Cypressfall had rushed ahead of Rubynose, but do to his still somewhat staggering strides, the older tom had soon overtaken him. The dark grey tabby tom rushed through the trees, his eyes trying to figure out how far from the camp they still where. The tom came to an abrupt halt and called to the other medecine cat, "Rubynose, do you smell that?", he asked. At his words, Cypressfall's former mentor had stopped as well and looked around. The dark grey tabby tom came up beside the dusty red tom, both held their noses into the wind. "That's...", Cypressfall trailed off, as Rubynose nodded his head in conformation. "We need to hurry", Cypressfall said, they'd both smelled Terraclan scent deep in Aetherclan territory, this could only mean bad things had happened.
Why had they left now? What if Terraclan attacked? What if their clan mates were injured or worse, dead? Cypressfall's blood ran cold, as these thoughts came into his mind. The dark grey tabby tom shook his head, he needed to calm down and keep a clear mind, if he was going to help his clan. Was he really ready for this? Before Cypressfall could fall into one of his usual dispare pits, a noise came from in front of them. Both medecine cats came to a skidding stop, as they saw Terraclan cats start to come out of the makeshift Aetherclan camp. "What?", Cypresfall asked, a bit astounded at what he was seeing. Had Aetherclan won? Of course his clan had won, the tom told himself.
Seeing a brake in the cats coming out of the camp entrance, Cypressfall quickly moved forward, as he did so the dark grey tabby tapped his tail against his former mentor's side. Both toms quickly hurried into the camp, but while Cypressfall came to a stop at the other end, Rubynose quickly rushed passed him and headed for the medicine cat den.
The younger medecine cat looked around the camp, several Terraclan cats were still in camp, though they seemed to be gathering up their injured and not trying to fight. Then his mismatched eyes fell on large brown pelt, even from here he could tell that the cat was dead. It was Terrastar. The medicine cat could tell, by all the cats starting to gather around the body, most of them Terraclan, and the way Birchheart, Terraclan's deputy, looked. Even though Cypressfall was from Aetherclan, his heart still went out to the Terraclan cats. Their leader was dead. Tearing his eyes away from Terrastar, he spotted Fernstar. The leader seemed a bit out of it, even though Cypressfall hadn't seen it, he was certain that Fernstar had probably been the one to killed the Terraclan leader. Who or what else could kill the Terraclan leader?
Trying to get back to his senses, the medicine cat shook his head. He needed to look after his clan mates. Looking around he quickly spotted Brierrose standing next to the nursery entrance, good his mother seemed unharmed. Cypressfall could not see his littermates, but he was certain they were also alright. Next his mind went to Maplepaw, where was the she-cat?
There, the dark grey tabby's eyes fell on Mapepaw's pelt. Good, she seemed uninjured. "Maplepaw!", the tom called, rushing towards the ginger tabby she-cat. The apprentice was heading for the dead Terraclan leader, right she and Stonekit had expressed interests in joining Terraclan cats before. "Maplepaw", Cypressfall said again, reaching his good friend's side. As he'd also gotten closer to Terrastar's body, he could finally see what had truly happened to the large brown tom. He... he'd been struck by lightning. The Terraclan leader's body was charred, smelling like burnt hair, and sticking up at ends. What in Starclan's name had happened?
Reaching over, the newly made medicine cat nuzzled Maplepaw's shoulder. He needed to treat any injured cat, but first he'd make sure that his friend was alright.
