Dreaming Of Stars (Patchkit)

[Firefly]

After much discussion with all the clans it had finally been decided that Batwing would dream with one of Nightstar's kits in hope of getting them to help them tell their mother who this so called Moon God Bastet really was. It was hard picking which cat, Batwing wanted to pick Black-kit, but because he was deaf other Starclan cats feared he wouldn't be able to help them. She tried to convince them that he may be deaf in the real world but in his dreams he would be able to hear, and by hearing in his dreams would help him with his speech. But they denied her request and told her to go to Spiderkit. Batwing didn't want to use Spiderkit she had a bad feeling about him but she was out voted once more. 

So that was the reason she found herself in Nightclan camp at Sun high when most cats where awake, hunting and patrolling but these cats where all sleeping except for the guards and those out doing High Sun patrol. She padded past the the guards and into the nursery. She looked and Black-kit and almost stepped into his dreams but sighed and shook her head and went to Spiderkit. But as she tried to enter his dreams she was pushed back. She pushed harder but felt the darkness of the Dark Forest in his dreams and quickly stepped back. She was right she knew Spiderkit was the wrong choice. The others would not be happy hearing this. She padded towards Patchkit and pressed against his dreams wanting to get a feel of them before entering. She sighed with relief feeling nothing but love, joy and excitement. She stepped into his dreams and scanned the dream for him. Spotting him she called out, "Patchkit, Patchkit." She stepped forward slowly so as not to scare him.

Patchkit swivelled his ear, smiling in his sleep as he dreamed of frolicking through the forest of Nightclan's territory-- beautiful, full of life! The kit bopped a bush, feeling it's leaves wriggle from the motion. The sun was bright, wind was settle but enough of a breeze to cool down the patched tom's pelt from the sunshine. Leaf-bare was gone now, and his and his siblings' mother said they would be able to train in a moon! He was excited to start. He'll be socializing and hunting... meeting new cats! The kit leaped at the bush in excitement, noming on a leaf as he landed squarely on the plantlife. He wriggled on the branches, mewing softly as he jumped out and ruffled his fur, settling down and grooming it down a bit.

As he cleaned his fur from the leap, he heard rustling and jumped, crouching low-- what's that? Prey? The kit stalked closer and tilted his head at the.. TALKING figure! Woah, he hasn't seen that cat in Nightclan yet! Who is she? Wait, she knows his name? "Hello?" He said, unsure, and stalked closer to the kind-of-starry cat. Woah...

Batwing watched as the kit ran and well frolicked through the forest. She laughed softly, it was so nice to see a peaceful dream such as this. But she didn't get to watch for long for he heard her call out his name and stopped. She smiled as the kit spotted him. "Hello Patchkit, I am Batwing and I am from Starclan." Should she explain what Starclan was? She was sure he had never heard of them in his short life. Making up her mind she decided to tell him who Starclan was but to wait to until he as older to tell him who Bastet really was. "Starclan are cats who used to be in Thunderclan, Shadowclan, Windclan and Riverclan. When we died we joined Starclan so we could watch over the clans and our descendants through the years. We are not gods, we are just the ancestors of many cats who have made these new clans. I am your ancestor Patchkit, your twenty eight times great grandmother I guess you could say," she laughed softly. She would pause and give him a minute to soak in everything she had just said.

Patchkit, a look of wonder plastered across his face, looked up at the cat. The she-cat seemed to have a smile on her face! She must be nice, then. The kit wobbled over, closer to the cat, and sat down, one of his deformed legs sticking out slightly. He had pretty much mastered walking with the weird thing-- other cats didn't seem to have the thing and had legs like the other three of his. The kit wanted to ask this cat about it but she probably had better things to do if she could go into his dreams.

"Hi, Batwing!" He smiled at the she-cat. The kit tilted his head at the word 'starclan', though, and waited for her to explain. He was only told of Bastet by his mom. He heard the bastet thing was nice but wasn't sure-- the name seemed menacing! Wait, woah! Thunder..Shadow, Wind, and River clans? He only heard of Nightclan.. and Blizzardclan.

But his mom did go to a, uh, 'gathering', which was supposed to be where lots of cats are-- are there other clans? "Twenty..eight times? How much is that?" He asked, a questioning look on his face. "And I only heard of Nightclan and Blizzardclan! Are there other ones?" He, once again, asked.

