Finally! From whence it came no one knows…+drum roll+ CHAPTER ONE!!
Chapter
I
Oaktail padded silently through the forest, tabby fur shining silver in the moonlight. Suddenly he emerged in a clearing he had never seen before. A soft carpet of moss covered the ground and his paws sank deep into it as he took a step forward. Looking to his left, he saw a silvery glint through the trees. That must be the lake.
"Welcome,"
a voice meowed. "I have been waiting for you." Oaktail whipped
around. A handsome ginger tom was seated in front of him, tail
wrapped around his paws. "W- w-who are you?" Oaktail
stammered. The tom smiled.
"I am
Firestar. One of the former leaders of ThunderClan," he meowed. "I
am here to give you a prophecy. A great doom shall come upon the
forest. You and four other cats, each from a different Clan, have
been chosen the save it. You must all meet at Fourtrees on the night
of the new moon. There you will be given a new name, an element, and
special powers. Using them, and the power of friendship, you must
fight the evil side by side." Oaktail stared at him.
"But, how will I know what to do? And how will my Clan know my new
name?" he asked.
"Don't worry. StarClan will take care of it all." Firestar answered. Resting his head on the young warriors head, he started to fade.
"Wait!" Oaktail yowled, "What do you mean?" The only answer he got was a faint whisper. Straining to hear, the tom's eyes went wide. It was saying:
Four
elements must combine
To save our forest home.
Without
them
Death and destruction come
And blood will fall like rain.
"No!" he yowled, "This can't happen!"
"Of course it can, you stupid furball" a gruff voice meowed. "It has to. If we didn't hunt, we'd starve! Do you want to come or not?"
Oaktail looked up
at the broad face of Tigerstripe, a fellow warrior. "I-I'm
sorry," he mewed. "What where you saying?"
Tigerstripe
gave an exasperated sigh. "I was asking if you wanted to
come hunting with me and Flamefrost, when you started yowling
something about it couldn't be happening."
Blinking, Oaktail realized he must have been talking in his sleep. "Oh, sure. I'll be right there." He meowed.
"Good." Tigerstripe growled, padding out of the den. "And don't fall back asleep!" he yowled over his shoulder.
The tom stretched and followed him out, reflecting on his dream.
Flamefrost was chatting with Sandfur and Sunstorm, her best friends. But when she saw Tigerstripe, she excused herself, and trotted over to them.
"Ready?" she asked. When the others nodded, she led the way to the thorn tunnel that was the camp entrance.
Oaktail thought again, about the dream, and resolved to go meet these other cats. Maybe on of them had more information. And the new moon wasn't far off anyway. With that, he ran to catch up with the rest of the patrol.
