Life in an egg shell
Prologue
Water trickled down a smooth passage that fed into a roaring river, there three cats stood, faces grim. "Frostheart just had her kits," A gray she cat meowed, staring intently at the river. A blue-gray tom nodded. "Two of their souls are just copies of Birchstar. Should we just take their lives now, or let them take hundreds like Birchstar?" The tom asked. Finally, an aged ginger she cat spoke. "Although I didn't live in ForestClan, I feel the need to speak. Tigerstar nearly destroyed all the clans back when my father was deputy." The she-cat meowed, choosing her words carefully. "I think it would be best to send their souls to the Dark Forest while we can, otherwise their wills will overpower us. We won't be able to help them if we let their minds wander." The she-cat finished. "Squirrelstar, we appreciate your thinking but is it right to take their lives? Shouldn't we give them a chance?" The gray she-cat asked, clearly not wanting to kill. "When Tigerstar was a kit we knew, but we chose not to do anything. Only Goosefeather and StarClan knew. We must do it." The blue-gray tom asserted. "Then it's decided. We must kill Nightkit and Beekit." Squirrelstar yowled. "But we can let Eggkit live right? Her soul's a lot like her brothers but she can still change... right?" The gray she-cat meowed, concern brewing in her eyes. The blue-gray tom nodded. "But it's unlikely she can change. Should we just kill her too?" He suggested. Squirrelstar shook her head in disagreement. "We cannot rush this, she can be saved. We just have to guide her." Squirrelstar announced. The blue-gray tom's blue eyes glittered with concern. "What if we can't save her soul? What if Birchstar visits her in her dreams? The clans will be at risk once again." The tom meowed. Squirrelstar shook her head. We aren't going to have to lift a paw. We all know that Sunmask had only just joined us. His son is really just him reborn. Lillyfur named him after well, himself. Sunkit will be kind to Eggkit, teach her that hate isn't necessary in life. Rippleclaw, I promise Sunkit can do it." Squirrelstar assured. Rippleclaw narrowed his eyes in uncertainty. "I trust your judgment." Rippleclaw meowed, wrapping his tail around his paws.
