A/N: Hey all! For those of you who have read Playing StarClan, this is the first fan fiction I ever wrote and finished, and it's two or more years old. So, um, don't expect it to be like Playing StarClan, haha. Anyway, I'm posting this because I am currently writing the sequel to this, Harmony, and since I'm sure I'll post that eventually, I thought you guys would want to read the first story. So, enjoy! Also, the prologue kind of sucks, so don't be deterred by that. Please. xD
summary
Minnow has lived alone on an island all his life... until a great storm comes and launches him into the sea. Waking up on a sliver of charred wood in the middle of the ocean, he must figure out how to survive until he can find land. Will he be able to get to the shore and start a new life? Or will he forget his past, his name, and die silenced?
prologue
They had no warning.
The ship lurched forward with a groan, and the sleeping ones hit the floor. The ones on deck fell, and the water washed up over the sides, swirling around their feet. The walls burst with the force of the ocean. Screams pierced the once-still night air.
Moon rolled off the box she had been sleeping on. Water sloshed up over her muzzle as she sank to the floor. Her eyes opened wide as she realized what was going on and her paws swiped through the water, pushing her back towards the surface.
Jerking forward, the ship let out another groan. Moon was slammed up against a shard of broken wall, and the water turned pink. She was pulled out of the ship through the hole in the wall and thrust deep into the dark ocean water. Her paws pedaled vigorously, but she was too far under to make it. Her paws moved more feebly as black crept around the edges of her vision.
Great StarClan, take my life if you wish, but please don't kill the kits.
And she was gone.
