Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction, and thanks to whoever reads it! I want to point out that this story is based on an rp (role play) I had with my friends. There are a LOT of cats in SunClan because of this. So sorry if this is hard for my readers, and the Allegiances will be posted in the next chapter
Thanks!
Prologue
The moon shined upon the lush green grass covering the ground. Its beaming glow searched the ground, bright and aware. The sky, however, was black with not a single star upon its dark pelt.
A warm breeze blew, disturbing the grass and tall trees in the distance. Yet another disturbance came along, though not natural.
A white cat whose pelt shined as brightly as the moonlight padded from the shadows. His ice blue eyes were wide and alert. His pelt prickled with fear when another pair of ominous yellow eyes appeared from the black depths behind him.
"Froststar. You are a courageous and strong cat, yet now you show fear just at the surprising sight of me. What is bothering you?" The yellow eyes blinked once, and a black she cat padded out of the shadows.
"My apologies, Blackflower." Froststar dipped his broad head. "I just wasn't expecting company tonight."
"Hopefully you don't mind it." Blackflower sat down next to the white tom. "What is bothering you?"
Froststar starred at his paws. "I fear for SunClan. Ever since I have died, I have seen the dark clouds of evil begin to shroud over SunClan. I don't know whether or not Aurorastar is ready."
Blackflower's bright yellow eyes gave Froststar a firm glare. "Aurorastar was your deputy. I was there when you chose her. You made a wonderful choice. Aurorastar was ready to lay her life down for SunClan ever since she was a kit. She is wise, and though young, she has much to offer SunClan through her leadership, including her strength. Do not doubt her or SunClan."
"Listen to her, Froststar." Another voice arose nearby, and a dainty looking light brown tabby she cat came forth. Her green eyes shined with wisdom, and her pelt sparkled like fresh rain on leaves.
"Morningstar," Blackflower greeted the she cat. "I did not expect to see you here."
"Nor did I you," Morningstar replied. She flicked one of her tufty ears. "Froststar, I too have seen the darkness surrounding SunClan. It layers over their life, threatening to kill at any moment. SunClan will face many evils and challenges. Darkness will arise, and cats will die. Aurorastar will face challenges that no Clan leader should ever have to deal with." When glancing at Froststar's flashing eyes, she added, "StarClan can do nothing about this."
"I know," Froststar growled.
Blackflower rested her tail on Froststar's shoulder. "None of us want this to happen, but this darkness is too strong for us to stop. We can only help to guide their paws in the right direction."
"Let us hope SunClan will actually survive." Froststar suddenly glared at Morningstar. She was gazing at her paws nervously.
"You have known about this darkness. Long enough to warn them, haven't you?"
Morningstar starred at Froststar, her gaze firm. "Yes, but I honestly did not know what it was nor how it had come to be. I did not want to send false alarms. I needed to be sure."
"Well, we are definitely sure enough now!" Froststar bristled his fur, hackles raised in anger.
"Froststar!" Blackflower snapped. "This is not Morningstar's fault!"
Froststar gave the black she cat a look, but let his fur lie flat. His gaze grew somber.
"I know. I just... don't want the Clan I love to fall."
Morningstar's eyes grew warm. "We will not let them fall. I will lay down my soul to protect them if I have to." Her head turned to the shining moon, who was watching their conversation intently.
"SunClan is strong."
