For complete tears, or ruptures - since there's no difference, they'll need to be splinted. This is where climbing vines and sticks come into play. If you'll follow me.." Aconiteheart turned from the apprentice, approaching a nearby tree where oval shaped leaves circled the trunk. The spirit reared up on his hindlegs, his forepaws firmly planted on the trunk as he reached to nip the stem of the vine in several locations, giving him a few decently-length vines. He grabbed the fragments of the plant and dropped back to the ground. "I'll show you how to prepare a splint," he spoke around the stem and leaves as he turned back to the apprentice, "if you grab a couple sticks for me. Since we don't have a patient to practice on, it'll be oral instructions with you splinting my leg. Sound good?"

He didn't want to see this, especially when the tom was so happy-go-lucky in his daily life- at least, when he was alive to see how he acted. He didn't know if anything had gone wrong during the time he'd been stuck up here in Starclan, a place talked about as if it was the most amazing place in the entire forest- but it was a prison to those who were without anyone they cared for, when they couldn't see how everyone else was doing, stuck to roam about the heavens themselves. Aspenflash, Ashenpaw- my family, they're stuck down there without me! "The new clans are going through tough times, too, from what I've heard- they're all recovering from what happened to them, and they're indebted to you for saving them." He repeated the words he'd been hearing around Starclan to the leader, trying to emphasize the fact that the clans weren't about to attack his own for quite some time, since they had Skyclan to thank for saving them from their own evil leaders. "One clan's even got a new leader and deputy, and there's yet to be a deputy appointed in... Windclan, I think that was the one. They're weak, and need your help." "Really, you should talk to their leaders or deputies- they're sure to thank you." Rowanflower exclaimed, not noticing the slight flicker of his own tail- the fact that the very tip of it was completely gone already.

"Well I mean.. I do know that, but I still can't help but have my doubts, they were big decisions, really my first big decisions I've ever made in my life. I can't help but worry if I made the wrong choice... I mean.. I mean look what.. What happened to you.." Mewed the tom, a glimmer of sadness and guilt worming onto his face as he looked at the glimmering Rowanflower, his former apprentice whom he cared deeply for, before looking back to his paws with a quiet sigh. Grousestar never let these emotions show through to the cats of his clan, it was never a question in his mind, he couldn't let them see him like that because then they'd lose faith in him as a leader, and besides his happy, cheery demeanor always seemed to make other cats happy, which always made him happy in the end too. He didn't want his clan to see him like this so he instead saved it for when he was alone and could let them out, like in dreams or just when he's simply alone in his den with his thoughts. There was more to Grouse than happiness, you just couldn't expect a cat to be happy all of the time, it was impossible, there were always other emotions and he could get angry too, just never with any of his clanmates, never, no, his anger is saved for those that threaten his clan. Like the Dusk Syndicate whom he has yet to learn about. Nonetheless, I digress, but there is more to this tom than simple happiness and optimism.
His emerald gaze looked back to his former apprentice as he began to speak again, the tip of the leaders tail flicking back and forth. "I don't like to think that they're indebted to me, I don't need to be repaid, it's not right. I just wanted to help." There was a pause as he listened to Rowanflower continue, one of his usual smiles appearing on his muzzle as he heard the clans were recovering. "Yes.. Perhaps I will travel to them in a few days to check in with them. I just.. I want to be sure they're doing okay and that I haven't caused too much damage."
Once again the tom paused, remembering something he had smelled along one of his borders, his head tilting.
"Though I can't help but wonder.. Is there.. Another clan besides the ones we liberated? I continuously smell strong scent markers along one of our borders as if there's another clan, or is it just a band of rogues? Do you know anything of this Rowan?"

