"So you got sent to search for me and to bring the Light Clan ancestors back?" Hollyleaf's questions began right after Leafpool finished telling her daughter just about all she knew.
"Yes."
"So how do we do it?" Jay asked. "We have to stop Dark somehow."
"I know that. I'm just not sure how." Leafpool replied.
"I have an idea. Jay, Hollyleaf, Fallen Leaves, you come with me. We'll sneak onto your territory and try to gather any cats that want to help. Dustcloud, Larchbreeze, Adderstrike, and Stormheart you should go gather things to create a make shift camp, we'll need one. Leafpool, you get some sleep and try to reach out to Star Clan. For now we are going to train cats and overthrow this leader." Spiderleg meowed. Adderstrike and the siblings nodded and raced off.
"But we can't fight. Bloodshed isn't worth it." Jay argued.
"That's all we can do. We must try Jay." Hollyleaf meowed. Jay nodded curtly and the four cats padded off.
Leafpool settled down under a shady tree and closed her eyes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DREAMING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leafpool awoke in a starry field.
"Leafpool." she turned to the voice. Light stood, shimmering brightly.
"Light. Thank you for visiting me." Leafpool bowed her head.
"Leafpool. I have a prophecy for you."
"Yes Light."
"Even the gentle songbird's wise words will not stop the impending, burning fight. Clouds will form, but the storm will wash away the blaze. Darkness will fall and soon after, Light will be able to return."
"Okay."
"I trust you will help my ancestors? I have chosen well in returning both Fallen Leaves and Adderstrike to you?" Light asked. Leafpool nodded.
"Yes Light."
"Very well Leafpool. I leave you to your sleep. You will be needing it." The white she-cat mewed.
"Thank you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AWAKENING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Leafpool woke up there was a warm vole next to her.
"Morning Leafpool. I caught the vole fresh for ya." Her son Dustcloud padded up.
"Thanks Dustcloud." Leafpool replied. Dustcloud nodded and Leafpool began eating. Larchbreeze appeared as well.
"You slept pretty long Mom. Dad and the others returned." her daughter informed her. Leafpool finished eating and nodded again.
"Okay, let's go." she meowed, following her two kits. They brought her to a nicely built make-shift camp.
"You guys did all of this in one night?" Leafpool asked.
"Yeah, but we did have help." Dustcloud chuckled. There was a group of cats in the middle of the area, some familiar looking and some not.
"Leafpool." Spiderleg meowed when he saw her. Her mate motioned her over.
"Leafpool, I'd like you to meet Fox, Rain, Flower and her kits Pebble and Mouse." Hollyleaf introduced the five cats. The kits seemed to be only a little younger than Hollyleaf's. Leafpool nodded to them.
"I'm Leafpool." she meowed.
"Nice to meet you. Not a bad idea, forming a group to train in fighting Dark." Fox replied.
"So he just let you leave?" Leafpool asked.
"He was there when Hollyleaf, Jay, Fallen Leaves, and Spiderleg arrived. He watched as they went around talking to cats. Then when they got us and we started walking to the exit, he said that if we left, we would be known as enemies. If we were seen on the territory again we'd be killed, no questions asked. He's horrible." Rain meowed, digging her claws into the soil angrily.
"I don't understand how cats can blindly follow him like that." Flower added.
"Hello?" meowed a small voice. They all turned to see a golden kit that looked very apprehensive.
"Sun... what are you doing out here alone?" Mouse asked him.
"I heard what Dark said. And the older kits in the nursery always tell stories about Dark killing kits. I got scared, so I left while my mom was asleep." Sun mewed.
"You didn't tell your mom?" Pebble asked. Sun sat down.
"I tried talking to her. She told me not to listen to the older kits tales. Then she went to sleep. I stayed in the nest for a while and I couldn't sleep. I heard a voice and when I looked up I saw Ash! He told me I had to get out and find Hollyleaf and Jay out in the woods. Then I'd be safe. So I left my mom..." He explained.
Jay went up to him.
"You're okay. You'll be safe here. We're going to beat Dark, don't worry." she promised. Sun nodded. Spiderleg looked at Leafpool.
"Did you get in touch with Star Clan, Leafpool?" he asked.
"Yes. I was told a prophecy. I will share it with you when it becomes clear." she responded. Spiderleg nodded then looked back at the group of Light Clan ancestor cats.
"Okay. For now, let's go. We have a lot of training to do."
