I do not own Warriors or any of the original characters from Warriors, I simply own the ones not in the original series.

Author's Note: I realize that in the epilogue I have Darkpoppy as Blackkit's mother instead of Rowanheart, so the two have been switched (which you'll see in this one and will remain so throughout the rest of this series.)

Prologue

A blue-gray she-cat gazed into a pool of water, the starlight in her fur reflected in the water. A noise in the undergrowth caused her to look away from the pool, and she nodded her head to a white-tom, "Whitestorm, what brings you here? Surely you should be visiting Icepaw's dreams now."

The white tom, Whitestorm sighed as he sat down, "I haven't been able to talk sense into him for a moon. He's determined to blame himself for all the misfortune that has befallen him and those around him. I keep trying to tell him he has a great destiny, but he doesn't believe me." He lowered his head, "I feel like I'm not guiding his paw steps properly…"

"Nonsense!" A harsh yowl sounded from the other side of the pool. A scruffy looking gray she-cat with a squashed face emerged from the bushes, "If anyone's failed, it's me!" Plopping herself down, she started to groom her fur, not that that really helped, "Blazepaw-sorry-Blazefoot-is now a warrior!" She snorted, "The mousebrained fool really can't see where his heart lies! I've never seen a more foolish cat!"

"Perhaps we're wrong in our own prophecy," the blue-gray she-cat mewed quietly.

Whitestorm frowned, "What do you mean, Bluestar? We know what cats we want to save ThunderClan!"

"But do we?" Bluestar murmured, gazing back at the pool, the other two cats followed her gaze, and they watched as two different images went across the pool, one of a black tom cat fighting alongside a ginger and white tom, and another of the two fighting, a possible battle to the death from the looks on the cats' faces.

Bluestar gazed at Whitestorm and the gray she-cat, "How can one cat have two destinies? Who are we to say that this cat cannot achieve a greater destiny in his clan then the one we have planned for him? We cannot even influence this young cat! His destiny lies in his own paws!"

A quieter voice spoke from across the pool, "If I may, Bluestar."

Stepping out of the shadows, a pretty pale ginger she-cat approached them, "All cats destinies lie in their own paws, even if we can influence them, we can't force them to go down a path they don't want."

"Well said," the gray she-cat purred. Her tone went back to being harsh, "But I still can't believe that ignorant furball!" She hissed in frustration, "He just makes me so irritated I want to swat him a couple times to knock some sense into him!"

The pale ginger she-cat purred, "Perhaps I should talk to him, Yellowfang?"

"Be my guest," Yellowfang grouched.

Whitestorm eyes were shining with confidence as he got to his paws, "I shall keep trying to get through to Icepaw."

Bluestar nodded, "Yes, keep trying. He may not realize his role in ThunderClan yet, but he plays quite a vital role in helping our clan to survive."

"And if our plan fails, Bluestar?" the pale ginger she-cat asked.

Bluestar's gaze was solemn, "Then, Leafpool…ThunderClan is truly lost."
