Drip...
Thin slivers of silver hung from the ceiling.
Drip...
A dazzlingly bright pool lay beneath.
Drip...
The substance lay all over the ground in the cave.
Drip...
Mesmerizing... Beautiful...
Drip...
The dream-cat padded towards the big pool.
Drip...
Dabbing in a paw, she found it to be pleasantly cool.
Drip...
Small pawfuls of slush lay in the center of the pool.
Drip...
A great warmth blew across the cat's back.
Drip...
The cat shivered at the warmth, as it awakened some fear within her.
Drip...
Staring at the pool, she saw herself, white with amber eyes, covered with stars.
DRIP!
Sealfin jerked awake.
"Ravenheart!" she shrieked. A black she-cat leapt over the snow at the sound of Sealfin's voice.
"Oh, you're awake!" she mewed cheerily.
"I need to get to the Glacier."
"Oh, but Sealfin, there's rebuilding to do... Can't it wait?"
"No." Sealfin said firmly. "Come with me, and you'll see what I mean. But we must hurry!"
Ravenheart, trusting Sealfin, set off without hesitation. Sealfin sailed over the snow next to her, as if she had never been injured in the battle. Ravenheart stepped over the bloody paw prints, of both cat and coyote, never pausing. A few seconds later, she came to a dead halt.
The trickle of water that ran through the land had turned into a violent river, churning and gushing, tearing off new ice every second.
"No! Sealfin, stop!"
Sealfin didn't listen. Instead, she swerved toward Ravenheart, who thought she noticed a bluish tint to Sealfin's eyes.
Ravenheart found herself jerked up into the air by the scruff. Sealfin soared above the river in a single leap, hauling the considerably larger Ravenheart with her. Sealfin's eyes darkened to amber again, and she stared at the river in disbelief.
"How did we cross it?" she said, with a face like an awestruck kit.
"Never mind that, we're on this side now. Weren't we supposed to be getting to the Glacier?"
Sealfin shook herself and sprinted away again. Ravenheart kept pace until they drew towards the entrance. Her stomach lurched as she saw the mouth of the cave, no longer appearing to emanate the energy it had before. Sealfin padded toward the mouth of the cave anxiously.
"Well? Are you coming with me or not?"
Ravenheart gulped and trotted next to her, thoroughly dreading what she would find. She shuddered as she felt warmth seep into her pelt.
Within the cave, she saw the familiar silvery substance of the Glacier, spread all over the floor, glowing dully. She could tell just by looking at it that StarClan was no longer there.
Well, I hoped you like it. I'll try to update at least one of my stories every weekend now.
