Rant: I've been re-reading the New Prophecy series lately and I've been remembering how much I LOVE Squirrel/Bramble as a couple! Though I began to hate them after Long Shadows at least Squirrelflight I remembered my love for both those cats and the idea for this story came to me! So I hope you enjoy the allegiances and prologue!

Info: This takes place a few moons after the Great Battle, it is set in Bramblestar and Squirrelflight's POV with the occasional other cat!

Disclaimer: I don't own warriors!

Prologue

A huge dark brown tabby tom rises to his paws, blinking his eyes as he adjusts to the warm amber glow that is reflected in the stream just a few tail lengths in front of him. He pads over to the edge of the stream, bending his head down to lap the water. As soon as the water touches his lips he pulls his head back in alarm,

"Its salty!" he exclaims. Screwing up his face as though remembering a strange memory from moons ago, he's about to try the strange water again when he gasps and backs away from the stream his fur bristling and fear flashing in his amber eyes. The stream has turned an odd shade of scarlet, so it looks like a river of blood flowing through the forest. Blood will spill blood! Blood will spill blood! A voice booms the brown tabby tom looks terrified as he slowly pads towards the stream of blood.

Upon looking down at the stream the tom seems to relax, the formerly scarlet water is now the normal shade of blue. Bending down the tom frowns,

"No salt..." he murmurs sounding quite confused. There will be three kin, kin of your kin...the voice echos mysteriously. The tom sighs, "Jayfeather...Lionblaze...Hollyleaf..." he quickly corrects himself. "No! Dovewing..." he sighs as he thinks of those three cats though the she-cat called Dovewing drifts from his mind and he finds himself remembering when he would play with Jaykit, Lionkit and Hollykit. For a few moments he's locked in thought, thinking about his-no Leafpool and Crowfeather's kits. But then the voice interrupts his thoughts once again: Darkness, air, water and sky will come together and shake the forest to its roots...the same voice booms though this time a bit quieter. The tom frowns lifting his head to face the darkening sky, "We can't possibly be having to leave the lake territories!" he yowls to no one in particular but to his surprise from the sky three starry figures spiral towards him. Landing just a tail length in front of the brown tabby warrior,

"No Bramblestar. We won't have to leave again," the first a starry orange tom with bright green eyes promises a flicker of amusement flashing in his eyes before they turn serious again.

"Then why-?" Bramblestar starts, a small gray she-cat with beautiful round blue eyes cuts him off her tail twitching in a annoyance.

"We were simply reminding you of your past...all of your struggles..." she murmurs. Bramblestar digs his claws into the ground anger flooding through him as he glares at the former medicine cat.

"Cinderpelt you'd never have to remind me! These prophecies have shaped my life! I have never forgotten a single one of them, not for a heart beat! Not even Firestar's..." he trails off turning towards Firestar. "Fire will save the Clan," he murmurs. Firestar nods, not replying but his gaze bores into Bramblestar, making ThunderClan's new leader feel like a scolded kit. The final starry warrior, a golden she-cat who has been staring at Bramblestar with love and affection clears her voice.

"My son, we know you would never forget any of these prophecies but you must listen." she murmurs her gazing turning to Firestar expectantly. Firestar nods,

"Goldenflower is right. The reason we decided to show you all of these is because, of the last one. The prophecy you just told me," he mumbles.

"Fire will save the Clan..." Bramblestar murmurs quietly his voice carrying on the wind. Both Cinderpelt and Goldenflower bow their heads grief glimmering in their eyes. Firestar just sighs padding over to his former apprentice, deputy and now ThunderClan's leader.

"Walk with me," he meows, Bramblestar stares after his former mentor as Firestar starts for the stream. He turns back realizing Bramblestar isn't following. "Well are you coming or not?" he asks his voice a bit brighter. Bramblestar nods, hurrying to catch up with the orange tom.

They don't speak until they reach the stream, Bramblestar sighs with relief when he gazes into it and sees not scarlet but blue flickering water.

"Who was this prophecy about?" Firestar asks slowly, Bramblestar flicks his ears.

