Cavitus has escaped prison once more, but when our flightless friends try to recapture him, plans backfire. The crew lands on Earth, but as kits! Now they must survive as warrior cats in separate Clans, and things get rough when they are given a prophesy from StarClan. Will they learn the ways of the warrior cats, or will they fail and never return to the stars?

6. Chapter 5: A Different Destiny

Moonwish has been waiting for many moons for an apprentice, but Featherstar wants the right cat for the job. "Shellkit, from this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Shellpaw. Snowshine, you've never had an apprentice, would you mentor Shellpaw? I know you will pass down your bravery, knowledge, and loyalty to the warrior code to him the best." Featherstar gleamed as mentor and apprentice touched noses, then she turned to Mistykit. "Mistykit, from this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mistypaw. Riverglow, I know you are an outstanding warrior and mentor, will you mentor Mistypaw?

I'll never get and apprentice. Mistypaw was my last hope, and now…"Rockkit, from this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Rockpaw. Moonwish…" The white furred medicine cat snapped his head up to face his leader, "I'm putting Rockpaw in your paws." Moonwish stepped down to touch noses with Rockpaw. Those warm, amber eyes sparkled with starlight as the young tom smiled up at Moonwish.

"Featherstar, may I speak with you for a moment?" Featherstar nodded and the two cats walked into the leader's den. The golden tabby leader asked cheerfully, "What is it Moonwish?" Moonwish sighed, "Why did you choose Rockpaw to be my apprentice?" Featherstar gave her chest a quick lick before she replied. "I feel Rockpaw has what it takes to be a medicine cat."

Moonwish thought back to the first time he'd visited Rockpaw after he'd opened his eyes. Rockpaw hardly spoke, but he was the sweetest cat Moonwish had ever met. Rockpaw was strong too, and how big he was startled the medicine cat deeply. The one thing that Moonwish found strange about the quiet tom was his pelt, it looked unnatural.

Moonwish looked over his to his den where Rockpaw sat at the entrance. "What is it that makes Rockpaw special?" Featherstar stroked Moonwish's spine with her tail. "You said he might be part of a prophecy. Anyways, didn't you notice how happy he was when you touched noses with him?" Moonwish nodded the he finally accepted the reality. "All right, I will teach Rockpaw the ways of the medicine cat." Then, Moonwish boldly walked over to the medicine cat's den. The place where a different destiny is laid out for one of the four.
