Dedicated to Moonlit Aurora
Celestepen: "Hey guys! I'm back with a revised version of my story, written in 3rd POV, and much better. I hope you like it!"
Prologue
The stars and moon sparkled on the lake, purple clouds on the horizon moving quickly across the indigo sky towards the lake. The forest was silent- except for the occasional scuffling of a mouse, or the hoot of an owl. Two pairs of eyes glinted from behind the foliage, one a bright green and the other a silvery amber. A fiery orange tom slipped through the bracken, followed by his companion, a beautiful tortoiseshell she-cat. She mewed in annoyance, "Firestar, please. Slow down! We needn't rush- it isn't that close to dawn yet."
The tom stopped and looked at the she-cat, his ears flicking back and forth, and his tail twitching in annoyance. He grumpily meowed, "I know, Spottedleaf, but I must get to the camp, I must make sure that Patchfur delivers her kits safely, and that none of them die, especially 'her'."
He looked down to his paws in thought, a glint of concern in his eyes. The tortoiseshell walked up to him. "Oh Firestar," she purred, pressing her muzzle to his. "Patchfur shall be fine. Don't fret so much about the prophecy, you'll be okay."
He quickly looked up at her, a mix of worry and anger flashed in his eyes and he snapped at her fiercely: "But I don't want to mess up my first task as a StarClan warrior! This means so much to me, to deliver something so significant to someone so small." He stopped, realizing what he had done. "I'm sorry I snapped, Spottedleaf. I didn't mean it. My daughter will be able to help 'her' decipher the prophecy, she is smart."
"I forgive you, Firestar. Both of your daughters are wonderful. Squirrelflight is a strong warrior, and Leafpool is a wonderful medicine cat," Spottedleaf mewed.
"You are right."
"Come now Firestar! We must go, for it is nearly dawn, and they will be born soon!"
The pair slipped off into the woods.
Celestepen: "Well let me know what you think! Good prologue? Bad? This one is written like the prologues in the books, set with the cats of StarClan. Yes, Firestar is dead, this somewhat takes place after the third series, but I didn't want to use Jayfeather as the Medicine cat, because he's well *cough*blind*cough*."
