The prophecy of darkness
Prolouge
A splash from the river pierced the silent darkness. Blackstripe pricked her ears and raised her head. She heard a distant mew for help. She jumped to her feet and raced down to the Wildwaters. She skidded to a halt on the beach, spraying shingle into the air. She looked around desperately, searchin for a sign of life. She finally saw a head emerge from the water, and she ran and dived into the strong currents of the river. She swam strongly towards the figure in the water. She lunged for it and caught it by the scruff of the neck. She began pulling desperately towards the shore. She dragged the figure towards the bank and immediately the cat started coughing out water. It rose and turned to face her. She saw that it was an extremely tall tom-cat, and he was a pale yellow colour, like the sunlight at dawn. She saw his eyes were a deep green. but she noticed soething wrong. "You're blind".
He nodded and said, "Tell me, what is your name?"
"Blackstripe. What's your's?"
"Dawnfire."
