The next morning, we see SwirlPaw lying on his back on a nice, comfortable rock, with a small yet spacious area. Surrounded by trees and bushes.
As we see movement in the bushes, looking as if something was heading towards him.
Then TigerPaw leaped up as high as she could get. SwirlPaw then wakes up as he quickly gets up from his spot.
TigerPaw lands and quickly turns around, but then she gets tackled down by SwirlPaw.
“You got me! Ehhhh!!!!”. TigerPaw wined.
“Nope.” SwirlPaw nuzzled his head against TigerPaw, tickling her.
“Ah! You little devil!” TigerPaw started to laugh a bit, and after a while, SwirlPaw backed up.
“You were faking it.” TigerPaw was referring to him sleeping.
“Yep!” SwirlPaw looked a bit smug.
“Agh! Next time I'll get better, just wait and see!”.
“I look forward to it.”
The bushes then started to move, as SwirlPaw and TigerPaw lowered their ears.
SwirlPaw sniffs the air, “Wait… I recognize this scent.” His ears went up a bit.
TigerPaw looks at SwirlPaw and then sniffs the air, trying to also get the scent.
“It's…” They both added.
Then MoonFall comes in, out of breath.
“MoonFall!” SwirlPaw and TigerPaw added.
“There you both are!” MoonFall rushes to them.
“Don’t you ever run off like that, I was supposed to look after you for a bit.” MoonFall said in a strict tone.
“Sorry… MoonFall..” SwirlPaw and TigerPaw added, both of them looking down.
MoonFall sighs, “Well, it's great that you're both safe, you know that there are foxes around here.”
…
MoonFall looks at them as she smiles, “Come, let's head back to camp.”
“Right!” Both of them answered.
They head back to camp, but as they did…
MoonFall then notices something, as she quickly stops walking and backs up a bit. “Both of you lower your bodies down and try not to make a sound.” She said it somewhat of a whisper.
Both of them lower their bodies down
It would be quiet for a bit, then MoonFall stood up tall. “We are good now.”
“MoonFall, what was that? That scent.. I do not recognize it at all.”. SwirlPaw added.
“Of course not, you have never met them before…” MoonFall responded.
“Who were they?”. TigerPaw said curiously.
“They are from ThornClan.” MoonFall looked over at the apprentices, “You have to both promise me, if you ever cross paths with them, do not engage in a fight with them. They are not so sympathetic, they will kill you on the spot. Even better, try to stay far away from them.”.
“Why are they so cruel?”. TigerPaw tilted her head.
“Because…. They hate us, ThornClan, has always been a thorn in our side, literally a thorn. They think that we killed one of their clanmates and stole their prey, although that may have been one of the events that triggered; there were many more that led us and ThornClan to hate each other.”.
TigerPaw pouted cutely, “Why can't we all get along….It would be fun if I could play with others. SwirlPaw is no fun sometimes.”
“Hey! That's not true!” SwirlPaw quickly rebutted before TigerPaw could go on any further.
MoonFall just smiles at their antics and laughs quietly. “Come on, we have to go. Stay close behind me, okay?”
SwirlPaw and TigerPaw swiftly nodded together. “Okay!”

HazelWing was waiting by the treeline for SwirlPaw.
MoonFalls comes out of the forest with SwirlPaw and TigerPaw behind her.
SwirlPaw smiles and runs towards his mentor.
“Mentor! I'm back and I'm ready for training!”
HazelWing smiles happily and rubs their head against SwirlPaw.
“That's good. I'm happy you're back safe and sound.”
MoonFall smiles gently and walks up next to HazelWing.
“Well, me and TigerPaw have training to get to, so I'll see you later. HazelWing.”
HazelWing nods and waves away MoonFall and TigerPaw.
“Alright, have a nice day. I'll see you around.”
MoonFall walks off back into the forest with TigerPaw behind her. TigerPaw waves a quick goodbye to SwirlPaw before following MoonFall quickly.
SwirlPaw sits down softly on the ground and looks at HazelWing.
“So what are we gonna learn about today?”
The background slowly starts to fade as HazelWing gives a soft smile.
“We're going to learn about what it means to give your all….”

The scene changes, as we then see CloverMoss scribbling in the ground with her claws.
“OoooOoo watcha drawing?” RaccoonDust came out of nowhere, standing behind CloverMoss, looking at the scribble in the ground.
“NOTHING!” CloverMoss shouted as she scratched out the drawing, but then realized that she had yelled. “Ah, sorry.. didn't mean to yell like that.”
RaccoonDust tilted her head for a bit before sitting down next to CloverMoss. “So… mind telling me what's up?”.
CloverMoss shrugs a bit before letting out a soft sigh. “I don't know…”
RaccoonDust looked at CloverMoss with an empathetic look upon her face for a bit. She then bumps herself against CloverMoss.
“Hey.” CloverMoss looked over at him.
“Come'on, you should smile more CloverMoss! You keep being like that, you're going to grow old faster.”
“...Are you trying to make me mad?”.
RaccoonDust shakes her head as she smiles.
CloverMoss sighs a bit before she smiles. “Thanks for cheering me up.”.
“No probs”.
RaccoonDust stands up, “Wanna go get something to eat from the fresh-kill pile?”.
“Sure, I would like that”. CloverMoss stands as they head back to the camp.

