Irispaw blinked open her eyes, the bright starlight that floated around the area blinding her temporarily. Her eyes slipped into focus, and she felt her eyes widen. What was this place? She stood up in panic, fur ruffled and on edge. She recognized this clearing. It was where Tallmarsh had taken her to become her apprentice... This was Starclan. Wait, was she dead?! He dug her claws into the sacred dirt- how strange that sounded- her body shaking nervously. B-but, I had so many cats I needed to heal! The clan has greencough! W-why me!? Why now?! She choked back a sob, her eyes glistening with uncalled tears. She was frozen in fear.

"Hello." Irispaw's ears startled at the noise, and she jolted around to find its source. Hm? How was this cat? She was lithe, a tortoise shell cat. Her eyes blazed green, even in death, determined. Her short fur gleamed with starlight, bright enough to make her sneeze. "Who are you?! What do you want with me?! Am I...dead?" She yelled, her last words chocked and whisperish. The she-cat chuckled, and Irispaw fumes silently. Smiling, the she-cat approached her graceful and quiet.
"I'm Lilyfur. Pipe down, will you? Plenty of cats just want some peace." She tutted. Irispaw felt guilty as she gazed up at her.
"Sorry." She mumbled. Lilyfur shook her head. "It's alright. It's nice to see a fellow Thunderclanner." Irispaw felt her eyes brighten, head tilting curiously. She was a Thunderclanner? She could barely smell it on her. But then again, she was already a bit faded. She could see faint outlines of trees through the molly's figure. Lilyfur watched her quietly, eyes focused in a way that made her uncomfortable. Before she could say anything, the warrior spoke.
"Irispaw, I must get to the point. You're waking up. Windclan is to be threatened. We need you ready to help. You are a medicine cat, do what you do best. And hurry. This is happening sooner than you think. Be brave. And beware the howls." She explained rapidly, bending down to touch the blue-grey medicine cat's nose with her own. Irispaw smiled, but a sense of dread filled her belly. What was this supposed to mean? Before she could ask, her vision blurred, and she spotted the she-cat, walking away. This was the last thing she saw before her vision faded to black.

At least she wasn't dead.

@Moonraven
"You have little to no faith in your clanmates." A deep voice chuckled as the starry tom stepped into sight. Hawkflame was shocked to see how easy Twilightstar was taking her death. There was no fear or surprise at all. "That apprentice, Warblerpaw, is taking care of your body. You need to believe in your clanmates a little more." He spoke, hoping to calm her impatience. "Settle down, you'll be back in your body before you know it." The large ginger tom falls back on his haunches as his smile falls from his face. "I'm sorry for the trouble that WindClan's going through. If we could help more..." He trails off looking down at his sparkling paws with a touch of sadness in his eyes. It was hard watching the clan go through such hardships and not being able to lend a paw.

honeyleaf opened her eyes, her heart was racing and she covered her face. she didn't care whom was around, she just started balling her eyes out, she was dead! honeyleaf sniffled and sobbed on the sweet sparkling grass.

Crowtail was walking through starclan when he saw a new cat. She must have recently died and by the scent of her was his former clan Shadowclan. The tom padded up to her. "Welcome to Starclan.", Crowtail meowed. He was hoping that this cat wouldn't recognize him.

honeyleaf looked up at the warrior for a good while and sniffled, "I wish I could say thank you, but..." her words trailed off and she sat up, "I'm afraid I'm not happy here..." she sniffled, honeyleafs eyes widen and she looked around, "oh no! duskstar!" she looked around and paw at the ground, "she needs me!" honeyleaf looked around in a painc.

@Blissie Bliss

Well that made two of them. The tom didn't like it here to much, but it was his fault he had gotten hit by a two-leg monster. The look on his living mates face when he was struck. He should be with her now, but that was never going to happen. "It's too late now. You can't reach any of the living cats.", Crowtail meowed.

honeyleaf shook her head, "no the medicine cat!" she looked at the cat in a panic, honeyleaf knew about messages and warnings, thats all she had to do!

honeyleaf turned around, her heart was racing, "I-I'm honeyleaf! and I need to send a message to the thunderclan leader or medicine cat, d-do you know a way?" honeyleaf dipped her head, her sparkling tan fur was fluffed and she had a look of plead in her eyes.

@Bravekit

honeyleaf let out a sigh of relief, she sat down and waited for flintspirit. Hoeyleaf was glad she found a way to talk to at least the deputy, at last she could explain...

Irisflame entered the landscape shortly after Coyotesnarl, eyes opening on the beautiful grassy territory. Trees were dotted here and there, and a large indigo sky faded into starlight. The sight made her heart sing. She loved visiting Starclan and it's gems. She just hoped that this wasn't some weird omen. As in, really hoped. Where was her mother? Where was Slatecloud? She ruffled her short blue-grey fur, her lapis hues lighting up in wonder as a starry bird flew overhead. What a show Starclan liked to put on. Hearing the tumbling of excited footsteps, she dragged her gaze from the bird to see Coyotesnarl's pelt dashing towards a stream. What in Starclan's name?

