Mothwing: Whats her REAL passion?
This chapter was requested by LostBluePhantom. I'm not dead!!! I know its been about four months, but I had some writers block. Hopefully its cured. I'll try to make it up to you!!! Warning: This chapter contains Sunset spoilers.
Mothwing, RiverClan medicine cat, has been widely known to not be 'fully passionate' about her relationship with StarClan. Reports retired but STILL mishievious Mousefur, ThunderClan elder.
Latest reports show that Mothwing has little interest in prophecies or sharing any dreams at all with StarClan. Our question: If she doesnt worship StarClan, then what does she worship? I went over to RiverClan to find out more.
"Mothwing never has told me about any dreams or prophecies." agreed Leopardstar, RiverClan leader.
"When I come in to visit her, she often has a large bound book out." Reported RiverClan medicine cat apprentice, Willowpaw.
"Not you again!" Said RiverClan deputy Mistyfoot. This confrontation between us lead to the patch of balding fur on my left shoulder.
Our sources (aka my surveilance cameras), confirm a suspision many a RiverClan cat have observed. It has suddently been proven that some of the herbs in her stores arent even medicine related.
"I needed to bring Leopardstar poppy seeds, and one of her stores was labeled 'fettchini alfredo.' says RiverClan warrior Reedwhisker.
We asked the ThunderClan historian Goldenflower for imformation on what 'fettichini alfredo' is and how Mothwing may be using it.
"I havent seen fettichini alfredo since the Dark Ages." Goldenflower told me.
Goldenflower went on to explain how, in medievil times, warriors and medicine cats alike would sprinkle fettichini alfredo over their homes and camps. They believed that it would keep enemies away.
Does Mothwing participate in this ancient ritual? Still, there are some arguements over what fettichini alfredo was really used for. One apprentice was positive that twolegs used it to season their pasta! What an idea!
But what about the book mentioned earlier?
"Its a cookie book." Insists historian Goldenflower.
"Its pronounced cook." Squirrelflight, ThunderClan warrior informs, coming off from off stage.
"Its says clearly here- cookie." Goldenflower insists, pointing to her history book.
"That 'i-e' is a pretzel crumb." Squirrelflight scoffs, picking up a cracked snap of a pretzel.
"Pretzel! Mine!" Goldenflower cries, knocking the unsuspecting Squirrely off her paws.
Perhaps there is room for Goldenflower's pretzel addiction in next months addition.
I attempted to ask Leafpool about her opinions on her fellow medicine cat's practice.
"Its the mice." Leafpool says, her eyes darting around me. "They can see me."
"They can see you." I repeated to her.
"And my tail. They bite my tail." She added, twitching slightly.
Okay, so maybe there's more then one medicine cat in the forest with problems.
What would Mothwing be doing with a cook book?
"It's not really a cookbook." A warrior who would rather remain anoynmous stated. (hint; his claw is brambly) "It's actually a spell book." ...I'm starting to doubt this kid.
"No really!" He insists. "I've heard her in the night. LIke this one time I was on a patrol..Mothwing was on the border murmering
"Rats eyes, muffins, the kitchen sink,"
"Bouncy balls, ice cubes, a skating rink"
"when I smile and after I wink"
"turn that snoppy cat's tail pink."
The bramble clawed warrior had to stop for a moment to regain composure.
"I ran for my life.. and I swear.. the next time i looked.. my tail was the lightest shade of perrywinkle."
He paused.
"Either that or I ate too many oreos again and I was hallusinating."
So basically.. either Mothwing has a passion for cooking with herbs and spices..she's actually an evil mouse.. or... she's a witch. I personally think that the whole forest has gone off the deep end and I need new citizens to whom I ask their opinions. Until next time.. this is Mousefur, bringin the gossip to you.
There will be another chapter up by the end of the night. Terribly sorry for the long wait!
