The fox snarled but knew that with so many cats against it, it had no hope. It turned and ran off, dissapearing past the horizon. Noblestar let out a few ragged breaths, and closed his eyes. He was slipping off, possibly going to lose a life, from loss of blood. But even when that happened, his legs would stay broken, stay the way they were. His pulse stopped, and then so did his breathing. Only moments later, his eyes flew open.

In DreamClan...
Stars swirled around Noblestars paws. He was at Ten Stones, and wasn't alone. whitecloud appeared out of the mist and padded towards him, smiling at the young leader. "Noblestar, you have lost your first life, and have not been the first to do so today." She murmured, blue-green orbs flashing. "Mustangstar has also lost a life, as you both are in struggles. But take heart, you will return soon."
Nightcloud nudged Noblestars body, murmuring, "No, Noblestar, hang on." Though she knew he had more lives, it was never good for a leader to lose one. Cindefrost raced over, Heathersong trailing behind. Cinderfrost collapsed by Noblestars side, saddened that he had lost his first life, but glad he was spared from the suffering for a while. She herself had lost two lives as a leader, and so has only seven left. "Hurry, we need to splint his legs before he returns so he may be more comfortable." Heathersong nodded and went to get the things needed, and when she returned they fixed his shattered legs.

Noblestar cocked his head to the side curiously. "Mustangstar too?" he murmured, "Hmm." He was relieved for the reprieve from his pain, even if it was only for a few moments. "Whitecloud..." he whispered suddenly, "I don't feel you made the right choice in a leader. I don't understand. As a deputy, I always thought after I was Noblestar, everything would fall into place. Maybe...Maybe it comes with time?"

Whitecloud smiled and nodded. "Being a leader is never easy, though I personally never had to experience it, I've seen plenty come and go. You are not alone in your struggles Noblestar. You and Mustangstar seem to be oddly alike in how you feel and what happens to you." She purred, flicking a pure white tail over his ear. "Don't worry. Heathersong, Nightcloud, and Cinderfrost have splinted your legs. you will suffer, but you are no in their caring paws. You will be fine." turning, Whitecloud padded away as DreamClan began to fade.

Noblestar twitched, and then opened his eyes to the world around him. Whitecloud was right; on his legs were heavy splints, and he blinked. "I need to get back to BlazeClan..." he murmured.

Cinderfrost smiled, seeing Noblestar come to. "You are in BlazeClan, just not the camp." She purred, looking at Nightcloud and Heathersong, who were sitting back a ways. "thank you two. I greatly appreciate your help." Heathersong nodded, and Nightcloud replied, "Of course. Just because we are in different Clans does not mean we need to wach a leader suffer."

Noblestar only nodded, releasing his held breath. "Thankyou," he told them.

"Of course." Heathersong meowed. "But we must be getting on our way now. Good luck to you Noblestar. I hope you heal well." Turning away, both Heathersong and Nightcloud padded away towards the MeadowClan border, conversing amoung themselves until they were lost from view.

Tigermark ran up his sides heaving, as he was older than most elders. "Noblestar! Have I come to late, I am sorry." He panted as he stood next to his leader.

Cinderfrost looked gratefully at Tigerstorm, murmuring, "Noblestarlost a life, and both of his hind legs have been shattered, as well as multiple fox wounds, but he will live thankfully." The femme turned back towards Noblestar, smiling down at the tom.

"Its alright, Tigerstorm," he murmured, but then leaning as forward as he could he blinked. Taking a deep breath, he seemed to weigh his words on his tongue. Then, he began a little awkwardly, so only Tigerstorm could hear. "Tigerstorm," he whispered worriedly, not caring about his own wounds or safety, "Maybe...you are old. You might want to...join the elders." He winced, not wanting to offend the old tom, then he grimaced from pain. Tigerstorm himself had confessed to Noblestar - surely he wouldn't get offended now, right?

All of a sudden, Lunarstorm came running up to the group of cats. She had been out hunting, and had heard Tigerstorm, Cinderfrost, and Noblestar. As soon as she saw her leader, she gasped. "Great Dreamclan! Noblestar!" She meowed, her eyes filled with shock.

Noblestar looked at the she-cat he truly and secretly loved, but who didn't know it. "Lunarstorm." His voice was calm, but only a shadow of his usual one. The pain was badly hidden underneath the curtain of tranquility. "I'll...I'll be okay....I hope."

Lunarstorm's eyes were filled with worry as she looked down at the tom that she secretly loved. "What happened?" She asked, looking only at Noblestar. It was almost like she forgot there were other cats in the clearing.

"He was mouse-brained wnough to try and fly." Cindefrost replied, her eyes alight with laughter, trying to make the moment as easy as possible, despite Noblestars extensive injuries.
