"It is said that Three will save the clans from darkness. But the prophecy has changed. The three of the cat with fire in his pelt was given the aid of three outsides. Thus changing the prophecy completely. And now, the Three from Past the Stars are the ones who will stop the darkness…"
"The Fallen, the Darkest, and the Undying each have proven themselves to be more than what Starclan, and beyond had been hoping for. But, in return for their protection to the clans, and the defeat of the Darkness that last forever, a new evil has managed to arise…"
"This evil will test the strengths of not only the Three, but the clans… and Starclan as well. Hidden in the stars is the final prophecy for the Angels to hear, but they must learn its secret, before Forever Dark can. For if they lose to the darkness of hate and rage, not only the fall of the clans will come…"
"But the World as well…"
…
"I, Felidaestar, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn." I looked down to see blue and amber eyes shining back at me.
"Wolfpaw, Nightpaw… do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" I asked and both, at the same time spoke up and said "I do!" Nightpaw's voice was like a loud chirp, while Wolfpaw's voice was more controlled and calm. I smiled at both of them, both my kits and continued.
"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Wolfpaw, from this moment you will be known as Wolfpelt. Starclan honors you for your Bravery and Independence. Nightpaw, from this moment you will be known as Nightfeather. Starclan honors your Kindness and Loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan."
I then rest my head on each of their own and they licked my shoulder. Then, with a swift flick of my tail, we turned to face the clan below.
"Wolfpelt, Nightfeather, Wolfpelt, Nightfeather!" The clan called as one. I could see the two newly made Warriors were gleaming with pride. Below the clan was just the same. Although, hidden behind the warm smiles was mistrust towards their looks.
Nightfeather, a mirror image of her father. And she does not lack his fighting skills either. The only difference I truly noticed was her kindness. She never starts a fight, she always does favors for others, and not once has she given a glare to anyone. I hope she never gets the ice in her veins like her father…
Wolfpelt, on the other hand was just appearance. Does not resemble his father at all. Neither to me. His fur matched the stone walls of the hallow, but his body and anatomy was cat, but with visible traces of wolf. That was my fault. But he does not see it as him being different, but stronger.
The clan then split up, going back to they were what they were doing, but a lot came up to the two new Warriors and congratulated them. I smiled at this and then felt a cold and dark presence next to me. But fear did not grasp over my heart, instead I let out a soft purr and said "If only Stormkit was with them… but they finally did it… there finally Warriors."
"There was never any doubt that they would become Warriors. They are strong."
I nodded and said "That is true. They have your strength, and fighting skills." I felt a pelt brush up against mine and then he said "And your bravery. They will grow up to protect this clan with everything they have. And when it is time, I will be there to greet them…" The pelt faded away into the wind and I smiled and said "Alright… bye Scourge…"
Scourge had disappeared, and I was alone on the High Ledge again. I sighed and started to lay down when I heard someone climbing the Rock Pile. I looked over and watched as Flamewing dragged her way up, her belly full of Ashfur's kits.
"Hey there." I said with a smile. She gave me a nod and then lay down next to me saying "There Warriors now. I guess you're really proud?" I nodded and said "I will always be. Just motherly instincts. So, how is everything with you?"
"Boring… I want to do something… anything!"
"Clean the elders den?"
"Never mind…"
I laughed and she chuckled. Then suddenly someone jumped on my back and yelled "Felidaestar! Foxleap calling me crazy! Tell him I'm not crazy!" I looked up and saw Nightmare's blood red gaze stared back at me. I rolled my eyes and said "But you are Nightmare… you were a human hat for Starclan's sake…"
Nightmare looked up at a hat, she had found and then smiled and said "But it makes me look badass… does it not?"
"Very…" Flamewing said with a giggle and Nightmare gently swatted her ear and said "Says the she-cat who's got a loved crazy mate."
"What about you? Yours is a kit killer." Flamewing resorted and narrowed her eyes. Nightmare rolled her eyes and said "Whatever…"
"Hey, no fighting you too." I spoke up as I started to wash my paw and then I asked "Nightmare, any trouble along the borders?"
"Fain traces of Windclan, but I don't know if it's the wind blowing their scent over or if they crossed." Nightmare said and then Flamewing spoke up and said "I thought the clans were at peace with each other ever since the battle in the Dark Forest."
"Actually, I think it started something unseen to Thunderclan." I said in a quiet voice and stared down at the clan. Flamewing and Nightmare exchanged a glance and then Flamewing asked "And what do you mean by that, Felidaestar?"
"We knew about the battle first. The Three not only from Firestar's kin, but us as well live here, and our powers. Thunderclan once gave Scourge shelter, and Tigerstar attacked to have revenge against us. Not to mention we are full of non-clan cats." I said and then added "I wouldn't be surprised if Windclan or Shadowclan held hostility against us right now."
"But we will be ready!" Nightmare said lifted her brown paw up. Her claws came out and gleamed in the fading sunlight. Flamewing sighed and said "Is that the only thing your claws can do? Fight? Kill?"
Nightmare suddenly became quiet, really quiet. I saw Flamewing's face change and saw she was sorry for speaking up and saying it. I rested my tail on her shoulder to tell her it wasn't her fault.
Slowly Nightmare brought back her paw and just stared forward. After a very long and awkward silence I stood up and said "Well, it's getting late. I'll see you two tomorrow." Flamewing yawned and then said "Yah. Good night guys." She then stood up, and made her way down the Rock Pile. When I turned back to Nightmare, she was gone.
"Nightmare?" I called and looked over the edge of the High Ledge. I found her black as night pelt mixed in with the other Warriors who were heading into the den and I just stared. She still creeps me out sometimes…
I then, yawned myself and made my way into my den. Inside was cool and dark, and someone had placed fresh moss on my bed which means I was going to get a good night sleep… hopefully. It was strange, but I was having nightmares more often. And not something stupid. But ones like before. Where I fell asleep in the barn on the way to the clans.
I lay down on the moss and then sighed. Looking to the left, I watched the sundown shine its beautiful warm light down on the Thunderclan. And then, I slowly fell asleep.
