The Grand Journey

Let There Be Light

It has been almost two months since the encounter of the humans, Riverclan and Windclan has been on high alert. From what the patrols have gathered, the humans have been staying at their spot for a few days time before disappearing. Windclan claims they have seen small monsters take off towards the thunderpath, while there were the massive ones that runs pass the bridge that runs over the ravine. Riverclan have had many close encounters of the humans finding their clan camp, using distractions to pull them away from their home. Usually this lead to them throwing sticks or leading the human children by having them chase cats. Who knows what may happen next...

"Fire," a clan cat yowled throughout the clan camp. "Fire!"

Snowstar quickly ran out of her den to see the smoke in the near distance, cats scrambling out of their nesting to flee from such state. Trees were being swallowed from all around them, creatures trying to flee from their doom. It was just like her dream, flames as tall as trees, the night sky pitch black like a void. Shaking her head the leader raised her head as her voice boomed out loud. "Riverclan! Flee towards the Thunderpath! Warriors aid the elders, queens, and kittens to safety.'' Quickly the white feline leaped over towards the medicine cat den, seeing it completely empty. She had hoped to Starclan that Coldstone and Bluepaw were safe.

Yowls of panic and pain echoed through the forest, knowing Riverclan was not the only clan in horror. Not far from their clan entrance that bordered the river was Thunderclan cats. Biting down onto her lip, Snowstar went to investigate the situation at the river. Some of her warriors were helping cats cross, while a certain figure caught her attention, Coldstone. He held a cat to his side with visible burns to one of their legs, with her medicine cat having a few burn patches on him.

"Coldstone," Snowstar called out. Coldstone picked up his head to see his leader across the river. "Snowstar!" Relief came over her as the other was fine, her closest friend was okay. As if Starclan was punishing her, a crack sounded and a burning tree started to fall on the cats on the opposite side of the bank. "Coldstone! Watch out!"

The tom cat glanced up to the sky to see the falling tree, knowing he could not escape what was about to happen. Looking over towards his leader all he could was smile towards her. All Snowstar could think about was their friendship, the one feline she would rely on to tell her fears, her sadness, her everything. A large crash echoed in the burning forest, cats wailing for their lost ones while many yowling from the sudden surprise behind them as they swam.

Snowstar could not do anything, all she could was watch as her friend met his end to the fallen tree. Time stood still for her as she just sat there in horror. Why would Starclan do this to them? What has the cats done to anger the ancestors so much? She gazed at the sky in hopes to see some sparkling stars but there was not. It was pitch black, nothing but smoke filled the air.

Starclan was gone.
