Well, this is the prologue. I might as well continue the story even though no one seems interested.

Disclaimer: Like I said before, I don't own Warriors.

And to anyone (*cough*not likely*cough*) who's reading this, I hope you enjoy. It's much shorter then the other chapters I'll be posting, but like I said, it's only the prologue.


The angry clouds blocked the sun from spreading its warmth to the land below. The ground was being fed water that was falling heavily from the darkening sky. Every now and then a lightning would strike, and that's how the thunder knew it was its time to rage. Animals of all kinds were forced to take shelter in their dens and wait patiently until it stopped, listening to the soft pattering of the rain that filled the deafening silence. As one, they turned away from the clouds up in the air high over them.

There, up above in the endless sky, shimmering cats stood peering from behind their sharpened, ready claws. Only in the gentle breeze that shifted their star covered fur, did they move. Everything else stood still and unmoving as solid brick walls. They all seemed to be concentrating on the same thing; their eyes pressed shut, their teeth clenched together. Even the dumbest mouse would know that something was wrong. That something was going to happen.

"There is no doubt that there are terrible times ahead," whispered one the cats. She opened her misty eyes that were empty with no emotion and she was unknowingly digging her claws into the soft ground underneath her paws. "But not even we, Starclan, know what's going on. How can we warn the clans of what is to come, if we don't know?" The cats glanced at one another.

"The clans aren't stupid, nor weak," spoke up another cat. He was a big, dark tom and his usual intelligent eyes held nothing but exasperation as he stared around at everyone. "Whatever is to come, I'm sure they can face it and be stronger than before. They don't need us warning every sharp thorn that's in their path." He glanced around at the other cats' disbelief faces and gave a small shrug. "Well, they don't."

The first cat frowned, lifting her head almost challengingly. "I do not think I understand you, Talonstar. What are you trying to say? That we shouldn't look over our clans? That we should do nothing, and leave them on their own? I don't think so. We are their ancestors, we are here to help guide their paws and be with them through whatever may happen."

Talonstar let out a snort. "That's not what I meant, and you know it. I'm just saying that we are always interfering in their lives, and controlling their destinies. What I'm not saying is to abandon them; I just believe they are strong enough to get through anything that's thrown at them. Yes, we are to watch over them, but do we really have to sort out every problem? Poke our noses in on them? I was regularly annoyed of this when I was alive.

And," he went on, "I'm not the only one who thinks this; many other cats believe this too! But some, like you, easily got offended and wouldn't listen to a word of it."

"And I won't!" The she-cat hissed, her claws sinking deeper into the ground. "What you are saying is nonsense, nothing but meaningless words that you even convinced yourself to believe in. And like the others, I will not hear any more of this... This mouse brained idea. I don't know who you are trying to fool, but Starclan has always protected the clans and it will stay that way. If we find out that something bad is really to come, then we shall share it with leaders or medicine cats."

"If that's how you want it, Brightstar. But let me warn you, if I have to break the peace in Starclan to have it my way, I will." Talonstar got slowly to his paws, his sharp eyes focusing directly at the she-cat. "Starclan needs a change. Starclan needs a leader like me to control it. And cats like you will not be welcome."

Brightstar's eyes widened. "What the blazes are you talking about? There is no one leader of Starclan," she scoffed.

Talonstar narrowed his eyes. "Not yet."


So, have a good day everyone! It's 5/2/13 and a little random thing: I'm drawing the deathly hallows symbol on my wrist because it's the day of the Battle of Hogwarts, 15 years ago :D

Anyways, please review! Or if you don't like it, at least tell me why.
