The Renaissance - Book 2: Eclipse - Prologue & Allegianes

This story begins exactly where Rising Sun left off. :)

I don't own Warriors.


Prologue

A gray she-cat sat near a waterfall. She gazed down at the thousands of gallons of water plunging over the edge in perpetual motion. The mist that rose up from the base of the waterfall dampened her fur, but she had chosen this meeting spot for a special reason—the same reason she had when she had chosen it before.

"Bluestar," a tom's voice meowed calmly.

Bluestar did not look up from the water as a ginger tom approached her. "Greetings, Firestar. Good hunting, I presume?"

He dipped his head. "Good as always. Sandstorm and I were sharing a thrush when I got your message. You wanted to speak with me?"

She nodded. "Yes, but not yet, Firestar. We have a few more cats we are waiting on," she meowed. "I'm sure you're wondering why I chose this meeting place… We mustn't be overheard by any others… No need to worry anyone. Firestar, I fear that Sunblaze's challenges are still only just beginning."

"I should say so!" a raspy she-cat's voice agreed. Firestar purred as a ragged gray she-cat with scars covering her pelt padded forward.

"Yellowfang," he greeted her happily. "How's the prey running?"

The medicine cat bared her teeth and let out a hiss of annoyance. "There's no time for niceties, Firestar!" she snapped. "This mist is soaking into my pelt! Bluestar the last time you called me here, I ached for a moon! Spottedleaf did too!"

The ginger tom looked away, an undeterminable emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly pushed it away. "Be that as it may," Bluestar continued, ignoring the former medicine cat that opened her jaw to say more. "This is important, just as it was before… Fire is growing stronger… Cinderheart has joined StarClan and Stoneclaw is dead…"

"But ThunderClan's problems are not over," Firestar continued. "This is the calm before the storm."

Yellowfang let out an annoyed hiss. "And what do you two geniuses think we should do about it exactly?"

Bluestar looked at her Clan-mate. Her blue eyes seemed glazed with worry. "I think that Sunblaze should go away for a different kind of training—a training that the Clans cannot give her."

The former medicine cat stared a Bluestar for a long moment. "What are you thinking Bluestar?" she inquired hesitantly. It was obvious that she feared whatever Bluestar had in mind.

"I think that she should visit Midnight."

"Midnight the badger?" Firestar inquired with wide green eyes

"No, Midnight the Twoleg! What do you think?" Yellowfang snapped, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Firestar glared at her before returning his attention to Bluestar. "Do you really think that's necessary?" he asked.

Bluestar sighed. "I believe that Midnight will give her the answers she is searching for. The badger knows more than we do… She could help her make sense of everything."

"But why would Sunblaze need to learn more? The Three never searched her out for help," Yellowfang pointed out.

"The Three had a threat that was not an immediate danger. This one is. I fear that Sunblaze might not be strong enough on her own. This darkness is too powerful… Even the sun cannot shine when there's an eclipse," Bluestar mewed solemnly.

All of the cats were silent for a long moment as they recognized the truth in Bluestar's words. Finally, Firestar asked, "Should I tell her to find Midnight? I'll walk in her dreams and tell her where to find her."
The gray she-cat nodded. "Yes. Go now, my apprentice. I will speak with Bramblestar. Yellowfang, I want you to go to Jayfeather."

Yellowfang hissed. "Why do I get the moody one?"

"Now, Yellowfang," Bluestar growled in annoyance.

The three cats began to fade as they focused on walking in the dreams of their assigned cats. Each of them knew that a dark time was approaching, and the frightening part was, the chosen cat to defeat this darkness might not be powerful enough to do what the prophecy proclaimed.
