A/N: Sorry if the beginning is boring, but it's an excuse for me to rewrite any parts in the story that I wish had been different, like if Jayfeather had stayed with Halfmoon, or he took Briarlight as a mate, or anything different, like if Dovewing had gone to the Dark Forest instead… I'm just setting it up :P
Jayfeather was crawling through the dark, feeling utterly lost. His pawsteps echoed like thunder and the air smelled of water and stone. He could only feel the earth pressing in on all sides. He took a deep breath, gulping for precious air. All of his senses were confused and he collided with walls. He broke into a run, tripping over his own paws. If only he could…
See! A golden light shone from in front of him. "My powers…?" No, it wasn't his power. If he could see he was dreaming.
He ran for the light, gasping out as the tunnel constricted him.
"Let me go!" The earth rained onto his pelt and roots far into the ground snagged his fur. He reached for the light and screeched as the ground beneath his paws disappeared. His vision faded again and once again he was blind. In his mind's eye all he could see was the light. And then it went out.
He lay, winded. As his eyes flickered open, he could still see. Joy flared in his chest until a grotesque face bent over him.
"Rock!" He scrambled to his paws, choking on grit. He was giddy with kit-like excitement, clashing with his grumpy demeanor. "But… my powers…" he studied his paws, trying to make heads or tails of it all. He whirled around and saw he was in the tunnels, on Rock's perch above the cavern of the river.
"Oh, you're not the only one with powers. You forget that, Jay's Wing."
"My name is Jayfeather."
"It wasn't always. And I have a bargain for you."
so sorry the beginning is really short, but if there's any event you'd like me to write about, leave it in the reviews and plz review it keeps me writing
