The early morning sun was bright on the clear and crisp horizon; although it offered minimal warmth to the frost-brittle moorland. Several swathes of frost-hardened and unbroken snow draped WindClan's camp in a picturesque manner, unwilling to free the sleepy Clan of its chilly presence. Exhaling a steamy breath, and feeling her teeth chatter slightly in the process, Brindlewhisker fluffed out her short fur in a futile attempt to keep warm as she continued to wait. Another day, another journey.

After speaking to Ashstar, it was decided that it was time for another apprentice to begin their ascent to the Warrior's rank- this time it just happened to be a bubbly young apprentice named Fernpaw. Although the Deputy had fairly limited interactions with the young she-cat, she could easily tell that this journey would at least be spent in good company.

Fernpaw tumbled out of the apprentices' den with a squeak, covering her fluffy gray fur in snow. She purred loudly with joy as she bounced around in it for a few moments before spotting Brindlewhisker. Dark green eyes shining so brightly, she bounded over to her. "Hi, Brindlewhisker! It's so chilly out here and it feels great! There's so much snow everywhere and it's a lot of fun to play in! Have you ever played in snow? Watch this!" She rolled onto her back into the snow again, and when she stood up it clumped all over her. She let out a little mrrow of laughter, her long tail swishing along the ground and stirring up more of the cold white blanket underpaw.

Another shiver crept down Brindlewhisker's spine as she watched Fernpaw hurtle herself from the shelter of where she had previously been sleeping. A slightly smile touched the Deputy's face as she continued to watch the young she-cat bounce to and fro with a surprising amount of energy, before she finally mewed, "Good morning Fernpaw." The heavily-scarred she-cat continued to observe the grey apprentice's joyous antics with patience, only occasionally offering an amused nod in response to the younger cat's questions. "I haven't played in the snow since I was a 'paw." She 'mrrowed' softly, reaching out to nudge Fernpaw back up onto her paws.

"Don't waste all of your energy now- we have a long journey ahead of us today." Brindlewhisker informed before rising to her paws. Bending down, the Deputy carefully grasped a small bundle of herbs in her mouth, taking precaution so that her teeth didn't nick any of the precious leaves that were meant for the rambunctious apprentice before her. With a soft exhale through her nose, she gently deposited the traveling herbs in front of Fernpaw, quickly swiping her tongue over her muzzle to rid herself of the foul taste."These are the traveling herbs that Featherpaw has prepared for you. Make sure to eat every bit of them; even if they taste foul." Brindlewhisker instructed, watching the grey apprentice closely as she spoke.

"Oh, okay!" Fernpaw shook off the snow and struggled to stand still, still quivering with excitement as she kneaded the ground with her forepaws. When the herbs were presented, she barely gave the deputy enough time to speak to her before scooping them up in her mouth and chewing away. She squeaked and made a rather adorably disgusted face. "Ewww! Why do they have to look so pretty but taste so yucky?" She swallowed regardless, repeatedly licking her lips to get rid of the foul taste.

A soft smile touched Brindlewhisker's muzzle as she watched Fernpaw consume the admittedly foul-tasting herbs, although she said nothing for several heartbeats. "I suppose they taste foul to try and ward off other creatures like rabbits, hares, and birds from consuming them." She mewed after a thoughtful pause, nose wrinkling slightly as she recalled the taste of the herbs that she had eaten moments prior to Fernpaw waking up. Giving herself another brief shake to free herself of the light dusting of snow that had collected upon her pelt once more, the Deputy carefully stretched each of her cold-stiffened limbs as she braced herself for the journey.  

"Are you ready to leave?" Brindlewhisker questioned, her gaze briefly darting up to the slightly cloudy sky far above them. It was early enough for them to make good time during their journey.

"Oh, yes, yes! Let's go, let's go!" Fernpaw bounded out of the camp entrance, too excited to keep a reasonably slower pace as the deputy advised.

Fernpaw's Moonstone Journey Empty

-time skip-

The sky was bleeding red behind the imposing outline of the Highstones and the faint light of Silverpelt was barely visible in the early night sky that unfolded around them. The gaping wound in the Earth that hungrily swallowed what little light remained in the late dusk of day eagerly awaiting their approach with an eerie calm. They had finally arrived to the Highstones a few hours earlier and spent the majority of the day lingering in the shade of nearby trees to escape the light snowfall that had plagued them during the duration of their journey. The ground was growing stiff beneath the two WindClan cat's paws due to the tendrils of frost that were clawing their way across the sparse forest floor. Brindlewhisker's short fur was fluffed out as she huddled close by Fernpaw, although her gaze remained trained on the rapidly darkening sky countless tail-lengths above them. It was time.

Rising to her paws and giving herself a brief shake, the Deputy strode away from where she had been previously resting. Twitching her tail in a signal for Fernpaw to follow suit, she continued to silently tread towards the Mothermouth. The frost-brittle ground was unprotected here, so large clumps of snow dotted the open territory here- forcing the pair to practically bound through the swathes. Clumps of snow clung to her belly, causing the Deputy to shiver violently- if she thought it was cold out here, just how cold was the Moonstone's cavern going to be? Finally pausing at the entrance to the sacred cavern, Brindlewhisker turned to look back at Fernpaw with intent eyes that gleamed sharply in the faint light of dusk before finally speaking. "Are you ready to begin?"

"Yeah, I'm ready! I'm so ready! I can't wait to see the Moonstone, or to talk to StarClan! Who do you think will visit me?" Fernpaw was caught in a breakneck paced ramble, too caught up in her excitement to be formal and dignified.