Originally Posted by Hexict (Post 124773) @Zero to Hero- you can just skip to the last paragraph if you want ^w^ A young tom blinked his autumn orbs open. He was initially confused as to where he was at the moment. Northpath strained to remember what had happened and why he wasn't in the medicine cats' den along with Zerosight. But Zerosight wasn't to be seen and this sure wasn't Thunderclan. He believed - and honestly felt - as if he had just woken up from a dream... or maybe this was a dream? His orbs widened as he took in the starry area. He had never seen Starclan, but he knew this was it. The tom had trained for most of his young life as a medicine cat, yet unfortunately for him he had become one when the Dark Forest had already began their take over of the clans and he hadn't been able to have any contact with their ancestors ever. But now he believed that this was his first dream with them. He began to remember the fight that had taken place between the Starclan supporters and Dark Forest supporters - though the ending hadn't yet come back to him. Northpath began to believe that they had won and now Starclan was free to visit the clans when they pleased. Perhaps they are here because they couldn't truly show at my apprentice ceremony as well as my naming ceremony? The tabby silently wonder and gazed around at the place that he had only heard stories of. Though he hadn't been born into the clans, the tom had been quick to embrace their beliefs in their starry ancestors. Though perhaps that was more of a hope that someone was looking out for him rather than just blind accepting a belief he had never heard of previously? But it didn't take too long. Even though he was looking around and trying to remember what happened, it came relatively quick. Zerosight! His mentor's name was the first thing that he thought of. Not the fact that he had just been killed, but he worried that maybe he hadn't actually been able to save his mentor after all. But then again, his mentor wasn't to be seen. The dark tom dug his claws into the soft ground as he suddenly felt a flash of physical and mental pain thinking about the events that had lead up to his death. Northpath had to accept that he was now dead. That he had died at the young age of fourteen moons and now he would be replaced in the clans almost as if he never even existed. It was painful to think of that. But as soon as the flash passed, he felt a strange sensation of peace. He knew it must have been the place that gave him that feeling since he believed that he really shouldn't be at peace with his death. No one should. But he had saved Zerosight, which would hopefully lead to his mentor continuing on for moons to come and treat others, something that Northpath doubted he would be able to do with Zerosight despite having near all knowledge of herbs that his mentor could've possibly taught him. But he was dead, and it was strange that he felt practically free of regret. Though he was glad that Zerosight was alive and planed to watch over him as much as possible. He wondered how could become his next apprentice and Northpath had to admit that he felt the prickly of jealousy at the fact that he would have to be replaced - and Zerosight might love this cat more than he loved Northpath. The dark tabby began to feel lonely at the thoughts, and decided to call out to anyone around. "Hello?" He hoped someone would be able to help him. He wasn't exactly sure what to do now. All he knew of Starclan that they were the deceased cats that use to live in the clans who now watch over them... but was all he he to do now just stalk the living? "Hello?" He called again, his voice a bit shaky yet this time a bit louder.

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 128690) ( Anyone can reply, but only one. ) Blizzardpaw opened his eyes, amber orbs glistening still with the fear that he had when he had died. The brown and cream tabby then realized, he was dead, now a member of his ancestors. He knew he couldn't come back, he knew that, with all his heart, even if he desperately wanted to. The tom cat sat their stil, but his head scanning the starry plane, wondering, if he would meet a cat, one of his ancestors, to help him understand, what had happened. Blizzardpaw then knew that he, somehow, was killed from staying out in the cold for too long and froze to death, but why? Was it fate? Was it destiny? These things puzzled the young eight moon old apprentice. He wanted to be at peace and understand to his death, as he knew, Cherrypaw would miss him, his recent new friend. Besides puzzling over his recent death, Blizzardpaw also had willingness to go back, to do something. But, now, all he probably could do now, was watch his clan over, or perhaps, the other clans. Something, Blizzardpaw wasn't too keen on doing, he'd rather stick with his own clan, Shadowclan, than look out on the other three...no...four other clans. But, Skyclan was an interesting case, and...they came out of no where, strangely. That made them more interesting, rich, and new then the other clans, Blizzardpaw had thought once, with great curiosity. Yes, indeed, but, still, that didn't matter right now, at all.

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 136059) Blizzardpaw turned around, his amber orbs blinking in confusion for a moment, before, giving a nervous, but somewhat wise nod. "Ah, yes, I suppose you could say, i'm a Starclan Cat, a recent one, that is." He responded, a warm smile on his face. Blizzardpaw wasn't accustomed to the starry plane yet, but he obviously hoped that, he could be okay with being dead, he was a bit, but not by much. Blizzardpaw couldn't tell if Gleamrose was dead or not, but maybe that was because he was still, a recent cat that appeared here.

Originally Posted by NightWarrior4Life "How recent?" She said, anxiously. "Because I was hoping you'd know something...anything...about...me...about my life...it's confusing so don't worry, I'm not expecting you to understand at first...or at all!" She put her tail on the apprentice's shoulder.

