Chapter 1: Prologue
"Come," a blue-grey queen called to her kits to follow her. "Let's go on an adventure! We're going to see your father."
A flame colored kit bounded out of the den, squeaking excitedly. "Shhh!" the queen shushed. "We mustn't wake anyone!"
After the flame colored kit came a silver kit with shiny golden eyes. She followed her brother to where their mother was standing. "I thought our father was-" the flame-colored kit was cut off as his mother swished her tail across his mouth.
"No more questions," the queen mewed. "We must hurry, before we all freeze to death."
She led her kits to Sunningrocks, a place long disputed between ThunderClan and RiverClan. An orange tabby waited silently on the other side of the river; his ears pricked up as he heard the approaching of the cats and the mewling of the kits.
The queen sadly gazed at her kits as she helped them onto the stepping stones, until they were on the other side of the river. She touched noses with the orange cat.
"I knew you would come," he meowed. "Are you sure you want to make this decision?"
"Leopardstar grows weaker and weaker by the day," the blue-grey queen replied, voice thick with emotion. "I must become leader in her place, and I cannot do that while nursing kits."
The orange tom frowned. "But don't you love your- our- kits? You would give them up just for your ambition?" he asked.
The queen let out a sob. "No!" she cried out. "You don't understand! I love these kits, but the Clan is being threatened by violence. If I don't become leader next, the peace between the four Clans will be destroyed, with battles far worse than Sunningrocks."
To her kits, she mewed, "Dear kits, this is your father, Joeytail. You will be going home with him."
The silver kit spoke first. "Our father is ThunderClan?"
"The deputy of ThunderClan," Joeytail purred amusingly. "Come on, kits, we have to go. The strong tabby began to lead the kits towards camp. He turned and looked back at his mate. "Have you named them?" he asked.
"Yes," the queen managed to make out. "The silver she-kit is Stormkit, and the flame colored tom is Firekit.
Joeytail nodded. "Those are very good names, and they will be well cared for in ThunderClan. But they will never know you as their mother. I will raise them as pure ThunderClan; when they get a good night's sleep, they will forget this."
The queen's reply was only a sob. Then she turned and raced back to her camp.
Bluestar's POV
Bluestar curled up in her den and wished she could just have a good night's sleep. Lately, her dreams had been very confusing. She wished StarClan would send her dreams that she had some idea, if very little, of what they meant.
She woke up in a bright place, on a piece of starry grass. "StarClan," she breathed. A golden tom padded up to her and touched noses with her. "Sunstar!" Bluestar yowled.
Sunstar had been the previous ThunderClan leader, and was Bluestar's mentor. "Greetings, Bluestar." he meowed gravely. "There are bad times coming for all the Clans."
"Bad times?" Bluestar asked. "But the Clans have been at peace for moons!"
"StarClan cannot see everything," Sunstar explained. "But there will rise a great evil, strong enough to wipe out all the Clans. And there will be two cats, kin of your kin, that have the power to save the Clans from utter destruction."
"What cats?" Bluestar bounded forward as Sunstar padded away, eager to learn more. "What destruction?"
"Sunstar gazed back sadly and continued to pad away. "If we knew, we would tell you, but this warning is all we can give. Have courage, Bluestar." Then, he disappeared, and Bluestar woke up in her nest, feeling confused. The prophecy that Sunstar had given her still rang clearly through her head.
The Clans are facing destruction. There will be two cats, kin of your kin, that have the power to save the Clans.
