Hello! This is my new story Bequeathing the Betrayal. I hope you enjoy it! Here's the prologue.
Prologue: The Reflection
The silver and white tabby looked down into the starry pool. The pool's reflection revealed a mother nursing four small kits. The silver and white tabby felt pride rise up into her chest. My kin will live on long and strong for many moons to come!
The she-cat had founded her Clan long ago after she ran away from the Clans beside the lake. She had run away because she felt rejected and ignored. She founded the Clan with the support of some of her Clanmates that ran away along with her because they felt the same. Now, her Clan, IvyClan, knew names such as Bumblestripe the Brave. They knew her name by heart though, which was Ivypool and better known as Ivystar.
"Reminiscing the old days, Ivystar?" a gray she-cat walked up and sat next to the silver and white tabby leader.
"Where did you come from?! You aren't a dweller of this part of StarClan!" Ivystar spat.
The gray she-cat mewed calmly, "I am your kin also as you know. Why do you deny it? I bring you news also."
"Dovewing, you are unwelcome in this part of StarClan. You must have pretty importart news. This better be right out of the mouth of Thunder." Ivystar mewed irritably.
"The words are straight out of the words of Rock in fact." Dovewing corrected. "He could not reach your Clan since you've broken the bond with the original four like SkyClan did. I decided to be nice and take you the message."
Ivystar froze. This was important. "Is it prophecy? Omen? What is it?" Ivystar mewed nervously. "Is it about my kin?"
Dovewing sighed. "Yes, it will have something to do with your kin. It's not exactly pleasant either, but all will be resolved in the end in those kits in the pool place their pawsteps strategically. In fact, it's Firestar's kin to be exact in all of the Clans possible."
A little part of Ivystar's heart broke, but then again, she thought about Firestar's kin at the moment. Lionblaze's daughters, Dapplewing and Sunpelt, had tried to murder Bramblestar and his deputy in order to rule the Clan. His kits were banished and never seen again. Ivystar had to ready herself for wrongdoings and mishaps that her kin caused. Her kin that filtered though the Clan came from her only son and kit, Ripplescar. Ripplescar's kits were Galestripe and Ashear. Galestripe's mate had just kitted as she saw through the pool, and Ashear's mate would kit within the next moon or so. Ivystar knew where to concentrate now.
"The ripples of old wounds will be revealed. Kin of the flame must place their paws carefully,or beware, turbulent storms will conceal IvyClan." Dovewing recited.
Ivystar mewed, "May StarClan guide your pawsteps carefully by the lake. I know you're being reincarnated soon."
Ivystar saw Dovewing gape. "How di-di-did you know?" Dovewing stuttered. "Why would you care? I thought you ran away because of me..."
"Well, that is true. You are my sister, and I know when you died, it was not your time yet since you sacrificed yourself for Whitewing's sake. I will watch over you. Let's just say I do revisit your portion of StarClan every once in a blue moon." Ivystar purred.
Dovewing nodded. "Goodbye, my dear sister. I hope all is well in your Clan."
At that moment, Ivystar looked back in the pool. She saw the new family being visited by most of the Clan. The kits were her kin, and she hoped that they would not be the downfall of all that she had loved so passionately.

I hope you enjoyed the brief prologue! I will explain IvyClan/Ivystar's backstory eventually if you really want to know in a chapter. The sentimental moment between Ivystar and Dovewing was cute. IvyClan is also slightly different from the Clans we love and adore. The warrior code is slightly morphed like SkyClan, which this also will be explained soon. Anyways, It would be a lot to me if you wrote a review to tell me what you thought! 3 reviews and then I begin working on the next chapter.
