It was a beautiful day. Flowerstream was enjoying the sun hitting her back, warming her. She looked around. The area was  beautiful. Trees gathered around, listening to the her paws step as she walked, the undergrowth parting to let her through. Small critters hiding from her, franticly running. Flowerstream didn't care. Though something was wrong. Something didn't seem right. She started walking deeper into the forest. The trees blocked out the sun, and the ground lay in ominous shadow. Something was telling her to turn around and go back, but at the same time, something was pulling her into the shadows. She walked a long winding trail. Mist was forming around her.

    “Welcome, Flowerstream. I have been expecting you.” said a voice. In front of her, was a hollow will a pool in the center. In the pool was a page from a website. It had been abandoned for moons. Behind the pool was a cat. Her pelt was black and white. She had green eyes. Green eyes that almost seemed could pierce one's thoughts and read them, rip time and look through the future or past.

    “Wh.. who are you?” she asked.

    “I am Iceflower. I have been gaurdian of the page, the Moonpage, for many long moons.”

    “So you have been just sitting here forever?” Said Flowerstream. Iceflower looked old and frail.

I am now too old to stay here. I have brought you here to take over for me.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">    <span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">“But I can't! I have a long life to live! I don’t want to sit here all my life!”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">    <span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">“Do not worry, young one. You do not need to sit here every night of everyday. You must come here once a moon and guard it. And when your time comes to visit the elders, come here, until you can find another to take your position, and the you may go to Starclan… They are coming for me Flowerstream. Guard this pool well…” <span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">

I have so many more… Questions...” And with that, Iceflower faded, then turned to dust.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Many, many moons later…
