The Prophecy
There will be six cats
Of supreme power
The first a quiet silver tom
With the ocean in his paws
A compassionate gray she-cat
With a spirit that soars
A speedy black tom
Who strikes like a bolt
A small white queen
Borne of ice and snow
A fiery red tom
Will rise from the flames
And a young tortoiseshell she cat
Who lights up the souls when it is darkest
These six are the only hope
For Mountains, Oceans, Deserts and Forests
Who will fall to the evil up North
Unless the six come
Ch.1-Dreams of Lakes and Sky
Moonkit let out a sigh. Why couldn't he become an apprentice yet? He was the oldest all the kits, even older than his brother Slashkit who had been born after. He was already over 5 moons old, and older than the two sisters Skykit and Streamkit by 3 moons, and a day older than Wolfkit and Goldkit. Although he wasn't the largest kit; that would be his brother; he was the smartest AND fastest by far.
"Moonkit!" called Snowfoot, his mother. "Don't bother Skykit!"
Skykit had fallen into the drinking pool earlier that day, and was under careful watch from Mousetail, the Mountainclan medicine cat. As if it had been his fault! He had told her the moss was slippery, and she had gone to try and see how slippery it was. Snowfoot made him apologize even though it wasn't his fault. And Streamkit thought it was hilarious. Still, he hoped Skykit didn't get sick. He wanted everyone to see him become an apprentice in a quarter moon! If only Falconstar, the long time leader of the clan could give him an exception…
"Moonkit! Could you toss the moss ball to me?" called Skykit.
"Absolutely not, young queen!" interjected Mousetail. "It's leaf-bare and you could get sick with this cold weather! The last thing I need is greencough right now!"
"Please?" asked Moonkit. "She's been in here since sunhigh, and the sun is already setting!"
"Don't bother Mousetail." came a stern voice through the nursery entrance. Moonkit's father, Waterwhisker, came into the nursery. "When a senior warrior says no, it is no."
"But she's a medicine cat!" chirped Skykit,
"She is still your senior warrior." said Waterwhisker. "Where are the other kits? I haven't seen them since twilight."
"Probably doing something interesting." grumbled Moonkit. "Please? Can't me and Skykit just go to te fresh-kill pile then?"
After some thought, Snowfoot nodded, and as the two kits walked out, Moonkit saw Waterwhisker whisper something to Snowfoot. She glanced at the two of them with an amused look on her face. I wonder what THAT was all about he wondered.
A voice came up from Moonpaw's left. "You know, you don't have to follow Skykit everywhere. You could have joined us playing clan leader." said Slashkit. "Today, I got to be clan leader!" he boasted.
"That's nice." replied Moonpaw with little interest. Most kits wanted to be leader when they grew up, but Moonpaw had dreams of exploring and of water. Not water like the drinking pool, but a large lake full of it! With the2 sky and sun shining down on it. He gazed at Skykit, whose fur was colored light blue like lake in his dream while Slashkit chattered on.
"Hey!" he exclaimed as he felt a paw hit his ear. "That hurt!"
"Well, anything to get you to stop looking at your new mate Skykit! You were standing there for a long time just looking at her! Look, now Wolfkit will tell EVERYONE about it. And that also explains why you stayed with her today when we were gone!"
"No! She's just a friend!"
Slashkit grinned. "That's what they all say."
Moonkit sighed. This would be a LONG quarter moon.
