Eclipse stretched and scratched her ear. She yawned, bored. Nothing much was happening. She saw Ash was asleep, and Feather was busy sorting the herbs again. There wasn't many injuries.
"Feather, since there's nothing much to do, can we play 'Herb Quiz'?" Eclipse asked.
"Not now, Eclipse, I'm busy," Feather replied, eyes still on the herbs.
Sighing, Eclipse turned to Ash. He was waking up, and wide-eyed.
Worried, Eclipse padded over to him. "Feeling alright?"
"Oh, yeah..." Ash responded with a whisper, "Look... Pretty butterflies..." he fainted.
Eclipse felt dizzy. "Uh-Oh! That's not a good sign!"
"What isn't?" Feather asked, turning around to look at Eclipse.
"Ash claimed to see 'pretty butterflies', and then he fainted!"
Feather grew wide-eyed, "He could die! For this, we need a rare herb that can only be found in certain areas..."
"I'll go get them," Eclipse offered.
"No, Eclipse, you and I must guard Ash and make sure he stays alive. We need some volunteers to get the herbs. I wonder who'll take the job...?" Feather wondered.
"Rusty and Dust! Two leaders of The Bending Tower!" Rusty yowled out into the forest.
"There can't be two leaders! It's either you or me," Dust insisted.
"It's me then!" Rusty shouted.
"I'd be better!" Dust did a playful growl and bowled into Rusty. They rolled into The Bending Tower yard, laughing.
Goldwing looked at them, "Rusty! Dust! We're holding a meeting!"
"Oh..." Rusty's pelt grew hot with embarassment, and he sat down next to Spots. Dust sat down on the other side of Rusty.
"Okay now..." Goldwing continued, "I have some... Bad news... Ash is close to death."
Many gasps and yowls and conversations spread throughout the crowd. Rusty was shocked. "What?!"
"Yes... And, Feather says they need a very rare herb to heal Ash. Are there any volunteers to find this medicine?" Goldwing asked.
Charlotte opened her mouth, but Rusty and Dust beat her to it. "We'll do it!" they shouted in unison.
Stone rolled her eyes. "With those two doing it, Ash is as good as dead!"
Goldwing ignored Stone. "Alright, Rusty and Dust. Go tell Feather you will retrieve the herb.
Both of them nodded, and Rusty and Dust pelted into the Tower and up the stairs. They skidded into the healers' den, where Ash was awake and looking sick and dizzy.
"Hey Ash, we're going to find the herb to save your life!" Rusty announced.
Feather flew forward. "Don't speak to him, he's very sick and could die. This herb is found near lakes and rivers, so I advise that is where you look."
Rusty and Dust nodded.
"Don't worry Ash," Dust smiled, "Your life is in our paws now."
Ash gave Dust a look of fear.

Never trust Rusty and Dust to go on a mission to save your life. XO
