[Prologue]
The continuous sound of waves hissing softly on the shore filled the cool night.
A little ways off the beach was a cliff that opened to a forest and a hidden camp on the top. The stars twinkled faintly as a lithe shape padded towards a small den made of branches and leaves. The wind picked up, the trees rustling in an eerie melody. The moon lit up the land in a silver glow.
He nodded to the guards - two other cats - as he walked past the entrance of camp. They seemed to be doing well, he noted, they shouldn't need relief for some time.
"Sandfur, you wished to speak to me?" The tabby tom called softly.
He pushed his way into a dark den with a rich aroma. Herbs were kept in little holes and piles. He quickly avoided stepping on a smaller, sleeping cat. A medicine cat apprentice.
"Quite frankly, yes, Reedstar." Another lighter colored tom answered quietly, "I've received word from StarClan."
"Is it yet another prophecy?" Reedstar inquired tiredly.
Alarm glinted in the medicine cat's eyes, "Reedstar, this may be the most serious prophecy we had in a long time."
"How many of our warriors will die?" The tom asked gravely.
"Too many, if we do nothing. Our forest will run red with the blood of our warriors. We are headed for dark times," Sandfur sighed.
"Just tell me already," Reedstar suddenly snapped.
"Three darkness's will misbalance the forest's rest.
One will decide the fate of the clans.
Unless three elements are gathered and united,
Blood will fill the land and sea."
Reedstar stared with bewilderment at the healer, "what in StarClan's name is that supposed to mean?"
"Our ancestors never make it clear the first time," Sandfur replied, sounding half amused. "I still can't quite understand StarClan, even as a medicine cat."
"This is cryptic, Sandfur. I'll have to make a trip to the Mooncave myself to consult our ancestors. Who knows? Perhaps they'll be a little more clear to me."
"That is a long trip, Reedstar. I'm low on herbs and leaf-bare is upon us. Besides, what are the guarantees that they'll clarify the meaning to you? Are you trying to take my place?" Sandfur attempted to joke.
"You do not have to worry about me, old friend; all will be well," Reedstar's graying whiskers quivered. "I say it's worth a shot."
"I truly hope it's worth it, Reedstar. I'm getting too old to watch more bloody prophecies be fulfilled, and I imagine you are too," the tom meowed tiredly.
The old leader soon bid his goodnight to the tom and exited the den. The chilly wind almost knocked Reedstar off his feet as he stepped out, but he quickly regained his footing. He strolled back to his own den and entered. It was a huge, hollowed out log lined with moss that was secluded from the rest of the camp.
'StarClan help me; what am I going to do now? My clan suffered through enough already. Are you going to take even more warriors for your own?' Reedstar looked up at the stars shining with the comforting glow of his warrior ancestors. Yet, he didn't feel any better.
He sighed and retired to his den for the night. Sandfur was right. He was getting too old for this.
A/N:
Before any of you go on a tirade about how I apparently copied some names, allow me to tell you that any names of cats or clans found in here are purely coincidental. I can't tell you how frustrated I was when I saw that any names that I came up with, they were already taken.
And I haven't gotten very far with the series yet (though I have shamelessly spoiled myself on the third series before I even got the chance to read it!), so if you see any names that the Erins already took, then my apologies.
But I'm not about to change the names; I like them too much.
I'm not trying to come off as a brat or put people off from reviewing (by all means, go ahead! I love reviews! I don't even mind critiques; I won't bite), but this is just to deter any angry guest reviews from appearing in my inbox. ^^;
