Prologue:
Bright stars clustered around the sky, casting a faint white light on a worn clearing surrounded by trees so tall they touched the clouds. Sitting calmly in the middle, a blue-gray she-cat watched silently as a ginger she-cat paced furiously in the shadows.
"Calm yourself. All will be well." The blue-gray she-cat promised.
The ginger she-cat stopped herself and turned to the first cat. "You don't understand, Brookstar!" She spat. "Never in my life have I felt so useless!"
"You're right. I don't understand. But I understand enough to know that you can't find your way out of StarClan alone. You will either find yourself in the Smoke Fields or the Dark Forest." Brookstar murmured.
"I created the Smoke Fields!" The ginger she-cat stalked forwards until her nose was a whisker away from Brookstar's face. "Can't you see? Being unable to help my clan in these dark times is destroying me."
Brookstar laid her tail gently on her shoulder. "Peace Icestar. Your time will come. Everything is under control. This path has been etched in the stars since the beginning of the clans."
Icestar shrugged her off. "What can I do to rise early?"
Brookstar shook her head. "You cannot rise early. It would throw the clans into chaos."
"All of the clans will descend into chaos before this is over. There's no stopping it." Icestar spat.
"Chaos too early will destroy are only chance of survival. And even that is slim. We must wait for the twin leaders. They are our only hope."
"The Twin Leaders!" Icestar sneered. "That has never happened before and it can never happen!"
Twin Leaders will arise,
creating a barrier on the great divide
Fire, Water, and Blood will answer the call,
saving not one but all…
