The Next Three
Prologue.
Three cats walked, slowly approaching a small mist wall. All of them had blank expressions as the walked closer to the place they knew.
"Dovewing, Lionblaze. An omen has come." Jayfeather sighed.
Lionblaze's eyes widened. "Omen? What did it say?"
"All you need to know is this effects all we have lived and died for." Jayfeather hissed. He walked away, aware that the two were still staring.
"I finally realize why omens are meant to be figured out by the one who receives it." Jayfeather grunted. "Why waste your time explaining everything when they could just make them do their own work instead of being a lazy kit?"
"Well, that's half of it."
Jayfeather jumped at the new voice.
"Bluestar?" Jayfeather recognized the gray leader.
"Jayfeather, I too know the prophecy, but I cannot be the one to give it to a warrior."
Jayfeather knew exactly why, Bluestar was almost invisible. She was fading very quick, and soon would be the ancestors of ancestors.
"Your fading." Jayfeather replied quietly.
"Yes." Bluestar sighed. "Send an omen, to one you think can see past power, and one who has experienced the great battle."
Jayfeather nodded.
"Now, I must go. So many of my family will see me there. Goodbye Jayfeather."
"Goodbye Bluestar."
Jayfeather watched as the misty body disappeared. He walked into the dreams of a cat he knew for a very long time. Ivystar.
Ivystar walked around surprised she was not in a normal dream.
"Jayfeather?" Ivystar ran towards him franticly.
"Ivystar, I trust you with my knowledge. An omen has come."
Ivystar's eyes widened.
"When the moon becomes full in many moons, another three will arise from the shadows of the afterlife."
Jayfeather walked away.
"Wait!"
Jayfeather stopped.
"Is Dovewing okay?"
Jayfeather began to be filled with pity.
"Yes. She will be there when you wake in the afterlife."
Ivystar watched him fade away.
Jayfeather thought of the prophecy.
"Another three. And this time, they may not be on our side."
