Skycloud's Destiny prologue

Skycloud POV

I know I can't stay here. It's wonderful to watch my sister lead her clan. She is perfect even after the losses on our trip here. I need to leave. I don't belong here.

I get to my paws and step across the clearing to my sister who is lying in the grass. I poke her with my paw and she turns towards me.

"Yes Skycloud?" she asks.

"Moonstar it's been great here but I need to be on my own." I say and she nods.

"I understand Skycloud. May StarClan light your paw steps." She tells me.

"Yours too my dear sister." I reply touching noses with my sister. I press myself against my sister one last time and dash over to the fresh kill pile and pick up a small mouse to save for when I get hungry.

I pad out of NightClan's camp with a smile on my face as I run across the valley towards the base of the mountain.

Wind running through my fur, it just feels natural. Don't tell me I'm related to some cat from Wind Clan!

I notice the sun is starting to set so I look for shelter. Finding a crevice in the mountains base I venture in to find a cat with crystal blue eyes and a tan pelt dappled with brown and black. The cat stares at me in shock then unsheathes her claws hissing at me.

I unsheathe my own claws and prepare to lunge but I'm stopped as another cat jumps between us. The cat is black with white paws and underbelly.

"Stop fighting. Please!" the cat yells and I now realize it's a She-cat.

The other cat nods and sheathes their claws and I do the same.

"What are your names?" I ask the two cats.

"I'm Crystal and that's Owl." The cat that I presume is Crystal says.

"Who are you?" Crystal asks me.

"I'm Skycloud." I say proudly.

Owl gasps and runs up to me.

"Your mother wouldn't be Birchflower would she?" Owl asks.

I nod and Owl jumps into the air happily.

"I'm Owlclaw the missing warrior. I was Birchflower's friend once and you seem to be her daughter." Owl says rapidly. I nod and sit down on the floor of the cave.

"Are there any other cats here?" I ask and Crystal nods and starts to walk down a tunnel. I follow her using my whiskers to feel my way through. The tunnel is quite wide and soon opens up into a large cave.

At least a dozen pairs of eyes stare back at me as I enter. The cats here smell like the cave. A white kit with flaming orange-gold paws steps up to me and introduces herself as Flame and another kit who appears to be sick as Rose along with a cat named Daffodil who is treating the kit with catmint. An apprentice age cat is playing with two other cats, a dark blue cat and a black one.

A black and grey she-cat is carrying a grey kit by its scruff while a white one dances around her legs. I hold back an mrrow of laughter as she puts the grey kit down and chases after the white one.

Crystal looks proud of the twelve to thirteen cats gathered in the cave. Our moment of happiness is short lived when Owl races down with blood gushing from a cut in her side.

"Rouges attacked….coming down…" She says before fainting. I gasp and the queen who was chasing the kit grabs both kits and tucks them into their nest. A brown tom with weird black stripes on his paws comes over to Crystal and volunteers to fight the rouges. I volunteer as well and soon we have five of us ready to fight as a group of rouges race into the cave with claws unsheathed and teeth bared.

A white tom lunges at a large black rouge and sinks his claws into the rouges back. The rouge yowls and tries to throw the attacking cat off, the rest of the rouges charge at the cats. Three rouges make it past us and I hear a shriek of terror and I whip around to see two cats holding the grey and white kits by their scruffs while the other keeps the queen busy.

I break away from the fight and leap at the rouge attacking the queen hoping all the time I spent learning how to climb will help me now. I make contact with the rouges pelt and sink my claws into it. The cat yowls in pain releasing the queen from his grasp.

I sink my teeth into his shoulder as he starts to yowl even more until he shakes me off sending me flying into a wall. I see that the fight is almost over when my eyes close.

When I wake up I see my sister Tappelt looking at me. She nods and starts to speak.

"Well hello Skycloud. I'm in your dreams once again. I came to tell you something." She says and I nod.

"When the glow starts to dim a Crystal will light the path for Ice and Stone. Before peace returns to the valley a Coal will become the second gem along with the guidance of Emerald eyes." She speaks and I realize that it's a prophecy. I open my mouth but the starry field has already disappeared and I'm back in the cave.

I get to my paws wincing because of the pain as I observe the cave after the battle. The queen is lying in a nest near me with cobwebs wrapped around her left front paw. I look at myself but I realize the only injuries I have are my head and a gash in my leg. I sigh looking for Crystal and Owl to see their talking to Daffodil and Flame while Rose coughs again in her sleep.

This is where I belong. I know it.

A/N: WOW that took forever. I hope you little warriors like it. I'll accept OC's and warrior or medicine cat names for them. Oh I can also answer a question if you have any so yeah. See ya!

Till next time Kit signing out Peace guys (;
