"Come on," Sandstar said.

"I'll lead," meowed Runepaw with a superior tone. He bounded in front of Sandstar and the medicine cat and with his tail head high, began padding toward the pitfall. When he came, he stopped and looked down. Ospreywing was still sleeping.
Runepaw turned toward the medicine cat. "She's down there. Please don't hurt her."
Leopardglare nodded swiftly. "I'll do my best. Sandstar, my cobweb leaf please?"

"Here," Sandstar said as he dropped the leaf to Leopardglare.

Leopardglare rolled the comfrey root down the pitfall, as well as the horsetail. He bounded down the pitfall with the two leaves full of herbs in his jaws. When he came to the bottom, he placed the leaves on the ground and looked up to the two WindClan cats. "You can come down, I think I might need your help."

Runepaw followed reluctantly, placing his paws carefully on pawholds until he came to the bottom. He watched Ospreywing's sleeping face intently.
"I'll begin now. Sandstar, I want you to stretch her you to her full length," meowed Leopardglare with an authorative tone. He unrolled the leaf with the daisy leaves and dandelions and pushed it toward Runepaw. "Chew a few of those until they are a pulp," he instructed the apprentice.
Runepaw took some of the daisy leaves in his jaws and began to chew.

"Thank you. Sandstar, stop, and start chewing some of the comfrey root up," ordered the medicine cat.
Leopardglare then began to examine Ospreywing. More specifically, the hind leg that bent grotesquely in an awkward angle. It was swollen around the middle, that was probably where the break was. Muttering prayers to StarClan, he took a grip on Ospreywing's broken hind leg.
Without hesitation, he tugged as hard as he could.
Searing, searing pain. Searing hot pain. Ospreywing jerked, helping the resetting of her leg, hissed in pain, and lay limp, her tail tip whisking around in agitated little flicks. The pain threatened to take her under, and she resisted at first, but realized it would help, so she let unconciousness take over.
"What in STARCLAN?!" hissed Runepaw at Leopardglare. "You said you wouldn't hurt her!"
In a cool, collected voice, Leopardglare meowed, "It was nesessary, Runepaw. I'm sorry I shocked you, but it had to be done. If I hadn't done that, her leg would heal incorrectly and she would lose the use of it. Now let me continue."
The medicine cat pawed over some of the paste Runepaw had finished chewing and coaxed it down Ospreywing's throat.
He paused for a moment. "For StarClan's sake! I forgot the rush!"
Runepaw flicked his tail. "The rush? What rush? Is there going to be a stampede?"
"No, no, no," meowed Leopardglare impatiently. "It's an herb. Rush. It's used for broken bones. And I completely forgot it." He unrolled the leaf with cobwebs and exhaled. "Nevermind. I remember that I couldn't find rush, so I took a lot of cobweb instead."
The medicine cat took the sticky webs in his paws and began to wrap them around the broken leg.

It looked gross but Sandstar decided to chew the confrey for Ospreywing.

"Why not use long blades of grass,with something sticky to hold it together?" Said a voice.

Leopardglare paused. Slowly, he moved his head up to the mouth of the pitfall trap. "It might work," meowed the medicine cat warily, "But the grass would fracture easily, and it could irritate the patient's skin, leading to infections. Rush is tougher and sturdier."
Runepaw's fur stood on end. That voice sounded very, very familiar, yet very unfamiliar.
"Would you mind showing yourself, sir?" asked Leopardglare kindly and tolerantly.

"Not at all." Said the voice. A Cat that looked like a Caracal appeared. "I'm Nemesis!" Said the Strange Looking Cat.

Sandstar spat out the confrey and began walking back to base.

Leopardglare nodded to the cat, who revealed himself as Nemesis. His gaze snapped to Sandstar. "Sandstar, stay here. Chew more of the comfrey up, please."
Runepaw looked up to Nemesis. "Are you one of those wild cats they told the kits about while the elders recounted tales?" asked the apprentice tom excitedly.
Leopardglare turned his back to the caracal-looking cat and began to coax some of the comfrey root down Ospreywing's throat. "So, Nemesis," began the medicine cat, "What brings you here? I'm assuming you are not a clan cat, you name brings me to that assumption."
He paused for a moment to comtemplate the she-cat's leg. "I apologize for not introducing myself. I am Leopardglare, medicine cat of Shadowclan. I'm here to help this young she-cat, she broke her leg."
