The night sky was dark above the shadowed and silent forest. Five shadows moved silently along an unlit path. The silence was only broken by the soft crunch of paw steps on brittle fall leaves that littered the forest ground.
The battle-scarred five cats reached an empty clearing surround by stone. The stone mounds had caves sunk into them that looked like they will house cats well. The lead cat turned to the cats beside him. He was a large ginger tom with black paws. His green gaze settled on the plump ginger she-cat close by him.
"Fox i am so sorry we lost our home. I swear to find us a new home one where our kits can be born safely." He promised the she-cat.
"Oh Flame, do not apologize for what those nasty two-legs did. That is not your fault," Fox meowed gently. "Besides, this clearing seems safe, we can stay here."
Flame purred and brushed his muzzle against hers before turning his attention to two of the other cats with them, "Red, how is Grass holding out?"
Red looked at his leader bleary eyed, "i agree with Fox, lets stay here, Grass won't last much longer Flame,"
Flame turned his gaze to the white and grey she-cat leaning against the dark ginger tom. She was covered in blood from an injury the two-legs had caused her.
"I agree as well," the final cat spoke up. "If we stay here i can treat her easier."
"Very well, we will stay here." Flame agreed as the fluffy grey tom who had spoken padded over to the white and grey she-cat. they deserve a better home than this. The thought caused Flame to narrow his eyes gazing at his loyal band of followers. I will find us a new home.
In a far off clearing, two cats sat side by side in a near silent clearing. Faint mews and crys echoed from a thick bramble den off to the side. The she-cat was a jet black cat with green eyes. The tom sitting beside her was a mottled brown whose amber eyes glinted with sadness.
The she-cat fixed the tom with her green gaze, "I know you mourn over the still born kit but your mate still h as three healthy kits Dreamstar."
"But Willowsong! That poor she-kit will never see the light of day nor the sounds and smells of the forest." Te tom protested.
"She will experience those things in StarClan's forest," Willowsong reassured him, "trust in StarCan, they will keep your daughter safe."
"Speaking of StarClan, did you not call me out here because you've received a sign?" Dreamstar asked staring at the black she-cat.
Willowsong lifted her head to look at the sky, "I had a dream. There i was visited by Songstep and Blossomheart."
"What did they say?" Dreamstar asked anxiously as he remembered the two she-cats that had died in a battle with rogues two moons before.
"they told me 'More strangers will come. When born are the lark and the moon, The raven will learn to chase away the strangers under the guidence of a whispering echo. However in the end, The lark and the moon will decide who lives and who dies.' that is what i was told." Willowsong murmered quietly.
"What does it mean?" Dreamstar asked hiding the dread locking up his joints.
"A great change is coming; it will be brought by strangers." Willowsong meowed gravely before rising to her paws and padding away.
Dreamstar watched her go before looking to the stars. StarClan, help me guide my clan safely in these times to come. He thought before rising to his paws. The mottled brown tom padded over to the bramble den and slipped inside to greet his new kits and welcome them to DreamClan.
