Flames shall turn four to ash

Lost and broken four shall survive

Four shall abandon their home

And out of the ashes the chosen four shall rise

Dawn shall lead the path to the new era...

Exhausted Dawnshadow curled up in her nest. Hunger gnawed at her belly. She knew she needed rest,but how was she supposed to sleep with the pitiful mewling of Swanfeather's kits. Guilt washed over her as she thought about the scrawny mouse she had eaten. How could she rest or eat while inoccent kits went hungry?This Leafbare was the worst she ever experienced and the clan could not everywhere as twolegs had begun invading their territory. Dawnshadow curled up tight. Icy cold seeped through her thin coat. She knew the twolegs where planning something. Why else would they just come into the forest,scare away the prey and then leave. Blurrily she heard Silvercloud tell the kits a story to distract them from their rumbling bellies. Half asleep she listened as Silvercloud told the kits about Firestar and Bramblestar en the evil Tigerclaw. The power of three and Bloodclan. 'If only they were still here,they would know how to save us she thought sadly. Then sleep washed over her body.

'Where am I?',was Dawnshadow's first thought. Ancient trees stretched around her. She could hear the small sounds of prey and birds were twittering all around her. The grass felt unbelievably soft under her feet. A scent reached her nose. A scent that spoke of thousands of generations of warriors,of vast knowledge en power. That is when she realised where she was. ''Starclan..?'',she whispered awed.

''Yes, indeed young one.''

A soft voice whispered next to her. Dawnshadow spun around. A cat was sitting next to her. Wise amber eyes studied at her. The beautiful tortoiseshell pelt rippled. ''You..you're Spottedleaf'',Dawnshadow's voice was nothing more than a whisper.

Spottedleaf smiled at her. ''Why am I here? I am still almost a apprentice!''

Spottedleaf gave a amused purr. Then her face became serious again. ''Starclan has a message for you..'',

''What? Why...me? Shouldn't you be talking to Pearlmoon?'' Spottedleaf ignored her.

''When it seems we have faded. Just remeber that we are here as long as the code is alive. And when change comes it is sometimes best to let some of the old way fade.'',whispered Spottedleaf.

''Wha.. I don't understand. What does it mean?'',Dawnshadow asked confused. Tenderly Spottedleaf leaned against het,letting her soothing scent wash over Dawnshadow. ''When the time comes you will understand. Remember we chose you. Remeber thousands of generations of warriors chose you...'' Dawnshadow realised that cats with sparkling pelts had appeared around them. Comforting scents washed over her as the glowing pelts pressed against hers. Spottedleaf gently touched Dawnshadow's right eye with her nose and

whispered,''Always remember where you came from...''

Shocked Dawnshadow waked up. Was it real? It had felt so real. Her best friend Dewpaw had told her about visions. Dewpaw! That was who she needed to see. Dawnshadow yawned and walked out into the clearing. Her muscles were sore from all the fruitless hunting. A surge of hopelessness came upon here as she looked at her clanmates. Dull,lifeless eyes stared back at her. She looked from one bony body onto the next. For a moment she closed her eyes. Then she slowly walked to the medicine den. The medicine den used to be on of her favourite places. Now she hated it. She hated seeing her clanmates coughing and sneezing,desperately fighting a losing battle against green cough. ''Dewpaw?'''she called.

She heard movement at the back of the den and then Dewpaw came into few. Dewpaw was a beautiful light gray cat with white paws,tail tip and ears,but her vibrant green eyes was what made her beautiful. ''Hi Dawnshadow. I don't want to sound like Pearlmoon,but you really need sleep.''Dewpaw looked concerned at her friend.

''I know. That was what I was doing and.. Dewpaw I think I had a vision.''

Dewpaw looked at her closely. ''Tell me,what did you see? Did anyone talk to you?'' Dawnshadow explained the dream to Dewpaw in as much detail as she could. When she was finished Dewpaw looked worried and confused.

''Dawnshadow are you sure you told me everything?''

''Yes! What does it mean?''

Dewpaw looked at her sorrowfully. ''I think they think the clans are gping to be destroyed...''

''What,but that is impossible!"

''I'm not sure.. I could be wrong..'' Dawnshadow could not keep the icy fear from wrapping around her hart.'

''You have to be wrong!" Dewpaw looked at her. Dawnshadow saw her own feelings reflected in Dewpaw's eyes. Dawnshadow neede to get away.

