Warriors: The Ancient Secret

by Leafstrike

A dark void has been swallowing up the clans for many generations. But now a new prophecy says that only one cat can stop it: Thunderkit. She must find the fifth clan and unite the clans. But then Thunderkit discovers a dark secret...and her heart turns cold. Only one question remains: Will she fulfill the prophecy? Or will she leave the clans to die a cold dark death? DISCONTINUED

Chapter 12

Gasping for air, Thunderkit hauled herself onto the rocky edge of the Glowing Pool. Blood trailed from a cut in her lip.

Even though the cave was fairly warm and dried Thunderkit's pelt quickly, she couldn't stop shivering. Her head twitched. Her tail shook. Without any control of her movements, her paws lashed out. Her body convulsed.

Then the shadow slipped away and dived back into the Glowing Pool and Thunderkit's body lay still, except for the shallow movement of her chest as she breathed.

It was her emotions that had changed and the way she thought about the clans and StarClan. But she still knew the world and the places she had been to and the things she had seen.

All she could remember now was that the clans were evil and that StarClan needed her help to stop their treachery. She also remembered that there was a void that the clans created and it was going to eat up StarClan and the whole world.

But there was still one memory that didn't fit in. It was about a white cat lying on a yellow beach, blood spilling from wounds in her white pelt. And there was a light...an engraved picture of her face…in a different memory in a different time.

So don't worry about it, Thunderkit thought uneasily. For now, she had other things to do.

Coughing, she limped towards the dark tunnel and back into StarClan's cave.

She was startled when she saw that the black cat and Fadedwish were already waiting for her.

Well, they are StarClan...so no wonder they know everything!

"Greetings." The dark cat meowed.

"Who are you?" Thunderkit asked.

"I am Darkstar." Darkstar replied.

"Hello Darkstar. Do you have a message for me?" Thunderkit asked.

"Yes. Actually, Fadedwish does." he replied.

"Thunderkit, what is your sole duty from now on?" Fadedwish asked.

"To destroy the evil clans and the void they created so StarClan rule forever! Oh, and also to fufill the prophecy." Thunderkit growled.

"Very good. Now you must finish the golden path. We will be sending dreams to you. And remember, no one must see you," Fadedwish growled.

"Yes, Fadedwish. Don't worry about me." Thunderkit replied. Then she padded out of the cave and out into the void.