PrismrosePetal would be asleep, as we see his dream. It would be her in the center of the view, as everything around him was dark. “Hello?...”.
PrismrosePetal turns and looks each way as she walks slightly. “Where am I?.. Is anyone there?”.
“PrismrosePetal!…”. An echo is voiced from afar, as PrismrosePetal turns around, trying to find where it's located. “PrismrosePetal!”. The voice would sound familiar and slightly clearer.
“PrismrosePetal!”. It would sound clearer, familiar to PrismrosePetal. “Mom?....”. PrismrosePetal turns over as she sees a light, ghostly blue figure of her mom. “You need to run!”.
PrismrosePetal wakes up from the dream, as she breathes heavily. She tried to calm her nerves and control her breathing as she breathed more calmly.
‘Not again..’.
‘Every few days I get this same dream… I’m not sure if this is some sort of way StarClan is trying to tell me something… But if it isn’t or if this is some sort of sick joke.. I don’t want this..’.
‘No. I have to bear this, for my mother, this is what she would have wanted me to be from the start.’. PrismrosePetal stands up as she gets ready for the day.
She heads out of the medicine den, as she looks up at the early morning sky.
‘So when will you finally be proud of me?’.
“Hey PrismrosePetal morning.”. PrismrosePetal hears a familiar voice as she turns over and sees HazelWing. “Morning, HazelWing, you're quite the early bird.”.
HazelWing looks a little bit worried. “Are you alright? Did you have a nightmare or something? You're sweating.”
PrismrosePetal looks up at HazelWing, “yeah… umm.. Do you think we could talk, but you can’t tell anyone.”.
HazelWing quickly nods, “Of course. Why would I tell anyone anyway? It's none of their business. They don't need to know about everything in your life. So, tell me. What's going on?”
PrismrosePetal motioned for HazelWing to follow, as they headed more in the forest, then later they walked near a bright shimmering river that looked like it was glowing, as they sat down.
PrismrosePetal sighs, “I’m not sure if this is some sort of vision that StarClan is trying to tell me, or if this is some sort of sick joke. Every few days, I would have this same nightmare, or some sort of dream. It was dark and empty, but when I turned around to the calling of my mother's voice, I woke up. It’s as if it’s replaying with that time that my mother…”. PrismrosePetal started to tear up a bit.
HazelWing frowns, “Yeah, I get what you're saying. I don't know what's going on with me either…. It's super weird. Are those the only things that you see in your dreams? They must be prophetic.”
HazelWing looks towards PrismrosePetal to see what she thinks of her own dreams.
“But if it is prophetic, why was my mother there? She is dead for StarClan's sake. They killed her during that one war, and so now they're trying to say something to me? I don’t believe she is alive, but I haven’t seen her in StarClan either though- I guess I don’t know what to think about this.”. PrimrosePetal responded.
HazelWing looked away from PrismrosePetal, “Maybe she's in…. Never mind.” HazelWing shook their head.
PrismrosePetal sighed, “do you think she is alive?”. She looks at HazelWing.
HazelWing squints at PrismrosePetal, “I mean it's either she's alive or you know…she's in the *cough* opposite place of the StarClan.”
“I…. I don’t think she would be there… although she was well, you know, you saw how she was. But I think the reason she was always tough on me was because she cared about me.”. PrismrosePetal looked down at the river.
HazelWing nods slowly, “I know, I was just stating all of the options she could be, other than StarClan.”
“Or maybe she was stuck in between? It could happen? I mean, what else can explain it?”.
HazelWing sighs, “Yeah, or in the in-between. Are you going to check though? It's going to be hard on you if you do.”
“I don’t think I’m able to, I can only have a connection to StarClan by the Moonpool or Moonstone, I think so at least.”.
HazelWing sighs and gets up from her spot, “Well, then I don't know what I can do to help, but if you need me, I will always be there for you. I'm sorry that I have to leave early, but I need to go check the clan's boundaries and get some kills.”
“Ah… right, thank you for coming out like this.”. PrismrosePetal smiles as she nudges against her fur on them. “It means a lot, well then I’ll talk to you later then?”.
HazelWing nodded as they left him.
A silhouette of a cat from behind the trees was looking at PrismrosePetal, they would then leave the scene.
