1. Prologue

(I'll see if I can post a new chapter every Wednesday! Sorry for being inactive on other books.)

(Also thank you to Mysteryjello on DA with some help to write this)

A broad-shouldered and muscular tabby tom sat by a puddle of murky water. Eternal mist clouded every possible place with slimy roots sticking out of the molten mud. There was just inkiness for the sky without stars dotting the forever barren wasteland. Another cat came in view, this one was similar to the other feline with just a lighter shade of pelt color. His eyes were ice blue and glowed in the darkness.

"Tigerstar, do you think he is the one?" the lighter cat asked the other muscular one. "... I believe he is, Hawkfrost… but we will have to see…" Tigerstar purred, amber eyes cutting through the mist. In the puddle of water, a foggy image appeared of two apprentices. One was a pale gray striped tom and another was a cream and hazel striped tom. They were both fighting with the silver one thrashing out to lunge at the other chocolate colored feline, cerulean eyes wide and unseeing.

"He is blind, but he has great potential," Hawkfrost commented, claw drawing a slight shape over the pale apprentice's face. Tigerstar nodded in agreement as he watched the blind feline defeat the other cat. "Yes… he does have great potential… and perhaps we can use it."

"You mean, use it fo- to our advantage, Tigerstar?" The light-tinted felis catus glanced back at his father, mischief burning in the edges of his pupils. "Yes. To our advantage. With this… so called, 'Jaypaw', we may be able to take over. We may be able to even achieve more than we ever wanted." Tigerstar smirked, ambition searing through his soul like a blade through plain flesh. The two toms watched quietly as the diminutive apprentice fiddled in the undergrowths before them.
