The Journey [Ferretpaw]

The moonlight shimmered over the valley which lay at the base of Talonclan's mountainous home. The supple grasses of Greenleaf swaying in a soft breeze, the song of crickets echoing over the land. It was a peaceful night for a journey just as a certain tom had hoped. Redcloud had finally decided upon making a trip to the skyfield. He'd been there once before as an apprentice. but he'd been so worked up over the idea of seeing his deceased sister Smallkit no cats had appeared to him. He'd lied when his mentor had asked him about it saying he'd spoken with his ancestors, afraid he'd be held back from becoming a warrior if the others of his clan new he'd seen nothing.

 Now as he glanced to the starpelt he silently wondered which of the millions of glittering stars was his sister. Did she watch over him? Was she even up there? What if her sickness had prevented her from joining his ancestors? All these thoughts swirled about in the tom's head as he leapt down the last bit of rock face and onto the flat valley ground. Unaccustomed to the feeling of soft grass beneath his paws, it took the tom some getting used to as he set a steady pace in the direction of the skyfield. Going off his memory of his journey moons before he hoped starclan would guide his paws in the right direction. His luxurious fluffy reddish tabby fur glowing in the moonlight he looked like a red mass as he weaved through the long valley grass, his paws silent. His mind lost in thoughts, and memories.

Morningwhisper moved at a fast to the Sky field lost in her thoughts as she let her paws and mind guide her to the sacred area. Sighing the dilute calico's paws pounded silently against the familiar ground. Morningwhisper's been to the Sky field plenty of times to know where she was putting her paws at least. Though her thoughts were a bit bitter as she thought of rejection. What if my ancestors don't speak to me this time? Of course they will, right? Coming into attenton she realized she was about to crash in a large thing of red fur! Morningwhisper let out a large screeech, bracing for impact.

Redcloud had been so lost in his own thoughts he failed to notice he was not alone. Someone else traveled the valley's soft grasses and now that someone was barreling his way. Surprised Redcloud managed to leap to the side avoiding a collision by just a hair, literally his fur brushed the she-cat's as he leapt to the side. Rolling he grunts and stands his red and white pelt littered with bits of grass. " W-who's there!?" He calls his luxurious long fur standing on end slightly, his muscles tensed. Was this an attack? Or did he just happen to nearly ram into the only other cat around at this time of night? Blinking his golden amber eyes which glimmered in the moonlight he attempts to get a better look at the cat before him.

Morningwhisper tumbled over here paws and fell face first into dry dirt. It stuck to her short and thick fur, as her heart pounded in the dilute calico's chest. Surprised and feeling slight pain in her back she snapped on the red tom, scenting mountains on his fur. "Watch your s-step!" Morningwhisper hissed fiery, though there was a tremble in her voice. Foolish TalonClan tom! Breathing heavily, the dilute calico she-ct attempted to flee in the long grass hoping he wouldn't give chase. She just needed to regain composure. Morningwhisper didn't want him to know she was a bit frightened.

Redcloud could hear what seemed like fear in the voice of the she-cat who snapped at him. Settling his fur some, he realizes it was not an attack. This cat whoever she was had merely run into him. Or as she claimed he'd run into her. " Whoa!" He says but before he could say anything more the she-cat was scrambling away from him. " I'm not going to attack you." He calls out shifting his paws some, his golden amber eyes flashing in the moonlight. " but if you keep running in that direction you'll be in my clan's territory." He didn't much want to chase this cat from his territory. Scenting the air amongst the confusion he deciphers a fishy scent mixed with pine sap coming off the retreating feline. What is a stomclanner doing out here? He wondered, no longer able to see the she-cat he falls silent ears flickering. Would she come back?

Morningwhisper huffed stopping as soon as she realized he was right. She would go into to enemy territory, Morningwhisper wouldn't be able to deny that she knew. Know it all... Flatting out her ruffled fur she padded back to the area. Morningwhisper could feel her pads tingling with anticipation. "Hello? Sorry for running like that I-I'm Morningwhisper.. Warrior of StormClan.."
