It had been an honor that Moonbeam had been allowed to bear witness to the ceremony very few would ever be able experience from the living side of things. She'd remained silent through it all, watching with baited breath as Lichentail - now Lichenstar - had received each life, and as Smokestar had given the final life and shared his words of wisdom with the new leader she had heard her own name, he spoke of the troubles in StarClan, the fact that things were strange there and then and there that was when the medicine cat knew it was time. She needed to share the omens she had received with the leader of RiverClan, and since that hadn't been Smokestar it would have to be Lichenstar... and she was more okay with this than she had originally thought. They'd never been close like she had been with Smokestar but she was trusted, she was smart, she was a good cat, and maybe one day they'd get there. It wasn't long after they got back and settled once more did Moonbeam seek out the new leader.
"Lichenstar?" She'd mew out, ears pricked as she looked to the other. "There's something I need to talk to you about, omens from StarClan." There wasn't a big sense of urgency, a tell that it wasn't about the clan or Lichenstar herself. When they moved to where prying ears wouldn't be able to hear she would turn back to the other once more, a small sigh coming through her before maw opened and words began to come out.
"Smokestar mentioned strange things in StarClan, I received two omens... one I'm sure is StarClan related and the other I'm not. I've been trying to figure them out myself, but it's time I bring another into it." It was not expected of medicine cats to share their omens, and she didn't know how often Ravensong would share his with Cicadastar or Smokestar, and she could only hope that she was doing the right thing by bringing this burden onto the cat in the clan who already held so many in her now nine lives. Well, one wasn't really an omen per-say, but it was close enough in Moonbeam's eyes. "I was told of a fog that appeared in StarClan when Sootstar died. The StarClanners don't know what it is but they know that it's dangerous." It was scary to think what it meant, even scarier to think that the ancestors who so many had believed had all the answers in fact did not.
She'd let the words be for a moment as she watched for Lichenstar's reaction before continuing on. ""The next happened at the last meeting, when I received my name. 'Beware the darkness a forgotten enemy brings.'" It came out easily, practiced words repeated over and over in her head as she tried to figure out what it meant, who the enemy could be or the darkness they reside in.