"Good." Brindlewhisker mewed softly, pleased to see such an eager expression upon Fernpaw's face at the thought of such a daunting encounter. Several of the other apprentice's that she had taken upon this journey had balked at the fact that they were actually about to speak with the cats who had come before them. Sweeping her tail in a wide arc, the Deputy fluffed out her fur in anticipation before speaking once more. "The tunnel we are about to go through is very dark and it will feel like you might get stuck in the passage, but just remember to breathe and keep walking- the tunnel does open back up towards the end." She warned briskly, turning to eye the dark opening in front of them, her voice reassuring, "Just remember, this is the most difficult part of our journey." Turning around with a soft chirp, Brindlewhisker plunged down into the gaping entrance of the Mothermouth, her pupils dilating as she tried to find an adequate light source within the dark depths of the tunnel.
For several long heartbeats as the little WindClan dou continued further and further into the passage, it began to grow tighter and tighter around them until the stony walls were pressing against their sides in a menacing manner. Her ears were pricked in an attempt to check on Fernpaw, but she didn't dare halt their progress.

The tight tunnel around them slowly began to widen with every step the pair took and there was the faintest hint of fresh air wafting from deep within the darkness. The soft muddy earth beneath their paws was softly sloping upwards towards an unknown destination. Exhaling quietly, Brindlewhisker felt the walls that once pressed in menacingly around them begin to slowly open up around them and suddenly, deep within the unmerciful darkness ahead of them, the faintest glow was barely visible. Pushing ahead with a new vigor in her step, the Deputy began to pick up the pace to a brisk trot as they finally entered the sacred grounds. A massive cavern unfolded around them, bathed in massive shadows thrown by the various rock formations that spilled into the sacred cave, while the imposing figure of the Moonstone lay nestled in the center as if it was guarded by the teeth-like rocks. The Moonstone was glinting softly in the weak light that streamed down from the jagged opening in the ceiling above them- they were a bit early but better safe than sorry.

Turning to face Fernpaw, Brindlewhisker beckoned the two young apprentices forwards with a twitch of her tail before she approached the softly illuminated Moonstone. Settling down at a comfortable distance from the stone, she lifted her head to watch the night sky from the slightly rounded hole in the ceiling. The moon was slowly rising higher and higher in the dark sky until finally it reached the top of the cave's ceiling, flooding the space with its soft, silvery light. The entire cavern was instantly lit up in a dazzling light that erased nearly all the shadows that had previously made their home in the cozy little cave and the Moonstone itself twinkled and glittered as if it had swallowed every star in Silverpelt. Turning to look at Fernpaw, the Deputy had to squint slightly in the harsh light as she stared at the apprentice with a bright gaze.  

"Fernpaw, with the blessing of the full moon, you are now able to speak with our Warrior ancestors. Come forward and press your nose to the stone and allow yourself to relax. Remember that I will not join you on this part of our journey, but do not be afraid- trust in our ancestors and take heed in their words. I wish you good luck and hope that you find whatever answers you seek." Brindlewhisker finished softly, eyes glimmering in the silver light reflected by the stone, as she fidgeted awkwardly on the icy floor of the cavern in an attempt to find a comfortable resting position.


ooc) speak to starclan now ;)

For once in Fernpaw's life, she was completely still and quiet, swept up in awe at the magnificence of the Moonstone's majestic glow. She listened intently to Brindlewhisker's instructions and nodded when she was given permission to approach the magical stone, which she did. She curled up on the floor in front of it and pressed her nose to it, giving a soft squeak as she was suddenly filled to the brim with coldness that seeped down into her bones. Her eyes shut tightly as she waited for the cold to ebb away, and eventually it did.

When she opened them again she found herself no longer by the Moonstone, but in magical starlit territory. Everywhere around her was peace and beauty, and up above the stars twinkled softly. She knew she was in StarClan, and excitement rose up in her chest.

"Wow!" she squealed quite loudly. She purred happily as she spun around in a few circles, stirring up little fireflies hiding in the grass. "This is the best place ever!" She then tilted her head up to the stars and looked around before calling out. "Hello! My name is Fernpaw of WindClan! I'm here to speak with StarClan!"

At the apprentice's appearance, a rather irritated-looking tom materialized. His wide shoulders, despite having received StarClan's healing as he had ascended, were still laced with scars. He was proud of them. Foxfang could remember the circumstances for most, but not all. His eyes were half-closed as he watched the WindClan she-cat practically bounce around the place. She reminded him of his own daughter - the version he had known while he was still alive, of course - and his pupils narrowed at the memory. Perhaps it was a show of nostalgia? Well, whatever it was, it was gone in an instant.

The ginger-furred cat lumbered towards Fernpaw, through grass that was almost too soft for his liking. "Welcome, Fernpaw." His voice was deep and had a commanding tone to it. He did not offer her a smile or any sort of friendly gesture. The scent of ThunderClan still clung to his pelt, even through the many seasons that had passed since his death. "I am-" Ah, he still maintained that habit as well. "I was a ThunderClan warrior, long before you or your parents were ever even thought of. What are you looking for here?" His gaze bored into the apprentice's green eyes.

Fernpaw looked up in awe at the battle-scarred StarClan cat, her eyes sparkling with sheer glee. "Oh, wow! You're a real StarClan cat! This is the best dream ever!" She gave a happy little skip before approaching closer to him. "I'm here to meet StarClan. Brindlewhisker told me all apprentices have to share dreams with StarClan before they can become warriors. This is without a doubt my absolute favorite part of being an apprentice."

The WindClan warrior began looking over Foxfang's scars with awe. "Wow, I've never seen a cat with so many scars. You must be super strong and brave! ThunderClan must've been lucky to have you!" She arched her eyes happily, hoping to put at least a little amusement in the elder's features, whether it be a small smile or a subtle glow in his eyes.
