The medicine cat shook his head a bit, just to clear it. When he opened his eyes again, Icepaw stood in front of him. Why was his apprentice in Starclan? The tom though, his drowsy mind still thinking that he was in Starclan and not with his clan mates again. Eyes? the tom thought, why his eyes? He could see just fine, maybe a bit clearer then normal, but that was it.
He almost gave a slight start, as the young she-cat came back with a water drenched wad of moss. "Thank you", the tom said lightly, reaching forward with his head, the medicine cat started to drink the water dripping down. After several heartbeats of doing this, his throat finely felt alive again. It seemed his eyes had been the first to adjust, strange. Drawing his head back, Horsetail nodded his head to the young she-cat. "Thank you, nicely done", Horsetail said, complementing his apprentice.
Collecting himself, the dark sand colored tom started to look around. Her was lying between Sunstar and Snowecho, they seemed to be.... unconscious? "So that's what happened to our body's?", Horsetail mumbled. Letting out a grunt, as his body was still a bit cold and wet, Horsetail started to sit up. His body felt so stiff. Once he was sitting, the tom started to slowly stretch himself. "What did you mean, about my eyes? and how long have we been.... like this?", Horsetail asked, Icepaw. His eyes were drifting over the camp, the other cats seemed to have been built up a camp around them. How much has changed, the tom wondered.

Snowecho watched in horror as Horsetail's body disappeared from Starclan. A wave of guilt crashed into him, drowning him and any logical thought. "NO!" He yowled. He choked on his breath, his decision to stay where he was now seemed selfish. Had his convincing thought about it being for the good of the Clan just been made up? He felt less pain from his wound, so he got up after sucking in a breath. His gut screamed at him to run to the spot where Horsetail had disappeared, perhaps it was still not too late. He shook his head. He was needed here, he reminded himself. The white tom let his gaze drift across the battlefield, and he soon grabbed any and all herbs around him and rushed to help the injured cats. It was all he could do for now. Heal the injured and stay alive. With Horsetail, his best friend, gone... He dreaded telling Icepaw, she would be devastated. His mind quickly wandered to Lynxpaw. He needed to get back to soon.

After patching up a small warrior of Starclan, he looked around for the high ranks of his Clan. He could not spot Hollowfall, feeling a pang of guilt as he realised he had not been there in time to save the deputy. His gaze fell on Willowstar next. She seemed to be doing well for now, so he continued looking. He saw Stormberry and Sunstar, glad that the two seemed to have teamed up. Seeing as most of his living friends and one relative were doing well, he returned to tending to the cats who were injured the most. Doing this helped him stay focused on something that was not his grief over losing Horsetail, he just hoped he could make up for his selfishness. While moving around seemed easier, it still felt painful. How he wished for poppy seeds. He wondered if his body showed any signs of injury, and if it did, would patching it up in the living world work better than up in Starclan? Perhaps he would wait and see.

I see", Horsetail answered, nodding his head a bit. So they had fallen unconscious? interesting. The medicine cat looked up, as his apprentices question. A praising smile was on his face and he nodded his head, "Yes, that could help", Horsetail answered. He was glad, that his apprentice had paid enough attention to know what to do in this situation.
Hearing another cat come over and start to speak, quite rapidly, Horsetail closed his eyes. His mind was still a bit fuzzy and not able to handle the rapid questions thrown at him, quite yet. The medicine cat closed his eyes and brought his paw up to massage his temple, "Could you please talk a bit slower Stripepaw?", the dark sand colored tom asked(He does not know that the apprentices, were made warriors). Turning to face the young tom, Horsetail opened his eyes again. His brilliant, almost glowing, golden eyes staring into Stripecloud.

