Skyfeather's Destiny
Prologue
Starry mist wreathed around a semi-transparent silhouette. Two cats followed behind it. The first cat spoke after gazing into a pool of unmoving water surrounded by rocks at least a fox-length high.
"We'll watch this kit closely. Her fate is intertwined with countless cats." The tom murmured, barely audible, as he touched his paw to the still surface of the pool, causing a ripple. "One ripple causes many more."
"Don't sound so solemn, Onestar." Purred a black and white tom good-naturedly.
"Tallstar, this affects everyone, including Starclan." Onestar growled.
The faintest figure spoke next. "I insist that you two stop squabbling like blackbirds right now!" She snarled, exasperated.
"Sorry Windstar." They mewed remorsefully to the wiry she-cat.
A second group of cats padded from the entrance. "We come with news." They paused.
"Spit it out already!" The obviously cranky Windstar growled. She whipped her tail to and fro.
A cat from the back sputtered, "I…I think this k-kit will…"
"You dare to eavesdrop on us?" Challenged Windstar.
"Uh…Uh…" The tom continued, "Well, w-we…um…"
A dark gray she-cat butted in confidently. "This kit will share time in RiverClan, too."
Windstar's growl died away, along with her hostility. "Many cats…" She murmured.
"What?" The dark gray she-cat inquired.
Onestar meowed, "Mistystar, we must deliver a prophecy."
"One that doesn't involve ThunderClan for once!" Chirped Tallstar.
"That's unusual!" The former RiverClan leader purred. Everyone purred together and the last remnants of hostility vanished.
