Stormcry slammed her clumsy paws upon her prey, licking her lips in satisfaction as blood oozed from a blow to the head. She picked up the limp prey with delicacy, trying not to taste the juicy meat that was for her clan only.
The she-cat was oddly built. With a body that was too long for her short front legs and large paws, she was made fun of as an apprentice. Her tail was non exsistant, a trait that ran through her family, as she was told by her old mentor. Her pelt was beautiful, with a creamy-colored breast, dappled with smoke colored tabby stripes, that eventually solidify around the rest of her body. Her face was rounded, with large hazel eyes. She was a soul survivor of her litter, losing all 4 of her other siblings and her mother. The other cats agreed, and gave her the name Stormkit, although it seemed clever to the leader at the time, Opalstar, Stormcry took it as a punishment for letting her mother die.
Her father, who took his own life on the Thunderpath, never forgave Stormcry, another death she was blamed for. The only cat who didn't hate the young warrior was the new leader of Thunderclan, Solemnstar, a dark gray tom with black points. Solemnstar was an apprentice with Stormcry, after he ran away from his original clan, Shadowclan. Both warriors were unaccepted and unappreciated. Solemnstar's mentor, Sunsteps, became the deputy, and eventually leader after Opalstar, and she immediately picked her old apprentice. Unfortunately, on her trip to Highstones, a Windclan patrol killed her, thinking that she was lying about Opalstar's death. It was a gloomy day when Thunderclan accepted a Shadowclan cat as their leader, but Solemnstar has been one of the best in generations, according to the elders. He also isn't afraid of the dark cats across the Thunderpath, that he crossed only moons old.
Solemnstar and Stormcry were best friends, and probably would be mates, if Stormcry didn't receive a prophecy that marked her fate.
"The King of Storms will one day drown the cry of Thunder."
