Inky black darkness swirled around him.

Nothing but stars faintly lit his way. Its was hard to tell exactly where he was, but when he felt around, he heard the crunch of dead leaves and felt the hard rock of Caveclan's above-ground territory underneath him.

He walked, letting his instincts guide him. A few moments later, he heard a rustle from a bramble thicket nearby. What he expected to be a simple animal, turned out to be a cat. Its pelt was sleek, calico, and slightly translucent. They opened their mouth and spoke,

"Pelt of silver, eyes, of jade

Can bring you aide,

can seal your fate.

Careful, find them while you can,

for they hide in plain sight, though hidden from your view

Only to some may they appear,

find them, too, before end draws near.

Good luck, Foxstar."

With that, the vision faded, and he woke with a jolt. Panting, he shook away the sleepiness, making his way into the medicine cat's den, nudging the pale red she-cat awake.

"Rosepetal, wake up. I need to speak to you at once."

"Huh-what? Is everything alright?" She murmured, sitting up. Shaking the ruffles out of her pelt, she stood up. "Is it private matters? Do we need to go elsewhere?"

"I believe that may be a good idea." Foxstar responded, gesturing for her to follow him.

They walked for a while, finding a suitable place to converse without interruption.

"I... Dreamclan spoke to me last night." His meow trembled. "Needless to say... it troubled me."

"Alright, go on. I'm listening."

"Uhh... it went like this. 'Pelt of silver, eyes, of jade, can bring you aide, can seal your fate. Careful, find them while you can, for they hide in plain sight, though hidden from your view. Only to some may they appear, find them, too, before end draws near.' I'm having a hard time trying to make sense of it all. This hasn't ever happened before."

"Interesting. Thank you, Foxstar. Let's try to figure out what it means later, it's still very late. For now, rest is important."

The pair walked back to camp in silence, both slipping away to their respective dens in silence.

Needless to say, Foxstar did not end up getting much sleep that night.
