IvyWish shut her eyes tightly as the dark colored warrior leapt at her and waited for the stinging of claws on her fur. However, those claws never touched her and as she opened her eyes, she found herself back in the clearing, every cat still shouting their names. It was almost as though no time had passed at all. She glanced down at her apprentice as Sweetpaw said, "What do we do now?" IvyWish blinked for a moment and shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Well, its getting dark so Cinderpaw and Birchpaw will show you where to sleep. In the morning, we'll go on a tour around the territory and if we still have time, we'll have a small training lesson." She meowed. Sweetpaw gave a bright smile and headed off to where Cinderpaw was waiting for her. Still lost as to what had happened to her, she noticed WeaselFoot staring at her, a look of concern on his face. She only shook her head and headed towards the warriors den to rest up for the day ahead.

((In SnowClan))
VixenSky sniffed at a small kit and pressed her nose against its fur, feeling for a temperature. To her dismay, she felt heat rise up from the small kit's body and she glanced up nervously at the kit's mother. "She appears to have greencough, OwlFlight." She meowed, her tone giving away her worry. "But we have feverfew and catmint so she should be better soon." The brown tabby queen didn't seem very convinced and looked over at LilyBreeze, who gave a nod to VixenSky. "It will take a bit for the kit to feel better. Give it some time." The old medicine cat replied, fetching some feverfew and catmint from their herb store. The she-cat gave a long sigh exited the den, leaving her kit in the care of the two medicine cats. She got the small kit settled into a nest and turned to LilyBreeze, who was glancing over their stock. "We could use more juniper berries and feverfew before the frost hits. Do you mind going and getting some?" VixenSky gave a nod to the medicine cat and headed out of the den and into the main clearing. As she reached the main clearing, she noticed how some cats had gathered around BlazingStrike, who seemed to be burning with fury. "How dare ClearStar demand such a thing from us! We should have taken his clan 1x1 for such a stunt." The warrior growled as IceStar walked out of her den to see what the commotion was. "It was a gathering, BlazingStrike." The leader meowed, a hint of frustration filling her voice as she faced her battle-hungry brother. "We do not fight at gatherings for they are sacred to us."

The warrior smirked in amusement as he stares at her, a challenging look crossing his face. 'Oh dear...not again...' VixenSky thought with a sigh as she walked towards the group. "A real leader would have fought to keep our land or even at the thought of it being taken." IceStar narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly upset about BlazingStrike's challenging words. "Are you saying that I'm not being a real leader?" The she-cat questioned him, to which he gave a firm nod. A paw tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to see NeptuneStorm behind her, a smile crossing his face. "He's doing it again, isn't he?" The warrior asked. VixenSky gave a nod and closed her eyes. 'Why does this keep happening? Will there ever be peace here again?'

((Back in NightClan))
IvyWish settled down into her nest, closing her eyes only to be woken up by RisingWater. "Is something wrong with you? You've been acting weird all day." The she-cat shook her head and glanced up at him. "Its nothing. I've just had a lot on my mind lately." RisingWater rolled his eyes as though he didn't believe her answer and he laid down in his nest beside her. "Well, get those things off your mind. You'll be needed for the patrols tomorrow, especially to marl the new border." IvyWish blinked in surprise. 'New border...? Oh no...' As though she had spoken the words aloud, TigerSplash answered her. "We're going to set a new border on the other side of the Ravine, showing those SnowClan foxhearts that we don't take no for an answer." IvyWish gave a heavy sigh and laid her head back down on her paws. "I think that we shouldn't take it from them." TigerSplash tipped her head to one side, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the troubled cat. "What's wrong? Aren't you a loyal NightClan warrior?" 'What a stupid question! Of course I am!' She thought with a nod. "Then you'll do as your clan leader wants. No exceptions, got it?" IvyWish gave a small nod and closed her eyes once more, falling into a deep sleep.

"IvyWish." Came a sudden voice that caused her to jolt awake. Instead of finding herself in the warriors den, she found herself in a starry filled clearing. Everything glowed with life and seemed to sparkle. A tail length or two in front of her was a gray and brown tabby with green eyes. The starry tom dipped his head kindly to her as he spoke. "Greetings, IvyWish. Do not be afraid here for you are among friends. My name is JayStar, former leader of SnowClan and I have a message for you." 'Odd. Why not give the message to WeaselFoot or Fallenpaw?' She thought as she waited for the tom to continue. "A great darkness that has been silent for too long is rising among us. You must help join NightClan and SnowClan together to fight against this threat."

She almost fell over from the weight of his words. "Bring together two enemy clans? That's next to impossible!" The tom only shook his his head in response as he looked her dead in the eye. He had already started fading away into nothing. "You must join together to fight the rising silence." She blinked her eyes once and the starry forest was gone. She was once again laying in her nest in the warriors den. The moon was still in the sky, meaning that barely anytime had gone by. 'Oh dear...' She thought gravely. 'What do I do now?'
