Introduction:
The morning light shined on the forest, with stars shining up in the sky. The forest floor covered in morning dew. A ginger tom paced cautiously through the forest, his paws took him to a clearing surrounded by trees. As he paced there, he sensed that he should stay where he is so he sat there, aware of his surroundings. He knew what this place is. It's a clearing of Starclan. He also remembered how he got here. He had fought the dreaded Tigerstar and killed him and won. However, he remembered the blow that the tree had made when it fell on him. He however, knew that his work is done.
As the tom was deep into his thoughts, three cats appeared in the middle of the clearing, in front of the tom: a she-cat in blue fur, a tom in white fur, and a tortoiseshell with brown and white fur. The ginger tom knew what their names were: Bluestar, Whitestorm, and Spottedleaf. They are his clan mates. He lifted his head up, showing respect and attention. Then Bluestar spoke.
"Hello Firestar", Bluestar meowed. Her eyes shined like the stars.
"Greetings Bluestar" Firestar dipped is head in respect. Bluestar had been Firestar's leader and mentor back when she was still alive. "I believe you caused the tree to fall on me".
Whitestorm nodded. "Yes. But we know that you have fulfilled your destiny. You have defeated Tigerstar and help stop the power of the dark forest. You have saved the 4 clans and Starclan. You are truly a leader. You have lead Thunderclan thru great crisis and peril. You taught the clan honor and courage. You taught them how to fight not whit claws and teeth, but with words and wisdom."
"And you gained the trust of the other clans. Your clanmates have great destinies of their own and you helped them fulfill their destinies" Added Spottedleaf.
Firestar nodded. "Thank you for your help. I had always believed and trusted Starclan. And you helped take care of my clan."
Then Bluestar's eyes turned dark. "But this is just the beginning. A greater evil is arising and more powerful than ever before. The true power of the dark forest is not far away. Soon, Starclan will be facing in an all-out war with them."
Firestar was horrified at the news. He thought that the dark forest threat was gone forever. "But what about Tigerstar and his followers"?
"They are in the darkest spot there" Whitestorm replied. "In the Shadow of Darkness. They are at the mercy of the Lord of Shadows".
Shadow of Darkness? Lord of Shadows? Firestar was puzzled at those words. He had never heard of these things before. "Who is the Lord of Shadows?
"The Lord of Shadows is the leader of the dark forest. The most powerful and evil cat of the dark forest", Spottedleaf replied grimly. "His name is Moonstar. His warrior name is Moonshadow. His spirit is full of evil. His life in the clans was grim. He did a lot of wicked stuff. He hated kittypets so much that he committed genocide."
Firestar was shocked. Moonshadow killed as many kittypets as he can until he was dead? That means that dozens of innocent cats were killed by him and his followers.
"He did that for many, many moons" Spottedleaf continued. "But the worst thing about him is that he was born in Thunderclan."
"What? I had never known that. I thought Tigerstar was the most evil cat." Firestar yowled in shock.
"Tigerstar's evil deeds are a mouse compared to Moonstar's deeds. He accused kittypets of ruining the honor and loyalty of clan cats. Him and his followers went every night into the twoleg place and kidnapped kittypets and killed them and threw their bodies into the carrionplace". Bluestar continued for Spottedleaf
"So how did he die?" Firestar asked, horrified at what he was hearing.
"Moonstar's fate is from a prophecy. The prophecy says 'an unlikely hero in golden fur will arise and stop the shadow that plaques the clans'" Bluestar meowed. "And it came true. A loner in yellow fur came into Thunderclan but everyone thought that they should not a loner be kept inside their clan. But their medicine cat saw an omen that involves him killing Moonstar and told their leader. However, Moonstar overheard them and decided to kill the loner at midnight. When Moonstar's claw touched the loner's pelt, a blinding light appeared as the loner's pelt turned golden and shined bright in the pitch black night. Little does Moonstar knows that Starclan is protecting her. Moonstar's attacks hardly scratched her pelt but her attacks rend his pelt and broke his bones. After the bloody battle, Moonstar's body laid there, his eyes wide with fury and shock".
Firestar was limp with surprise. He never thought that a loner could be a hero. Then again, a kittypet like him helped Thunderclan survived. "What happened to Moonstar after"?
"Moonstar was sent to the dark forest at once" Spottedleaf answered. "He is too much of a threat to be with so Starclan sent him to the darkest spot there: The Shadow of Darkness. We thought he will never get out of there. But we were wrong. He learned the power of darkness and escaped. Then he taught his powers to his followers and formed the legion of the dark forest. Some of his followers are ancient cats who are powerful and clever. He soon declared war against us and it has become a struggle between day and night. Greenleaf and Leaf-Bare. It has then become a draw, but the dark forest is quickly gaining power by the wickedness of the four clans."
"But there must be some kind of prophecy to stop it right?" Firestar asked desperately.
"In fact, there is" Whitestorm said. "It says 'Four, then five are to face day and night in war at the age of Chaos'."
Everything went silent for a few heartbeats. The wind blew at their faces. Then Bluestar spoke "we have no idea what that means. However, we should be focused at the upcoming war. We have no idea what cats are involved in this prophecy. This time, destiny itself we speak for us. Good day Firestar."
The three figures faded in thin air, leaving Firestar thinking about the prophecy.
*How was that? I tried keeping this interesting but sorry =(. I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions and facing personal problems and High school and everything. So chapters may arrive VERY late. Again I will write when I get the chance so leave a review or two =).
