Prequel: As the Star Blazes

by Wildfire10

The prophecy continues, and Sparrowpaw, now Sparrowfire, is nearing something horrible. Pale, now Palebranch, is hiding something from her, Splashwhisker is evil, Tigerstar is plotting something horrible, and Mintsplash is remaining silent. As everything crumbles, a new way of life is revealed, and new cats will decide more of the future of the Clans.

Prologue

River stood over her kits, crouching. The blue-gray she-cat tied her two kits to a tree with an ivy tendril. Winds whiplashed her face and rain came down in sheets. River clutched the tree with her claws, but she knew she wasn't going to make it. River stared at her two kits. One had a flame-colored pelt, like her father, while the other was blue-gray like River.

River recalled what it was like to become a mother, with her friend Jade close by her side. How she looked down upon her kits and was filled with joy. River clung to the memory. She didn't want to let go of her kits. She feared they would die out here. But she had to protect them the best she could. River shut her eyes tight as she was carried from her kits. She opened them again to see her flame-colored kit staring up at her with horror in those dark blue eyes. River was rushed into the air, she felt like a hawk, sailing overhead. Her kits disappeared into tiny specks, and River smiled sadly.

River spun in a whirlwind before smacking straight into a tree. The force of the impact snapped her neck and everything went black.
