Owlpath's Great Destiny
Owlpath, the cat from my new story, StormClan's Adventure, has an amazing prophecy, and an even more amazing destiny.
Owpath's Great Destiny follows Owlpath's life. It is written in past tense. I hope you enjoy it!

Owlpath is an elder of StormClan. He tells great stories and really entertains the kits. He's usually quite grumpy and tired. But he wasn't always like this. No, once, he had an adventure. A journey. A prophecy. A destiny. And this, is his story. . .
When Owlpath was a kit, he went by the name of 'Owlkit'. Owlkit's mother was kind, but had favoured his older brother, Foxkit. Foxkit got all the attention - the best prey, the most time with their mother, everything. Owlkit had lost hope in getting his mother, Whitecloud's love, so he spent most of his time with his father.
Thistletail was good to Owlkit. He played with him and taught him some battle moves. He showed him all around the camp, telling him where and where not to go. He enjoyed it more than anything.
One day, Owlkit woke up and asked his mother where Thistletail was. She told him that he was going to battle with CloudClan, who had stolen some prey. He wandered out the nursery, thinking the whole time he'll be back. He can take CloudClan! I know he can! But he didn't know how wrong he was.
Three days went by and no-one told Owlkit where his father was. Owlkit thought he was just hunting whenever he was awake. That was why he couldn't understand why Whitecloud was always so sad now.
Finally, he asked one of the apprentices, Claypaw.
"Thistletail? Didn't you know? One of the CloudClan warriors killed him!" Claypaw explained to him.
Owlkit didn't sleep that night, or the next night, or the next. He didn't have any friends. His mother didn't care for him. His father was dead. His brother hated him. All he had now was Claypaw, who looked after him. But Claypaw didn't spend much time with him. His mentor, Redfang, kept him busy enough.
Finally Owlkit's apprentice ceremony came.
"Owlkit, from now on you shall be known as Owlpaw. Blacknight shall be your mentor." Cherrystar announced to the clan.
Blacknight was one of the senior warriors. Owlpaw was quite happy to be his apprentice. he touched noses with his new mentor and stepped back into the crowd, leaving his brother standing alone by the BrambleStone.
The BrambleStone was a stone completely surrounded by brambles. You had to have great legs to jump up there.
"Foxkit, from now on you shall be known as Foxpaw. Briarclaw shall be your mentor." Cherrystar announced again.
Owlpaw just stopped his jaw dropping. The clan deputy! His brother was being mentored by the clan deputy!
"And finally," Cherrystar began. "Silkkit, from now on you shall be known as Silkpaw. Sandfur shall be your mentor."
Owlpaw watched his den-mate touch noses with Sandfur and stand next to him in the crowd.
The clan chanted their names in turn.
"Owlpaw! Foxpaw! Silkpaw!"
Owlpaw sat up tall and proud, while Silkpaw shrunk down as small as she could so she wasnt seen. But to Owlpaw, this was a way to prove to his mother that he could be just like his brother.
