Chapter 2
Brightstar let out a snarl; he was surrounded on all sides by the warriors of MoonClan. In all his seasons as a Clan leader, he had never encountered warriors such as these: they seem to predict his every move before he made it. In result, he had several cut and a gashed ear that were leaking starry blood. The cats parted to let two cats, a she-cat and a tom, pass through their ranks.
"What are you doing on our land, Star-Lover?" the tom demanded. Brightstar hissed
"You are more power full than StarClan, is it necessary to ask such a mouse-brained question." He retorted. The tom unsheathed his claws and was ready to pounce when the she-cat stepped in between them.
"Please ignore FlamingMoon," she said, her snowy fur dimed gray by the moon over head "he is not used to sharing these skies with others. I am IcyMoon, may I ask who you are, and what are you doing in our part of these skies?" he soft voice calmed Brightstar and the fur on his neck began to lie flat. He took a seat and stared at the two who he thought must have been leaders of their Clan when they were alive by the way they carried themselves.
"I am Brightstar, of StarClan, formerly of HillClan and NightClan. I have discovered that one of your medicine cats, long ago, revealed a prophecy that was never fulfilled in anyone's lifetime, One of Tiger, Fox and Badger, will have more power than the moon its self can have. It will be more powerful than the Code it's self. We of StarClan heard of this prophecy when we first journeyed to these skies, and we believe we know who the 'One' is. And will not allow the one to suffer the loneliness she is destined to have." Brightstar told them, recounting the events that had transpired since the Clans moved to the home next to the lake.
"Why do you not wish this fate upon a living cat when you are dead, nothing the living do can affect you?" FlamingMoon demanded
"Because the 'One' is my grand daughter, and I don't want her to have to live up to my deadly, lonely, legacy," Brightstar growled. IcyMoon rose to her feet.
"We will consider your request..." what does she think I am an apprentice? I am the might Maliceheart, I mean, Brightstar he thought "... for now you may go back to your own skies." It was not a threat, but a plea. Brightstar didn't understand it, but he didn't care, he just wanted to get out of MoonClan's territory as fast as possible.
As Brightstar crossed the border back into the StarClan sky paths he found Badgerstar waiting for him. "any luck?" he asked mockingly. Brightstar suppressed a hiss. He would not defy his father in such a way; he wasn't worth Brightstar's time.
"As a matter of fact I did, they will think of my request, and IcyMoon is sure to say yes to my proposal-"
"Who is IcyMoon?" Badgerstar interrupted
"a MoonClan leader, or at least she was one before she died" Badgerstar just nodded and continued walk. " Moonpaw had her apprentice ceremony while you were in MoonClan territory. She has made her ancestors proud... she had a vision"
Brightstar glared at Badgerstar, "What! About what?! Who sent it to her"
" w-we don't know who sent it, it was about the Blood-soaked-water, she almost fell in if Shootingstar hadn't dragged her out in time." Badgerstar told him
"at least she's safe, now I must retire to my den good bye Badgerstar." And with that Brightstar began to fade into the distance.
