medicine cats had. She watched the kit's eyes grow wide. "You know the cat you reminded me of? That was Starsoul. She's our medicine cat. I would love for you to meet her."
The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. What reason did their mother have for letting them go all the way to the clans? She didn't have one, and Fernshadow didn't blame her; any of her kits could die or get hurt on the way there, or maybe they would never even find it.
"Er...you probably won't get to meet her, but trust me, you're a lot like her."

[Sparrow]

Nutmeg pricked her ears. She wanted to learn everything about being a medicine cat. She wanted ever so badly to meet this Starsoul. She wanted to learn more about the warrior code. She wanted so much, but she couldn't get that without going to these Clans. She looked up, thinking....
She looked back down, meeting Fernshadow's eyes after a few moments. "I'm coming with you. Even if the others aren't. I'm not destined for this life... I can see that now." She murmmered, looking at the beautiful she-cat.
