Nothing made a single noise except for the occasional scratching of claws on rock. The moon shimmered on her cream and white pelt as Runningcloud stood in silence at the mouth of the cave. The sound of blood rushing zoomed in her head. Fireflies fluttered past her head, illuminating amber eyes. Moonlight swam on the glittering rocks, making a path from her to the cave entrance.
Finally, Runningcloud heard a sound: a haunting song that echoed in her ears. Streams of silver light snaked from the cave, surrounding the large orange tabby. She turned to Mouseclaw and Brindletalon. "From here...I must go alone. Thank you for accompanying me...," she said softly, her body gaining a silver hue. She nodded to both of them and turned. Four white cats followed her into the entrance to the Moonshard.
The soothing scent of pine sap filled her nose as she entered the dark cave, guided by the StarClan cats by her side. She came to a large cavern where a large crystal was set in stone. "Beautiful," she whispered, ochre eyes alight. It seemed as if her injuries and scars were healed.
The broad-shouldered tabby sat in front of the crystal and her cat guides vanished into silvery threads of light that danced in mid-air. "You have chosen me. You sent a young StarClan kit to me, to take the place of our former Morninghawk," Runningcloud said, voice steady.
((Spice, Black, can you two be random StarClanners?))

(MMhmm... *yawn* I'm so tired...)
Mouseclaw nodded at his former deputy grimly and sat down, feeling a chill wind ruffle his fur. The dark, ominous clouds that had been crowding the moon all of the evening parted, and Silverpelt unleashed its glory on the two remaining cats. Mouseclaw felt warmth rush through him. StarClan was satisfied, and he'd helped make it that way. He took a deep breath of air and settled down for a wait.
A silvery, misty shape materialized in front of the large she-cat, and through the stars adorning her pelt, she was a cream color with brown streaks running through her fur. It was Butterflypaw of CloudClan. She smiled warmly at the somewhat distant-looking cat, and spoke. "Thank you for coming, Runningcloud." Her voice was a wisp of breath that played at the other's ears, wheedling and lilting, pleasant and welcoming. "I suppose you're wondering who I am.'' She hadn't stopped smiling yet. "I'm Butterflypaw, from CloudClan-and I come with one other on the behalf of all of Silverpelt." She blinked slowly and continued. "Your Clan needs you to be strong, Runningcloud. You will be a medicine cat, and serve SerenityClan full and well, with the privelege to communicate with StarClan." She began to get rather fuzzy around the edges, then came back into focus, this time with a rather worried look in her eyes. "You must tell Jasminestar that she cannot rely on dreams unless they come from here-- some dark force has infiltrated the Clans."
Sablestar, on his cloud up in the stars, hissed quietly. He tried to break through, but the apprentice's message must have been too important. He broke in for a moment and stared through the opening he'd made. He chuckled and the gap closed. "This is good, very, very good." He was gaining control of even StarClan's sole communications with the Clans.. soon, he would rule all of them.

Runningcloud lowered her head to Butterflypaw and then her eyes widened. "You know Octoberlies? He was mumbling your name at the medicine cat den," she said softly. The large she-cat paused, nodding at Butterflypaw's words when directed about Jasminestar. "When I was a deputy, I had a bad feeling about it. One of our kits is missing. Are you guiding them to this dark force, to fight them?" The tabby looked anxious and worried towards Butterflypaw before relaxing with a deep sigh. "Thank you for your words, StarClan apprentice..."

Butterflypaw's eyes grew soft and misty at Octoberlies' name. "Yes, I knew him. He's alright, I gather?" But when the cat asked another question, she answered immidiately. "We are taking care of the kits; one is from each Clan. They may be gone for a while, and may not return as many as they left." She opened her mouth to say more, but she suddenly disappeared.