She felt a desperate urge to follow him and see what had gotten into that brain of his, but a little spirit tugged her heartstrings elsewhere. She was falling into temptation, she wouldn't do that. But she felt something like at her, and couldn't help but then around to look. At an uncrippled leg. And a straight tail. Her heart fluttered with sudden joy. Had Starclan decided to heal her? The vision faded, and she was let with her original form. What was going on? She bolted after Coyotesnarl, too consumed by her thoughts to notice the others.
"Coyotesnarl! It's not real!" She yowled. As she skidded to a stop behind the tom, she cautiously padded to his side. She curved her eyebrows in concern.
"Hey. Don't listen to this nonsense. I think you're perfect the way you are. Don't be tempted."

honeyleaf dipped her head to the deputy and smiled slightly, [COLOR="PaleGreen"]"well...not anymore...my name is honeyleaf...I was the shadowclan warrior that warned thunderclan of the raid..." honeyleafs words trailed off a bit, but she shook her head and smiled again, "i'm so sorry I had caused the raid to launch early..." honeyleaf's ears lowered as guilt washed over her.

Slowly materializing into the territory of the star cats, Lionwhisker opened his eyes to see Otterstone infront of him. She looked healed...full. He gave a smile at that and looked to where the two others went off to....his ears folded back as he felt sorry for coyotesnarl. las just let him enjoy it!
Sighing he parted from the group but stayed near them so he won't get lost. He was happy for the others who were able to feel joy for what starclan was doing to them. But he didn't really need that ....He was happy with himself .Which explains why he felt bad as he looked in a small pond. His own scars were healed...But ...He wasn't the one needing that comfort and joy right now.

He folded ears at that , he did feel that emotion..buuut...He didn't completely turn it down either! After a bit he gave himself a smirk and a wink "long time no see handsome . " he purred . He was at his full hotness! even his pelt was more shinny and golden . He missed those days... Looking back over at where the group was ,he returned to them
" iris let him enjoy it, I think you all need to have some sort of joy.. But I agree with not getting too lost in it. " he meowed .

[ @Flowstream ]

A voice... a voice reached his ears, young and innocent. Too young and innocent. Barkprowl turned his head toward the source of the noise, his heart twisting. Too young, too small, a cat who's chance to see the wonders of the world had been ripped away from them.
The mottled brown tom approached Yarrowkit, eyes gentle and expression kind. "I'm here," he said softly, crouching down in front of him. "There's no need to be afraid."

Irisflame blinked her eyes open, jolting upwards as they opened to starlight. Was she dead? No...dreaming. She had appeared in the grassy clearing that she usually did. She took a deep breath of the fresh air. It smelt so clean, completely free of Twoleg corruption. And the grass was so soft...everything was so inviting. But her wonder soon turned to agitation. She was here for a reason. So, why? Why on earth had she been summoned...here? She cleared her throat.
"Hello?"

Originally Posted by Flowstream (Post 669897) Yarrowkit was exploring when he heard the familiar voice echo through the air. He followed the voice, ending up behind an oddly familiar she-cat. "Is that you, Irisflame?" He squeaked with joy. At least someone he trusted in Shadowclan was around. The rest of the cats? Nope. He wouldn't go near them at all. He didn't even like the other cats, calling him mousebrain and not caring about him at all. Well, I HAD yowled stupidly... He snapped back to reality, wondering why Irisflame was doing here.

Originally Posted by Moon Lily (Post 669898) Irisflame jumped as a kit's voice she knew so well erupted from behind her. Yarrowkit? That was impossible. What was he doing here, of all cats? He couldn't be... He just couldn't be dead. Right? She hasn't seen him since the last clan meeting, though... Swiveling around, she smiled at his presence. "Yarrowkit! There you are, kiddo." Her heart broke to see a cat dead so young. Placing her muzzle upon his affectionately, she straightened up. Why was she here? She had no idea. "I actually don't know. I just...popped up, if you know what I'm saying. I thought you would know."

[ @Moon Lily @Flowstream ]

He opened his jaws to respond, but another cat beat him to it. He was surprised to see Irisflame appear, and dipped his head respectfully to her. As Yarrowkit asked for a favor, he tipped his head curiously. "Sure, ask away."

[ @Flowstream @Slushie ]

Irisflame felt her eyebrows knit in confusion as Yarrowkit explained that he had absolutely no idea either. Had she just randomly been summoned to Starclan? No, that couldn't be. If she had been, then there must have been a mistake. But she was sure Yarrrowkit had something to say. When he asked for a favour, she nodded at the other tom's words.
"I'll do that. I'll bury it as well- it's the best I can do." She paused, shaking her head, "I'm so sorry what happened- why didn't you come to me?"

[ @SilentLamb @CheetahPelt @wren ]

Irisflame looked down at the lapis pool. It gleaned so nicely in the sun...but it revealed false truth. Coyotesnarl may have wanted to scars. Lionwhisker as well. Otterstone her leg back. And herself...whole lungs, a perfect tail, and a straight leg was what she'd dreamed of her entire life. But they were swimming in a pool of lies. And that choked her. We're they perfect each time they'd appeared in Starclan? She supposed so. She hasn't had enough time to actually look at herself.

