Prologue:
Lightstar opened her eyes to see not the walls of her den in Lightningclan, but the trees surrounding the island. "How did I end up here?" She wondered, "Am I still dreaming?" Suddenly Lightstar heard rustling coming from the bushes at the far end of the clearing.
"Firestar, is that you?" Lightstar called. A figure detached itself from the shadows. Lightstar strained her eyes to see the color of the cat's pelt. It was not orange. The cat was a dark gray.
"Hey Stormstar, is that you?" Lightstar called to the Seaclan leader.
"Hello Lightstar. Why are you here?" Stormstar said as he padded into the clearing.
"I was just going to ask you the same thing." Lightstar whispered her eyes narrowing.
"I wonder if Starclan has a message for us." Stormstar mused.
"If they have a message for us wouldn't they give it to us separately?" Lightstar argued.
Before Stormstar could answer her question another cat entered the clearing. Her brown fur almost invisible in the darkness. Only her amber eyes gave her away.
"Wingstar, what a surprise to see you?" Stormstar said shocked to see the Breezeclan leader.
"Why hello Stormstar, Lightstar, I wasn't expecting either of you?" Wingstar said softly.
"Now the only leader missing is Briarstar. I expect she will be joining us." Lightstar concluded.
"You are correct, Lightstar." A voice growled. Briarstar stepped out of the shadows. Her eyes were dark as she stared at the other leaders.
"All we need is Starclan, and then our group is complete." Briarstar said surveying the clearing.
"Not quite," A voice said, "You're missing six important cats."
"Who?" Briarstar asked, "And who are you?"
"My name is Lilystream," Lightstar's eyes widened as her sister stepped into the clearing, "And the six important cats you are missing are your medicine cats and apprentices." The leader's eyes widened as they're medicine cats walked calmly into the clearing.
"We know why we have been gathered." Shadowfoot, Briarstar's medicine cat, said in a deep voice. The leaders shared a confused look.
"Starclan must have a warning for us." Seafur, Stormstar's medicine cat, said calmly.
"Or maybe a prophesy?" Redwind, Wingstar's medicine cat, included.
"Starclan needed to gather us so that they could make sure we all knew." Featherpaw, Lightningclan's medicine cat apprentice, spoke.
"So they gathered us in this dream." Wishpaw, Breezeclan's medicine cat apprentice, included.
"To tell us our fate, so that we can prepare for the first. They want us to be ready!" All the medicine cats finished their speech in one voice. The leaders stared in astonishment at the medicine cats. Just then four cats wandered into the clearing.
"They are right," The one cat rumble in a deep voice. His fur was lit to look like fire in the moonlight.
"Firestar, what does Starclan have to say to us?" Lightstar meowed gravely.
"All in due time Lightstar, all in due time." A white cat with black paws murmured wisely.
"Blackstar, is something bad going to happen?" Briarstar said fearfully. Her eyes showing that she was worried for her kits.
"Yes, unless you stop it." A blue-gray furred cat said. Her eyes flashing with sorrow as though she could see their ending.
"Mistystar, how can we stop it?" Stormstar asked.
"You can't," Another cat said bluntly.
"Then Onestar how will our clans survive." Wingstar asked.
"You can't stop it," Onestar repeated, "But some cats in your clan can."
The medicine cats looked at each other and in unison asked, "Is there a prophesy?"
Firestar smiled as he said, "Yes there is. The Dark Forest is rising again and you need all the help you can get to figure out which cats can help against them. Each of us will come and tell you a prophesy. It is your job to figure the prophesy out. We want you to help each other and that is why we are telling you the prophesies together. We will start with Lightningclan."
Firestar walked up to Lightstar and bent his head to touch his nose to hers. Then he seemed to go into a trance as a prophesy spread from his mouth, "Feathers in flight will distract the Dark Forest while Lion blazes a trail like fire for the clans to follow. A Ginger blaze surrounds the clans protecting them from danger. On Wings the clans fly over danger while Soot and Night keep the clans from sight. But beware of Talons and Nettles for the Darkness has got their souls." A strange silence echoed after Firestar had said the prophesy. The cats glanced uneasily at each other as they waited for the next prophesy.
Firestar stepped back as Blackstar stepped towards Briarstar. Blackstar dipped his head then began the second prophesy, "A blaze the color of Peach blocks the Dark Forest's path. Jay flies over head distracting the Dark Forest while the clans run. Blossoms cover the ground hiding the clans scent. Sweet flowers pounce on the unsuspecting Dark Forest. A Mocking birds call confuses the Dark Forest. But beware for they might coax Mocking over before you can save him. Also beware a Bird's cry it will tell you that Dark Forest has come!" Blackstar stepped back as Briarstar looked at him shaking.
Mistystar stepped over to Stormstar, and started the prophesy looking sad, "Starlight will shine brightly for the clans so that they can win, but will make it difficult for the Dark Forest for they are used to darkness. Splashes of water will discourage the Dark Forest as they try to detect the clans. The Shine of the moon will scare the Dark Forest making them weaker and more vulnerable. Stars will shine shedding light so that the clans can see their enemy. A Willow will protect the clans as they fight for the freedom that is rightly theirs. But beware of the Sand blaze for its fury could hurt the clans as could its cunningness as it leads Fish to the darkness."
Mistystar stepped back and write away Onestar took her place. He looked at Wingstar and said, "Your prophesy is the hardest," Then he took a deep breath and began, "A Wish will keep the clans safe, protecting them from all harm. A Song will scare the Dark Forest as it brings Starclan to the clans rescue. A Wild blaze streaks around the clans fighting off all dangers. A Small stream sneaks its way into the Dark Forest to spy. As sun rises on a new Dawn the clans will beat their enemy thanks to Dawn's light. Beware of Owl and Fire as their jealous hearts are taken by the darkness." The last prophesy had been said and everyone was silent.
Firestar looked at the cats around him. "It is time for you to return to your clans. You need to work this out together. Talk with each other when you can. Good luck and good bye for now."
The dream started blurring and each leader when they woke up looked around their den and said, "Time to start looking!"
