Destiny, it is what the end is for every person, every animal, every thing in the world. It is the inevitable truth, what will happen to someone in the end, how their life is plotted out. But who can prove that destiny exists?

Fate and Destiny go hand-in-hand, plotting every bump in the road, every emotion, every thought. But are they the same?

No.

Not the same.

And together, they set out to prove that Destiny – and Fate, were real.

"Falconpaw, look at this!" she called, her green eyes sparking in the sunlight. The dark gray she-cat and her friend, an even darker gray tom, had just reached the thick bushes surrounding Moonpool.

"Its right in there," she concluded, pointing with her tail to a dark hole in the bushes. Falconpaw gulped, flexing his claws nervously as his older friend jumped into the bushes, completely unafraid.

Falconpaw and Woodpaw had been friends ever since they were little, of different litters. Woodpaw was a descendent of one of the former clan deputies, Brackenfur, and Falconpaw was the son of the Clan leader, Lionstar, a descendant of the legendary Firestar.

Falconpaw emerged from the bushes as the moon slipped out of the clouds, lighting the area around them with gray light, making the river and pool look like quicksilver. He breathed out it shock, Woodpaw was right, it was beautiful.

"Why'd you bring me here?" he asked finally, padding around the clearing a little, not looking at her, but at the water where his face was perfectly reflected. Woodpaw shrugged.

"I don't know, I thought you would like it," she grinned, padding over to the water herself, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yah… it is," murmured Falconpaw. He glanced up for a second at Woodpaw, her fur bleached pale gray in the moonlight, green eyes glowing. She looked up and he quickly looked away, trotting over to the little waterfall that fed Moonpool, just like the pool, it looked like quicksilver.

"This is pretty too," he murmured, touching the water with his paw. But instead of touching stone, his paw went right through the water. Startled, he pulled it out and looked over to Woodpaw, who hurried over to him.

Woodpaw dittoed what he had just did, and then stuck her head in before quickly pulling it back out. She looked over at Falconpaw, her eyes wide.

"There's a cave," she whispered, "A cave behind the waterfall." And just jumped in. Rolling his eyes, Falconpaw fallowed her through the waterfall.

She was right, it was a cave. Well, more like a tunnel now that he was looking in it. It was narrow, only a tail-length wide, and very deep. He could tell from the sound of her paws that Woodpaw was already exploring.

He took off after her, marveling at how the rock was in a smooth and perfect circle around both of the apprentices. He twitched his whiskers as he sensed a bend in the tunnel.

As he turned the bend he stopped short, Woodpaws tail was just disappearing behind a second bend, but was more remarkable was that light was coming from the bend. A pale, gentle light, and it was cold, like moonlight.

He took a few cautious steps forward, rounding the bend into the bright light.

Hmmm... I kinda like the begining to this one, unlike all of my other beginings. I suck at beginings, lets just say that. Anyway, read and reveiw, i'll have the next chapter up as soon as possible.
