In the dark of the night, a dream comes.
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧
A forest stretches far and wide.
It is at once strange and familiar.
Chanterellegaze’s pawsteps have traveled here before, but the memory is distant and hard to hold. For now, no cats have joined her. She is alone.
Nearly alone. Over her head is a racket of bird calls. They flit back and forth through the trees, shadows at the corner of Chanterellegaze’s eyes but never coming into focus. It becomes almost teasing, as if they are playing a game, trying to see how close they can get without her turning to spot them.
Her path takes her to a small clearing, where at last another cat appears. She is stretched out in the ray of sun that has broken through the break in the trees, and her purr is the only thing that can be heard above the bird calls. As Chanterellegaze approached, she raises her head, blinking green eyes warmly at her old apprentice.
“Hello, little one. It’s been too long,” Bluepool purrs, stretching and giving a yawn before standing. She pads over to sit before Chanterellegaze, the pride in her gaze clear as she looks upon her old apprentice, “Yet you’re still stubborn as ever.”
Bluepool blinked again, lifting her eyes to the treetops, where the birds continue to dip and tumble. She gave a soft sigh, her shoulders sinking slightly.
“Troublesome times are ahead, Chanterellegaze,” she murmured, half to herself, “You’re going to need all the help you can get soon.” Her eyes fell back to Chanterellegaze’s, but this time, they seemed to gleam with the weight of thousands of generations of medicine cats stars.
“Are you ready to accept that?”