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 137318) The brown, cream, and white tabby's ears flattened in memory of his death, his ice chilling, cold death. "A few days ago, I died hunting for my clan..and I came into camp, freezing, and a died, died right their the camp. How precious life can be." Blizzardpaw paused, before turning to Gleamrose, "Ah, Gleamrose, correct, and. No, I do not know you but, I'm free to listen." The wise apprentice replied, eyes warm as ever. It would be interesting to listen to a cats story, and he could learn more about others he never met in the living world. He sniffed at bit at the touch, but said nothing. "If I may ask, what clan are you from?" He questioned, wanting to make sure where the cat was from, he needed to know that information first, but she began, it was necessary, for him. "I'm sure you may have many questions is to why you are here, sometimes, cats will themselves, without knowing it, to our realm, and our world. It was, confusing at first, but you will understand with time." Blizzardpaw would of chuckled at his wise looking demeanor, but this young cat needed some guidance, and he would give the molly the answers she needed, hopefully. He didn't know what kind of guidance she needed, but, he knew he would found out soon.

She trailed off a little, staring into the distance...an endless void surrounded her. Full of ancient wisdom and stories. Shame she couldn't get to know it better. "Sorry, that must've been so sad for you..." She put her tail around his starry shoulders and gazed at her own paws.

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 138408) "Ah, I see." Blizzardpaw spoke, eyes glimmering in the starry light. "What state, may I ask?" The wise, and thoughtful apprentice beyond his real age asked, before stating, "Every cat has their stories, their backstories, some are sadder than others, I'm sure theirs cats who have much more tragic stories than yours, but of course, you never know who those stories belong to, you have to dig deep, which is hard for living cats who don't understand the ways of how some stories shape the clan's lives." He understood the pain, of not seeing family again, being that his parents died in the Shadowclan Liberation, together. He hated his parents, they were evil, Dark Forest followers to the very end.

Originally Posted by NightWarrior4Life "I doubt it matters...look, I've been told what will happen to me...I believe I am dreaming right now, so don't get your hopes up. One cat told me I'd disappear...and just be...irrelevant and forgotten about and another said I'd become medicine cat apprentice which I think is very unlikely! Do you have any idea what they might be getting to?"

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 139539) "I see. And, yes, you are dreaming." Blizzardpaw gave a slight nod before continuing. "Some cats tend to be misleading, its up to you if you disappear, become some cat important, or do something heroic, it is your destiny, you get to decide. The choices you make are up to you as well. You are, free to what limits are at your fur, so to speak. If you want to disappear, you can, its your choice. Some things, you can't stop, but it's also, up to you, if you stop it, or not." Blizzardpaw dearly hoped this would help, he didn't want to misleading, or wrong, like the other cats were, he wanted it to make more sense, to be practical. Practical things made more since, than non practical, after all. Blizzardpaw's tail curled around himself slowly as he spoke again. "I have the power to get you back in the waking world, if you wish." He meowed firmly, eyes shining with warmth and kindness. Yes, it was an option, a very easy to get option.

Well...I doubt I'll be a medicine cat but, that's not the point...what you both said is...true in a way...I will disappear...I'm gonna be stuck here! I'll be stuck in StarClan the rest of my life...stuck in a dream state...I'm gonna be stuck in a coma!" She wailed, with a slight growl. "Thanks for the offer but if you can't help me wake up, I don't think any cat can, living or dead..." She sighed

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 140625) Blizzardpaw's expression looked thoughtful, "They may be wrong, or they may be right." The brown mottled tabby answered, with a solemn tone. "Their is always a way to help you, simple or hard, its your choose to accept or not." He spoke, eyes unreadable, but would probably show seriousness in this situation.

Originally Posted by NightWarrior4Life (I hope this doesn't sound too like a prophecy I'm trying not to cause it's against the rules...) GleamRose sighed and looked BlizzardPaw in the eye "it was nice meeting you." She dipped her head respectfully, afterall this was a dead cat she was speaking to and despite his age, he was wise as any other elder.

Originally Posted by Stormiiix (Post 140642) Blizzardpaw nodded, "I hope you find your way back to the waking world, Gleamrose, just remember, always try to will yourself out of this, it might just work." The tom advised, hoping, it would really, truly work.
