Birchswirl dreamed himself into Heavenclan. 

"Beware! Winds are rising! Beware the Wind!" voices whispered in his ear. He whirled around and saw no cat. He was in pitch-black darkness, and the dark seemed like a needle in his eyes. Suddenly, there was the wind blowing onto his fur, gently at first, smoothing out his light brown fur. The wind gradually grew stronger and stronger, and it blew his ears towards the back of his head, and tears formed in his eyes. Finally, the strongest gust of wind knocked him right off his feet and sent him tumbling towards a cliff. Birchswirl opened his jaws in a soundless yowl as the wind blew him off the cliff like a speck of dust on the ground, and fell, down, down.

Birchswirl woke up yowling. Badgerpaw jumped up, his green eyes bright with an alert, his hackles rising. Autumnpaw leapt to his paws, his yellow and orange pelt forming spikes. "Ack!" Autumnpaw yelped. 

"Sorry, To-Survivors. I had a nightmare, that's all." Birchswirl tried to soothe them. Autumnpaw had moved into the medicine den with Badgerpaw, and they were becoming close buddies. Birchswirl glanced at the den floor, his pelt pricking with shame. 

"It's okay!" Autumnpaw reassured him.

"Ahhh....."Birchswirl moaned. He forgot to take the honey to Blairfur! "I forgot to take the honey to Blairfur! Oh no!"

"Don't worry, I took it." Badgerpaw mewed. 

"Tonight we will have to go to the Moonpool!" Birchswirl whispered. He lowered his head and padded out the den entrance. How can I protect a cat when I am always plagued with visions? 

"Oh, HEAVENCLAN! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" Omenstar yowled at Pebblebird. 

Terrified, Birchswirl followed Omenstar's prying gaze. He saw Pebblebird's body, all covered in scratches. There was a big one at his throat, and Pebblebird lay on his side, breathing weakly. "Rogues...... attack...... steal prey...... from us......"Pebblebird croaked. "They......outnumber our patrol......I came for...... help."

Omenstar stiffened, and called across the camp. "Birchswirl, Badgerpaw, Autumnpaw! Check if Pebblebird is okay! Hawktalon, Ashwatcher,Birchtail, Blizzardpaw, Rippertooth, Moosepaw and Bladebrook! Go to the fight and win those mangy rogues!"

Birchswirl was knocked over by the stream of cats racing towards the camp entrance, and bopped his muzzle on the floor. Autumnpaw was holding cobwebs, and Badgerpaw was pressing them against Pebblebird's throat. Birchswirl thought of which herbs to use. Chervil! Comfrey Root might help! Dock......Goldenrod! Horsetail, Marigold, Oak leaf, Raspberry leaf, Tormentil, Wintergreen! I'll see which herb I have the most. Birchswirl hurried towards the medicine den and saw big amounts of Oak Leaf, Horsetail and Comfrey root. He chose a Oak Leaf and set his teeth into it. He applied the soggy mixture to Pebblebird's throat, and put cobwebs there to secure the poultice. 

Pebblebird heaved himself onto his paws and rasped, "Thanks. I'll be okay in a while."

The bracken rustled as a group of cats padded in. Blazebranch was dragging Birchtail in his teeth. "He needs herbs!" He grunted through gritted teeth. 

Birchswirl hurried over and added a mixture of Horsetail onto Birchtail's side. 

"Will Birchtail be alright?" Blizzardpaw wailed as she pressed against Moosepaw's side. 

"Please don't let him die!"Orchardbreeze, Birchtail's mate shrieked. 

His heart pounding, Birchswirl ignored their screeches and set the poultice in place with a cobweb. 

How can we prepare at many dangers attacking us at the same time?
