I had to make some last minute adjustments to the whole storyline since I decided to change the summary of the story. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy!
The ferns rustled quietly as a vole sniffed the ground in search of food. It paused for a few moments and was quickly struck down by a star- filled paw. The vole let out a screech as the cat killed it in one neat bite. The cat licked its lips and bent down to take a bite out of its prey before letting out a loud yelp.
"Hey! That's my tail you are treading on!" The cat said indignantly and spun around to be met with an amused yellow gaze.
"Dustpelt, I don't think that's how you speak to your elders." The scruffy gray she cat said lightly, flicking the tom's shoulder teasingly.
"Sorry Yellowfang, I'm still getting used to being here in Starclan." Dustpelt admitted sheepishly. He looked down and pushed his prey towards her. "You could have this Yellowfang. Sorry again!" He said as he touched his muzzle lightly against her shoukder and bounded away toward the middle of the clearing.
He immediately spotted a gathering of cats ahead of him and came to a stop as he approached them. "Am I interrupting anything?" he asked.
"No not at all. Please join us. We have a very important matter to discuss." Firestar said, nodding his head to his former clanmate.
Dustpelt took a seat next to Firestar and nodded a greeting while Bluestar stood up.
"Every cat please listen up! I have called all of you together to settle down a few rumors that has been spreading around Starclan-"
"I don't think that is a rumor, mind you Bluestar. Many of us here has encountered troubling dreams about this particular prophecy." Blackstar interjected, nodding his head respectively at Bluestar. Bluestar simply nodded and sighed.
"Perhaps not. Yet we have to be aware of the circumstances. We have no clue what this prophecy could do to the clans. We cannot warn of our clanmates of this just yet." Bluestar said firmly, looking around at the other cats.
"Does this troubling issue need the help of the three?" Firestar asked curiously, looking at the blue she cat. Bluestar shook her head sadly.
"None of us know how they had lost their powers. That is a question for someone greater than Starclan." Bluestar said. "This prophecy that has accumulated so many rumors lately might not even be true."
"Sadly, it is." A deep grumbling voice said off in the shadows. The cats looked around warily, their claws unsheathed. Bluestar tipped her head off to the side and shook her head.
"I remember that voice… wait.. is that you Midnight?" She inquired, motioning to the others to sit back down. The grass parted as a huge lumbering shadow approached them, its movements slow and weak. As it stopped right behind the cats, a shaft of moonlight broke through the clouds, lighting up the clearing in a soft, reassuring light. The cats gasped in awe as an oddly familiar white-striped badger stood before them.
"Yes, it is Bluestar." Midnight said softly, looking among the ranks of Starclan. She nodded respectively at Firestar. "It is good to see you again Firestar, though I had hoped that you would have still been alive. But that isn't why I am here."
"What do you mean?" Dustpelt asked curiously, his tail twitching. Midnight locked gazes with Bluestar.
"This prophecy that you speak… well.. it isn't a normal prophecy at all. Its called a double prophecy, a prophecy-"
"That contains two destinies for one cat." Bluestar concluded silently, her eyes wide in fear.
"Wait. Two destinies. Is that even possible?" Yellowfang asked, approaching the group.
"Yes, it is possible for one cat to have such thing." Midnight said solemnly.
"But that could bring destruction to all the clans!" Yowls of fear echoed among the ranks as Bluestar looked sadly at Midnight. "It seems that Thunderclan will not be left alone."
"This time, it involves everyone. Even the fifth."
I must say, it was quite hard to decide whether or not to bring Midnight back I have no remembrance on whether or not she is alive….. so please no flames!
As this story progresses, the chapters will start getting longer.. I am hoping for them to be at least 1k+ words per chapter. I will still be needing some OCs! Especially for the other clans. Oh, and if you were wondering, this is about 3-4 moons after the events of Bramblestar's storm.
Again, the OC entries will be on the poll on my profile. And please leave a review! I welcome all advice!
Thankies!
