July Medicine Cat Meeting 2022

This would be the first time Dovesight would attend one of these meetings, and she was a little nervous. They didn't have these for warriors. It didn't help her nerves that she was the only one there when she arrived. Had she missed it? No, she couldn't have, the half moon hadn't reached its peak! So was she just too early?

Awkwardly, Dovesight stood there, not sure what to do. Did she just go in? Did she wait? She looked out onto the territories below, anxiously searching for movement. Someone else had to be coming, right?

Fuzzybelly strolled up to Highstones. Basilbloom hadn’t been with him for a while, and he worried about her health after that scare they experienced…

As he approached Mothermouth, he spotted another cat waiting outside.

“Hullo, I’m Fuzzybelly of ShadowClan, who’re you?”

The other cat smelled of RiverClan, which surprised him. They must have had a cat on retainer to fill the murdered Cloverheart’s spot.

“If you’d like, I can show you where the Moonstone is.”

“How long have you been a medicine cat?”

More cats had approached, and Dovesight held in a sigh of relief. She didn't want to give away just how nervous she had been, afraid of having done something wrong.

The first cat to arrive was Fuzzybelly, and she sort of just stared at him as he introduced himself. She would have thought the meeting of a new medicine cat would be something to remember, so how had Fuzzybelly forgotten her so quickly?

Before she had a chance to say anything, Fawnshine approached, another cat she recognized after meeting her at the gathering. And this time she remembered as well.

"Yes! I do remember you two. It's so good to see you again! How are things in ThunderClan?"

She turned her attention to Fuzzybelly, still a little worried for the Tom. "We also met during the gathering, remember? I'm Dovesight, RiverClan's new medicine cat. And I already know where the moonstone is, I went there to gain StarClan's approval for this new path set before my paws. Is everything okay in ShadowClan, Fuzzybelly?"

“We have plenty of apprentices getting ready to be warriors. Sorry for my squirrelbrain, I’ve been handling things solo. Basilbloom got really sick and—”

He took in a deep breath and sighed. Fuzzybelly felt like he was going mad. The honest truth was that Basilbloom almost died, though he was unsure if he could even tell the other medicine cats that.

“Anyway… I guess we’re waiting for SkyClan and WindClan.”

Batsong was next to arrive she caught the tail end of Fuzzybellys comments about Basilbloom.

"im s-sorry to h-hear t-that " she offered her condolences.  The black furred molly was shy and had a stutter since kithood.  It didnt bother her though.

She noticed a little how nervous Dove looked.  She wondered quietly if everything was alright in riverclan but said nothing not wanting to put Dove on the spot... she could always ask later.

It seemed like everyone was fairly new to being med cat so she felt not so out of place.  She was starting to get the hang of this even.  Knowing the herbs better and all.

Her transfer from warrior to med cat had not been the easiest but she was growing more confident now.

The rest of her colleges didnt look to be very good at fighting but if anything bothered the med cat group, she felt confident that she could handle it.

Refocusing on things she purred quietly "w-what do you think s-starclan will tell us?"  she asked quietly while they waitied for skyclan to come

Plumpaw arrived a few moments after Fogpaw, slightly annoyed that he had left her behind. She'd only stopped for a moment to investigate a strange noise, and when she looked back he was gone. She couldn't bring herself to stay mad at him though, after all, he was probably just as eager as she was. She turned to the other medicine cats, giving them a wary but friendly nod.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Plumpaw said shyly, shuffling closer to her brother. Well... what now? It seemed like all the medicine cats were here as far as she could remember, though she'd only ever seen them at gatherings. Should they go in, or did they have to wait for some specific sign that it was time? Maybe it would be best to just wait and see what the other cats did.

Dovesight gave a meek smile to Eggpaw, although she made no move to take the cobwebs. She knew they were plentiful everywhere, that was common knowledge to her, not that she would say that out loud.

More cats began to drive, SkyClan it seemed. One of them asked what they did next.

"Are we waiting on anyone else?

Dovesight padded silently in after Fawnshine, grateful that, at least so far, she hadn't screwed up. She also wasn't the only cat confused on what to do. It seemed as though a lot of the medicine cats there tonight were just as new as she was, a fact that made Dovesight a lot calmer in their presence. These were no longer cats that knew so much more than her, that were well beyond her level. She felt a lot more like an equal, rather than the nuisance she had considered herself before.

Lying beside the moonstone, Dovesight closed her eyes, preparing herself for her dream.

Mapleleaf stood before her to greet her in StarClan, and Dovesight beamed at how healthy she looked now. She looked like the cat she should have been had the illness not taken her. But her smile quickly faded as she saw the grim look in her eyes. This was not going to be a comforting visit.

"Something lurks away from the water, wishing to taint everything within."

Before she had a chance to ask any questions, Dovesight was back at the moonstone, the cold ground seeming colder with the chills that ran down her spine. What had Mapleleaf meant? Was RiverClan in danger?

Note: I received permission from Kitty before using Mapleleaf in this way.
