The Turning of the Moon

by JayJay-teh-Cat

Eight cats will find the way, The moon must keep the forest at bay, The night shall rise and the sky shall fall, And eight more must answer the call, A whisper will wake a sleeping rose, And at the shadows gate they face their foes, They must awake the ice they keep inside, To find the way and turn the tide. Rated T because cats are gonna kill each other. YAAAAAAY :D

PROLOUGE

As Rosefire curled up in her bed, she heard Amberpaw enter the medicine cat's den. She could faintly hear her apprentice tending to the sick cats and making sure no one was in pain. She would truly be a good medicine cat someday. She still had awhile to wait, though. Rosefire had no intention of dyeing anytime soon.

After a while, Amberpaw curled up in her bed as well, all of the sickly cats having been attended to. Rosefire's eyes finally drifted shut, her mind at ease. It was hardly a second after she drifted into sleep, however, that her mind was taken elsewhere and a prophecy delivered in a field of roses.

The wind whispered through flowers, the moon hardly casting a slit of light through the darkened air. Rosfire sat, shivering in a heap, as she heard a cat cry out in pain. Her head shot up, and, following the cries of pain, she trotted into the middle of the field. She treaded delicately through the thorny flowers, and she heard the mournful cry of a blue jay as the noise ceased.

Surprised by the sudden silence, she accidentally stepped on a rosebud, and the wind sprung up into an icy gale and Rosefire heard a whisper in her ear. It started as a barely audible mewing, and soon increased to a crescendo of wails.

Eight cats will find the way

The moon must keep the forest at bay

The night shall rise and the sky shall fall

And eight more must answer the call

A whisper will wake a sleeping rose

And at the shadows gate they face their foes

They must awake the ice they keep inside

to find the way and turn the tide

Rosefire jolted awake, breathing heavily. Slowly she stood up and shook out her pelt. Sighing she looked up at the Silverpelt. Why would her ancestors send her this dream? She had to figure it out, and soon. The prophecy didn't sit well with her. She got up to go outside when she stepped on something, something soft. Lifting her paw she looked down and gasped. Under her foot was a rosebud, gleaming red in the darkness. She felt the wind pick up, and whisper in her ear "The darkness is rising, the moon is turning, and the sky can no longer hold the stars. Find the cats or all will be a whisper of what was.
