PROLOGUE

The cold light of the full moon shone through a small hole in the ceiling and caused white reflections to dance on a small puddle in the cave with pointy stones. Some seemed to be growing up to the top of the cave, while some made their way downwards until they nearly touched the ground. Others actually met and made the stones appear like columns.

Suddenly strange skinny paws broke through the surface of the water and soon after a loud and strange sound halled through the cave.

"Just what is wrong with you?!" a rather feminine voice spat loudly, and even though her blind, pale blue, bolby eyes lay sight on the two cats standing in front of her, her words obviously weren't directed towards them.

She took a step forward and hit a hairless creature's back with her also hairless front paw. The creature made its move and hissed, "What do you mean? We both know their destines, Stone,"

The creature's blind milky white eyes, which stood out quite a bit from his head, looked at the two cats, especially the gray tabby tom which blue eyes gazed sadly into the dark green eyes of the white she-cat in front of him.

But Stone didn't stop.

"You know as good as I know that Jayfeather can stay here with the ancients!" she bickered, sounding realy annoyed. When her opponent didn't reply, she added a little bit softer, "You don't have to lie to me, Rock. I know how bitter you are, ever since that, that she-cat rejected you all those years ago,"

Stone moved her old body around Rock and whispered, "You don't have to live with that lie, Rock, I am your sister, you know you can trust me,"

She smirked, knowing that she hit the right point. Now she had him. She watched how Rock narrowed his eyes and yelled, "That is not the point right now! You are just trying to convince me that," he paused for a moment before spatting, "That, that giving Jayfeather the life he wants is the right decision. But it is not and it will never be!"

Stone sighed. This tom was really stubborn and would surely never give up.

Stone opened her mouth, just to be interrupted by a soft voice, coming out of the dark, "She is right, you know, Rock," A beautiful light gray she-cat stepped into the light. The darker fleck, such as around her eye made her crystal clear blue eyes shimmer even brighter in the moonlight.

Rock's white eyes widened at the sight of her and his long claws over the hard stone floor, and started moving around hectically.

The she-cat walked forward until she nearly touched Rock's nose.

"You know how much this means to my daughter," she hissed. "And you know as good as Stone and I do that Jay's Wing staying here will not affect your pity little prophecy," she turned spun around and walked towards the stone wall.

Stone was shocked. What had changed Falcon Swoop so she would act like this? Usually she would be the calm one between them. She always had this sweet touch and tried to make everyone happy.

Falcon Swoop sighed.

"I know what you're thinking," she admitted. "Why does Falcon Swoop act so strange?" she paused and turned her back to the wall. Then she walked straight over to Stone. "I'll tell you what changed me. I died. But not only that, I have to see how you," she shot Rock an angry glare, "tried to take way his spirit and take him away from me. Forever,"

Rock seemed to be exploding any second now. But he didn't. He simply said. "I know what I am doing,"

But Falcon Swoop didn't seem to be agreeing to him. "Look, it doesn't matter how you turn it, I believe that my son's happiness is way more important than anything that has to do with your prophecy," she spat out the word prophecy as if it were a decease, something awful and disgusting that she couldn't imagine something worst than it.

Stone had enough.

"SILENT!" she stared at both of them. "Both of you. I know everyone has a different idea of how Jay's Wing-" - "Jayfeather" Rock corrected her. Stone rolled her sightless eyes. "Whatever, anyway. I think I might have the right solution for our, or rather your problem."

Rock hissed under his breath. "How can you of all cats know what to do?" Rock certainly did not trust the old she-cat. But Stone ignored him. "Okay, so this is what I mean..." she started mewing.


After a while Rock mumbled, "Okay, I have to admit, you do have a point here..."

Also Falcon Swoop nodded. "Let's do this!" Her eyes sparkled adventurous, even though she was already dead. Also Stone smiled. This was the first time she had seen Falcon Swoop this excited. Ever since the she-cat joined her ranks.

Then she looked at Jay's Wing and Half Moon. These two were destined for greatness. She was sure of that.