Runningcloud had her head down. "Yes, he is well. Injured, but well," she said quietly. "And I'm glad the kits are safe but what--?" She looked up but Butterflypaw had disappeared. Runningcloud sighed and walked forward where Butterflypaw once stood, touching her nose to the Moonshard. Explosions of lights and whispered sound fired everywhere. She felt warmth caress her body.

ooc:Sorry i was late, should i just not post as a Starclanner cos its kinda late 
bic: Brindletalon nodded and sat down next to Mouseclaw, brushing his flank with his. "Remember when we were last here? With Jasminestar" he whispered, smiling at the memory. They had been with their friends, Octoberlies and Snowflake. Octoberlies he thought, a cloud of worry covering his eyes. He was worried about his friend. He glanced at Mouseclaw and knew he must be feeling the same about Pastelsky. He looked forwards into the silvery light of the Moonshard and prayed that his friends would be ok. [/center][/color] |

((You could add something random if you want. I'm about to))
A young tabby apprentice drifted in front of Runningcloud, smiling. "My name is Sagepaw," he said softly and shyly. He reached up and touched the large she-cat's nose. Soft red light poured from them, enveloping the two in warmth. Runningcloud's eyes opened and Sagepaw's body was wisping away.
"Thank you, StarClan. Is there anything else I should know before I depart?" the medicine cat asked quietly.

ooc: Aurora i took Howling from your audition but i dont know what he looks like sorry :S
bic: The shadowy form of Howlingwind materialised in front of Runningcloud. He smiled proudly at his former apprentice and stepped forwards. "Runningcloud, though it may not feel like it it is your desting to become medicine cat for SerenityClan. You have made me proud and i know you will continue to do so. I will always be with you" he said in a voice which seemed to whisper with the wind. He smiled one last time and began to disappear with the other members of StarClan. [/center][/color] |

Mouseclaw felt safe with his friend's pelt brushing his, feeling Brindletalon's heartbeat faintly through his own thick gray fur. "Yeah. It feels like it was moons ago, but it was only a few days." He murmured quietly, thinking distantly of Octoberlies. He'd be okay, they knew that much- but he was unconscious, and he was muttering strange things under his breath that worried Mouseclaw. But Pastelsky, he hadn't seen scince immidiately after the battle. What had happened? He shuddered to think of her lying in the medicine cat's den, barely breathing, bloody and mangled- but she'd looked okay when he last saw her. He sighed despondently and forced himself to stop daydreaming. He knew Runningcloud would be out soon- and as the new medicine cat. When he got back to camp, he'd look for Pastelsky.

((That's fine. You got his personality right ^^ He would say something like that))
Runningcloud's eyes filled with joyous tears. "Thank you, Howlingwind," she sobbed, hanging her head. "I will return strong and forever make you proud." She lifted up her head, tears drying. "I am a medicine cat of SerenityClan."
The she-cat exited the den, bearing a glow of silver until she reached Brindletalon and Mouseclaw. "Are you ready to go home? I'm afraid you'll have to beat someone else in battle," she grinned.

Mouseclaw smiled wearily. " Oh, yes, Runningcloud. I'm so-" He stopped. He wanted to say worried, but he yawned fakely and continued. "Tiiiiireeed.." And, of course, he was. But he was more worried about Pastelsky than anything.. and he was horribly hungry.

Runningcloud laughed with the gentleness of a medicine cat. "You still have that yawning bit, Mousepaw?" she teased, purposely calling him his apprentice name. She glanced at Mouseclaw and Brindletalon. "Let's go home, all of us," she said quietly.

ooc: Lol well thats okay then
bic: Brindletalon nodded and then turned to Runningcloud. "Yeah, lets go home, I'm starved!" he said, looking at Mouseclaw. He knew his friend was worried about Pastelsky. he felt the same, and for Octoberlies too. "She'll be fine you know" he said to Mouseclaw, smiling bravely. He stepped forwards and then waited for Runningcloud to take the lead. [/center][/color] |

Mouseclaw smiled at Runningcloud's joke, and pushed himself to his paws to stand beside Brindletalon. "She'll be fine, y'know." He started at his friends comforting words, then grinned at him. "I know. I just can't help but worry. Her, and Octoberlies.. we can't lose them now." He glanced back at Runningcloud, knowing she would lead them back to camp.

Runningcloud smiled at Brindletalon and Mouseclaw. "StarClan is watching them right now, all of our Clan. Don't worry. If they went to walk with StarClan, I would've been the first to know," she said kindly. The large ginger tabby fluffed up her fur and twitched her tail in the direction of SerenityClan. She dipped her head and began to lead the way tiredly home.
((I'll post in SerenityClan))

Mouseclaw smiled thankfully at the medicine cat, and followed her back to camp with baited breath.OOC: Okay. If you want, post in the old thread, 'cause I know that's where Pastelsky posted as being..
