Prologue
A silent mist crept over the hills, and cats came with it. A pale she-cat stepped forward. "Well, what do you think, Blacktail?" "I don't know, Mistheart. Should we keep silent, or tell them and possibly risk the kit going into darkness?" Blacktail, a brown tabby with a blackened tail, mewed. "We can't risk saying anything! If they assume the worst, they will do all they can to prevent it. Nothing must harm this kit!" A tortoiseshell snapped. "What then, if he is hurt?" "Would you have us do nothing, Littlespot? One thing is certain- we must send a message to somecat. If we refuse to speak, they will find out by themselves." Mistheart decided. "However, you have a point. The message must not give away too much. Blacktail, I think you should deliver it, unless Thornstar disagrees. I know this was once your Clan as well." Thornstar, a black tom, mewed assent from the edge of the crowd. "Then it's settled." Blacktail meowed. "I'll go when the kit is made an apprentice, in four moons. StarClan, don't forget the prophecy, or the kit. 'When branch is born of leaf and wood, he will fall into darkness, and unless light prevails, the Clans will be lost.' " He turned and padded away. After a slight pause, StarClan followed. They wouldn't forget. And neither would he.
