PROLOGUE
Water poured off the edge of a rock in a rounded corner and splashed down into a crack in the ground into a channel. Far below, it tumbled and crashed down into a pool. The rays of the setting sun cast many colours into the water, dancing in the spray.
Many cats were gathered around the pool whispering in hushed voices. They all fell silent as one cat stepped forward and crouched by the pool looking into it. A few heartbeats later she looked up, worry and distress showing in her eyes.
One of the cats spoke up saying, "What's the matter Spottedcloud? Is something wrong?" One of the cats nudged the cat who spoke sharply and said,
"Spottedcloud can tell us without you butting in!" The cat snapped angrily.
"No Foxtail it's okay, Blackstripe had every right to speak." Spottedcloud said calmly.
Foxtail showed no sign or irritation except for a single flick of her ears.
Spottedcloud continued speaking saying, "Cats of Starclan there is something new coming to the lake, something no cat has encountered before. The clans will need our help but we're not the ones who will help, we have to choose a single cat to save the clans."
She then turned around and looked into the pool. There was a cat, a vision in the pool only a kit a silver and white tabby she-cat.
"What?!" Some cat called out after he saw the cat, "She's only a kit! She couldn't handle knowing about it let alone fulfil it!"
"That's why we're not going to tell her, only her clan leader. We'll tell her when it's time." Spottedcloud replied calmly.
Gradually all the cats started wandering away from the pools edge until Spottedcloud was the only one there.
"Peace will break and truth will shatter and the wolf shall show the way."