"That's easy! You!" he exclaims, Firestar paws up a bit of dirt a frown beginning to form on his face. Eventually he sighs,

"No Bramblestar. Not me, Bluestar." he mumbles. Its Bramblestar's turn to frown, he stares at his leader in awe before replying.

"How is that possible? Bluestar is...well blue and you...your fire and the prophecy clearly states that FIRE will save the Clan." Bramblestar presses, Firestar's whiskers twitch in amusement and he paws at the stream. Bramblestar looks down expecting to see small ripples in the water, he jumps in surprise as the clear image of a blueish gray she-cat fills the water. The small cat is tussling with a white she-cat who looks exactly the same age, "Bluestar?" Bramblestar breaths half expecting ThunderClan's former leader to pounce from the water and scold him for not realizing her at first sight.

"Bluestar?" Firestar repeats, adding. "No, Bluekit" Bramblestar can't help but smile as he gazes down at Bluestar's younger self. Though he's known Bluestar was once a kit like every cat he can't help but smile as he images ThunderClan's noble leader batting a moss-ball.

"Who's the white cat?" he questions,

"That's Bluestar's sister. Snowfur, she died before you were born," Firestar explains, Bramblestar opens his mouth to ask how but as though reading his thoughts Firestar adds. "Thunder-path accident," Bramblestar twitches his tail but doesn't reply.

"So since you seem to think Bluestar was somehow fire-" Bramblestar starts,

"I don't think I know." Firestar interrupts, Bramblestar sighs in defeat before continuing.

"So how exactly was Bluestar fire?" Bramblestar pesters. Firestar paws the pool again, this time an old speckled gray tom appears in the water making Bramblestar's fur tingle.

"Who's he?" Bramblestar asks just slightly afraid of the grumpy looking tom with pale blue eyes, Firestar snorts slightly amused.

"Goosefeather," he explains. Bramblestar cocks his head to one side confused, Firestar continues: "When Bluestar was just an apprentice, he was given an prophecy from StarClan. In it StarClan told Bluestar-Bluepaw then that she was fire and only water could kill her." he explains,

"The gorge!" Bramblestar blurts. Firestar sighs,

"Yes in the end water really did kill her...but..." the orange toms voice turns from sad to serious. "But she had me, I was able to be fire and blaze through the forest but now-" he trails off. Bramblestar straightens,

"We need fire!" he exclaims, adding. "But I can't be fire...can I?" his voice drops to a whisper. Firestar sighs, '

"You are tiger but if you form with another together you can be fire. Together you can blaze through the forest and save the four Clans." he mumbles. The image of a ginger she-cat with a single white paw and bright green eyes flashes in Bramblestar's mind. His deputy, his mate, his best friend.

"Squirrelflight," he meows. Firestar nods,

"Exactly, Bramblestar and now..." he trails off flicking his tail. Cinderpelt and Goldenflower appear beside them, Cinderpelt nods to Bramblestar before turning to Firestar.

"Goldenflower and I will be going now," she meows. Shock flashes in Firestar's eyes,

"But, but, then I have to tell him alone?!" the orange tom exclaims, Cinderpelt slowly smiles her blue eyes glittering with longing.

"You saved the Clans, I'm pretty sure you can do this simple task!" she jokes before vanishing, Goldenflower licks her sons cheek.

"Do well my little one," she murmurs before also disappearing. Bramblestar turns back to Firestar,

"What did they mean abo-?" Bramblestar starts. Firestar flicks his tail cutting him off,

"Fire has fallen, two have risen. From the shadow of their deaths, they have been given a second chance...You will find them where the wolf howls and the leopard snarls. They will be alone, and just barely alive. But the only way for them to get their second chance is for you to save them. The fate of the Clans rests in your paws, good luck Tiger and may Fire save the Clans once again."

Did you like the prologue? Was it long enough? lol! I thought it was pretty long! What did you think of the prophecy? Please review and I'm going to give you a question to answer today, though I might not every chapter anyway...

Question: What do you think of Bramble/Squirrel? Are you more of a Squirrel/Ash fan?

I'm defiantly Bramble/Squirrel!
