I hope you guys like my prologue. I worked very hard on it but be warned. This book is not like the regular warrior books.
Prologue
Hawksun lay before the pool at his feet that seemed to shimmer by the stars. He watched intently on his reflection to see what Powerclan had in store for him.
That day he had been scared beyond all reason for he had lost his first of nine lives in a battle against Darkclan. He could remember the intense pain he felt when their leader, Devilsun, knocked him against a rock just hard enough to kill him. His journey to meet Powerclan was amazing for he could see his body get smaller and smaller until it disappeared and he was among the stars.
He appeared in a forest with nine other cats in it. They all said in unison, "The first of the lives granted upon you has been lost." Their heads turned to a tenth cat that was exactly like him. "That life will stay with us until all is whole once again." They flicked their tails and he was falling through the stars and down to his body.
The impact was not as bad as the thought that he had just partially died. Tears streamed down his face and into the water as he relived that terror over and over again.
His head jerked up as he smelled a strange sent yet familiar. His head slowly turned down to the water and he saw his mother standing next to him. His head reeled up and saw the starry spirit of his mother standing before him.
"Hello Hawksun." Her voice rushed through him and made him feel warm although it was the end of leaf-fall. "You have lost a life today and you have become a tom."
She shimmered before him and disappeared, but before he could cry out his whole vision changed and he saw the sky lit by the pale moon.
Sky must resist
The urge to join
The darkness
That lurks in the shadows
The powers will fail
And the life will leave
Or the hills will roll
In the morrow.
