Welcome to Dew Eagle's Wish! If this is your first time seeing anything related to this story, let me hook you up with the juicy details.
My goal for this story is to put in an excessive amount of detail on everything. Read the summary for my basic plans for the book.
It'll focus mostly on the journey, and the next book will probably be about either [spoilers] or reaching the destination and completing the task then the journey home.
Prologue
A chilling, slow wind whooshed softly above the trees. It whirled itself around and started to speed up, racing against time.
You can't catch me, it seemed to say.
It hurled itself at a nearby mountain; named The Mount Above by nearby wild animals, it was the tallest mountain in its range. All the mountains lining up couldn't compare to The Mount Above. It was majestic and bold, but everyone knew the wind was greater at its peak. All wind is worse at high elevations.
Some cats at the base of the mountain knew of a Tribe living in an above-ground cave. No tunnel led to the tan rock, no sign of life showed proof, but cats from the mountain have come to its base, traveling from sunrise all the way to sunset, reaching the base for various reasons only the Tribe cats knew.
But very soon, cats from the Tribe would travel past the base. They would push the limits and see how big the world really can be. Their ancestors, the Tribe of Stars, would choose seven cats to attend this journey. Much argument was involved- how were seven cats supposed to travel that far? "Make it eight or more," some spirits argued hastily. "Make it less! Not more than four, of course!" Other spirits insisted.
The Stars' leader's decision was final. Seven it would be. No spirit argued about it anymore.
Star that Shines Bright- the leader- chose which seven cats would attend the journey, and he chose three kits. Nobody in the Tribe of Stars agreed with this, but they didn't dare argue.
But he did choose four more very talented Tribe members, so that must have made up for his idiotic mistake.
The Star Messenger, leader of the Tribe of Icy Paths, would have to carry on a prophecy to his Tribe.
The Prophecy foretells… "Seven chosen, five will be gone. The other two's bond will be broken. The ones on the journey will be the eagle of dew, the petals which are delicate, the beetle which is quick, and the flower full with pines, the deer with the snow, the peak full of frost, and the shard of stone."
Dew Eagle is our favorite little cat, one of the three kits chosen on the quest. His fate is the most important, for he travels long and far looking for the source of evil, only to find four clans he's never heard of, even in stories.
His purpose is to protect these clans, but is he quick to protect strangers?
Once again, welcome! I hope you enjoy the many adventures to come. I'll try to upload daily. The weekend might allow me to do this.
