Rainygaze: I'm back, and this time, with chapter 1! Hope you can enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors, but everyone knows that.
Velvetwind dipped her head to Glidestar, the leader before Phantomstar. "Velvetwind, you have been summoned here tonight to hear this prophecy." Glidestar looked up at Silverpelt. "War will come and blood will be spilled, but the sky's tears will fall, and wash it away." He rasped. Velvetwind was about to ask what he meant by "The sky's tears" When she felt a paw prodding her side. She cracked open her eyes and saw the ginger pelt of her apprentice, Lilypaw. She yawned and stretched, arching her back in a graceful curve before padding out to see what Lilypaw wanted.
"I wanted to see if you were okay, you were jerking and twisting around in your sleep. What happened?" Lily questioned. Velvetwind shook her head, dismissing her apprentice with a flick of her tail. She bounded over to Phantomstar's den, hidden within the reeds. There she found Phantomstar stretching. "Velvetwind? What is it? Have you had a sign from StarClan?" He asked, curious as to why his medicine cat was here. She nodded. "StarClan have sent me a prophecy. Glidestar said to me….War will come and blood will be spilled, but the sky's tears will fall and wash it all away." She murmured, repeating the leader's words to her. Phantomstar pondered for a heartbeat, and then bounded out, with Velvetwind on his heels.
Phantomstar tipped his head back and let out a yowl, summoning all cats to the Tallstone, a rock on which he stood to address the Clan. Slowly, but surely, the whole Clan started to gather underneath the stone, waiting to see what their leader had to say. "Velvetwind has had a sign from StarClan." He announced. A soft murmuring broke out within the Clan, but Velvetwind's voice silenced them all.
"War will come, and blood will be spilled. But the sky's tears will come and wash it all away." Velvetwind said, arousing curiosity within the clan. She heard bits of "Sky's tears?" and "War? But all is peaceful!" Obviously this was a warning, the stupid mouse-brains, Velvetwind thought. But there was one voice she didn't hear, she saw Rainygaze fixing Phantomstar with such an intense gaze that Velvetwind was surprised that his pelt didn't burn! The two had been as close as mates, but Rainygaze never wanted to be his mate, for she had eyes on someone else, that no one knew .The clan dispersed and Rainygaze bounded off into the woods with her friends, Purplesong and Ripplewave.
Rainygaze prowled through the woods, keeping her senses alert for any sound of prey. She scented a rabbit, and she pelted after it through the woods, killing it with a sharp blow to the neck. She heard a rustle in the bush, and her neck fur started to bristle. "Who's there? What do you want?" She growled. Hazelpaw stepped out of the bushes, tilting her head in confusion at her mentor. "Oh! Hazelpaw, I'm sorry, I thought you were spying on me," Rainygaze explained.
"Can we go train with Mistpaw?" Rainygaze nodded and signaled for her apprentice to follow her with her tail. When they arrived at the Training Hollow, they saw Mistpaw with his mentor, and also Rainygaze's half brother, Graywing. Rainygaze flicked her tail, signaling for her apprentice to follow her into the hollow. Mistpaw bounded over, tail twitching in excitement to train with the 2 she-cats.
Graywing casually strolled over, and much to Rainygaze's annoyance, flicked his tail across her nose. The apprentices giggled and bounded off to play fight, their mentors plodding along behind them. Now Rainygaze knew from heart that Graywing was a pretty strict mentor, and he cuffed his apprentice over the ear but all Rainygaze heard was Mistpaw complaining about how mean his mentor was. "Just let him train with us you stubborn flea-bag." Rainygaze teased, swiping her tail around Mistpaw to let him know that he would be able to come. Graywing nodded reluctantly, narrowing his eyes at the training apprentices. "Cheer up, you're like a MountainClan cat on the moors! Great StarClan what is with you?" Rainygaze muttered, walking past him to summon her apprentice to head back to camp, much to Mistpaw's dislike.
As the she-cats padded back to camp, Hazelpaw started a conversation. "Rainygaze?" She asked. "Yeah?" Rainygaze looked at her with unblinking eyes.
"Why did you refuse to become Phantomstar's mate?"
"Because……..I'm not fit for him."
"But why not?"
"He………He isn't right for me, Hazelpaw, and sometimes, you have to know that."
Rainygaze stalked off into the undergrowth and padded into the camp, her apprentice following her. She bounded over to Grayfrost, one of her closest friends. "Did you hear about the prophecy? I wonder what they meant by Sky's Tears, isn't that a weird word?" Rainygaze mewed, tilting her head in confusion. Grayfrost turned towards her, resting his tail on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it, hopefully it has nothing to do with the either of us." He said, licking her ear, and bounding off to talk to his friend, Oakbranch.
Rainygaze slowly padded to the warriors den, her head whirling about in confusion. "Why must StarClan put their prophecies in such twisted words??" She shook her head and pushed the thoughts away in frustration. "Maybe some sleep will help me. Let's hope I don't dream today…." She curled up in her nest, resting her tail over her paws, and drifted off into the wonders of sleep. Cat's claws raked at her fur, turning the once glossy and clean fur to become matted and bloody. She struggled to fight back, but she was pinned to the ground as if Clans of cats were piled upon her. Suddenly, the claws disappeared, and Rainygaze was floating up in Silverpelt. She looked down upon the mountains where the 4 clans settled, and heard a soothing voice "War will come and-"
"Rainygaze?"
I hope you enjoyed that, if it bored you, I'm sorry the drama will increase later on when the journey REALLY begins…….- Rainygaze of StreamClan.
