Prologue
Emberfur laid down in his nest, about to go to sleep. It was a normal day in LightClan, yet the ginger medicine cat felt something was going to happen. As the tom closed his eyes, he was instantly in a foggy forest.
"Emberfur, it is me."
"Dovetail?" Emberfur asked, blinking at his former mentor. It wasn't the first time he'd ended up here in StarClan, but, of course, each time was different.
"Emberfur," Dovetail repeated. "The rain in the night will water the rose and together, they will calm the fires within."
After that was said, Dovetail turned around and began walking straight into the mist.
"Wait!" Emberfur called. "What could it mean?"
Dovetail smiled. "You should know by now, my apprentice, all prophecies will be revealed in time." she mewed one last time before fading away.
A pain-stricken wail rang across the camp. Emberfur, LightClan's medicine cat, tried to calm the newest queen.
"Calm down," Goldenleaf mewed. "Dawnpetal will be fine. If I have something to say about her, she's strong. I'm sure all of the kits will be healthy."
Darkfoot turned to look at his Clanmate. "How can you be so sure?" he asked. "These kits are the future of LightClan."
Goldenleaf smiled at that reply. "Exactly, these kits are the future of LightClan. And, they've got a bright one to look forward to."
Emberfur poked his head out of the nursery. "Dawnpetal's kits have arrived. You can come in now if you promise you won't scare them, Darkfoot. You, Dustclaw, I'm not so worried about."
Dustclaw shook his head. "It would be better if only Darkfoot went inside. Even if the kits' eyes aren't open yet, I don't want to take any chances."
Darkfoot nodded at Dustclaw before responding. "Now why would I want to scare them? They were just born!" Darkfoot said and padded into the den, searching for his mate. When he finally did, however, his eyes lit and filled with happiness.
"You're a father to three, Darkfoot, one tom and two she-cats." Dawnpetal mewed. "If you don't mind, I've come up with a name for this one." she added, pointing with her tail to a small, light gray bundle of fur.
"Whatever you say. I'm sure it'll be great."
"So, I was thinking about Rainkit." she continued, looking up at Darkfoot for approval.
Darkfoot smiled. "That's a perfect name, just like yours. For this one," he pointed to the tom, a small black ball sleeping with his sisters, "How about Nightkit?" he prompted.
"Of course. And the last one should be…" Dawnpetal started.
And they both finished. "Rosekit."
Yeah, so it wasn't that great a rewrite. Still, please read the new chapter and review~
