Warriors: Apollo's Choice

Prolouge

Rustle. The sound seemed to echo through out the area. Stonestar stood up from his laying position and looked around. The area was like the forest, but it was more lush, more healthy than the forest at home. The tom looked around confused, his pale blue eyes darted everywhere.

Then from the darkness came out a brown cat, but this cat looked starry and almost see-through. Stonestar let out a sigh of relief, his puffed up fur eased back to his skin.

"It's been a while, Duststar." Stonestar spoke up, bowing his head slightly.

"It has been... but I haven't come here for a friendly meeting." Duststar responded, his hazel eyes shone with fear and stress.

Stonestar tipped his head to the side. "What's the matter?" He asked, suddenly growing fearful himself.

"There are dark times headed towards the clans... and the clans will suffer..." Duststar said, his voice scared.

Stonestar's eyes widened. "Dark times?" He asked fearfully, the fear of loosing his clan over coming his mind.

"But there is hope..." Duststar whispered. "On a half moon night, a Great Warrior shall come, but beware. If this warrior is to be consumed by darkness, all hope is lost." He added and with that he dissapeared.

The air suddenly grew heavy and Stonestar could feel as if blood was rising from the ground. The wind blew harder and he could hear yowls of pain and shrieks of terror from all around him. He looked around until he found he had no option but to dive into the thick blood...

Stonestar woke up with a jolt, his icy eyes darted around his den. The tom let out a shaky breath and stood up, shaking off the horrible feeling of the dream. He peeked out of the hole in his den that was in a chesnut tree, then climbed down of the tree. He trotted towards the large rock by the edge of camp and jumped on.

He took a deep breath and sunk in to the sounds of the forest. Crickets chirping, rustle of the leaves in the wind, the hooting of owls. His train of thought was stopped when he heard light footsteps headed in his direction. Stonestar turned around and his eyes landed on the Medicine Cat of his clan, Suneyes. The grey tabby she-cat gracefully trotted towards Stonestar and sat next to him.

"Can't sleep?" Suneyes asked, her gentle voice quivered with worry.

"No... I had a dream." Stonestar said as he looked up to the starry sky.

"Did it involve, Duststar?" The she-cat asked.

"Yes... Did you have it too?" Stonestar said as he looked down at Suneyes again.

The she-cat nodded. "I wonder who this Great Warrior is..." She mumbled.

Stonestar closed his eyes, looked back up at the sky and opened his eyes. "I do too..."
