The Mooncave

The Mooncave is located up a narrow, steep path that edges the side of the river; the fall can be deadly if a misstep is placed, however by natural wind, the path has been widened over the moons. At the end of this path is the entrance to a cave, where a light seems to glisten even in the darkness.

Inside the Mooncave is a haven, which was once thought about to be FrostClan's camp. The walls are lined with ledges and hollows, and the rarest of herbs can be found in its shelters. A stream runs through the middle of the cave which seems to mirror the river of the territories, and in the spot where the Gathering Island would be is a large, clear stone, that sparkles brightly as the moon hits it.

Medicine cats are encouraged to either touch their nose to the stone or drink water before sleeping to meet with SoulClan.

Medicine cat meeting rules

- This territory is obviously sacred. If you wish for your cat to come here, please contact me first!
- Obviously, don't spam or anything.
Note for roleplayers: If your character is dreaming, please use italics to indicate.

Roseleaf padded around the corner of the entrance to the Mooncave, glancing up and seeing the clouds on the horizon. "We might not be able to dream with SoulClan tonight," she hummed, looking at Hazelflight.

"Perhaps they will make an allowance?" Hazelflight mewed, "If the weather dictated whether or not they could talk, they could be silent for seasons with a bit of misfortune."

"That's true." Roseleaf purred, a little amused.

"We still have to wait a bit." Hazelflight frowned, looking at the orange-cast clouds on the horizon and flattening her ears at a cold drop of rain.

Roseleaf nodded and settled down beside one of the rocks, out of the wind, waiting.

Hazelflight followed after her, quickening her pace as the drizzle began. She huddled beneath the stone next to Roseleaf, visibly shivering. 
"When was the last time we went to a half-moon gathering?" she asked suddenly.

Roseleaf thought for a moment. "Probably two moons ago?"

"Is the code around these parts somehow different, or is this literally like, a breach of the divine rights of SoulClan or some mouse-dung like that." she snorted.

Roseleaf snorted a little. "It is a breach, yes."

Hazelflight looked up at the sky. Thick storm clouds were rolling in over the hills and flattening her ears. "We should go into the cave now." she mewed.

Roseleaf followed her friend's gaze, and nodded quickly. "Lead the way."

Hazelflight led the way into the cave.
OOC: Hazelflight didn't want to describe the cave bc she had no idea what it looke dlike

Roseleaf kept close to Hazelflight until they'd reached the main cave, and the faint light coming in from the roof struck the floor and set it alight with colours. "I've missed this," she breathed softly.

Hazelflight nodded in agreement. "We should hurry, before the storm rolls in." she meowed urgently, trotting to the center.

Roseleaf nodded, dipping her paw into the small spring in the middle of the room and licking the water off it, almost immediately feeling drowsy. "I...sleep well," she managed with a brief purr before settling down.

Hazelflight nervously settled down next to her and took a lap of the starry water, feeling immediate drowsiness and setting her head on her paws.

Hazelflight squinted at the other cat, not recognizing them at all. "Hello?" she called to the stranger. "They have a completely different set of ancestors than we did" she remembered.

Roseleaf shook her head. "I'm not...I don't know them," she admitted. 
"Who we are doesn't matter." The calico shecat flicked her tail. "But we have been here far longer than you could have imagined." 
Creekstar dipped his head then opened his mouth to speak, but one voice seemed to surround them, coming from the mouth of each of the seven SoulClan cats. 
"As bright day sinks towards dusk again, the mountains and the seas will rebel. Brother against brother will see all suffer losses, but the family has to return as the outside crashes in."

Ooc: as Bright and Dusk grow closer, fire frost and water will rebel. Foretelling of the massive battle in Bright's moors, but they'll have to band together as the rogues start attacking.

Hazelflight blinked in surprise. She hadn't received a prophecy from SoulClan in ages. "W-what?"

Roseleaf frowned, repeating the prophecy to herself quietly then gasping as the cats started to fade away. "W-wait!" she yowled, standing and promptly walking into the cool water of the spring with a gasp as she woke.

Hazelflight stood in the brightness alone, looking around. Roseleaf had faded from the dream. "H-hello? Hello?" she called. The silvery light around her faded to grey, then slowly into black. She saw a familiar looking cat lighting up the world a few fox-lengths away. 
"Kitestar?"


Hazelflight awoke with a gasp.

Ooc: aw Kitestar

Ic: Roseleaf shook herself off irritably, then glanced up and saw that the storm was still raging on. "Well."

"Are we stuck here?" Hazelflight whispered, looking up and seeing that clouds had covered the moon and the cave was no longer lit.

Roseleaf shrugged. "In any case, we must talk to the other medicine cats. We can't let the clans fight!" She fluffed her fur out.

"I think that's important and all, but we really need to figure out what to do in our current situation." Hazelflight grumbled.

Roseleaf stretched a little and walked towards the entrance to the Mooncave. "Hm..."

"I guess we just have to wait it out." Hazelflight sighed, scrambling up a ledge on the cave and lying down on a small crag.

Roseleaf watched her. "You're comfortable in here?" she asked, tilting her head a little.

"Yeah." Hazelflight murmured, "It's like my old camp." She sighed and closed her eyes, the rock shielding her for the most part from the wind.

Roseleaf managed to pick her way up, slipping a little before she reached the ledge. "Do you miss it?" she asked, settling down beside her fellow medicine cat.

ooc: *cough* the GAY *cough*

OOC: The 2am pm prophecy fulfilled.
IC: "Yeah." she sighed, looking at her paws. "It was practically the only home I ever knew. I think I was a kitty-pet at one point, but I don't remember it at all. Most of my kithood memories are exploring the meadows up until EchoClan found me."

Roseleaf purred gently with amusement. "I didn't realise you'd been a kittypet. You look nothing but a Clan cat." She leaned against her friend a little.

"Well, most EchoClan cats when I was growing up started out as loners or kittypets." Hazelflight sighed, "The Clan was young and needed members."

Roseleaf nodded, fluffing her fur a little. "I see. It must've been cool having so many cats from different backgrounds."

"No one much had interesting stories." Hazelflight mewed, "Aside from the cats who started the Clan, which there weren't that many of."

Roseleaf flinched as a crack of thunder echoed through the cave. "Still. Any story that isn't the typical Clan story is cool." She purred a little.

"Typical Clan stories are pretty cool sometimes." Hazelflight shrugged, "Like the founders?"

Roseleaf purred. "Not to be biased but Brightstar was by far my favourite."

Hazelflight snorted. "I wonder why." she giggled sarcastically, her mind going back to the strangers in SoulClan for a reason she did not know.

Roseleaf awoke with a gasp. "Hazelflight!" she nudged her fellow medicine cat awake. "We overslept!"

"Ughhhh, I'm so tired." Hazelflight complained. Wait, our leader's paranoid. Oops.

Roseleaf stood and shook herself out. "We need to leave, now." She started to panic a little.

"Okay, okay." Hazelflight grumbled, trotting out of the cave and into the freshly fallen snow directly outside.

Roseleaf frowned. "Snow? Really?!" She growled.
