Side note~! This is a somewhat continuation of my Leafpool X Crowfeather Story(: Enjoy!
Soft silver mist swirled around a small tortoiseshell, not even an apprentice yet.
"Don't be frightened…" The young kit turned at the soft, sweet voice. "I'm not going to hurt you…"
She looked up to see a pretty tortoiseshell padding towards her through the mist. "You're Emberkit, aren't you? I'm Spottedleaf. I was the Medicine Cat of ThunderClan long before your mother… Back when Firestar was still just an apprentice…" Her amber eyes glowed as she spoke of their current leader.
"Really…?" Emberkit gazed up at her through wide blue eyes, bright with wonder. "Then… You're a StarClan cat, aren't you?"
Spottedleaf purred. "Yes, that's correct little kit… I'm here to watch over you…"
Emberkit blinked. Watch over me…? But why me? I'm not fast, like Hollykit, or strong like Eaglekit… And Lilykit already knows a perfect hunting crouch…!
The StarClan warrior let out a soft mrrow of amusement, before bending to lick the kit-soft fur between Emberkit's ears. "Worry not, Emberkit… You face a hard path, and there are dark times ahead… But StarClan will walk beside you… I will walk beside you, every step of the way…"
Emberkit looked up at the starry medicine cat. "Dark times…? But everything has been so peaceful…" The kit looked down, kneading the ground with small front paws.
Spottedleaf gave that tiny tortoiseshell another gentle lick. "All we be made clear as you grow older, Emberkit… Now, just know that I am here… StarClan will guide you, even through the darkest of nights…"
With that, the mist began to thicken, obscuring the trees, the ground, and the starry tortoiseshell medicine cat along with it. "Wait!" Emberkit mewed desperately. "I don't under-" but the everything was already gone, nothing but a thick silver mist remaining, leaving her alone… "stand…" Emberkit turned her blue eyes towards the sky, blinking in surprise when she saw not more fog, but the midnight sky, swathed with the warriors of Silverpelt, brilliant and shining.
"Even when you cannot see the path ahead of you…" One voice, though it sounded like many. Strong, and warm. "StarClan will guide your paws… Have faith, Emberkit, and we will always walk beside you…"
A warm, comforting crashed over the small kit, her heart sudden;y at peace, her mind clear of worries. She felt safe, and at home, gazing up at the stars of her warrior ancestors…
StarClan will always be with me…
She heard a small, soft purr. "Always, little Emberkit…"
