Falconstorm
37 MOONS, MEDICINE CAT OF TREECLAN
He hadn't thought he'd be making this journey alone so soon. Bluejay had been younger than him, still in her prime and with much more good she could have done for the clan. To have her taken so swiftly, on the tail ends of the ravages of greencough, was a heartbreaking blow. He was exhausted, still thin from all the stress and running about he'd done with the sick of TreeClan. The herb stores were low, there were queens and kits and clanmates all expecting him to help them with the normal things that happened. A thorn stuck in an apprentice's paw, a first time queen worried if she'd be a good mother. A clan expecting him to carry on. But he had outlived his mentor, who was also his junior. Where was the sense in that?
Falconstorm's heart was heavy as he climbed the path towards Moon Tree. He was silent, even at the coaxing of his guard to the contrary. There was nothing to talk about. He'd failed Bluejay. She'd needed him, and he'd failed to save her. The large tom widened his steps, determined not to let the nightmares that plagued him follow him to this sacred place. So much had happened in so short a frame of time, and he wondered if StarClan would give him some form of solace when he finally slept beneath the light of Moon Tree. Would Bluejay come to see him? Would he see anything at all, divided as he still was.
No one knew about his semi-frequent meetings with the StoneClan she-cat Herondive, nor of his growing feelings towards her. Nothing he could ever act on, as a Medicine Cat, but it remained. Funny, how fate gave him the perfect female right as he'd chosen a path where he'd never have her properly in his life. No mate, no kits, no great romance. Just the endless, lonely path of the Medicine Cat.
StarClan was cruel.
He took a deep breath as they finally arrived, letting his mind go blank. Now was the time to focus on the task at hand, not on the troubles of his mind. He sat down and waited for the others to arrive. He'd arrived first, he realized. And no Bluejay at his side. Another soft prayer to StarClan, and a final wish for no new faces this time. No more bad news.
MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
