Starlingpaw has been to the moonstone one other time before. She remembers the tunnel, her whiskers brushing against each side, remembers the cavern it opens up into. It is all so familiar but all so strange at the same time. Her head is spinning. Not too long ago she had woken up, she had been Starlingpaw. She had not expected things to go crumbling away so fast, had not expected to be thrust into full medicine cat duties so soon. I thought I had more time. What a fool she had been to believe her aunt was anything other than the cat she had been showing herself to be all along. Starlingpaw cannot help but wonder how long she had been planning this, how long it had been coming. Had she always wanted to leave and was just looking for the right excuse? Everyone left in the end, she was quickly learning.
None of that mattered now, now she would share dreams with Star Clan. The thought sent an excited shiver down her spine. Selfishly, she hopes she gets to see her mother. At the end of the day she was still a child, after all, one who missed their mom. Her heart keels at the thought and she holds that hope in mind as she lays down on the smooth, cold floor and presses her nose to the stone. Like Bonejaw showed me, she thought bitterly.
When her eyes open next she lets out a small gasp. She finds herself in a meadow, the tall grass softly swaying around her, the breeze lulling her into a peaceful state of mind and the sunshine soft, golden. "Where am I?" she asks, her voice, full of wonder, barely a whisper. She finds in it that she does not stutter. Not here. It is such a relief to not trip over nearly every word that comes out of her mouth that her eyes start watering. She looks around her with wide, green eyes. Was this- was she in Star Clan?
