The Warrior Within
Prologue
A cool new-leaf wind rustled through the leaves of the bush in which
a brown singed fur tom was crouching. The tom quickly darted from one side of the clearing to the other in a heartbeat. The tom ran through the forest to the bad scent of the Thunderpath. The tom did not stop to look for monsters, but just kept running all the way to the rocky cliffs of mother mouth. He ran past the cave which lead to the moon stone, he was heading for a different cave around the back. He pushed through the bushes hiding it. The tom walked down a tunnel, he could smell the scent of another cat, but the scent was familar.
He walked into the cave with the small pond in the middle. Small holes in the ceiling above let moonlight enter and cause white ripples to cover the walls and the body of a red she-cat. "What have you seen Bliss?" the tom questioned the she-cat. Bliss had scented him long before he entered, she turned her head and sighed "Oh Malk, I fear our clan is in great danger." the she-cat looked back at the water "The star-eyed one has told me, 'Beware of the unknown strangers', the elders are talking of bad tales, Monarch has been twitching and screaming in her sleep, she probably is seeing the prophecy. I hope it comes later on." Malk had walked to the other side of the pool and sat down.
He smiled "Bliss I asure you there is nothing wrong. Those weak kittypets in town are nothing to worry about, and those others cats in the forest haven't bothered us." he stared at her "But Malk I have scent them around here many times." Bliss mewed then heard a familar voice. "Bliss! Bliss come out, I know your in there." a she-cat called. Bliss stood up and started to walk away "I hope you can figure something out Malk." she walk down the tunnel and outside spotting Monarch staring up the sky with a blank expression on her face she never really shows any feeling now-a-days Bliss thought to herself.
"Bliss, it's those forest cat you need to watch out for, not the kittypets. I've been talking with Wilson and he says nothing is going on in the neighborhood." Monarch said not looking at her. "Monarch I know that, but Malk won't accept it. He thinks that there is no problem at all." Bliss spoke softly looking up like Monarch. "Malk is a fool, he needs to focus on right now instead of the future." Monarch look in Bliss' direction.
Flinching at Monarch's words she quickly looked away from the old she-cat. "Bliss, Malk may be leader but he is not wise. The only reason he became leader is because his father was leader." Bliss looked at the ground "Yes, I know, but sometimes he can do whats for the best." Bliss looked at Monach's bright white and blue eyes. "Yes, I agreee but let's just hope he will do whats right before bad things happen."
