"Jack, meet Redfur,Lionfoot,Pinkcoat, and Goldenstar." Wildflower said, pointing with her tail to the 4 dogs. The golden retriever stepped forward.
"Hello. I'm Goldenstar. You must be Jack. I've heard a bit about you from Wildflower. So, you want to join our clan?"
"Goldenstar." Wildflower stated. "I don't think you understand. He didn't say he wanted to join our clan. He said it silently. By the way he acts and talks and stuff."
"I see." Goldenstar said. "So Jack. I can see your a husky. Your bread off of wolves, right?"
"Yeah." Jack woofed. "But aren't we all?"
"Yes, we are." The small pink poodle stepped forward. "My name is Pinkcoat. I am the medicine dog of Fireclan. It may sound weird, but I too am a descendant of wolves."
"So, Jack." The chocolate lab stepped forward. "What I think Goldenstar is trying to say, is that Pinkcoat got a prophecy from Skyclan the other day."
"Yeah." Goldenstar said.
Nothing made any sense to Jack. Skyclan? Prophecies? Chocolate labs? He knew the answer to the last one was simple. "Uh...who are you?" Jack asked.
"I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. My names Lionfoot. Skyclan is the land of dead dogs, and a prophecy? Well, you can figure that one out." Jack heard Goldenstar chuckle.
"What was the prophecy?" Jack asked.
"They said." Pinkcoat started. "The non-wild wolf shall keep the blood from spilling. That means you, Jack. You are the non-wild wolf."
"But how do you know?" Jack asked surprised. "What if it was my brother? Or some other husky?"
"We know it had to be you, Jack. Your brother, Max, is too wimpish. And there are no other huskies in town!" Wildflower stated.
"What about Bluecloud? And Stoneberry? And Pebblepearl?And Boneflame? Their all huskys!" The red setter(that must be Redfur Jack thought) blurted.
"Bluecloud and Pebblepearl are huskies,yes, but they are in Airclan and Earthclan. Stoneberry's a malamute, and Boneflame is a samoyed." Goldenstar stated.
"You should really know your dog breeds." Lionfoot added.
"Sorry, Lionfoot." Redfur mumbled.
"Its ok. You're still just an apprentice." Lionfoot said gently.
"But… what do you want from me?" Jack asked the dogs.
"We want you to join us." Wildflower said.
"Think, Jack." Goldenstar started. "You can catch all the prey you want, live in the forest with all of the dogs, and feel so free and happy. I remember when I joined the forest. It was the best thing that I have ever done!"
"And," Lionfoot added. "You will have quite a lot of fun. Yes, there will be danger, and blood,"
Jack gulped.
"But it will be amazing." Lionfoot ended.
"We will give you some time to think about our offer." Goldenstar said. "I will send some dogs to come back in two days to hear what your choice is."
And saying that, the dogs left back into their home in the forest.
