Prologue
Lightning flew through the sky as two cats waited until a third cat appeared with something in its' jaws. The two cats nodded to the third before they walked into the huge building made for horses and the light inside revealed one dark gray she-cat, one tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat, and one dark ginger tom. "Is everything ready?" The dark gray she-cat asked before the tom nodded and dropped the item, which was a clump of briars, on the ground with a strange symbol scratched into the ground. The symbol was two circles, one smaller and inside the other, with triangles pointing in the four directions and lines going from the four directions to meet the clump of briars.
"From the dawn of time, when Ghouls and the Prairie fought against each other, let us know of what to do now, let us know of what will happen... to the stables... and to the Prairie!" The tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat shouted as wind and rain picked up outside the stables and shook the walls, causing the tom to jump while the she-cats stood still and the ground moved a bit before two cats appeared in front of them: one was a transparent light brown she-cat with dark ears and a stripe going down her back and a transparent black tom with amber eyes.
"Spirit," The dark gray she-cat said to the black tom, who nodded, before turning to the light brown she-cat. "Summer, please tell us of what will happen to Silver Stables and the Prairie in the next two moons?" Both cats stilled before they blinked and lightning filled the stables, surrounding them in harsh white light before it faded and more transparent cats appeared behind Spirit and Summer. "When the lightning strikes, the moss gathers, and the maple grows, their love will heal the broken briar and change the way of living forever." The Prairie cats said at the same time before they all vanished, leaving the tom still shocked and the she-cats just stared at the spot before removing the clump of briars and using their tails to erase the symbols.
"I-I'll just go now." The tom said before turning and leaving the stables while muttering to himself, but once he got outside he became transparent with stars in his pelt and ran to the edge of the Twolegplace where a transparent pale ginger she-cat with stars in her pelt was waiting. "How did it go?" The she-cat asked as the tom reached where the she-cat was sitting patiently. "I still don't understand why this is tied with the Clans Goldenflower," The tom said as he sat beside Goldenflower. "Three kits born to kittypets and loners-" "Who will find their way into the Clans one way or another Flametail," Goldenflower chastised gently before wrapping her tail around his back. "Remember, some of each Clan was formerly either a kittypet or a loner and these three will be accepted into the Clans before the Dark Forest attacks."
*#~+=
Briarlight sighed in boredom as she watched the Clan around her from the medicine den: Thornclaw was nuzzling Hazeltail, Branbleclaw was getting two patrols ready, one for hunting and one for the borders, Lionblaze was talking to Dovewing with a serious look on his face, Firestar was sharing tongues with Sandstorm, the elders were sunning themselves, and the queens were talking among themselves as the kits pretended to fight each other. "Are you sure she's okay?" Millie's concerned voice rang behind her, causing her to sigh in annoyance before turning her head.
Looking through the medicine supplies was Jayfeather, who was slowly shaking with annoyance as Millie kept bugging him about Briarlight's condition and both cats wanted to get her out. So, as Millie kept asking about Briarlight's exercises, Briarlight dragged herself to the warriors den with one thing on her mind. "Graystripe, can you please get Millie out of the medicine den because either Jayfeather or myself will make her." That got the striped warrior to quickly get out of his nest and to the medicine den just as Jayfeather started yelling at Millie.
"Briarlight!" Two voices sounded out as two bundles of fur ran towards her with two more behind them. "What did you two do?" Briarlight asked with amusement in her voice as a dark tabby she-kit with white patches and a pale ginger she-kit hid under her forelegs as a cream-and-brown tom-kit and a ginger she-kit stopped before colliding into the paralyzed warrior. "We wanted to know if you want to play with us!" The ginger she-kit, Cherrykit, asked with curiosity in her eyes along with the other three kits.
"I wish I could," Briarlight meowed as she ushered the two she-kits out from under her forelegs. "But Millie would go in a panic if she sees me doing anything." That was true, any movement the paralyzed warrior did set the light gray warrior off, causing her to ask irritating questions and keeping Jayfeather from doing his work. "I think I'll just go take a nap if you want to join me."
The kits jumped in happiness before yawning and led Briarlight to the Halfrock near the elders' den before the five of them got comfortable and fell asleep.
Dream Starts
"Hello?" Briarlight asks as she noticed that her surroundings weren't the same StarClan grounds as usual, these surroundings were dark and shadowy with a thin fog making everything more shrouded. "Bluestar? Spottedleaf?" No one answered her as she padded forward on the path she woke up on until she heard it. Meow! It was faint but she could hear three kits crying out. "Oh no," She meowed before running towards the sound which was still faint and never getting louder or quieter... until she bumped into something that caused her to fall backwards.
She shakily stood up and shook her head, which was pounding from the collision, before noticing that the kits' cries stopped and saw what was in front of her. It was a cat, twice her size, with a slightly darker spotted white coat and gray eyes that stared at her in blankness before turning around and gestured to her with its' tail to follow it. Briarlight gulped before following the cat, which seemed to know the surroundings better before stopping in front of a monster which was on its' side.
Briarlight took a deep breath before walking around the monster, seeing monster blood and Twoleg blood all over before going behind it and got the shock of her life. Two cats, one a grayish-brown tom and the other a black she-cat with white stripes, were covered in cuts and still bleeding until she noticed something under them... and heard the meows that she heard earlier.
She backed away in fear before turning to the spotted cat, who blinked before nodding its' head. "No... No!" She shouted before collapsing and cried for the lost lives and three orphaned kits until something brushed her ear. She slowly looked up to see a maple leaf fall gently on a patch of moss before lightning struck it, strangely mending a patch of briar before voices were heard softly and got louder and louder.
"When the lightning strikes, the moss gathers, and the maple grows, their love will heal the broken briar and change the way of living forever."
Dream Ends
Briarlight woke up with a gasp as she suddenly pushed her forelegs upwards, causing the kits around her to jump a bit before looking at the gasping warrior. "Are you okay?" Cherrykit asked with worry etched on her face along with the other kits before screaming and ran to the nursery and the medicine den for Jayfeather and Sorreltail. Briarlight had looked at the camp entrance with glazed over eyes before fainting, landing slightly hard on the ground.
A story by CrimsonFlame07 called 'Briarlight's Cure' gave me the inspiration to create this.
