This is for you, uncle. I wish I knew you better.
"How do you know about the prophecy?"
"…crap."
I stand and look at them. "I'll tell you what I can, but not here."
"What about the river?" suggests Jaypaw.
"Riverclan…what about the training hollow?" says Hollypaw.
"Hollypaw, when this is over, remind me to tell you that you are a genius." I remark, causing Hollypaw to blush.
We sneak out through the dirtplace…yuck. I feel like a shower would be like a gift from heaven. Unfortunately, as soon as we get to the training area, I step into hell.
"How do you know?"
"What else do you know?"
"Who are you, really?"
I shake my head. "One at a time…I know a lot. I know more than the stars… but as a curse, not a blessing." They look surprised.
"Imagine that you know what will happen, you just don't know when… all the deaths, the pain… all the secrets and lies… the prophecies that are yet to come… and you can barely do anything. It's utter torture…"
I bow my head down. It's silent for a long time, until Lionpaw speaks. "Can we ask you something… about the prophecy?"
I nod."What are our powers?"
I think…"Jaypaw can see into your mind. He can pull a memory and view it through his own eyes… he can sense your emotions, so he can tell if you're lying… a mindwalker. He can also visit the time of the Ancients… you'll find out what that is soon enough. " I nod to him, and turn to Lionpaw.
"You are indestructible. Your mind registers the enemy, and protects yourself against it. If you were to let someone harm you, they would be able to. Time slows down when you fight, and you react without thinking, and yet you think… A pool of water, reflecting everything around it… the unbeatable." I turn to Hollypaw.
"Hollypaw, you are different. You were not pulled from the past, like them. But Starclan gave you a gift- strategy. You can think of plans that protect and can pull you through. You're tie to the code is unbreakable… you are special- in your own way, you're more important than your brothers."
"The third from the past is yet to come."
I sit down, watching them. Jaypaw looks as if he solved a hard question with an answer that made sense. Hollypaw looks a bit disbelieving, and yet proud of the last remark. Lionpaw, on the other hand, looks like he won the lottery.
Score: me one, dimwit prophesied ones zero. I really rock…
"Who are you?"
I look at him. "Who are you?" Jaypaw asks again.
I sigh. "I am not what I was…" I smile softly.
"…but I know who I am."
"However, you shouldn't know." I cut their mews of protest. "My story is very hard… you do not want to know…" I look away.
"Tell us…" I snap my head up.
"You have no idea! No idea of the hurt, the responsibility!" My voice broke.
"My family… my father didn't care, he forgot about me…my mother was changed after her brother died…he was only nine moons… my sister didn't care, she was barely three moons when I left…" One tear rolled down as I looked away.
"She will never remember me… and I cannot go back…that was the price…
I took a warriors name…to help you three…and I was banished…" my head dropped.
"I cannot go home until they call me… until I prove myself… and I'm not sure if that will do it either…all because of her." I unsheathe my claws.
"The first of the Sand… her name was Lilacfall…her mate was Galeclaw…a medicine cat…
I was cast out…even before I took my name… because I am part of the main branch…
My name… my full name… wasHimegimi Naito no Sabaku... Princess Night of the Sand…
Until I left…I was the heir of the Sabaku throne..."
Jaypaw POV
She had said everything she needed to say. However, there was one problem. I couldn't sense her- I couldn't hear her thoughts. Her story, though… her pain was so great…no one could stand that.
But she did…
"And the…blade?" I asked.
"Mark…of the pure-blooded…It is my inheritance…"
Amazing… She was stronger than any of us…
It reminded me of the recent prophecy…
The warriors of another world shall become two. They will help lift the darkness. The unloved, the cast away, the feared… The unloved, the cast away, the feared…The helper, the lover, the friend… The helper, the lover, the friend…
The warriors of another world…
Shaking my head mentally, I look into Lionpaw's and Hollypaw's heads. I see a she-cat with fur unlike I've ever seen; midnight-fog-water-sky-star-charcoal… to many to count, let alone see. Her eyes were a startling green- all the shades of the forest. Well, at least we know she can charm a cat…
"We should get back." murmurs Hollypaw. Lionpaw nods in agreement. We set back to camp, but Wolfsong stops us just before we enter.
"Please…don't tell anyone, okay?" she begs. We agree, and Lionpaw and Hollypaw step inside. She turns her head and whispers in my ear,
"Be careful… Jay's Wing."
I do not own warriors.
