A war in Starclan

Prologue

The air was still, and the only noise was the rustle of grass, and the dripping water into the shining silver pool.  The light gray she-cat gingerly dipped her paw into the clear water, and watched thoughtfully as the ripples spread along the surface. Without seeing the dark brown tom standing behind her, she turned around, and, startled by the other cats presence, jumped backward into the pool, ruining the peaceful feeling of the cave. "Honestly Silverstorm." The other cat meowed calmly. "If you weren't so busy staring into nothingness, you would've heard me approach." The she-cat climbed out of the water, shook her self, and licked her chest fur, embarassed. "Sorry, Darkstar. I was thinking." Darkstar tilted his head, and moved closer, brushing past a patch of hanging lichen in doing so.  "Is there something you wish to tell me? Have you had another vision?" Silver storm nodded reluctantly. Being the medicine cat, it was her job to see into the future, and warn the other four clans of any danger to come. "It was really confusing, and the words didn't seem dangerous, nothing like the prophecy of blood will spill blood, and all of that, but I had a feeling what it prophesied, would be much worse." The thunderclan leader interrupted her before she could say anything else. "The reason I am here, is because we're having a meeting. You can share it with us then. I want the entire of Star clan to hear what this is." Silverstorm nodded, and they walked out of the cave together.

 As they turned, and walked into yet another cavern,  The cats could hear the hushed meows and hisses from others. The space suddenly became wider, and they walked into an area filled with thousands of felines. As she walked, the medicine cat spotted many familiar faces, some old, some new. Some going back to the time of tigerstar. She saw firestar, and sandstorm, she saw yellowfang and russetfur. She saw tallstar and crowfeather. Even feather tail and bluestar. Among them were also cats that had joined their ranks more recently. Ashfeather, and Snowstar, the former leader and deputy of ShadowClan. There were also cats like reedclaw of riverclan and hawkheart of wind clan.  In the center stood 10 of the most recent leaders, deputies, and medicine cats. Darkstar and Silverstorm joined them, and the former thunderclan leader silenced the cats around them with a yowl.

"As you all know," Darkstar began,  "Mudclaw has been found amongst us, and was banished back to the dark forest." Nervous whispers broke out among the group. Darkstar silenced them with an annoyed flick of his tail. "We do not know how he got here, nor do we know how we didn't notice him sooner. We think there might be more, and poppy seed has a suspicion of how he disguised himself." A light orange tabby she cat, the former medicine cat of wind clan, stepped forward. "I believe that cats from the dark forest, are capturing cats of Star clan and somehow manipulating their looks to replace them. I don't know how yet, and it's just a guess, but there seems to be no other logical explanation, and we will find the fakes. The reason I believe this, is because, since we got rid of mudclaw, there has been no sign of greystripe, and cats say he was acting unlike himself, grumpy and annoyed at being called a thunder clan cat, easily irritated. Then he dissapered as soon as we discovered mudclaw, and sent him back to where he belongs." Cats in the crowd looked at each other suspiciously, as if wondering if their freinds were hawk frost, of tigerstar in disguise. 

A bright red tom cat stood up, a distressed look on his face. "Have any of you had any visions?" It was firestar, the famous thunderclan leader, born into kittypet life. Greystripe had been his best friend, and silverstorm could feel his pain in loosing someone he cared about. Greystripe had disappeared before, when they were alive, in thunderclan, when firestar was still leader, and greystripe was deputy. He had been taken by twolegs, and turned into a kittypet for a couple moons, before making the long journey back to his clan, with another kittypet, Mellie. Poppyseed looked around at the other 11  cats, and 10 of them shook their head. Siverstorm, however took a step forward to address the clan. "I had a vision." She admitted. Firestar sat down, listening. The room was completely silent now that she had their attention.

"It was dark." Silverstorm began. "I could hear cats fighting in the distance, and when I tried racing towards it, I was blinded by a brilliant light. I let my eyes readjust, and standing before me was a cat, no older than 7 moons, an apprentice. He was frozen in running position, pointed to the sound of cats in battle." Silver storm took a shaky breath. "I heard a voice, and at first, I didn't know what it was saying, only that it was repeating something. It grew louder, until I could finally make out the words." Silverstorm prepaired herself to be attacked with questions, confused cats wanting answers. Slowly, she spoke the words she heard in her vision. "Wild and free, life will help death, saving the forest, and all the clans in it."
