Prologue

"He shall rise from the blood, and either engulf Rain and Fern in eternal darkness, or free them from the ashes"

Two cats gathered around the starlit pool. Their fur sparkled with stars as they fixed their shining eyes on the sleeping form of a Rainclan apprentice.

"Is he the one?" asked a small brown she-cat.

"Yes, Mouseheart, he is the one." replied a large, black tom, his tail twitching with worry.

Mouseheart sighed and whispered, "Oh Blackthorn, I am afraid. You heard the prophecy! He shall destroy the clans. Thunderstar should have never taken him in. Any cat from Bloodclan should be killed!"

"Enough!" said Blackthorn," He is not to be killed because of his heritage! He is a strong young cat! It is not his fault he is subjected to this prophecy. Whether he destroys the clans or saves them is not up to us. He shall make his own decisions. I believe that he will be our savior. We have all known for many moons that Bloodclan will rise once more. I can sense the goodness in Darkpaw's heart. Why else would Thunderstar allow him to join the clan?"

Mouseheart sighed, "Alright. But Darkpaw must be prepared for the battle that is to come. There will be blood…."
