Posted 2022-02-28 19:21:00 (edited) #679763 Moonwing looked at him and sighed. She said "Yes she died I tried my best but even I can't force a cat to eat. Though I tried to get her to sadly she had caught a serious sickness due to her not eating and um.. Well she passed away." She looked at him as she said this ignoring her father at the moment. She then said " That leads me to my question have you seen her at all?" She knew that medicine cats couldn't save everyone but it still nagged at her. She hoped that Silverblossom made it to Star clan. She had always wondered about how she was doing now. Moonwing remembered about how she found her father. She was at the moon pool when she met him.

Posted 2022-03-02 15:54:50 #682138 Even if Swirlstripe had already known - or better guessed - the answer, Moonwing's words still pierced his heart. It felt like a heavy claw was clenching at it, making him feel some sort of pain he had never felt before in his whole life. His mother was dead, because of him. Because he had been such a carefree warrior not taking things as serious as he should. Because of his stupid mistake she died. Starving herself and then getting sick. He could imagine how Moonwing tried her best to save her, but it was impossible to save a cat, who'd given up herself and lost her will to live. "I'm sure your did your best in trying the save her...", his voice was raw, full of emotion and he needed to swallow, before he could went on "Thank you for doing so. I really appreciate it." Whilst speaking Swirlstripe politely dipped his head to the medicine cat, though avoided eye contact with her. It wasn't her fault that Silverblossom died and he didn't blame her. Instead Swirlstripe blamed himself. Maybe his mother did as well, because so far he'd never seen her familiar pelt among the StarClan warriors. Was she avoiding him, because she hated him? She wasn't that old and could have probably lived for many, many moons. If her careless son didn't try to fight that fox alone...! Swirlstripe growled inside his mind, the fur on his neck once again bristling. "No. No I haven't seen her at all.", Swirlstripe replied almost sounding frustrated. "But she has to be there! My mother wasn't a bad cat, was she? She has to be in StarClan!", once again he looked pleadingly at Moonwing as if the young RiverClan medicine cat knew all the answers in said situation.

Moonwing said "Did you by chance have a father? When she was able to she looked him in the eyes trying not to give her emotions away. She thought he is a pretty handsome cat...What im i thinking i cant im a medicine cat. She looked around still seeing her father there but soon after he had left when she turned around. Moonwing couldn't help wonder why her father was here but she left that alone looking at Swirlstripe. She asked "How old are you?" She looked away not wanting to be caught blushing because she knew it was forbidden. She walked out of her den and decided to take a short walk to collect herbs. She hoped the Swrilstripe would follow her. Moonwing looked behind her to make sure. She then turned back and started to walk.

Posted 2022-03-03 19:04:38 #683812 Swirlstripe had no idea what he should say, what he could reply to Moonwing's words. Nothing good or fitting came across his mind, so he kept silent and lowered his gaze onto his shimmering paws. Can a soul really get lost on its way to StarClan? I always thought one or more cats would welcome the newcomer and lead them into StarClan's hunting grounds... Swirlstripe thought to himself, briefly flicking his ears. He actually had no idea. He wasn't as smart or wise as some other StarClan cats. After all he had only been a warrior for a few moons until he died. He still lacked wisdom as well as experience. Though it hurt him more than anything, that the spirit of his mother might have gotten lost somewhere on its way to StarClan. Or she didn't want to see his son ever again as she blamed him not only for his, but also her death as well. "I...I could ask Sorrelstar, I guess....", he muttered after a long moment of heavy silence. "She's one of the wisest cat I've met in StarClan yet. She once led RiverClan many, many seasons ago. And she was know as one of the wisest leaders. And one of the oldest.", Swirlstripe went on, still looking at his paws. It wouldn't hurt asking Sorrelstar later, if she probably knew more. Maybe she could really help him. Maybe she'd also seen his mother somewhere in StarClan. "My father's name is Frozentail. But he was never that interested in me or my littermates. I wouldn't call him father anyway, because he didn't care.", the dead warrior replied, sounding somewhat bitter. But one moment later he looked somewhat confused as Moonwing's question had caught him somewhat off-guard. "Well, I'm 24 moons old. Or at least I was...when I died.", Swirlstripe meowed an answer, still looking quite confused, before asking "Why are you asking?" But to his surprise the medicine cat wasn't responding and instead got up and left her den. For a moment Swirlstripe just sat there all confused on his own, but then he also rose to his paws and followed her outside. "Where are we going?", he asked, when he finally had caught up with her again.

Posted 2022-03-03 19:45:11 (edited) #683846 Moonwing said "I need to collect some herbs and also I'm 2 and 1/2 years old ." ( I don't know how old that would be in moons^^') Moonwing finally got out of camp and started to Look around for herbs and she spotted so.e Narrow and started to collect it. Moonwing said " If you want I can teach you some stuff that I know in Hunting/Fighting but also herbs. " She looked at him after she had finished collecting the Yarrow she only took 5 stems of yarrow. She continued to walk looking for some juniper berries. She heard his question and stopped. She said "Because I knew you when you where born but I left the nursery before you could remember."

