    The moon was high in the sky, shining a bright light down upon the starry cats. Lilac stood in the middle of the ferny clearing. Looking at the ancient paw prints and stars in their path. A pretty white she-cat with light blue eyes appeared through the trees.

"Welcome Lilacheart. Starclan has been awaiting you."

The she-cats voice was silky, like mist or like a breeze, filled with promises and secrets.

Lilac tilted her head, approaching the she-cat.

"What do you mean?" Her voice echoed as if she was in a cavern.

The she-cat smiled and Lilac walked right through her.

"Are you even alive?"

The cat gently pushed a pile of leaves and berries toward her.

"The Shadows will call you
Into their depths
But the light will call you
Into the stars
Which path will you take
And the choices you make
Will affect your future"

With that the she-cat started to fade, her white pelt becoming clear.

"Wait! Who are you?"

The she-cat smiled, her starry fur glowing like the sun.

"We, are Starclan."

-----------------------------------------

Wake up!" A cat yowled.

Lilac forced her eyes open to see a brown tabby she-cat staring down at her.

Her Amber eyes were full of curiosity and wonder, also a bit of fear.

Groaning, Lilac pushed herself to her feet.

"I'm up, I'm up."

Lilac nudged Lightning awake, nipping her very gently.

Lightning instantly sprang to her feet, alert and excited. "I'm ready for this!!"

Then Lightning bolted out of the den, fur streaming behind her.

Lilac shut her eyes for a moment and saw a flash of light, and white fur.

White fur! The she-cat!

Lilac sat up quickly and tried to remember what she had said.

"Starclan." Lilac muttered, thinking.

"What was that?" The brown tabby asked.

"Oh! Sorry! Just thinking."

The she-cat nodded and poked her.
"I am Darlingfur, your mentor for the moon you are in Windclan."

Lightning poked her head inside the den, "Who's my mentor? I must know!"

Darlingfur laughed and licked Lightning's ear.

"I think it's Ratfur."

Lightning's eyes widened, and her fur bushed up.

"Ratfur? Isn't he like the meanest cat in Windclan?"

Darlingfur laughed again and gently nipped Lightning's nose.

"Shhh! Don't say that, kit! Hush!"
