He realized, his heart swelling with hope.

However, the hope was quietly squashed out with fear when he realized that the evil cats probably wouldn't go down without a fight, and that a lot of cats were going to get hurt, and maybe even die from this kind of situation.

The tom quickly got to his paws and wandered out of his den at the chilling sounds of fighting, even though he would be no help to the 'SkyClan' cats in the fight. He hadn't lived through many clan battles, but he knew enough to know how bloody they could be. The medicine cat made sure to stick close to his entrance, in case he needed to quickly retreat back into the safety of it. However, at least he was visible so if any cat got hurt, they could see him and come to him for help.

Northpath's ears also perked up at the sound of Skyclan's arrival. He had finished up organizing the herbs due to the fire destroying mist of them, and had added the ones that Surgestorm had given them as well,placing each herb in the right pile while the herbs to be discarded were in their own little clutter. He hadn't had much time since he had journeyed to Windclan than quickly after returning had headed out towards the Starcave. But once they returned he had gotten to work on the herbs like he had promised Zerosight.

But he now turned towards the entrance to the medicine cats' den as he strained his ears to listen to what was going on outside. His heart soared at the thought of this mysterious group of cats liberating them from Ratnight's reign. The look of pure happiness that he got from this thought was clear on his face. He was about to word his excitement about Grousestar granting them freedom to his mentor.

But then the fights started.

He scolded himself for being caught up so easily. Of course there would be a fight! Ratnight has many supporters within the clan and they'll continue to be loyal to him and his dark beliefs! The dark grey tom lashed his. I just don't understand how anyone could side with him, how they could so easily and quickly turn on Starclan without much of a reason.

The grey tabby turned as Zerosight was awoken by the yowled of Starclan. His autumn gaze followed his mentor as he headed towards the clearing to check on what was going on in the clearing, and to be there in case anyone needed his medical attention during the battle. Northpath quickly bounded after him, standing besides - though slightly behind - the blind tom and watched in horror as Skyclan and Thunderclan clashed. But worst of all, when Thunderclan started to fight their own clanmates, shedding blood in the process.

"Zerosight..." he whispered, his voice reflecting on his horror at the sight. He wanted to turn and hide away, pray that maybe he wouldn't be found and he could walk away after this unscathed. But he knew that was the cowards way out.Besides, he had a duty to help anyone that was hurt even at the cost of his life. It was in the oath he took when he became a full medicine cat. Instead of continuing what he was about to say,he turned and quickly started to gather any herbs they had left, wanting them ready in case he and Zerosight had to rush out to help the injured. This is the last thing that we need! We were weakened by the fire and now leaf-bare is here, how could Thunderclan be strong enough to survive all these blows?
