Warriors: Nine-TailsSpirit's Rise

Prologue

(This story is dedicated to all my friends in the RP who have helped me and have given me a reason to want to RP even more! Dawnflower101, Starlingstar, Animeangel45, Is_karl_dusachtach, TehEpicMew, SundaySmoothie and CatAteMyHomework! Go check out the RP and them! They're awesome people!)

(Just for your information guys, the italics mean the cat is talking to themselves, or if in a sentence with the italics by itself, it means the cat is saying that to make it stand out like this; "I'm not the mouse-brain, you're the mouse-brain." And the bold means they're sorta like narrating, but not in the actual thing, just added it to give the story a good effect, and finally, the underline is for the characters who are newly introduced and have not been seen yet. Also, I will always put a quote or something related to the main story. Whether it it's from later on or from the RP that we're doing now)

"Watch out!" Yowls of fear rose from the forest as screeches sounded. Heavy paw steps trampled the earth as a huge roar made the trees shake as if they were being thrown into a heavy storm. Suddenly, battle cries could be heard as the screeching cats turned into fighting cats, snarling in fury as some hissed and some growled. A clearing could be seen as bushes surrounded a hollow that carried the battling cats, wind roared through the trees as the trees parted way when a black tom stood face-to-face with a Four-Tailed beast. The beast was a dark red color as its face was a dark, menacing black, only its pure white eyes shown in the darkness of its face as its jagged teeth grew open more and more. The black tom facing this beast had five elemental shards around his stomach, each with their own symbol and color as his icy blue eyes stared into the empty white sockets of the beast. Its head then shot upwards as a roar rumbled in its throat, echoing through the forest and sending the trees nearest to it flying as the earth fell and soon, a crater formed beneath the creature. The black tom flinched back and tried to hold his position as he grinned. "Yes!" He meowed as he watched the beast roar. The Four-Tailed beast then faced him as it disappeared for a moment before reappearing behind the black tom. He didn't even know and as the Four-Tailed beast stretched its claw backwards to strike him, an evil smirk was wiped on its face as it smiled rather insanely. But the moment it struck the black tom, the vision flashed away and everything became clear. It was a dream from a few moons back.

As the sun's light filtered in from the top of the den, a dark figure could be seen rising from its nest. The figure then trotted out of the nest and soon, was bathed in the light of the dawn. A ginger-red she-cat stood at the entrance of the den, her distinctive black marking around her eyes and up to her inner ears was unmistakable, along with her fake whisker marks across her cheeks. Although those were distinctive, nothing was more recognizable than the sky blue eyes that reflected the stars she held. She lifted her head as she stretched her stiff limbs, letting out a yawn as her pure white fangs showed, her claws were too the same pure white color as she unsheathed them while she stretched. After stretching, she lifted her head as her gaze flowed across the camp, the dawn's bright light hitting her ginger-red pelt as it turned to a blazing fire color. I'm Nine-Tailspaw. I'm an apprentice of ElementClan, a Clan full of cats who hold much power within their hearts, all of their powers and elements are unique, different from the rest. Nine-Tailspaw was then greeted with two cats, one was a light gray tabby she-cat with big, bright blue eyes that reflected the sky, and the second one was another light gray tabby but a tom with a white muzzle, feet and tail and somewhat the same bright blue eyes. The two seemed identical if compared side-by-side but the only thing that different the two was that the tom had white markings. Nine-Tailspaw greeted the two with a smile. This is Skypaw, the she-cat, and the tom is Moonpaw. They're my best of friends and I hope it can stay that way. Nine-Tailspaw was then thrown over by Moonpaw as the two giggled and laughed, Skypaw wagged her tail in the air and soon, joined in as the three apprentice wrestled in the dust. The three apprentices soon relaxed after their wrestle as they sat beside each other. "So, what have you been up to, Nine-Tailspaw?" Moonpaw asked as Skypaw stretched. Nine-Tailspaw gazed at him before switching her gaze to the milky orange sky. "Nothing much really, just training with Falconstrike. What about you two?" Nine-Tailspaw said as Skypaw instantly jumped as if she were waiting for her to ask. "My mentor is creepy, she's quite scary too!" Skypaw whispered as Nine-Tailspaw glanced at the entrance where Skypaw's mentor stood, she was guarding camp and her dark pelt made her almost invisible. HiddenAmbition is one of the best warriors in ElementClan, although some cats doubt her loyalty and her decisions, if it were up to skill, HiddenAmbition would be the perfect cat. Her powers are very unique from any other cat's, she's able to predict the future and she can even read a cat's mind but they have to be in earshot in order for that to happen so thank StarClan that we're far enough from her! She can even feel other cat's pain! She is an amazing warrior but her mentorship of Skypaw is quite weird and odd. Nine-Tailspaw returned her blue gaze to Skypaw. "She seems fine to me." She said to her as Moonpaw chuckled. "Maybe she'll have your pelt as bedding and maybe she'll even eat you for her dinner!" Moonpaw joked as he smirked, his sister then let out a growl before pouncing on her brother. "Shut you muzzle!" Skypaw said as the two started wrestling once more. Nine-Tailspaw smiled and giggled, she then turned her gaze to the tom at the base of the large rock. That's Winterstar, he's the leader of our Clan, ElementClan. He didn't become leader not too long ago, he was the great deputy to previous leader Blazingstar. Nine-Tailspaw gazed down at her paws. He became leader rather earlier since ElementClan was attacked by some DeadClan cats who captured me. One of the warriors was even a former ElementClan warrior, Gingerfang. He's the brother to my mentor, Falconstrike. Gingerfang turned on his Clanmates after he saw that they were weak and soon, went to the other Clan, DeadClan. Gingerfang's powers are like my mentor's, he can make cat's go insane, show a cat's true fears and all that. Gingerfang made Blazingstar lose her memory, and she couldn't recover. Winterstar told me that Blazingstar tried a few times to remember but it only resulted in her hurting herself as Gingerfang's powers always wiped out the memories. Winterstar and Dazedbird, our medicine cat, decided that to end her suffering. My mentor was reluctant to end Blazingstar's life, but Dazedbird made him understand that it was the only way. Nine-Tailspaw shuffled her paws, remembering when Winterstar first told her, sadness poured into her heart as her blue eyes were filled with sorrow and grief. Though Falconstrike gave Dazedbird a scar that's still there now, she forgives him and understands why he'd be angry. Blazingstar was a Clan leader who saw potential in every cat and who would rather settle things with words than with tooth and claw. This type of leader was rare and Falconstrike almost seemed to look up to her. Dazedbird gave Blazingstar some deadly nightshade to end her suffering quickly, knowing it was the best thing to do, better than letting her live a life she doesn't even want. She only had about four lives left so it went by fast, Winterfrost then became Winterstar. Nine-Tailspaw pricked her ears, noticing that she didn't hear the sound of wrestling. She turned around and didn't see Skypaw or Moonpaw. "Nine-Tailspaw!" A voice made her snap back to reality as she gazed over. Her mentor, Falconstrike stood in the center of camp, he was calling her over as she glanced around, noticing that Skypaw and Moonpaw were talking to Blackcold, Moonpaw's mentor. "What is it, Falconstrike?" She asked, padding over quickly to the golden tom. We may live among the warrior code and among our Clans, but there are always going to be lurking shadows nearby. I should know the best about that since I'm his target. She then remembered the dream she had and her focus was disturbed. That incident happened just about four moons back.
