Prologue
A/N: This is my first real fanfiction and I wrote this in about ten minutes so it's just a tiny preview. For now I'm calling the story "Blazing Bird and Splashing Fish". It is not an AU; it takes place by the lake with the regular four clans. The story will be told in 3rd person but will follow two different cats. Constructive criticism and suggestions are highly appreciated and will encourage me to write faster!
Flamewing looked around frantically at the suddenly changing landscape. The nearby plants shriveled up, the sky turned grey, and all signs of life vanished and fell silent, leaving the former clearing a barren wasteland.
A shadowy cat stepped forward. In a hoarse voice, it delivered a message.
"The bird that blazes and the fish that splashes must unite to protect from the hidden evil that lies in wait, watching the clans with plans of destruction."
Flamewing, still a very young warrior, was confused, "What do you mean evil?" The shadow cat began to disappear, merging back into the wasteland. "Wait, come back! I need answers!" Flamewing took a step forward and called after it. He blinked and the bright forest had returned, as if it had never been gone.
