On her last visit to the Moonstone, Mothglow had spotted something sparkling; tucked away into the corner of the cave. A closer inspection had revealed what appeared to be a small piece of the Moonstone itself, perhaps chipped away. How that had happened to the seemingly indestructible stone, or whether it was even Moonstone at all, or even why it was so far from the stone itself, she didn't know. Still, she had carefully carried it back, and was rather proud of the fact that she'd only cut her tongue trying to lick it clean once. She'd instead chosen to soak it in the nearest body of water once she returned to ShadowClan territory, and now that it was sitting here in her den she had to decide what to do with it.
She could keep it, that was true - after the flood had washed away her collection of bugs she'd opted to instead collect pretty rocks, which now occupied a small corner of the medicine den. They were beautiful and often reminded her of those she knew, and most of them glittered when they caught the light. But it didn't seem fair for something so precious to be kept to herself.
She sat there for what felt like an eternity, staring at the little rock. When she thought about it, though, she realized that love was the most precious thing she knew; and suddenly she had her answer. It was beautiful but dangerous, with several sharp edges, and the smile that crossed her face was blinding.
Yes, she knew exactly who this stone reminded her of.
Carefully picking it up once again, she made her way to Thornstar's den in hopes that she was there. Carefully, gently, setting the stone down at her own paws there in the entrance.
"Mom?"
