Lost in the Stars- Prologue
The wind was very strong as leaf fall poured it soon bitter leaf bare winds onto the sea of cats that covered the meadow , surrounded by towering willows. From the top of the trees stood cats at the long branches to speak to their kind, On the center tree stood a small framed gray she cat with piercing gray eyes.
"Frostclan has been strong through the first moon of leaf fall. We have been blessed with many kits, and many more to come, but less warriors, and apprentices. We are hoping that these next seasons will kind to us. We also have a new apprentice with us today, Littlepaw will now be training as a medicine cat with Frozenwhisker. And lastly because of her near due date, Roinfeather's deputy rank has been taken temporarily, till her kits have been apprenticed. That is all from Frostclan."
Cats from everywhere called out the name of the new apprentice.
"Littlepaw, Littlepaw!" they chanted
Littlepaw lowered his head in embaressement. HIs mentor Frozenwhisker gave him a quick glance. Littlepaw didn't not notice.
A large golden tabby appeared to speak.
"Flameclan has been, fine, and well in the hills, we have traced smells of coyote in near the Dunes earlier this moon, but they haven't come back, we still advise, the other clans to be cautious, it had a scent of blood, and cat with it…" the tom meowed loudly.
The crowd shuddered with fear, and shock.
"It's been a long time since we've had a coyote around." a young ruddy colored tom mewed
"Probably before you were even born…" a stern hiss came from a old brown tabby she cat.
The gray she cat gave a worried glance towards the tabby, her extreme shivering, and lashing tail, kept the young she cat on guard.
Thornstar is a excellent leader. But she's just as sharp as her name… Cardinalstar is very young, and new to this, it's only his second gathering as leader, he shouldn't let his mouth slip… the she cat thought to herself.
Brackenstar continued. "Also our previous deputy, Thrushpool has paid her duty's for Flameclan, and has now moved to the elder's den. In her place we have, a young, and fresh tom Pitchfall."
"Pitchfall, Pitchfall!" The cats yowled.
The young gray tabby puffed out his chest, with great pride.
"Treeclan has been great, an situated nicely this moon. We have new apprentices here with us. Here we have Windpaw, and Beepaw."
"Windpaw, Beepaw!" the crowd yowled
In the crowd of Frostclan, Littlepaw, looked up at the trees, toward Cardinalstar.
"Hey Littlepaw, you excited for the next half moon?" a young gray she cat whispered
"Of course it'll be my first time!" Littlepaw chuckled
Before he could bring back his head, a blast of pain burned, his brain in extreme pain. He staggered on his paws as a flash of images went through his mind, as a raspy, mumbling voice echoed in his ears. In a flash everything around him stopped. Everything was frozen in time, but him… He examined around for a way out, but nothing appeared. Not far away he saw a small apple tree, covered dozens of apples on every branch. It shone bright with potential, and purity. He lightly touched, an apple with his tiny white paw. It quickly fell to the ground, as the soft touch broke his stem. as it landed on the ground, it quickly became covered in a frost, that soon arched to the tree, and made it a frozen in time. The voice came back into his mind.
"The apple tree must, become frozen, to decent the lurking shadows. If love, and family, are what blind her from destiny, she will melt away from existence…"
Was this a prophecy? Or was it all a dream? Littlepaw had no clue. In a blink, time came back again. Littlepaw's gaze was blank, and distorted. he blinked them firmly to see what had happened. There were many cats circled around him. Moonstar, stared down at the young apprentice.
"Littlepaw, are you alright? What's happened to you?" Moonstar asked with worry.
"It's a prophecy, Moonstar…" Littlepaw mewed. "None like any other…"