Posted 2022-03-04 06:18:08 #684020 "I see.", was all that Swirlstripe meowed, when Moonwing answered his questions. But not, because he wasn't interested, just more because he felt somewhat stupid. He could have thought of her leaving the den and also camp, because she needed to go and look for herbs. Medicine cats always need herbs as even a well filled supply can run out quite quickly. "Any specific herbs you are looking for?", the StarClan warrior asked, whilst looking back at her. For a moment he just looked at her, before looking around and briefly sniffing the air. Everything seemed the way he remembered it. And it really felt good being back in his old territory. Swirlstripe really missed it, even if StarClan's hunting ground were beautiful plus rich of prey. "That would be awesome! I am always up for learning new stuff!", Swirlstripe replied, his tail flicking excitedly through the air. "But I have to warn you: I am already a great hunter as well as fighter!", he teased her playfully puffing up his chest, before purring with amusement. That walk with Moonwing really helped making him feel better and distract him from his painful and sad thoughts. She really was a great cat! And a pretty one too. Her next words cut him out of his thoughts again, making Swirlstripe realize that he maybe had stared a tad too long at the beautiful white spots on her otherwise glossy black fur. "Ah I see. Well, I remember you being the medicine cat apprentice way back, but I was always so focused on my warrior training... It's sad that I didn't get to know you earlier, because you're a really nice and friendly cat, Moonwing. And I bet you're also an awesome medicine cat.", Swirlstripe briefly dipped his head and then blinked back friendly at her.

I might have to go into different territory for these.I can tell you where some of these herbs are if you want. Moonwing continued to walk looking for the Adler bark first. She for some and gathered it but she also took a leave to carry the herbs in. She turned to Swirlstripe and asked "Are you able to carry these?" She looked at him waiting for a response. She had heard his last Sentence and tried to keep her composer.

Posted 2022-03-09 08:09:48 #689050 Swirlstripe flicked his ears when Moonwing told him all the herbs she was actually looking for. "That's quite the list.", the StarClan warrior meowed. "I don't even know, if I know all these herbs and plants. Of course I've heard some of their names, but I have no clue how they look like or how they smell. Plants look quite the same to me. Always green, some with some colorful blossoms and stuff.", he went on speaking already quite impressed be Moonwing's knowledge. She probably knew even more herbs, whilst Swirlstripe would only find catnip on his own, because of it's typical smell. "I hope you won't meet another Clan's patrol, if you have to cross the borders. Some warriors are even hostile in front of medicine cats...", Swirlstripe threw in, before nodding excitedly "Of course I want to know! Herbs sound pretty interesting.", he added and continued to walk along. Curiously he watched how Moonwing gathered some of the plants from her list, but when she asked him, if he could carry some the StarClan warrior looked quite uneasy. He wasn't lazy and he wanted to help her, but he wasn't so sure, if he was able to do so. After all StarClan cats couldn't interact with the living world or could they? "Uhm...I would love to help, but I am not so sure, if I can do so...", he meowed, sounding as uneasy as he looked. "I don't think I can touch or carry these, but I can give it a try.", Swirlstripe went on, before he bowed his head and tried to grab those plants with his teeth. He really tried, but in the end couldn't interact with those herbs, so his ears dropped for a moment. "I am sorry. It looks like I am no help to you... Just a nuisance, that distracts you from your work...", he meowed sadly and for a moment he thought of leaving and going back to StarClan, but in the end he stayed with Moonwing.

Posted 2022-03-10 12:15:46 (edited) #690336 Moonwing looked at Swirlstripe and said "That is okay but how about i teach you about other herbs if you want to follow me i can teach you one."  Moonwing smiled at Swirlstripe happy to have company and to teach someone about herbs. She turned and started to walk to an area she knew had cobwebs and stopped right at a gatherig of black berry bushes so she was able to check off three herbs. She turned to Swirlstripe and said "This bush is a Blackberry bush which is where you can find Blackberries and blackberry leaves but also cobwebs why don't you take a sniff."  Moonwing took some of the black berries and blackberry leaves and put them in the bundle and then went over to grab some cobwebs after she was done Moonwing walked back over to Swirlstripe and sat down.

Posted 2022-03-11 08:00:56 #691169 Swirlstripe still felt kinda useless next to Moonwing. If I wouldn't be dead, I could have carried all those herbs for her... he thought kinda frustrated and had a hard time to suppress a hiss. He was a StarClan cat and stories always made StarClan sound powerful or special. But he wasn't special. He couldn't even carry a few herbs. He was useless. Just a ghost, who could visit the living but not help them. There was nothing cool or special about that and for once Swirlstripe hated the fact that he had died so young. There were so many things he always wanted to do, but now he couldn't. Moonwing's voice helped him to snap out of his depressing thoughts and for a moment he only stared blankly at the pretty medicine cat, before the life returned into his starry eyes. "I'll gladly tag along to learn about those herbs.", Swirlstripe answered slowly as he walked alongside her until she stopped in front of a bush. Said bush looked like any other bush to him, but he had never paid much attention to plants or herbs, when he was alive. So he didn't knew that this was a blackberry bush until Moonwing told him so. "Blackberries...", he muttered to himself and then took a good sniff on the dark berries, trying to memorize their aromatic scent. "Well, I can see the berries as well as the leaves, but where do you find cobwebs here?", Swirlstripe had to ask, as he hadn't seen anything of those sticky threads around here.
