Organizing Herbs

[Sharktooth]

Inside the medicine cat den, broad mushrooms hold each of the medicine cat's herbs.
A silvery figure sat close to the fungus, sorting through the yarrow leaves and the horsetail.

Nightstone flicked his ears and wondered if he should fetch more poppy seeds.

[Burning Falcon]

"Hello, Nightstone," Falconstar mewed as he padded in, gesturing to Eaglekit, who limped inside. "Hawkkit chased her into a rose bush and her leg was lodged with many thorns."

Eaglekit whimpered pathetically, sitting down on the ground and holding out her right foreleg in which tiny thorns were lodged.

Falconstar nodded to Nightstone and left the den, probably to scold Hawkkit.

Nightstone tilted his head to one side to examine the wound.
"Well, you are lucky it wasn't too many thorns-and not too badly injured." He commented.
Swiftly, he plucked out the thorns with his and quickly covered each of the wounds with cobwebs.

Eaglekit squealed and pain and wobbled over to where the poppy seeds rested on a mushroom. She grabbed some into her jaws and chewed them, finally relaxing as the pain in her arm vanished.

"What are these things?" she asked Nightstone with bright eyes.

[Sharktooth]

"Eaglekit, you know you shouldn't touch something that you don't know about. That's how you were wounded with the thorns in the first place." But Nightstone had to give a smile.
"Those are poppy seeds, they are used to ease pain."

[Burning Falcon]

"Well they work!" Eaglekit exclaimed. "And it was Hawkkit that chased me into the rosebush in the first place!" She spit out the chewed poppy seeds and covered them with dirt. Her leg looked odd as many spiderwebs layered it.

Nightstone shrugged, and shoved the poppy seed leftovers into the discarded hole that he filled up with soil every few days. He saw it was almost to the top with brownish leaves that couldn't be used anymore, and now the poppy seeds. He pawed the sand back into the hole, and padded out of the den to search for more poppy seeds.

"I know where you can get some!" Eaglekit yowled, bounding after Nightstone. She limped ahead, stopping at the forest bordering the Main Clearing. She peeked behind a tree and many poppy plants were sitting there.

[Sharktooth]

"Oh!" Nightstone exclaimed. "Well, you are quite something aren't you?" The medcine cat padded over to the poppy seed plants. "How would you like to be my little helper?" Nightstone suggested.

[/size]

[Burning Falcon]

"That would be awesome!" Eaglekit squealed.

(She's not even a moon yet... we have to wait two weeks.)

[/size]

[Sharktooth]

"Although medicine cats are a high ranking, honored, and responsible job, they do have oh, some 'boring' parts as you may say. But now I have you, and we can keep each other company." Nightstone chuckled, and using her mouth, took the browns and dug them in the disposal pile.
"Eaglekit, are you hungry?" He asked. "I haven't seen you eat anything all day."

[/size]

[Burning Falcon]

"Not really," she said hastily, turning to face the poppy seeds. "Nightstone..." she said. "I had a dream. From StarClan."

[/size]

[Sharktooth]

"Huh? But, you're not even my- nevermind, let's discuss it." Nightstone murmmered.
Suddenly, an acorn fell on him. "Arg, that keeps happening!" He chuckled.

[/size]

[Burning Falcon]

"That's because you keep forgetting things," she purred in amusement. "Well... it was from Rainstar. She came to be and she said something about... a prophecy. She said, Two shall strike the sick and a skirmish will be lost. In the end, the rough will die." Suddenly, Owlstar's yowl reached the den.

"Nightstone! It's Roughpelt! She's dead!"
