Prologue
Thunder bolted above the ThunderClan nursery. Inside, a she-cat was bearing kits. The ThunderClan medicine cat, Jayfeather was beside her.
"Don't worry, Dovewing. You're doing just fine." Her mate Bumblestripe soothed. Bumblestripe was a big gray tom with darker gray stripes. Dovewing was a pale gray she-cat.
"I know. I just want these kits out of me." Dovewing panted.
"Don't worry, they're almost here." Jayfeather mewed. His blind eyes seemed to be looking at Dovewing. Dovewing tried to relax.
"Oh! Here comes one!" Jayfeather exclaimed. "Push Dovewing!"
Dovewing pushed and soon there was a tiny scrap lying on the moss.
"Lick it Bumblestripe!" Jayfeather ordered. Bumblestripe obeyed. It was a small she-cat that looked exactly like Bumblestripe.
Soon, there were 4 tiny scraps nursing from Dovewing. 2 she-cats and 2 toms.
One tom and she-cat were like little copies of their parents. The other tom was white and gray. But the other she-cat stood out. She was ginger, black and white. Nothing like her parents.
Jayfeather woke up by a pond. Sitting on a rock was a mangled old gray she-cat with a flattened face.
"Yellowfang!" Jayfeather exclaimed. He ran up to her and jumped on the rock.
"Greetings, Jayfeather. StarClan have a message for you." Yellowfang meowed.
"What is it?" Jayfeather asked curiously.
Then, a flame colored tom padded out of the trees.
"Firestar!" Jayfeather mewed and jumped up to greeted his old leader.
"Jayfeather. As you know, Dovewing had a litter last night." Firestar told him.
"Of course I know that! I was with her!" Jayfeather snapped.
Firestar nodded "But one cat stands out. Holly will eventually die, Ash will disappear, The Storm will pass. But the Moon will last forever" His voice echoed in the clearing.
"What do you mean?" Jayfeather asked. But Firestar said no more. Him and Yellowfang disappeared.
What do they mean? Holly will eventually die, Ash will disappear, the Storm will pass, but the Moon will last forever?
Jayfeather shook his head and closed his eyes.
Dovewing licked her kit's heads and purred.
"They're beautiful, Bumblestripe." Dovewing meowed.
"They are. Just like you." Bumblestripe said and licked his mate's head. "Do you have names for them yet?" He asked.
"Yes. The dark gray she-cat will be called Hollykit, in honor of Hollyleaf. The light gray tom will be called Ashkit. The white and gray tom is called Stormkit, and the other she-kit is Moonkit." Dovewing mewed.
"They're great names!" Bumblestripe exclaimed.
Jayfeather was examining the kits.
Hollykit, Ashkit, Stormkit, and Moonkit... The prophecy!
