My first story please review. Enjoy!
Lightning
Prologue
Eaglestar leader of Thunderclan gazed lovingly at the clan below, his clan. His gaze turned to Silverpelt and the members of StarClan high above. The sky was cloudy and threatening rain. Just then a large light brown tom steeped out of the nursery racing to the high ledge.
"Eaglestar," panted the medicine cat "You're kit have been born."
"Kit?" mewed Eaglestar questionably.
"Only one was born." replied Rockfur
"Is it alright Rockfur, is Treefur ok?" hissed Eaglestar loudly.
"They are both fine, why don't you come see for yourself."
"That is good news, thank you Rockfur." purred Eaglestar.
Eaglestar followed Rockfur into the nursery where his mate Treefur was slowly licking the kit's head. Eaglestar got closer touching his nose to the kit's tortoise-shell fur.
"It's a tom." Treefur mewed softly.
Outside it had started to rain the flashes of lightning were close and frequent. Rockfur stuck his head out of the nursery entrance. His head was instantly drenched.
"This storm is terrible I wonder if it means some-" Rockfur cut himself off
"Rockfur… is something wrong" Eaglestar asked, turning around to face Rockfur who had his back to him.
Eaglestar padded up to Rockfur who was staring blankly into the rain "Rockfur?"
Rockfur stared blankly into the rain and lightning for another minute before he finally snapped out of it with a shake of his head. He turned to Eaglestar who was looking questionably at him.
"I'm fine c-can I have a word with you?" He muttered slowly.
"Yes, of course we'll talk in my den."
Eaglestar gave a quick lick to his mate and a lovingly nuzzle to his son who was fast asleep.
"Good night my sweets" Eaglestar mewed quietly
Then he braced himself against the rain as he and Rockfur raced across the sleeping camp, up the rocky walkway and into the warmth and comfort of Eaglestar's den. Eaglestar padded over to his nest made of moss and turned around to look at Rockfur who seemed deep in thought.
"Well," Eaglestar persisted "What is it you needed to tell me?"
"Starclan has spoken to me." mewed Rockfur "There is a new prophecy which conveniently enough was spoken tonight."
Realization dawned on Eaglestar "It doesn't mean-"
"I'm afraid it does." Rockfur mewed cutting Eaglestar off.
"Well, what did the prophecy say?" Eaglestar asked questionably.
Rockfur repeated the prophecy of which Starclan told him. There was silence in Eaglestar's den only broken by the thunder and lightning outside. Finally a silence that seemed to last hours Rockfur spoke.
"I'm sorry Eaglestar." Rockfur mewed sadly staring at his paws.
"It's not your fault." Eaglestar hissed curtly.
There was another long silence.
"I'll leave you now." Rockfur mewed, he then turned and padded slowly into the rain back to his den.
Eaglestar stayed where he was for a moment looking outside, following the trail of lightning and counting the seconds till he heard thunder again. Eaglestar walked out of his den and back into the rain padding swiftly back to the nursery hoping Treefur hadn't fallen asleep. As he approached he slowed down and entered at a trot. Treefur was still awake but looking very tired.
"You're remembering the first one aren't you?"
Treefur stayed quiet.
Eaglestar sat down in front of Treefur and asked "Have you named him yet?"
"No, I wanted to wait for you" Treefur replied drowsily
"What did you have in mind?"
Treefur stayed quiet for a moment before answering "Hawk, a hawk is just as fierce, just as determined, and just as sharp as an eagle and I can tell he'll be just like his father."
Eaglestar gazed lovingly into his mate's eyes "It's perfect, Hawkit it is."
Treefur let out a tremendous yawn "I'm glad that's done with good night Eaglestar."
"Good night Treefur," giving his mate a nuzzle "and goodnight Hawkit," and more quietly he added "may Starclan light your path."
Eaglestar returned to his den but he did not curl up in his nest to try and find sleep he knew he wouldn't
The first part of the four part prophecy still rang in his head.
"The tom of multi colors, son of thunder will have the power that was lost, he will have the power of the sky within his paws."
Eaglestar didn't sleep that night nor did he sleep the night after that, in fact he didn't sleep for six moons he didn't sleep as he watched his son make friends with the other kits. The first time that Eaglestar slept was the day that he apprenticed his son to his deputy along with the rest of his friends. Because the day after the first day when his son would learn the ways to be a warrior and slowly follow the path which would make him legend. That first day is when Hawkpaw's adventure would begin.
Yea I noticed that Prologue is kind of short this will be one of the only one's that are. Chapter one will be in real soon.
