[center][b][i][h2][color=3CB371] Fernstar: WillowClan Camp [/color][/h2][/i][/b][/center] [center] Fernstar's fur lifted along her spine and her eyes widened. Her thoughts raced as she got to her feet and began pacing back and forth in front of Blackpelt, trying to think of how this could be possible. [color=3CB371][i] My Mother told me the Dark Forest was destroyed in the Great Battle. . . How could it be resurfacing? The Dark Forest can't exist without StarClan; so why wouldn't they have prevented it? Are they powerful enough to stop it?[/i][/color] She tried to smooth her fur and sat down to address the medicine cat. [color=3CB371][b] "How did you hurt yourself? What were you doing there?" [/b][/color] In her anxiety, she began to wonder if Blackpelt truly [i]WAS[/i] being followed by the cats of the Dark Forest, or if he was [i]CHOOSING[/i] to be there. . . Medicine cats were the only ones who could visit the Dark Forest in their dreams as well as when the journeyed to the Moonpool; but she wondered why Blackpelt would have any reason to be going to the Dark Forest willingly? Shaking herself free of her thoughts, she gazed at Blackpelt, waiting for his response. Her journey to the Moonpool might be even more important than she had originally thought. . . [/center]
