The snowflakes slowly danced to the white frosted ground, it was one of the coldest leafbares. With that, Oakclan is suffering, an outbreak of greencough had torn through the clan, infecting the elders, kits and younger apprentices. They are in dire need of help, the herb stores have been decimated, not a single herb that cures greencough exists in the den nor the surrounding icy forest. It is near impossible to find herbs under the thick sheet of snow. Birchleaf pondered, how were they going to survive? They are too many sick cats, and the halfmoon meetings between the clans have stopped due to the unforgiving winter. It's too cold and dangerous to go and speak to the ancestors and share tongues among the other medicine cats. He thought to himself, with a deep sigh he had only one option. He must meet with Gladeclan, their healer may have some herbs to spare. He padded up to the medicine cat den, "We don't have a single herb that cures greencough, Would it be okay if i could go to Gladeclan and ask for aid?" He asked shyly.

His mentor took a deep sigh, "I'm too busy with the sick cats to go myself, you may go but take some travelling herbs before you go. Be back before nightfall and be safe."

"Thankyou!" Birchleaf called back to his mentor before running out of the den, he had already taken the travelling herbs before he left. His snowy pawprints followed him, he shivered with the icy touch of snow. "Thank starclan, i have longfur." he muttered to himself. He headed north to Gladeclan's south border. It was afternoon and the sunrays lit the forest, making it slightly warmer but still freezing cold. He finally arrived and a border patrol had intercepted him. He told them of his dire situation, and they were kind enough to escort him to Bearfluff, their clans healer.

"Bearfluff! Sorry for the unexpected arrival but I was wondering if you have any catmint to spare?" He asked anxiously, playing with his cold paws while he waited for an answer.

Bearfluff nodded, and disappeared into his den, he came back with a few catmint leaves, "This is all we have left to spare."

"You're a life saver, Thank you!" Birchleaf dipped his head in respect and gratitude. He left back to camp after having smalltalk with bearfluff. He ran back to camp, snow frosted his long fur. He could finally sleep soundly tonight, knowing that his clanmates have a chance of survival.
