AS HE RAISED HIS FIST BEFORE HE SPOKE — Genuine warmth had finally come to grace Windclan's territory, seeping into every corner that had once been occupied by horrible, agonizing chill. Newleaf had properly arrived and Rattleheart found that she couldn't be happier, enjoying the fact that she could lay in her nest alongside Venomstrike without needing to burrow into him for warmth. Not that he ever seemed to mind - or that she didn't enjoy the fluff crowding her - but it was nice that she could now stretch herself lazily out from their nest without snow biting at her paws the moment they left moss. The lead warrior no longer dreaded the coming of the morning, and instead looked forward to the slow crawl of the sun up from the bottom of the sky. She could enjoy the sunrise once more, shaking herself out as her jaws parted in a yawn.
There was a new scent drifting through the air, sweet and vaguely familiar but not immediately recognizable to the tunneler's senses. Normally that would be enough to set off warning bells in her head, though this time she found herself strangely unconcerned.
It wasn't until she pushed her slim form through the heather tunnel that she identified the source of the fresh smell, a soft gasp leaving her muzzle as the moorlands came properly into view before her. Rather than the sea of white and occasional green that she had grown used to over the past several moons, the moors were overflowing with a growing crowd of colors, wildflowers peeking out from the usual grasses all over. They swayed lightly in the breeze, all in various states of growth as they reached up towards the sunlight edging over the horizon. It was all so beautiful, and smelled so honeyed and enticing that she couldn't help but fling herself forward, throwing up petals in her wake as laughter bubbled forth from her muzzle. "Everyone, come see the fields! Starclan has properly blessed us for newleaf!" She wouldn't even begrudge the kits taking the chance to peer out from the heather tunnel, though she doubted it would be long before the herd of flowers came crawling down into Windclan camp proper as well.