Batwing could see all the questions that Patchkit wanted to ask swimming in his eyes. She appreciated that he remained silent mostly while she talked. When he said her name she nodded her head. She reminded him of her great great grandson who was very sweet and curious just and they even shared the same name Patchkit. Sadly he died at four moons old from green cough.

She smiled and laughed as he asked her how many times twenty eight was. "Let's just say it's a lot. I was alive about one hundred years ago. Which is a very long time ago before the four original clans where destroyed." She wasn't surprised that Patchkit had yet to hear of all the other clans there where so many more now than there used to be and they all found a way to share the territory around here. "There are six, four around the lake, two in the mountains and than there is a tribe of sorts in the twoleg place at the end of your territory. You need to tell your mom to send more patrols over there. But lets see there is Eclipseclan which is one of the newer ones, Cardincalclan which Cardinalcatcher just made after leaving your clan. Stormclan and those are the four including yours that are around the lake. Than there is Blizzardclan and Lynxclan in the mountains. And then there is The Tribe Of Poisoned Fangs in the twoleg place. There fangs have poison in them."

Patchkit twitched his whiskers, listening to Batwing explain what twenty eight was. He gasped questly when she said she lived one hundred years ago. If only twenty eight times her family extended since then (he assumed that's what that meant), then it must be a looong time! He, himself, was only about 6 moons, wasn't he? Or 7. His mom said he'd be training with his siblings to be an apprentice when they were 5 moons, but he guessed it was alright that their ceremony was delayed. He had fun in his dreams and played with his siblings when he was concious, so there wasn't much of an entertainment issue.

The blue furred kit returned his attention to the she-cat, ears perked as he listened to the answer to how many clans there actually were. He tilted his head in the process, taking in the information given out. Six, four around the lake-- his mind dictated along with the Starclan cat-- two in the mountains, a tribe of sorts in the twoleg place. Huh! He paused in his mind and analysed the locations. A tribe of 'sorts'? And he should tell mother to get more patrols over there? So mom doesn't know about this place! Wow, that's really awesome. But if Patchkit does try to tell his mom, would she believe him? He heard her reffer to 'Bastet' as the eqivalent of this 'Starclan', and never mention the ancestor clan..

Patchkit returned from his train of thought back into the conversation. Eclipseclan, Cardinalclan which Cardinalcatcher-- hey, he heard that name before around Nightclan's camp!-- just made. Stormclan is also around the lake. The clans are located around the lake? Huh! You learn something new everyday, the kit smiled to himself. He hummed as he heard the name of the clan he had heard of and another new clan-- Blizzardclan and.. Lynxclan. Wasn't a lynx an animal? But Cardinalclan was also named after the bird. Right. Alright! Then there's The Tribe Of Poisoned Fangs in the twoleg place. Their fangs have <i>poison</i> in them?! Wwwell now that's pretty dangerous, Patchkit winced.

<b>"How are there so many?"</b> He asked, awe-struck, and looked around for a moment. <b>"And how does the tribe have poisoned fangs? That's, ah, surreal?"</b> He paused before saying the word 'surreal'. He was talking to an ancestor cat! That's surreal, he thought. But maybe not. It was like in dreams you see other cats but this time the other cat isn't in your brain and you aren't in it's. But that's still pretty confusing, if you think about it hard enough. But then the cat <i>is</i> in your brain, because Patchkit is, or was? Still dreaming! He twitched an ear as a little bush was rustled by the wind nearby.

Batwing allowed some time to go by for everything she had said to soak in before continuing. When Patchkit finally had enough time to think he began popping question after question. "So many questions for such a small kit," she chuckled softly. "I can not answer your first just say that there are that many. Maybe it's a good thing there are so many maybe it's not only time will tell. And how the tribe because poisonus is hard to explain. They where.... experimented on by humans, upwalkers, twolegs. They go by all those names but they're all the same. They where cat napped from their homes, tortured, many died but now they are free and very deadly. But that's not what we need to worry about right now. What we need to worry about right now is Buzzardclaw.... but you might know him as Bastet. He is a cat from The Dark Forest, denied entry to Starclan because of his awful deeds. He murdered many and helped to destroy his clan. Now he is training Spiderkit to follow in his shoes. We must begin your training the next time we meet. You must not tell a soul of what you learned tonight not even your mother right now." As she spoke her body began to disappear. her last words were spoken in his ear as he was awoken by his mother.
