When Starlingheart presses her nose to the moonstone, sleep overtakes her body with a quickness that she has not felt in a long while now. Darkness folds her into a comforting blanket of stillness, one where she is plagued by no nightmares, no constant twitching of limbs and singular eye flying wide, searching the shadows for the glint of teeth and poisonous green eyes that haunts her dreams. This peaceful void is one she wishes she could stay in, a much needed rest that would never come to her in normal circumstances, but it is not long after she falls asleep that she finds herself opening her eye again.
It is not to the gray walls of cave and stone though. No, when she wakes it is to a forest alight with star shine. her heart roars in her chest, hopeful and melancholy in equal measure as she scans the treeline for a star-dusted black and white pelt. Would Magpiepaw be here, she wonders, or was he lost to her in a different way? She is not sure which answer she would prefer if she is being totally honest with herself.
When finally a figure emerges from the shadows she does not feel disappointment. How could she ever feel anything but elation at the prospect of being reunited with such a dear friend? But questions do begin to race in her mind. "Berryheart, it is good to see you again" she says dipping her head respectfully.
She also knows that, while it would be nice, it was rare for StarClanners to walk in dreams without reason and so when formalities are aside, she scans his features, searching for a clue as to what troubled him. Her mind goes to the eclipse and then to the last time she saw her son, the warning laid upon his tongue. "May I ask you one thing... Is Magpiepaw-is he here?" Her lone eye betrays the sadness she feels, the anguish behind the question. Was he dead or was he still out there, somewhere? She had to know before her friend delivered whatever message he had been sent here to give to her. Surely, he of anyone else would understand the urgency, the desperate need to know her apprentices fate.
