Prologue
As the group of cats sit around the pool, one cat speaks up. "Before the willow falls the sun will show through the forest." The voice he speaks in is so low and harsh that it gets attention from a speckled gray cat who is staring into the pool with a look that is so unreadable the other cats ignore her. "That is a strong and meaningful prophecy I can feel it in my bones. Winterbreath, do you know what it means?" says the speckled cat. The tom says, "Kestreltooth, I am sorry to say that this prophecy will come to us even in Starclan." Another cat looks into the pool and says, "This time the forest might come up by its roots and all will be destroyed." The speckled cat, Kestreltooth, softly says, "We have grown farther away from safety, the darkness is coming, the sun will shine, but not for long. Which cat shall we send an Omen to?" Winterbreath stands up in the starry forest around him glowing with life."I will send it to Firelight of StormClan, and will tell her that she may speak only with Silverblaze of it." As he turns to walk away the pool lights up brightly showing an image of Silverblaze and Firelight as kits playing together. Kestreltooth says softly, "these cats knew they were special and now is the time to use their power. Remember the prophecy? Fire and Silver will unite to form the power in the stars. We knew that it was not our prophecy but it effected StormClan." Winterbreath paused and knew the old cat was right. The forest seemed to stop as if the time had come for everything to disappear.