''I am going hunting.'',''she announced. She started walking to the entrance. She did not realise that as soon as se had reached the middle of the camp she had started runnin

Dawnshadow ran through the forest. Her breath racing. Mybe some small part of her believed that if she ran fast enough she could get away from the horrible vision. Dewpaw had to be wrong,right? She was only a apprentice afterall. Even though Dawnshadow was a warrior she and Dewpaw was the same age. Medicine cat training just took longer and Dawnshadow had only been a warrior for one moon. Desperately trying to push any thought of the vision out of her head Dawnshadow raced on. Finally when she could not run anymore. She stopped. Standing breathlessly for a while. Before clawing her way up one of the ancient oak trees. When she reached the top she carefully sat on one of the branches. She was high up. She could see the sun rising. Creating a glittering path on the lake. 'Dawn',she tought.

Her favourite time of the day. It was the time she hunted best,fought best and was the happiest. Just like her name. She leand against the tree. Feeling the breeze ruffling her fur. Letting the beautiful dawnlight sweep away her worries. When the sun was high in the sky she finally raced down the tree trunk. For the rest of the day she hunted. Finding only one small dove and a mouse. When she decided to go back to the camp the sun had already set. She could see the moon rising. Suddenly she felt a overwhelming urge to follow the stream. She could her Starclan calling her. She closed her eyes letting her paws lead her. When she opened her eyes again she realized she was at Moonpool.

She could almost feel pelts brushing hers. Familiar scents washed over her. As if in a trance she walked to the pool and touched her nose to the cool clear water. Power and knowledge flooded her body. Slowly she looked up. Two cats were standing in front of her. One had a blue-black pelt with the deepest blue eyes. The other's pelt looked like fire and his green eyes shone with wisdom. ''Bluestar.. Firestar?'',she whispered.

''Greetings Dawnshadow,my great,great,great grandchild.'',purred Firestar. ''I am related to you?'',Dawshadow asked in a awed voice.

''Yes. You should be proud Dawnshadow,but remeber it is not where we come from that defines us. Firestar was a kittypet once.'',said Bluestar.

''Why am I here? Was that other vision real?''

Bluestar looked at her sadly. ''Yes,the time of the clans as we know them has ended,but the code shall live on and so shall we although much more faded.''

''No... but why am I here?''

''You Dawnshadow have been chosen as one of the Leaders who will save the code.''

''What me? But I have only been a warrior for one month!''

''Trust yourself Dawnshadow'',Bluestar leaned closer and touched Dawnshadow's nose.''With this life I give you confidence.'' Pain surged through Dawnshadow's body. She could barely stay on her feet. When the pain cleared she saw another cat had taken Bluestar's place. Firestar touched her nose and whispered,''With this life a give you courage''

A fiery pain crashed into her. She could feel herself shaking. The next cat to step forward was a old tom so faded she could barely see him.

''I am Grey Wing one of the cats who lead the mountain cats to the old territories.'' He touched her nose and said,''With this life I give you trust.'' A soothing feeling came upon her. Another cat walked up to het. Just as faded as the first one.

''I am Thunderstar. The first leader of Thunderclan.'' He touched her nose and said,''With this life I give you bravery'' Pain came. She could her battle cries and smell blood. The next cat to step foreward was a tom with blue eyes.

''I am Jayfeather'',he said softly,''With this life I give you compassion.'' A warm feeling rushed through her body. A cat took his place.

''I am Leafpool. With this life I give you hope.'' Hope flooded her scared hart. Suddenly familiar scents flooded her.

''Mom? Dad?'',she asked. Two cats stepped forward. Their eyes glowing with pride. The black tom said,''With this life I give power in battle.''

A terrible pain surged through her. Her mother steadied her and whispered,''With this life I give you love.''

A wonderful warm,happy feeling replaced the pain.

''We are so proud of you.''her father whispered before the returned to the ranks of starry cats. One last cat stepped foreward.

''I am Dovewing. With this life I give you my power of enhanced senses.'' Dovewing touched Dawnshadow's nose. Excruciating pain swept through her body. She trashed and howled. Then suddenly it stopped. Shivering she stood up. Thunderstar leapt onto a rock. ''Dawnshadow,from this moment on you shall be known as Dawnstar.''

Then one by one the Starclan cat dissolved in to bright sparks. Waking up Dawnstar looked into Moonpool. Peering at her own reflection. Eye that looked like dawn stared back at her. Her eye were a mixture if oranges,reds and some light blue and purple. Her pelt was midnight black. It fit she though. Dawnshadow. Or it had fit. She was Dawnstar

now.
