Ebony pelt and Ivory eye

[Silverthroat]

Feathers falling from the night

Silverthroat walked over to a nest carved into the ground by body after bony of sick cats that had laid there. It was lined with mass, feathers and pelts of all foods the same. She gently dropped Umberpaw there and ran off to find herbs to help the wounded cat. When she came back, Silverthroat started to place more bandages on Umberpaw's wounds she asked "Do you think Starclan chose you, or you chose Starclan?" It was a simple question, but one that must be answered in time for a medicine cat. Silverthroat's mentor asked her that same question, and same with her mentors, all the way back.

And an angel in the corner of your fright

[.::Umberwings]

“Is neither an option?”

Was the…tiny black apprentice getting smart with her mentor? No, although the words could be considered so in another cat, there was nothing more then seriousness in the small fae.

“I believe a cat is born to follow their fate. Theirs is no choice about it – you are born with the path you are to follow.”

She looked around then den – yellow hues bright and curious even though the hide the pain that crippled her still.

“I never got to tell Honeymist…”

[Silverthroat]

Lets drop a star from the sky

Silverthroat cocked her head at her apprentice, those words where wise, and maybe true. Could each cat have a set path drawn for them, that they would willingly follow? Silverthroat shook the idea from her head. But she couldn’t help thinking maybe that was why Whisperstar left. The she-cat went on pressing bandages onto the ebony pelt. Her eye's shown a eary starlit color, bathed in pitty for the young cat, from the moon light that rippled through the cascading water that blocked the entrance of the cave. "Umberpaw, can you tell me what herbs I may be pressing under the cob-webs? I will give you hint, some for infection, a little to help it scab and heal faster, then some to keep it all healthy. Just take a wild guess." The herbs that Silverthroat was asking the young cat to name where rare to other medicine cats. Silverthroat knew the ins and outs of every herb, and was more then happy to teach Umberpaw about ever one of them.

I wonder who may die...

[.::Umberwings]

“Um….the root of a Chervil plant can help treat infections. So can…wild garlic right?”

Umberpaw tilted her head, trying to think of all the herbs she knew…or didn’t know, actually. It was remarkable what dreams could hold for a cat, when one chose to listen to them.

“Can’t marigold and horsetail also be used to treat infections?”

Yellow hues flicked to Silverthroat, a million questions burning within them.

“There’s so many I don’t know.”

[To Clan's Return - briefly while I wait for a response. ^^]

[Silverthroat]

Ooc| So sorry it took so long. My computer died!

All the emotion blowing my mind

Silverthroat purred and nodded to Umberpaw.
"You will learn all in good time, all in good time."
With that Silverthroat placed the herbs on the cuts, cobwebs on top and the herbs to be eaten where placed in front of the small-looking cat with some cat-nip to make it more appetizing. She sat back and watched quietly. It was hard to tell whether she was waiting to be bombarded with questions or was just thinking.

Driving me crazy over time

Ooc| -braindead-

[Shadow Spirit]

OOC: Just thought I'd let you know that I am not excluding you two from the Gathering, but I wanted to make sure Umberpaw had healed first and that Silvethroat was there to treat her ^^;

[Silverthroat]

Ooc| Thats ok ^^ i was the right thing to do, plus I'm not as active as I wish i was so i may not have made it >.>;;

[.::Umberwings]

[OOC – Hopefully they’ll make the next one. ^^ But Silver was right, it was a wise decision.]

“I hope so.”

Umberpaw nodded slightly, as silence gripped Silverthroat’s den. Was she waiting for her to speak? Umberpaw lifted her head, about to ask something, but the words died so simply as soon as they went to fall from grace from her little maw. Brilliant wise yellow hues – so off and odd looking on such a young cat, fell to the herbs before her on the floor. Instead of eating them, one small paw went out, shuffling the herbs and eyeing each different one she saw.

Analyzing. Identifying.

Umberpaw wanted to learn – no, wanted was too mild a word. Needed – needed to prove herself more that that cannibal fela who was her mother. Needed to be something.

To prove, most of all to herself, that she was better than Heartless. That she could do something with her life – to help and heal others.

[Silverthroat]

Silverthroat looked to the apprentice. No. Her apprentice shuffling thru the leaves herbs. Her eyes glinted, and happiness seemed to fall from them. There was no cat prouder then she was of their apprentice. The grey tabby had a feeling that she would be making the biggest mistake of her time. Feeling a motherly scene over Umberpaw. She was making the fea her kit.

“Can you tell me any of those herbs?” She mewed softly, a calm tone intertwining in her voice.

OOC| I haven’t seem you on SSW much, Think you will be on soon? And sorry this took me so long!!

[.::Umberwings]

[My clan’s fallen inactive, it appears, as Pinepaw’s busy with real life, Nightshade has no computer, and Cinder’s been grounded and busy too. Ehhh, I might come up with another character there, for one of the other clans – I really do not feel like RP’ing with myself after all. *laughs* And it’s quite alright, I know quite well how demanding life can be outside the forums.]

“I’m not really sure.”

That young voice was honest in its curiosity, to say the least. The small apprentice lifted her gaze, yellow orbs settling upon the older and much much wiser form of her mentor, before she asked.

“Can you tell me? Teach me, tell me everything!”

There was a desire in those bright hues, and need to learn and explore. To gather each and every drop of knowledge she could ever seek.

[Silverthroat]

Silverthroat smiled, the shine in the cat's eyes was all she needed to keep her happy that night. "Dont worry, I will teach you everything, but for now Its time we get some sleep." with that she flicked her tail and went to curl up in the worn out bed she called hers.

[.::Umberwings]

But what is she didn’t want to sleep? Umberpaw curled up, mindful of her healing wounds, and struggled to go to sleep – but it was so difficult. She went over the herbs in her mind instead, going over them again and again.

What were they? She wanted to know, died to know!

‘Maybe if I had known about them I could’ve done something to save Demonkit.”

[Silverthroat]

Silverthroat opened one eye, and twitched her ears around.

"No, hun. You could do nothing for Demonkit. It was you or him. And there are many cats you need and can save, think of this clan without you."

She flicked her silver tail across the pale ground, sturring up a touch of dirt before drifting off to a sweet, sweet dream. But what she saw was to be kept to herself.

Ooc| Sorry for the spelling, Im not in the mood to read it over >.>

[Shadow Spirit]

Lillystar padded quietly into the medicine cats' hollow. She was, as of yet, unaware of the two kits' leaving the camp.

"Silverthroat..." she called. "Are you awake?"
