Prologue (ch 1)
"Is she the one?" A mystical cat stepped forward, closer to a shimmering pool.
"She? The golden and orange one? Yes, she is," another one nodded, pointing at the envisioned cat in the pool with a claw.
The first cat nodded. "So, Reedwhisker, how do you think she will save the Clans? The Clans are in danger."
Reedwhisker shrugged. Pawing the dew covered grass, he mewed, "Well, Bluefeather, I don't know. She perhaps will have powers and such, but since her mother doesn't believe in us spirit cats, we won't know her very well. We can only hope to try to reach her in dreams or so."
Bluefeather blinked. "I guess so. This cat will definitely not know about us. If she is the one to save the Clans, then we must try every single way to reach her. Hopefully that will happen.
Another cat then stepped up.
"So you want to reach this cat in his or her dreams? I'll try too." The third cat stared at the pool.
"Let's just hope that this cat will be able to save the clans." Reedwhisker nodded.
They stared at the pool for a little while, thinking.
"I just hope the Clans will be able to hold off this danger before it's too late!" Mousewhisker, the third cat, looked at his other two friends.
They could only hope and try to reach this little cat, who would be the one to take on the role to save the Clans.
A New Beginning- almost 6 months ago
Someone was trying to get her attention. Everything was blurred, and she stumbled as she tried to come towards the one who had called her.
"Special one… Come…" A shape appeared in the shadows.
She came forward.
There was a cat, with dark brown fur and long whiskers. "I am Reedwhisker. I have come because you are about to take on a special role no other cat will have."
The little cat was confused. "A role?"
"Only you can do it, special one. In a land somewhat far away, there are four clans in the need of help. That's what you must do, help them. The clans rely on you…"
"What?" the little cat cocked her head. Who were these strange cats? Where was she? "What do you mean? How will I find this land far away?"
The other cat shook his head as he started to fade into the darkness. "That's up to you to find out. You will discover many things and have many obstacles to overcome. Prepare…"
The spirit cat faded out of sight before the little cat could ask anymore. "But…"
All of a sudden, everything around her rapidly turned brighter. A bright light filled her vision and…
She breathed in cold, windy air. Flinching, the wind going through her fur, she shuddered from the sting.
Though she couldn't see, she knew it was very bright. Feeling around, blind, she found two bodies near her.
She felt a small, warm body close by and knew it must be a sibling nearby. Another warm body belonged to her mother. Hungry, she was fed milk from her mother.
What happened before? She wondered as she filled her belly with milk. Her sibling was right by her side, hungry as well.
After they fed, the two curled up next to their mother's belly, who curled around them both.
The little cat could hear their mother's voice.
"You two will grow up to be beautiful cats someday." Her mother's tail touched her ear, and she flicked her ear at the touch. "Your fur is golden, just like a phoenix. I've heard some legends about great phoenixes that ruled the world long ago just before two-legs came. Phoenixes were a great golden color, just like your fur. Firstborn, I name you Phoenix."
Phoenix is a beautiful name, Phoenix thought.
She felt her mother turn away after a moment, towards the other sibling. "I used to have a very good friend called Ivyleaf. She would hunt with me and we would have a great time, until she disappeared one day. She had the same colored fur as you. I name you Ivy."
Her sibling shifted a little, hearing her mother's words.
"For now, we rest…"
Resting, Phoenix and Ivy fell asleep, next to their mother's warm tummy.
