Prologue
A lone, large jagged rock stuck out of the dead earth, faint moonlight washing over it. Dead, tall trees surrounded either side, their branches bare as bone, the color, dark and drab now. A single, shining star could be seen in the night sky, blinking its greeting against the pitch-black backdrop. A figure sat alone on the tip of the rock, his dark tail swishing back and forth, his pointed ears flattened against its head, and his eyes, a soft shade of light yellow mixed with hints of golden-brown, narrowed in the dark.
Another figure, another cat, strolled calmly to the jagged rock and bounded easily on top to join the other one. This one mainly had a white pelt. A soft shade of white, almost creamy. A streak of ginger ran down his back.
"Brother," the second one greeted the first, dipping his head slightly.
The first, his pelt jet-black, darker than an eclipse in the night, turned his soft amber gaze onto the white cat.
"Where have you been?" he asked.
The white cat's striking orange eyes resembled a burning flame, the tint of gold in his orbs only adding to the effect.
"It's not your business where I go," said cat replied. His tone of voice softened. "But it is not a big deal. You do not have to worry."
The black cat flicked an ear. "Have you found anything else about the Dark Forest? Is all peaceful?"
"Yes, the four clans have defeated them once and for all. All is fine. You shouldn't worry, my brother."
"Alright, then. I'll trust your word."
"Everything is fine. The clans are currently at peace also." With that, the white cat leaped off and padded away. "I'll see you later."
"Thanks for the report."
The raven-pelted tom stared up at the full moon.
"The prophecy," he whispered, to no one in particular. "The Dark Forest will rise again. This peace and tranquility will not last long. The clans will be forced into misunderstanding, leading to betrayal, advancing to battle. Traitors and secrets will be revealed. No… All is not fine."
He sighed.
"I know where you have gone, brother, what you have done. The Dark Forest is involved, as well as three kits. This rebellion won't last, and you know that. You are foolish."
As the last of the white tomcat's outline disappeared into the dead forest, the night-colored cat hissed into the never-ending darkness.
"Liar."
That was only the prologue and I know it was very short, but I'm not really a fan of very long chapters. However the actual chapters (not the prologue) will be longer. Please review! ^ ^ And follow if you liked it! Ok, I know not much is here right now but please keep reading 'cause the prologue isn't too detailed or explanatory. :/
