Prologue

Three cats with stars in their pelts padded side by side. One of them was a beautiful white she-cat, another was a dark ginger tom with a pelt shining with flames, and the last one a gray tabby tom with eyes that see more than what's on the outside. They bounded together to their destination in awkward silence. The ginger tom finally broke the silence with a plea, "Jayfeather please reconsider your decision, most cats get reincarnation without requesting it, but you're asking for it!"

The gray tabby replied, "Firestar, I think I told you this enough times, I know what I am doing."

"Jay's Wing, I waited for you so many moons….." said the white she-cat.

"Half Moon, I know you waited for seasons and seasons for me and losing me again could tear you apart, but I really want to follow the path of a warrior."

"You were a sharpclaw when we were together alive…." started the she-cat.

"You know what I mean Half Moon; I want to follow the path of a CLAN warrior," interrupted Jayfeather, who is also known as Jay's Wing.

"I guess it's too late to late to stop you…" said Firestar as they arrived at their destination.

"This is the moonpool," said Half Moon with an mrrow of awe, "and those four cats?"

"Yes, they are the four great leaders of StarClan, Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow," said a blue-grayish she-cat.

"Bluestar," said Jayfeather, "it has been a while."

"And it will be a while longer now…." said Bluestar.

"Wait you mean…." stated Half Moon.

"As you feared most Half Moon, the four leaders have agreed to grant reincarnation."

"Jayfeather, please step forward," howled another ginger tom, but this tom had a brighter pelt.

Jayfeather stepped forward with a unique kind of power. He was one of the three of the prophecy. Some cats even felt his power and feared it, so they stepped back, but unlike them, Thunder, the ginger tom, stood his ground.

"Jayfeather, is it your wish to walk the paths of the lake once again?"

"It is," replied Jayfeather.

"Then by the powers of the whole of StarClan, I grant you your wish, but I can't assure you that you will be borne into, ThunderClan."

"You may be born into the grand clans of RiverClan….." started a powerful blue tom.

"Or the clans of Wind or Shadow….." continued two she-cats.

"But we will do everything in our power to try and get you in ThunderClan," finished Thunder.

But Jayfeather didn't hear any of the rest of the four leaders warning, because he was already slowly fading away from StarClan. But, he could hear one voice, the voice of Half Moon shouting, "I'm tired of waiting Jay's Wing, so I be right behind you, please remember!"
