A small she-cat padded down the steep incline to the moonpool, her breath slow. Her long white fur, covered in the odd ginger and black spots, only moved as her limbs did, for there was no breeze this far underground.
Somewhere off in the distance a small river babbled, and as she passed a tunnel where the noise grew louder. As she padded on the noise drifted off, and the silence was defening. Her ears pricked and she gave a small jump as a drip of water splashed against her nose, dislodging itself from the rocks above.
The ground felt cold below Herbpaw's soft pink pads, and the only lighting she had was the sent of uncountable past leaders and medicine cats, their pawsteps and old, stale sents guiding the apprentice without her eyes.
The first light she had seen in the tunnel reached her long before she reached the moonpool. She quickened her pace, and she was running towards the moonpool. Moonlight from above streamed in through the roof, and Herbpaw stopped, her breathing slow, as she waited intensly for the other cats to arrive.

Darkpaw ducked under the bushes, looking around to see if anyone else was there. He padded out of the bushes, mumbling to himself, "This is stupid, no one is here..." Then, he saw a young cat just over in the clearing. "Hello?" he called.

ShadowPaw had left camp, as soon as the sun had gone down. He arrived at the MoonPool, before Moonhigh, and sat down and waited. He spotted HerbPaw and said , "Hello."
Spirit had had a dream that night and had left, and had suddenly found himself, at a pond. He saw two other cats about his age. "Hi!"
CloudWish jumped down, onto a rock and headed towards the moonpool. "Hey guys!" he said happily before walking over.
OakPaw had left early afternoon, from StreamClan camp. He wanted time to rest along the way. But he was still there early He saw about three other cats and went over and said, "greetings"
SmallPaw had left early and had arrived first. He had been hiding behind some bushes and now stepped out. He didn't say hello, but he nodded, to the other remaining cats.

Darkpaw growled, "You! Cloudkit, right? Why are you here?" He gave Cloudwish a suspicious look.

Nyroc whispered in Cloudwish's head. I give you the gift of shadows. Use it to hide you and control the darkness...

CloudWish looked at his brother. "Why, the same reason you are. StarClan sent me."

Darkpaw growled a low warning. "I saw you go with that evil cat. I don't trust you as far as I can throw you..." he hissed.

Featherpaw slowly padded into the moonpool her silver gleamed as the moonlight slowly left her fur. "Hello everyone." she purred warmly walking over to Darkpaw.
Hollypaw bounded in she looked at all the cats she walked up and stood next to Featherpaw looking warmly to all her gaze rested on Cloudwish he looked a lot like her. "Hi." she managed to mew.

ShadowPaw nodded toward FeatherPaw, and smiled at HollyPaw. "Hey you guys!" Before smiling at them both. He then turned to DarkPaw. "DarkPaw, if he got a dream from StarClan he must not be evil." Spirit looked at the other cats. "Hi I'm Spirit. I live with UprightWalkers." He said smiling at them. "But I got a dream that led me here."
OakPaw nodded towards HollyPaw. "Hey you got the dream too?" SmallPaw noted that there was two other medicine cat apprentices. FeatherPaw and SpottedPaw.

Darkpaw hissed slightly, eyeing Cloudwish. "I'm watching you..." he muttered, and turned to talk to Smallpaw. "Hello." he said.

Herbpaw stood watching the other cats, nodding a greeting whenever they said something to her. She flicked her long, fluffy ginger-and-black tail and watched as Featherpaw and Hollypaw lay down beside the starry pool of moonshine. She flicked her tail, and bent down to lay next to Featherpaw, not having said one word to the other cats. Slowly, she licked up a few drops of the cold water, and it shook her insides. It tasted of the stars on a cold night, cool and refershing. Her eyes drooped closed as she fell into a deep sleep...

Darkpaw catiously approached the Moonpool. Bending his head low to drink, he thought he saw something as he drank, but forgot it once the placid water touched his tounge, sending him into a deep sleep.

Herbpaw now lay on her belly, her white pelt laying flat over her strong limbs, speckeled with the ocasional ginger or black spot. Her green eyes were hidden by white furred eyelids, and she looked so peacefull, she might be dead. But she was far from walking in the ranks of StarClan...more like...walking with them...
Her shoulder blades rose and fell rythmicly, the other cats around her. The slight breeze blew her pelt back against fur face, and her tail streamed out. In a heartbeat the wind stopped, leaving the forest deathingly silent. Only the quiet pawsteps of the cats echoed through the forest...
