After being given the news by the Guru about the words from the Spirit, Amethyst was having a hard time doing... well anything! As much as he tried to keep his anxieties at bay about the news, it was easy for those who knew the seal point tom to see something was gnawing at him from the way he was acting. And truly he couldn't help it; he wanted information, he wanted the chance to understand what exactly was going on; to know. Oh how he wished he had been there with the leaders, speaking to the Spirit alongside them! Maybe he would've been able to keep Cobalt from speaking out of terms. But he doubted that; as much as he enjoyed the young Alpha, the tom was just spontaneous like that. He'd learn in time.
Ame spent two nights with very little sleep after getting the news and was in the middle of his third; meditating away from camp on a sharp ledge. Wind blew from behind him, pushing his fur forward and threatening to blow him off the edge if a strong enough gust blew through. Not that it would do much though, he could easily land that if it happened. Breathing slowly, Ame willed his mind to reach out into the world of the Spirits. He needed to speak to one; to find guidance and information. Only right now the usually calm minded tom was having a hard time making the connection; and it was getting frustrating which was only making it harder. Really it was just a chain reaction. He growled at himself and stood up for a moment, taking a deep breath and exhaling to try and clear his mind. He stretched his legs and than his back, "Come on, just relax." He murmured to himself, trying to get himself to calm down; nerves, anxieties, thoughts, the whole package. He didn't want to deal with these right now, his thoughts were going a million miles a minute and it was starting to hurt him. It didn't help that he was lacking on sleep; big time lacking. As if on cue, he stretched his maw in a yawn.
Taking one more deep breath, Amethyst returned to a sitting position on the edge of the cliff. He moved his tail so that it was resting against his side, keeping it warm against the wind even though the temperature was the last thing on his mind. It was more an instinctual thing. Slowly, he closed his eyes, nose turned up towards the sky. He allowed his thoughts to rise and fall with his breathing until the only thing on his mind was the Spirits.
He sat quietly with a clear mind for about twenty minutes, accompanied only by the whistle of the wind and the sounds of his breathing. And that was the way it usually was and Ame found comfort in it. Meditating was the only time the tom didn't mind being left alone on his own. As he willed himself to the Spirits, a bright flash of light radiated onto Amethyst. Surprised to see such a bright light even with his eyes closed Ame slowly opened his eyes to see a brilliant blue glow coming from above him. Wisps of light trailed out to dance around both the source of the light and Amethyst, gently touching his pelt. A soft smile appeared on Ame's face, recognizing these as the sign of a rather dramatic spirit.
And than that smile faded and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Standing in the center of all this light was a face Amethyst would've recognized anywhere, but he was having a hard time believing it. The cat jumped down towards him, and Ame watched with wide eyes, "Dad...?" He choked out, realizing that tears had begun to stream down his face. An embarrassed smile came onto his face as his father's spirit landed in front of him. He had been trying to contact his father's spirit for so long now! Of all the times he could've showed up, leave it to Grove to choose such a hectic time in Ame's life. Ame was surprised to see that his father had tears welled in his eyes as well.
"It's been too long Ame," His father spoke in his usual, deep tone, a rush of nostalgia passing over Ame. He nodded, at a loss for words; or maybe just too choked up about the whole thing to say anything. Grove seemed to understand this, and his glowing blue form shifted and the lights calmed before diminishing, leaving just the blue figure of the cat as he hovered in front of the cliff. Amethyst was surprised to see Airbender tattoos gracing his father, but the Spirit World had a way of changing the appearances of cats, so the surprise died right away.
"Did you like my entrance?" Ame huffed out a laugh at the words; it was just like his father to be dramatic... and to ask a question like that.
Taking a breath, Amethyst nodded, "It was... something." He mewed, his voice slightly raw from the unexpected tears. Grove smiled at him and than began to walk through the air to sit beside Amethyst on the cliff edge.
"We can catch up another time my son. I know why you were trying to contact the spirits." Grove's tone had grown serious. Ame nodded, not wanting to speak out of respect for his father's spirit. It was better to allow him to say what he wished before Amethyst jumped in. Grove turned to look directly into Ame's eyes, "I will tell you what I can."
...

I wanted to draw Ame being emotional ;u; And than I saw this as the perfect chance to do the Assignment <3
So yeah, Amethyst is a little on edge about the whole Avatar situation and after a couple of days of being on edge, he finally decides to contact the Spirit World for himself and his father comes to him to speak to him about the whole thing and for Ame that is a huge deal because family is a huge deal for him and he has been looking for his father's spirit ever since he died. This is the first time they've been in contact so it's very emotional.
Let's just say that after this conversation, Amethyst feels much more at ease about everything~ >u>

The Search has begun!
[The leader's are acting strange all of a sudden, constantly looking over their shoulders and staring too long at certain cats of their clan. Why is this? Rumour around the Ruins, is that the Avatar will return! Is it true, or just another kit tale used to gain a reaction. After all the past Avatar died many years ago- in fact many believe she had died in the Avatar State ending the cycle entirely. The leader's have decided to announce the news the Spirit had told them on the upcoming gathering [5/29-5/31], but until then the only cats they have told are those they're close to. Deputies and Healers, causing all of the high ranks to be on end. Whether for fear of the dangers, or excitement to see the Avatar reborn in their life time! But word gets around. Some cats may have heard their leader and deputy talking, overhearing the word 'Avatar' pass by. Start up conversations with other cats, find out information on anything at all. See if you can guess who the next Avatar is! ]