The large temporary leader sat down before the newcomer, the stench of dead dog seemed to cling to the others pelt. "So, do you wish to join us or just travel through?", the large calico tom asked, a slight growl deep in his throat. "Well, you did save us the trouble of taking out that dog", Lioncloud said, looking down his nose at this 'Glade'. Nodding behind him, the large fluffy tom indicated the fresh-kill pile. "You may rest and share our prey", Lioncloud said.
Getting to his paws, the large leader turned, as he heard something going on behind him. Was it the high ranks again? Had another one died? Before he could turn all the way though, Lioncloud's brilliant blue eyes fell on a few shapes coming up to the camp. Who could it now be? Lioncloud wondered. His eyes opened in amazement, as he recognised them. First Harepaw came into focus and then... then Earthquake carrying, oh great Starclan, no.... his son was carrying his grandkit on his back. The old toms claws dug into the dirt, no, not another one. Halfe turning, the old tom bellowed out, "Icepaw, Lynxpaw!", that is when his eyes fell on Horsetail. His mind stopped and then jumped back into motion, "Horsetail! Pebblesplash is injured, help!", Lioncloud finished.
Quickly turning on the spot, the large tom bounded forward, meeting the oncoming cats. Earthquake, what happened?", he asked, stopping before his kit. His sharp blue eyes traveled over the limp she-cat, she looked dead. No, he could not think of that. Moving closer, he sniffs her. There was still warmth and there, her chest rose and fell. "Bring her inside, quick", the large calico tom said, moving to brace Earthquakes side.

"I... I see", Lioncloud said, so they had encountered a dog as well. "First get into the safety of the camp, then you can rest and get some water", the large tom said. Feeling Earthquake buckle, Lioncloud quickly went to brace his son. "Don't worry, just a bit further", the large calico told his son. As they started to slowly walk again, the calico felt and heard Harepaw slip off his son's back. Reaching over, he grabbed the apprentice by the scruff of her neck. Giving Earthquake an encouraging smile, the large tom carried to apprentice. In the large toms jaws, the apprentice almost looked like a kit.
As they reached the boundaries of the camp, Lioncloud placed Harepaw under a bush. Looking up, he checked to make sure that a medicine cat was coming to help. Looking to Earthquake, he nuzzled his son's shoulder. "You did well, rest and look after them", Lioncloud said, nodding to Harepaw and Pebblesplash. His eyes grew hard and determined, as the tom looked past his son and into the forest. "I'll go after the others, that are still out there. It's bad enough that we have dogs and", here Lioncloud nodded over his shoulder, "a stranger, but to have so many of our warriors and apprentices out. We need to have them back here", the temporary leader told his co leader. "Rest", the large fluffy tom told Earthquake again, tapping his shoulder as he past.

Heading out of the makeshift camp, Lioncloud paused on a ridge. Parting his jaw, the large tom tasted the air. Slowly, but surely the scents of all his clanmates came into focus. So many where out, Lioncloud shook his head. He had made a bad call, everyone should've stayed inside. Bounding off the ledge, the large tom started to head after the strongest scent trail. He soon stopped though, when a noise reached his ears, there was something out there and it was closing in on his fast. Getting into a stance, to meet whatever was coming at him head on, Lioncloud braced.
A large dog suddenly broke through the underbrush to his right, the large tom quickly moved out of the way as the beast pounced for him. Letting out a growl and a hiss, the large calico swiped at the dogs flank. His claws made contact and tore through the dogs hind flank. The beast quickly turned and snapped for Lioncloud, the old tom only just was able to get out of the way. This dog was large, far larger than the dog that had been near the camp before. There was fire in his old bones, how dare these beasts come and attack their clan. Leaping forward, Lioncloud landed on the dogs back. Biting down hard the large tom held onto the dogs neck, as it tried to throw him off. After several heartbeats, Lioncloud let go and landed safely on his paws. A evil grin came to the old tom's face, when he was younger this old cat had face many enemies in battle, including dogs. Letting out a screech, Lioncloud bolted forward and latched onto the dogs throat. Biting down hard, the large tom held on, as the dog struggled. Until the mange pelt composed, being dragged down by Lionclouds weight and from blood loss and air loss. Releasing the now dead dog, the old tom looked down at it. The dogs where this close, maybe he should stay around camp, just to make that they were not attacked. Shaking out his ruffled pelt, the tom walked away from the dead dog.
