Dreams
Ah, I see that you have come to visit the dream-world of StarClan, my little kit.
Dreams are very special in their own ways. Some cats dream of StarClan; others just dream of "normal cat stuff." Not everybody who dreams of StarClan is a medicine cat. Some of them, like Firestar, are just normal cats.
You seem to be normal. You're not planning to be a medicine cat or anything of the kind?
….Oh, you want to be a leader someday, when you grow up? Now, that may be why. If we start sending you prophecies, though…. you might be better off being a medicine cat.
Being a medicine cat is hard. You have to be able to heal cats with no mistakes, and you have to have a strong connection with StarClan.
Being a leader is even harder. Receiving your nine lives is one of the hardest parts, but it is all worth it, in the end.
Being a deputy is just…. normal. Most deputies don't have strong connections with StarClan until they become leader. Then, they will start dreaming about StarClan more.
Most warriors, and apprentices, are just…. normal. They don't dream about StarClan at all. Well, most of them don't. Some do; I was never one of those. I was killed by Tigerclaw, unfortunately, so I could never be a leader. I think, however, that all along, Firestar was the right one for ThunderClan.
Oh…. are you asking who I am? Why, I am Redtail, former deputy of ThunderClan. I have been dead for many moons; not even Firestar is alive anymore!
Oh, wait; you'd know that, wouldn't you? After all, you are living in ThunderClan.
Would you like me to show you around the StarClan camp? It's a lot like the normal Clan camps. There are den for warriors, apprentices, queens…. some queens, if they died right at pregnancy or around that time, can feed really young kits who die at birth…. or when they're very young.
The warriors' den is really big. We have more cats up here than you do down in those Clans of yours, little one.
Oh…. dawn is coming. I guess I can show you around another time; you need to get back to your Clan. Here, jump into the Dream Pool—that's where cats go after they visit StarClan.
Good luck! I hope you can visit again!
