The pure black tom sat in camp. He had been contemplating the recent happenings, and when he would leave for moonstone. Suddenly, he heard a scuffling noise, like a mouse making it's way through the underbrush. Strange, he was in camp, and it was quite unlikely a mouse would just wander in. Besides, he was at least five foxlengths away from any underbrush that wasn't the dens. Looking around, he saw nothing. A gust of wind blew, and one of the surrounding trees creaked. Shaking his head, the tom attempted to stop the noise, as if it were just in his head. A pair of NPC kits rolled by, tussling together. Just as they were passing them, one came out on top, yowling loudly in triumph. With a gasp, he ducked his head, attempting to cover his ears. It was loud, so loud. It was like the kit had just come up and yelled right in the soon to be leader's ear.

Daggerkit padded by, noticing the tom covering his ears. He raised a nonexistent eyebrow. "You okay?" He asked.

Blackhole winced. "Yeah" he mewed, gritting his teeth. Surely he could turn it off somehow, like his invisibility. Blackhole was still working on being able to use invisibility at will, but now this? What was going on?

The dark gray tom perked his ears, angling them in the direction of the camp entrance. He then turned back to Blackhole, realizing that the leader had yet another power discovery. "Let me guess. You can hear things far beyond our territory?" He asked.

Blackhole frowned. "How did you guess that?" He asked, hoping that Daggerkit didn't talk to loud.

"Because, I've already been through the same thing. I can hear things far beyond ShadowClan too." Daggerkit said simply. His expression was calm as he spoke, and it seemed totally natural to him.

Blackhole nodded. "Then things closer are much much louder" he said. Then a thought crossed the black tom's mind. Now that he would soon be leader, Daggerkit would be having his ceremony.

"Yeah. But you eventually get used to it, and learn to control the volume on things closest to you." Daggerkit replied.

"Have you?" Blackhole asked, looking straight at the older kit.

"Yeah. It's gotten easier for me now." He said. Just then, he perked his dark gray ears and angled them into the direction of the camp entry. He listened intently on the life in other clans. Saplingpaw, cleaning the elder's bedding, Timepaw and Imaginarypaw hunting near the river, and Unsolvedpaw visiting ThunderClan. The tom suddenly broke into a haze, as he pictured the she-cat speaking to the ThunderClanners. She was so pretty... and she knew how to take care of any wounds, aches, or pains.

Blackhole watched Daggerkit closely. Something seemed to have caught the tom's attention. He didn't say anything, raising an invisible eyebrow.

Suddenly breaking away from his senses, and turning back to Blackhole, he shook his head. "Sorry. ThunderClan is being visited by a WindClanner." He said simply. If he'd spoken the medicine cat's name, then the leader would soon realize that he liked Unsolvedpaw.

"Seems like it would take a lot of practice to be able to tell from this far away" he mewed, invisible eyebrow still raised. So there were Windclanners bothering Thunderclan too. Interesting.

"Not necessarily. Basically, you could do it too. You just have to "let go" of your senses, and eventually you'll be able to hear things as if they're happening around you." Daggerkit said.

Phantompains trotted over to the two toms. "Hello!" he sing-songed, his dark tail raised in greeting.
