Warrior Cat's Survival RP - //LunarClan vs SolarClan\\

-NightTail came bolting back, and he halted- "The solarclan.." he hissed under his breath.

Duskheart turned to Nightstar.
"Crystalpool needs help," he murmured.

"Im no medicine cat, but i think she could use some Poppy seed and cobwebs... go fetch those, please."

Duskheart dipped his head and ran to the medicine cat's den.
He came back with a bundle of cobwebs bunched around his paws and Poppy seeds cluthed in his jaws. Duskheart covered any bleeding with the cobwebs and waited for a response from Crystalpool.

-NightStar sat there waiting for a response, sitting close to his deputy.-

Risingpaw bowed his head. His mentor couldn't be gone! He let out a wail of sadness, and shoved his muzzle into Crystalpool's fur. "No.." he murmured, rasping his tounge over her ear. He stepped back, without a word. Suddenly, Crystalpool started coughing. Her eyes opened, and she looked up at the cats wearily. "I-Is SolarClan g-gone?" she rasped, looking around. Risingpaw nodded, his heart brimming with joy. Crystalpool wasn't dead! Crystalpool tryed to get up, but her legs gave out, and she layed down again, taking in slow, long breathes.

Duskheart's soul lifting again in hope. He sighed with relief.
"Someone fetch the medicine cat," he ordered.
Duskheart bent over Crystalpool and licked her muzzle.

Risingpaw nodded and ran into the medicine cat's den. He was yowling "Rainpelt! Rainpelt!" while running. Crystalpool looked up at Duskheart. "W-What happened?" she asked, then whinced when a gash on her side began stinging with pain.

"The leader knocked you out." he stammered.
"Then I fought him and sent him back howling to his camp. And I think I saw the puny apprentice. He actually scared me a little, that ferocious thing." He purred with amusement.

Crystalpool let out a mrrrow of laughter. "I could see that." she purred, sitting up, and pain shot through her side where her gash was. Risingpaw ran back with Rainpelt, the medicine cat. Crystalpool bit back a hiss when Rainpelt put some marigold on her wounds.

Duskheart watched Crystalpool's suffering.
"Is there anything else that can heal her that won't sting?" he asked Rainpelt.
Rainpelt shook his head and sighed.

Crystalpool looked up at Duskheart. "I'm fine.." she mewed, when the stinging began to fade. She stood up on shakey legs, and let out a sigh. Risingpaw watched Crystalpool with frightened eyes. He wondered if she would be ok.

Duskheart touched his nose to Crystalpool's.
"You should rest in Rainpelt's den," he suggested.

Crystalpool nodded, and leaned on Risinpaw's shoulder for support. She layed down on on a bed of moss, but couldn't seem to sleep. Risingpaw sat next to her, his ears flicking.

"Stupid SolarClan!" Duskheart spat at himself.
He trotted to the warriors den, trying to rest.

Crystalpool finally fell asleep, with Risinpaw next to her. Her pain had faded...
~~~~~~~~
Risinpaw stirred in his sleep, and Crystalpool woke up. She waved her tail in goodbye to Rainpelt, and padded out into the clearing. She stretched her sore limbs and yawned. She rasped her tounge over the scratch on her side, with didn't hurt much anymore.

Duskheart padded on the slope, looking at the night sky.
A gray cloud drifted down toward him. Soon the cloud turned into a white, beautiful she-cat.
"Mother?" Duskheart moaned.
"Hello Duskheart." the cat said, her voice echoing through the forest.
"Open your eyes to the strongest thing in the world." His mother murmured, and she drifted away back to StarClan.
"Strongest thing-" Duskheart called after her, but his mother was already gone.
Duskheart woke up startled. 'Strongest thing in the world?' he asked himself. 'What did Mother mean by that?'

Crystalpool padded into the warrior's den. "Are you OK?" she asked Duskheart, who looked shaken. She put her tail on his shoulder.

Duskheart raised his head to Crystalpool's voice.
"Um... What do you think the strongest thing in the world is..?" he asked her, hoping she'd know.

Crystalpool gazed at the ceiling of the cave, thinking. She looked down. "Hope?" she mewed, then thought harder.Her tail twtiched. "Love.." she murmured, closing her eyes.

As soon as the word drifted out of Crystalpool's mouth, a strike of butterflies gripping onto his stomach hit him. "Oh.." he moaned. Duskheart got to his paws. "We should check the SolarClan border," he suggested calmy. He tried to hide the hope and courage that cracked through his voice.

Crystalpool looked at him and blinked. "Sure." she mewed. "I'm going to let Risinpaw stay here, he was very tired when I saw him." Her tail flicked from side to side, and she padded out of the den.

Duskheart followed her out of the den.
Before he caught up to her, he said a silent prayer, "Thank you Mother."

Crystalpool stopped when she came to the border. "Their scent is faint." she mewed, glancing back at Duskheart. She gazed across the clearing, and tasted the air. She gasped and stumbled back, when she relized what she had smelled. "D-Death.." she mewed shakily, looking at Duskheart. "And a lot of it."

Duskheart gaped as he smelled it to.
"How did they die?" he stuttered.
