Send Me a Sign {Open}

[Lemon Zinger]

Please...

Spiritsong stared at the stars, waiting to see if they gave any sign of life. She wanted some clue. What to do about the threat of trouble that was looming in her instincts.

Do not remain silent,
Not when we need you so bad...

Her claws dug into the earth, the sudden urge to fight building within her. She just needed to know her enemy, and her claws would seek it out until she was certain her clan was safe.

I care not about me,
but this is the only live I've had

She felt so useless knowing there were cats relying on her and she couldn't figure out what to do to protect them. She knew the threat was real, but what could she do?

This is my kin, I'd give them all
Don't doubt my dedication

Brinestep was relying on her, since she was retired and now doing the clan the greatest honor by allowing them to care for her as she had lovingly cared for them.

My heritage means nothing
Only judge my journey to my current location.

Frigidpaw and Silentpaw were relying on her, as the apprentices they looked up to the leader for a guide and model of what a true warrior should be like. She would not fail to show them how Thunderclan meets it's enemies - courageous and prepared.

There was a time I was weak
We've all walked through that time.

Her warriors: Echosky, Burningember, Nightshard, Iceblaze, Smallfire, Starlingwhisker, Fallenspirit, Seedpath, Halowing, and Snowflower depended on her leadership. They were tremendous warriors, each and every one, but their skills were just as useless as hers if she could not show them the battleground.

But the view from the summit,
Is worth every struggle in the climb.

Her faithful deputy and caring healer, they were her allies. They wanted to defend their clan every bit as much as she did, but yet she could not help them. She felt useless.

What they don't tell you about peaks
Is that their cold and lonely places to be.

"Please" Spiritsong whispered to the stars. "Won't you help me?" She asked. She wanted anything. Even just reassurance that their ancestors were aware of the threat to come. It wasn't just Spiritsong's imagination. She knew that.

So I have only the moon above,
And the stars in the black sky for company.
