Legacy of Dusk

Prologue

Dusk paced around his den in the forest. "Clear Sky, are we going to fight Grey Wing's group?" Dusk asked the leader.

Clear Sky looked down at Dusk. "Most likely. All the more reason to start training you sooner."

Dusk jumped up and down. "Great!" Dusk squealed and crouched down. "Is this a good hunting crouch? Is it? Is it?" Clear Sky sighed and crouched down too.

"This is how you do it, but we should work on battle skills, right?" Clear Sky told Dusk.

"Yeah!" Dusk cried and pounced on Clear Sky.

"You won't be able to go to the fight if you stay like this." Clear Sky sighed. "You can stay hidden in a bush and take the wounded to our camp."

"Can I take Dawn with me?" Dusk asked.

"Fine." Clear Sky answered. "But the attack probably won't happen for several moons."

Dusk jumped up and down. "Great! I'm going to tell Dawn right now!" Dusk scurried off to where his littermate, Dawn, was lying down.

"What is it, Dusk?" Dawn yawned.

"When Clear Sky and Grey Wing go to war," Dusk started. "We'll be able to go to the battle!"

Dawn leaped up. "Seriously? We'll be able to go?"

Dusk twitched her tail. "Well, not to fight. We get to stay there in the bushes to take wounded cats to camp."

Dawn twitched his tail too. "Well, we'll still be in the battle, right? Do you want me to invite Lightning and Night to come with us?"

Dusk yawned. "I don't really care. You can ask Clear Sky about it."

Dawn ran towards Clear Sky as Dusk curled down into his den. Dusk's last thought before he fell asleep was that he was excited to actually be in a battle.
