Hey guys, its Swiftfoot and I'm so pumped for this story that I couldn't wait to do more! I know there were mistakes, I was rushing, so sorry, and I hope you enjoy this chapter, also, you all know that I do not own Warriors, so that's that! Let's do this!
Chapter one: An Odd Dream
A young kit of about 3 moons woke up in a nest made of reeds. She was puzzling over her dream when her mother woke up. "Lakekit! How long have you been awake? It's only a little past dawn! Kits need their sleep. I suggest you get more of it." Looking at her with stern eyes, Lakekit's mother waited for a response. Cheerfully, Lakekit responded with "Oh, maybe a little while before dawn? And a question; do you know who Solstar is? He's obviously a leader, but I don't know what clan he leads. Do you know, Icemist?" In her head, Lakekit wondered about the quizzical look her mother was giving her. When Icemist replied to her question with the answer "There is no Solstar. You just imagined him. He may have been in a story the elders told you." Lakekit knew better than to talk back to her mother, but she really wanted to say that the dream was more than a dream. The cat was definitely real; as she had smelled his scent on a dead mouse she had found while adventuring. But what about the cave?
Then, Lakekit had an idea. It may not have been a story the elders told, but they may know who Solstar was. She walked across the camp to where the elder's den was. It seemed that it was Lionpaw who got to bring fresh-kill to the elders; as she was listening to the tale of the Great Flood. Lakekit was about to leave and come back later, but then Featherfoot, Lionpaw's mentor, came and yowled that it was time for battle training. Seeing that Sunblaze was eating, Lakekit went up to Icewing. Clearing her throat, Lakekit asked "Icewing, do you know who Solstar is? He was in a dream I had last night, and the dream seemed real." As Lakekit said this, she knew how Icewing would answer her.
"Now, Lakekit, I know of a Sol, but a Solstar? This is new news for everyone."
"But what about the dream I had? Do you think it was real? What should I do?"
"This is something to tell the medicine cat. She'll know what to do about a realistic dream. But Solstar could be a more problematic matter. But for now, just tell Dawnfall about your dream."
Later that day, Lakekit went to see Dawnfall. She walked in on a cat being tended to. She immediately recognized Lionpaw. What trouble did she get into this time? Wait, there are more cats here. What's happening? Lakekit was alarmed to see an entire patrol of warriors in the medicine cat den. She looked over at two cats that were secluded. One was Shimmerdusk. The other was a ShadowClan Tom. They were alone for an obvious reason. They were both dead.
Dawnfall was working hard to save the cats that still had life flowing through them. One was a kit. A ThunderClan kit, by the smell of him, was being treated by the RiverClan medicine cat. Looking at the warriors before her, she decided that her best bet was to help the medicine cat. She padded up to the distressed cat to help with the hard task. "Dawnfall, do you think I could help you heal these cats?" Lakekit swallowed nervously as Dawnfall turned to face her. She spit some herb called "marigold" onto the ground and showed Lakekit how to make a poultice. By sunset, they had managed to heal all the cats.
Lakekit was about to ask about her dream when she was told to get Mossystar and Reedflower. She was back in the den when she heard Reedflower call out in pain. Lakekit turned to see that Mossystar was comforting the saddened she-cat. Then Lakekit remembered that Reedflower was carrying Shimmerdusk's kits. Mossystar then, as usual, got down to business. "It's such a shame to lose such a good deputy," the leader said "especially with his kits on the way. But part of the Warrior Code states that we need to have a new deputy by moonhigh. I don't know who it will be, but we must act quickly."
Lakekit had fallen asleep before her mother returned to the den. She was dreaming of her amp as it was in leaf-bare; her mother was lying out in the sun, tired after so many days of hunting. There were two Dawnfalls; wait, two? One was coming straight to Lakekit. She knew this was the real Dawnfall, but what was another doing here? She realized what she believed had just dawned on Dawnfall. It wasn't leaf-bare. The current season was greenleaf.
Then a black she-cat came up while arguing with an orange spotted tom. "Why should I do this? These cats are RiverClan. I'm a ThunderClan cat; you know that Fallen Leaves." The she-cat sounded like she was ready to rip off the tom's fur. With a little more arguing, the black she-cat clawed playfully at the tom's ears and approached the two cats. "You two will help with a prophecy to save the clans. Let's go, Fallen Leaves. I'm done with my job to StarClan." The she-cat tossed her head and walked away.
"Sorry about my mate, Hollyleaf." The tom looked embarrassed and continued with "She can get a little sore on the subject of saving the world. But, she was trying to politely say that you and another cat will have the fate of the true clans on your shoulders. When you meet the other cat, we will send you both a dream. But, in the meantime, beware the hidden storm.
Here you go! So sorry that I haven't been able to post at all lately; there have been too many projects for school. I will try to post three chapters, starting Friday night until the end of our holiday break. See you soon with chapter two!