At Lionwhisker's words, she glanced back at him desperately. She didn't want to lose a friend to a beautiful lie. But she was surprised at Coyotesnarl's words.
"We all do..." She murmured, eyes shadowed. As he leaned into her pelt, she winced in surprise. Had that...actually worked? She smiled, rocking gently. The water still remained undisturbed, and she hated that. Perfect water, perfect cat, perfect everything. She growled softly at it.

@wren @CheetahPelt @Moon Lily

He couldn't help but smile softly . To be honest seeing coyotesnarl do that was kinda adorable to him. In a friend way of course! Though he felt that emotion once again that he can't quite define... yeah but...y'all are the ones who had suffered more than me..atleast it's what I assume . shaking his head slightly ah....she is right though...I mean...ah you know what I mean!
Huffing only to snort he looked back at Otterstone "what you think las?" . They haven't heard from the she cat in a bit...it'll be nice to hear her speak.

[ @Moon Lily @Flowstream ]

Barkprowl's features hardened, and his muzzle twitched. He crouched down close to Yarrowkit, eyes ablaze with emotion. "Never, ever think that," he said forcefully. "There will ALWAYS be someone who cares if you live or die, I can garuntee you that."
He closed his eyes and sat back with a heavy sigh. "Death can be scary and difficult to understand, but unfortunately it is a part of Clan life. While I agree her methods may not have been the wisest, Icestar was only doing what she thought was necessary for ShadowClan. As for Falcondive... from what I can tell, he's a troubled cat." It was too late to say, don't take it to heart, but he hoped it showed in his eyes.
He glanced over at Irisflame, sympathy sparking in his gaze. He rested his tail over her shoulders. "Burying a kit can be difficult, but I'll be with you the whole way."

@Flowstream @Slushie

Irisflame felt small beads of water form in her eyes. But she refused to let them fall. She would stand strong for this kit, this cat who had been through so much only to be repaid with a stab in the back. This small tom could have been more than he was now, but half the cats around him were too judgy to realize. If Shadowclan didn't care, they were more heartless than she had thought. She felt a growl ride in her throat, eyes narrowing.
"Yarrowkit, you are one of the bravest cats I've ever met. Please don't do this to yourself. Icestar has committed a great injustice, and she will pay, whether she likes it or not. So many cats care about you. Don't let the haters get in the way of that." She mewed. She knew only too well what being hated by some felt like, "To the Dark Forest with them!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. She didn't care if anyone heard. As the other tom slung her tail across her, she looked to him gratefully. Of all the cats she cared for, this one she had failed. SNiffing, she nodded.
"I'll bury you near my favourite herb gathering spot. Would you like that, Yarrowkit?" She asked, tilting her head. As he thanked her, she felt a spark of joy light up in her chest. She wouldn't fail him again.

"Can you tell the clan that... that I'm sorry for all I did? They don't have to forgive me. I also hope that a Thunderclan cat doesn't see my body, first... things would eventually get really ugly." He imagined Thunderclan at the gathering during the full moon, telling hundreds of cats from other clans about a dead kit with bones showing through matted fur lying peacefully in the grass between the Shadowclan and Thunderclan border. He shivered, imagining what other cats would do if they learned about his tiny, limp body with the scent of Shadowclan all over it... would they accuse Shadowclan as kit killers? Well, at least it would be buried, especially by a kind, gentle, and generous cat that he trusted. He also thought about the cat that snapped at him, but then spoke to him gently as he wandered the borders, saying that he should go back to Shadowclan... "I'm pretty sure Shadowpelt was worried when I roamed the borders... but instead of showing respect, I snapped at him, saying that I didn't want to go back. You don't mind if you tell him I'm very, very sorry about what happened back there..? And speaking of being sorry a lot... I'm sorry about all the favors. I'll do you a favor by being with you, no matter what!" Yarrowkit purred. He also wanted to actually wanted to see Irisflame again while being alive. But now it was too late. He was here in the ranks of Starclan now. He wished he could go back and restart his life all over again... Can I? He decided to ask Barkprowl after, just to see if he could. He wanted to try again, this time, showing more respect to the warriors and any other older cats. And not killing myself, he added in his mind.

@Flowstream @Slushie
[Yarrowkit can only be resurrected with a resurrection token, which I think you can request from the support hotline. But, they are very, very rare and extremely hard to get. Ask BILL. for any more info!]

Irisflame nodded at each of his favours, surprised that he had so little. Was there no cat back in Shadowclan he wanted her to say goodbye to, or send his love to? She tilted her head, she'd thought that There would be at least one...cat... She slowed her thoughts. She mustn't force it upon him. After all, there might not be anyone.
"Tell the clan you're sorry, and tell Barkprowl you're sorry, and bury you in the herb gathering spot. Is that it?" She asked, running over the short list once nore. She wanted to be sure she had everything, after all, this was no laughing matter.
