Prologue
Moonlight glinted off the surface of a small pool, as a ginger tom sat beside it, staring into its depths.
"Even StarClan cannot see the future Firestar, even you know that. Your time has passed, and is almost Bramblestar's time to join us." A blue furred she-cat said as she sat next to Firestar.
Firestar sighed. "I know Bluestar, but I wish there was more that i could do. There's so much more to be taught in life!"
"I know how you feel. I felt the same after I lost my last life against the dog pack. In fact, there is something you can do." Bluestar got up and beckoned to something across the clearing.
The bewildered look on Firestar's face made her laugh. A large orange tom with a thunderbolt pattern on his fur bounded across the empty clearing and stopped in front of Firestar.
"Greetings friend. I am Thunderstar, founder of ThunderClan. Glad to meet you Firestar." He dipped his head and continued when Firestar returned the gesture. "I have been watching over our Clan ever since I joined the starry ranks. You have done a good job."
"Thank you Thunderstar." Firestar dipped his head again.
"Thunderstar and I have been watching over ThunderClan, but more over three cats in particular. As you can guess, these three are part of a prophecy. And I might add maybe the worst of them all." Bluestar hesitated.
Firestar narrowed his eyes. "Go on."
"Raging storms shall march together, and blood will rein."
"I would do anything to help my Clan," Firestar growled. "Even go to any length necessary to protect these three kits from this prophecy."
His companions nodded in gratitude. "We will meet again Firestar. Until then, farewell." Thunderstar dipped his head, and he and Bluestar left the way they came.
Firestar sat down once again and stared deeply into the pool. He sighed heavily. So much time has passed since he joined StarClan, enough time to make Bramblestar a leader with two lives left. The surface of the pool shimmered, and the image of three kits appeared.
'Icekit, Rainkit, Snowkit,' he thought to himself. 'My great grandkits!'
Firestar stood, understanding what had to be done, and went in search of Thunderstar and Bluestar. He would help until the day the clans were no more.
