⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆ If you are in Starclan, skip to number 1. If you are a Shade, skip to number 2. If you are in the Dark Forest, skip to number 3. ... 1. You pad along the starry meadows of Starclan, and stumble across a log that looks out of place. It appears to be rotting, a feat that shouldn't be able to happen in this land, and you know you need to investigate. Stepping closer to check it out you see a bundle of purple flowers and a scratched marking resembling a blossoming flower. Perhaps you should find the source. Yes, perhaps. You pick up the flowers and store them away. They'd make a nice accessory later. After you've completed that, you'll make your way along the river, following patches of these odd flowers, until the path ends at a densely planted grove with trees so close and so large it seems to have no way inside. You squeeze your way through a small gap in the roots and pop out into a clearing. The purple flowers are planted everywhere and cats sit around conversing or playing. To your left a small pile of fish and mice lay in a hollow in a tree, and to your right is the border, which seems to have a parallel of the scene you're standing in. A paw taps your shoulder, making you jump, and when you turn, you see a small kit that could be no older than three moons. "Hello," the kit squeaks. "Are you new? I've not seen you in the grove yet." You reply with a nervous tremor, "Yes, I stumbled here on accident." The kit fixes you with a long stare before smiling. "Welcome then! My name is Beekit." You ask what this place is and Beekit tells you its the Grove. Glancing at the flowers you ask what those are too. "Those are our special accessory! Only members of the Grove should wear them." So that's what it was. "Since you're here we'll place you in team Starclan. I'm your leader and the one you should ask questions to if you have any. You've actually arrived on our most recent meeting!" The small tom beamed and showed you to a moss-lined root. You nearly fell asleep when the sound of cats hissing and talking jolted you awake. Glancing forwards you see a large red and ginger cat on the other side of the border accompanied by other dark forest participants. Beekit and the stranger exchange words with a calico cat whose eyes seemed to pour a stream of eternal tears. It was time for the meeting to begin. ... 2. You wander through the lands of both good and evil, and stumble across a log that looks out of place. It appears to be alive, which shouldn't be able to happen in the land of the dead, and you know you need to investigate. Stepping closer to check it out you see a bundle of purple flowers and a scratched marking resembling a blossoming flower. Perhaps you should find the source. Yes, perhaps. You pick up the flowers and store them away. They'd make a nice accessory later. After you've completed that, you'll make your way along the river that ran along the borders, following patches of these odd flowers, until the path ends at a densely planted grove with trees so close and so large it seems to have no way inside. You squeeze your way through a small gap in the roots and pop out into a clearing. The purple flowers are planted everywhere and cats sit around conversing or playing. To your left a small pile of fish and mice lay in a hollow in a tree, and to your right is the border, which seems to have a parallel of the scene you're standing in. A calico turns to you and asks, voice echoing through the grove, "Are you here to mediate the meeting?" You don't know how to respond, so you nod. The calico blinks. "Welcome to our meeting. I am Scatteredblossom, leader of the Mediators. You will watch the meeting commence and learn from your new peers." Once they finished their speech, Scatteredblossom turned to a small kit and large cat. "Shall we?" The kit asked, receiving nods from the other two. It was time for the meeting to begin.
... 3. You pad along the rotting wasteland known as the dark forest, and stumble across a log that looks out of place. It appears to be perfectly normal, perhaps even star-speckled, and you know you need to investigate. Stepping closer to check it out you see a bundle of purple flowers and a scratched marking resembling a blossoming flower. Perhaps you should find the source. Yes, perhaps. You pick up the flowers and store them away. They'd make a nice accessory later. After you've completed that, you'll make your way through the woods, following patches of these odd flowers, until the path ends at a densely planted grove with trees so close and so large it seems to have no way inside. You squeeze your way through a small gap in the roots that was cleared of brambles and pop out into a clearing. The purple flowers are planted everywhere and cats sit around conversing or playing. To your left a small pile of rabbit and mice lay in a hollow in a tree, and to your right is the border, which seems to have a parallel of the scene you're standing in. You walk around, distracted by the scene, and collide with a large ginger and red cat, who hisses before settling. "I was not informed of a new member." The cat growled. You swallow nervously. "I suppose you could join the meeting. My name is Limerose, remember that, new blood. I am your superior in this Grove, along with your new leader." Limerose raised her head. "You are to sit quietly and watch the rest of us until you've understood how this works. It was time for the meeting to begin. ⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆⊱༻᯽༺⊰⋆
