Prologue
The sound of water falling water drifted through the camp of small cats, most were asleep but a few were awake to keep watch of their clan. Water layed in dips that lay in the cold ground of leafbare,a flash of light filled the air followed by the boom of distant thunder. A slender gray tabby she cat opened her pale blue eyes and she looked at the sky. The thunder and lighting seemed to mix together perfectly into the clouds but there seemed to be a message in the clouds . The she cat sighed and then stiffened as she heard paw steps and noticed it was just her apprentice Pebblestream. The light brown tom was unusually small , but he had a good memory for herbs and seemed like a great medicine cat from the moment he was born." So what are you thinking about right now Falconbreeze?" he mewed quietly but with some authority in his voice. Falconbreeze grunted and turned to the medicine cat apprentice showing the scarred muzzle which was curled into a permanent thunder and lighting seem to be mixing with the wind...."she paused and her gaze widens as she whispers quietly. "The sounds of the crying bird and the raging sky comes to an end,the skys,water and shadows will clash leaving tears behind...."Her body shakes as if the message took all her energy and the light fades from her eyes and she falls to the ground. Pebblestream immediately went over to his mentor and put a paw on her gently and whispers "Falconbreeze are you alright?"these things always happened after she got a prophecy but the she-cat didnt get up,respond or make any sign that she was alright. Pebblestream's gray eyes widened and he yowls"FALCONBREEZE!"he shook her with a paw but her eyes were glazed over and her fur was now cold as the snow covering the ground during leafbare. A well-muscled black tom with gray stripes came over and looked around"what went wrong i heard a yowl" Pebblestream looked at him and lets out a mew ragged with grief"its Flaconbreeze.... shes dead"he got up and mewed to the tom"Coalwhisker please put falconbreeze in the middle of camp for vigil i must go and tell Scarletstar about the death of our medicine cat"he padded away from the corpse of the dead medicine cat and padded toward a large wall of rock which had a shelter of bracken in the bottom cracks of it. This was the leaders den, Pebblestream slipped through the bracken and padded into the leaders den where Scarletstar sat eating a small pigeon. she looks up from her pigeon and saw pebblestream and she mewed"yes what is it?"her dark gray fur was slick and the black markings blended in perfectly with the fur. Pebblestream took a deep breath and mewed"Falconbreeze is dead....." the errie quietness swept over the den until Scarletstar let out a faint whisper"she was such a loyal companion but life comes and goes and we must go on. You will be the sole medicine cat of Snowclan now Pebblestream don't disappoint us" he dipped his head to the leader and padded out and bumped into Violetpetal,the Snowclan deputy. He murmurs a quick'sorry' and padded to the medicine cat den and prepared Falconbreezes body for vigil. But the prophecy continued to ring in his mind.~the sound of the dying bird and the raging sky comes to an end the skys,water and shadows will clash leaving tears behind...~
