(1.31) Sparkling Silhouettes
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
On the night of the full moon, an eerie stillness filled the camp... for every cat but Lilacdream, anyway.
For her, the full moon was always when the Star Cats were most active. Often, the healer found herself sitting and listening, watching their wisps and sparkles as they flittered about.
Here in LightClan's camp, however, things worked a little differently. She wasn't used to being able to recognize the Star Cats, after all.
In particular, Lilacdream was able to faintly recognize a kit-shaped silhouette tailing Pepperfrost around. With a little bit of cognitive thinking, it only made sense that this was Berrykit's spirit following her mother. Of course, Pepperfrost couldn't see this herself. Lilacdream figured she shouldn't tell her sister this particular detail. It would be far too troublesome, far too distressing so soon after the kit's death.
Typically, Lilacdream wouldn't speak to the Star Cats unless spoken to, but seeing the lost little spirit of her niece floating over the snow... well, that was a much different story.
"Hello?" She called out softly to the starry silhouette. Berrykit immediately perked up and turned, noticing that a cat was looking directly at her, and then excitedly floating over. The kit didn't whisper to her like Star Cats usually did, however. Was it because she was too young? Or was it because this was a new place?
Berrykit sniffed at her tentatively, then seemed to perk up once more, excitedly darting off in a playful manner.
"Woah- wait for me..!" Lilacdream whisper-shouted, trying to get the spirit's attention and not her clanmates'. However, this effort was in vain, and as Berrykit charged straight for the border surrounding camp... she disappeared into a puff of star-sparkles.
The wisps led a soft trail across the thunderpath and farther east, but Lilacdream had no idea where the kit was trying to lead her. It was far too late to be exploring, anyhow...
Was this some sort of omen? Lilacdream would have to discuss this with Lightrunner and Stormflower soon... She couldn't quite make sense of it.

The StarClan spirit of Berrykit visits the clan overnight, seeming to lead Lilacdream somewhere, though the healer doesn't follow.
Briarclaw's spirit visits too, but nobody in the clan witnesses it.
