YEAH My longest chapter yet! I hope you enjoy and please leave a review on what you think of the story so far!
Firestar paced along a stream, brilliant moonlight reflecting across its surface. What am I to do? How can I protect Thunderclan from this threat? He muttered to himself. Sighing he continued to pace lost in his own thoughts.
A starry cat, barely visible in the moonlight padded forward from the underbrush on the other side of the river. Calling out she said, "Is this the mighty Starclan?" Firestar's head jerked up.
He looked across the river to the voice. After passing his gaze over her a few times, finally Firestar spotted the faded brown she-cat. Causally he narrowed his eyes and sniffed the air. "You are not a clan cat," he stated plainly.
"Well duh, I'm here to speak to a cat of Starclan. I have traveled across the sky trying to find Starclan in order to deliver a prophecy. Now are you Starclan," She meowed briskly, as if she was running out of time. Firestar realized that this she-cat may have the answers to his problem and said, "Yes, I am Firestar of Starclan. Please, what news do you bring the clans?"
"I have a prophecy, given to me many, many seasons ago when the clans first lived at the lake. I was told that I must find the new Starclan and give them this prophecy. I just hope I'm not too late. 'Fawn with rise on hawks' wings with a destiny unknown by the watchers, but whose decedents will make the clans strong.' I have been kept alive through Midnight and this prophecy. Please tell me I'm not too late," the she-cat pleaded.
Firestar's ears pricked and wondered, 'could she be referencing Fawnkit? She must be!'
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is one last thing Firestar of Starclan, you must deliver the prophecy to the one who wants to die the most. The one who's life has been long and hard, and now they long to return home," she murmured, fading even more into the background.
"Wait please don't go yet! What is your name, so that I can remember you," Firestar called.
"My name given to me by my mother is 'Blue Moonlight That Reflects Off the Lake at Dawn'. Goodbye Firestar of Starclan, it's up to you to carry the prophecy now," she rasped before fading completely away.
Firestar thought about all the she cat had said, 'Fawn', 'Hawk wings', and 'a cat desperate to die'. Hmm… oh… Jayfeather! He has lived such a hard long life and he must miss his brother and sister and living with his two moms must be hard Firestar realized. Before he could change his mind Firestar wadded into the middle of the stream, water pulling at his legs threating to throw him off balance. Firestar drew up a picture of Jayfeather in his mind and dived down into the vast stream.

Jayfeather found himself standing next to the lake, his body young again. Looking around Jayfeather realized he was in a dream. The last thing he remembered was exiting the elders den to find Dandelionpuff's two kits Thornkit and Fawnkit talking to Squirlflight and Leafpool.
"Greetings Jayfeather," a voice said behind him.
"Firestar! What are you doing here? Am I dying," he asked with a hint of hope in his voice.
"Not yet. But I do have a prophecy for you, one that is as old as the clans. Fawn with rise on hawk's wings with a destiny unknown by the watchers, but whose decedents will make the clans strong," Firestar said. Jayfeather backed. "NO! Take your prophecy to someone else! I'm not a medicine cat anymore!" he roared.
"Stop!" Firestar commanded, "Stop acting like a kit! I gave you this prophecy because this is your destiny." In a gentler voice Firestar said, "Walk with my Jayfeather." And began to pad through the woods heading towards Thunderclan's camp. Jayfeather reluctantly followed. Together the two starry cats padded through the lush undergrowth of the forest. As they neared the camp Firestar signaled with his tail for Jayfeather to halt.
Firestar turned towards the old medicine cat and said, "Look here, this is a patch of death berries the warriors have not found yet. Once you deliver the prophecy, I'm sure you can find a use for them. You will be welcome into Starclan, no matter what you decide. I'm the only cat in Starclan who knows this prophecy, so if you refuse to deliver the message to Greenstar. No one will condemn you. But I must leave you with this, this prophecy is very important, it's the only link Starclan has to the young Fawnkit. We can't see her future. If you do deliver the prophecy, it must be to Greenstar only, only he will know what to do with it." With that Firestar continued on till he reached the entrance of the Thunderclan camp. Jayfeather hesitated a moment then raced to catch up with ginger tom.
The two toms entered the camp and walked over to the elders den where the body of Jayfeather was standing starring at Fawnkit. Fawnkit was staring back at the elder with a gaze full of determination. Their was a defiance in her gaze that made Firestar shutter. Who will she become he wondered?
Jayfeather sighed and looked at the kit. "I can see why the unknown frightens you Firestar, but you must remember, not all cats are a threat to the clans. But I will do as you ask and I will deliver the message to Greenstar. And I make this promise to you Firestar, I will be seeing you soon."
With that Jayfeather turned towards his body and stepped into it reanimating it. Firestar dipped his head to the elder and then leaped into the stars.
"I hope I did the right thing," he muttered to himself.
Hey all, I hope you liked this chapter. Please comment down below what you think Jayfeather will do. Also, I need some help creating OC's for the other three clans. Please comment some names and descriptions. I will be posting Thunderclan's allegiances in the next chapter. (sorry for the out of order, but I feel it will help you all follow the story better since this is an entirely new generation of Thunderclan.)
