Hawkpaw continued her chatter towards Frostpaw. The young tom seemed to at least be warming up a little bit. He wasn't staring at the ground any longer, but he still hadn't looked in her direction or spoken in more than short sentences. [color=00a651][b]"How long have you been an apprentice? This is my first time going to the Moonbrook, so I'm excited to see what it's like!"[/b][/color] She frowned as she remembered a snippet of the conversation between Blackmoon and Dawnwing that she had overheard. That StarClan had stopped talking to them. [color=00a651][b]"Has StarClan ever spoken to you?"[/b][/color]

[b]"Only a few moons."[/b] Frostpaw's voice was still quiet, [b]"It's pretty, but the DuskClan cats always make me nervous."[/b] He looked a bit startled by her last question. [b]"We're not really supposed to talk about our dreams, but no, I don't think they have."[/b]

If StarClan wasn't there to speak with them then how were new medicine cats supposed to get their names or learn about the prophecies that would protect the clans. It seemed so strange that one moment they were there and the next they were gone with no warning. The least they could've done was give a sign that they wouldn't be around. That would've stopped at least some of the doubt. [color=00a651][b]"Well maybe they'll be here tonight! We won't know until we get there."[/b][/color]

[b]"It's hard to say how many of the warriors have lost faith. I can only hope our leadership holds onto it and your deputy finds it again."[/b] Dawnwing let a small smile cross her face at the talk and laughter behind her. [b]"At least it hasn't severed the connections between us."[/b] She was pretty sure this was the most relaxed she'd seen members of other clans since the gathering. She nodded in agreement with Tigershine and let Dew-whisker take the lead through the marsh; mostly ignoring the wet dirt she could feel building up between her claws.
