Shiverpaw tossed and turned lightly as she slept, hoping that StarClan may soon speak to her, having no prevail yet. "Maybe I need to wait for moonhigh to approach?" she thought to herself, trying to ease her sleep.
A dream slowly started to appear to her, it was slightly hazy though. In her dream, she slowly started to walk, turning to look at her surroundings, she could have sworn that she was in a field of some sort, as well, it was fairly stary overhead. "Is this StarClan's territory?" she questioned, quickly noticing something out of the corner of her eye, moving to look at it. It seemed to be some sort of feather, fairly light, like a Chicken's, but somewhat closer to an Owl's. However, there were four flowers that surrounded them, Shiverpaw knew what these flowers were.

"Ripplebird..." the grey cat whispered, looking up to the sky, "StarClan... What is the message that you are trying to give me? I wish to know. Please." she pleaded to the stars, waiting for a responce. It felt like an eternity to her, even if it were only a few seconds. A shooting star  flew, almost pointing the way to where she were supposed to go.
Shiverpaw quickly followed the trail, ensuring that she would reach it before she lost track of it. Once she started to slow, she noticed that it was leading to  a tree. "I wonder..." Shiverpaw moved to climb the tree, holding on as tight as her claws could, pulling her body up.

When the grey cat reacher the branch indicated, she noticed more feathers within a nest, tilting her head curiously. Shiverpaw slowly made her way over to the nest to get a closer look at the feathers. Almost instantly, she noticed that they were in the same color of her pelt, blinking a couple of times.
Turning to the stars, she opened her mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by a chirping, looking back down to the nest, seeing a small bird sitting in it, it's own feathers matching the ones in the nest. It was then when Shiverpaw realized what message StarClan was trying to give her, turning back to the stars and meowing a thanks to them.


Slowly regaining conciousness, Shiverbird noticed that she was back at the waters edge where she had fallen asleep. Slowly getting up, she walked up to the water and looked at her reflection, turning back to the stars and bowing her head, "Thank you StarClan, thank you Ripplebird..." she whispered before making her way back to her camp.
Title and story says it all.
