Wandering around

[SunChaser]

Whisperclaw moved forward to the freshkill pile. He had already brought back a couple of rabbits for the clan and done the border patrol. Now it was his time for food. He moved forward and picked up one of the rabbits he had caught himself and moved over to the side of the waterfall. He sighed softly as he started to shred the rabbit, taking the meat and gnawing on the bones. Some of the bones he just broke and tossed aside but mostly this rabbit was full of rich and yummy meat. Rabbit was one of his favorite creatures to eat.

He had been asked if he should be medicine cat because whisper new a lot about the different herbs and what not. However he was hoping that with the new leadership he might be forgotton and someone else would take the medicine cat spot. He tilted his head slightly. What would the new leader and deputy do? Would they be good or bring about the destruction of the clan?

[Eclipsefeather]

Eclipsefeather's golden eyes opened due to the warm sunlight dancing on her face through the patches in the warrior's den. She lifted her head and yawned, proceeding to stretch out her stiff limbs. A few days had passed since she had been made Deputy, and she was still not used to the looks and sudden responsibility she had received with the title. It was strange, but she knew she'd adjust. Pulling herself to her feet, she steadied her gait and left the den, gazing out at the clan camp. Most cats were busying themselves with the usual random tasks of the day, and she spotted Whisperclaw eating by the waterfall where Nightstar's den laid just behind.

"I wonder..." She mused to herself, skipping past the fresh-kill pile and approaching the other leopard. "Good afternoon, Whisperclaw. How are you this fine day?" Eclipsefeather took the liberty to sit herself beside him, not laying down, just sitting. She had a curiosity nagging at the back of her mind, mostly about the medicine cat position he had been offered. She wondered what he would do about it.

[Whisperclaw]

Whisperclaws black head rose off the ground as he watched the new deputy pad over to him. He rose a brow but said nothing, just watching her as she came nearer. He nodded his head as she spoke. "Fine, you?" He really wasnt one for long conversations, didnt see the need for them when one was thinking. And currently he was debating a lot of things in his head.

He didnt want to become medicine cat but something told him that he had no choice. He looked at the deputy agian before tearing the rabbit in half and offering the other half to her. One must be polite if nothing else.

[Eclipsefeather]

For a moment, Eclipsefeather stared at the morsel her had offered with her golden eyes, debating on pushing it aside. However, her stomach growled, rather loudly at that. She sighed some and waited, looking at the warrior carefully. Her ears twitched, then flattened themselves, choosing her words wisely. Her voice was silent for several minutes.

"I am well. I'm still adjusting to the Deputy title, though." She told him, voice even. "I wanted to ask you about the position you've been offered as Medicine Cat. What will you do?"

She was aware that the cat before her was not one to talk much, so she almost didn't expect to receive an answer. However, she was patient. She took the silence as an opportunity to tear into the half of rabbit at her feet. She realized how hungry she was, devouring it easily. She ran her tongue over her teeth, savoring the taste.

[SunChaser]

As the two cats sat there, a strange mist seemed to spread around them. Soon a beautiful black leopard steps forward, it was Mistyeyes. She was the old medicine cat. She nodded her head to the two as her form wavered in and out. "Only those that whisper have the skills one needs to listen to the troubles that are to come. Sheath your claws and you will find your purpose." She looked at whisperclaw before smiling at Eclipsefeather. "You will do well." She whispered before she left and so did the odd fog.

------------

Whisperclaw was shocked at the sight of the medicine cat and then hung his head. "Yay..." He mumbled shaking his head. "Seems i have no choice in the matter." He sighed, now what would he do? He looked at Eclipsefeather, what did she make of this?

[Eclipsefeather]

Eclipsefeather kept her calm face on when a strange mist wafted in around them, blocking them from anything else that surrounded them in the camp. The Deputy's claws unsheathed and scraped the rock lightly beneath her. She froze and her golden eyes widened when a slender ebony leopard emerged from a separation in the mist. She blinked several times as if trying to see clearly.

"Mistyeyes...?" She was incredulous. The former medicine cat had died quite awhile ago, but she was loved so. She listened intently as she spoke to Whisperclaw, catching every word she said to him. It seemed like destiny that he take the position, but Eclipsefeather would respect the decision he made. She was slightly startled when Mistyeyes turned and spoke to her, feeling a slight confidence boost at her words.

Within a split second, the mist and Mistyeyes were gone. Her ears were flat as she stared blankly at where the old cat had been, aware of Whisperclaw's eyes on her. She sighed when he said he didn't have a choice, then looked at him. "You received a prophecy, I'm sure. At least...I believe I was here for that part of it. However, you would make a great medicine cat. Nightstar and I will support you in it."
