Guardians: The Beginning

Prologue

Flamemoon looked up as someone entered his den parting the curtain of leaves in front of the entrance. The light from the full moon outside made Flamestar's orange fur flicker like a flame. Flamestar saw the wolf entering his den and sighed, "Is something wrong, Lightningheart?" The pale wolf nodded and gestured with his head for Flamestar to follow him outside. Flamestar got up and looked down at his mate, Cloversplash, who was sleeping peacefully. He licked her once on the cheek then followed Lightningheart outside of camp and to a boulder just beyond Oakbridge. "What is it Lightningheart? Is everything alright?" Flamestar asked anxiously.

The young medicine wolf who was usually full of energy was standing as still as a statue and gazing up at the stars. Without looking back the pale wolf replied, "Starpack has sent me a prophecy. There will be three kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws, they will be the ones who defeat the great darkness and unite the separation. They told me to tell it to you. Which means your kin are the ones in the prophecy. Cloversplash is expecting your pups, Flamestar. It is beginning." Flamestar stood still, shocked by the news and trying to process it.

"I-I don't know what to do. Should I tell Cloversplash?"

Lightningheart finally looked down from the stars and turned to Flamestar. "I personally think you should. Snowstep and Sunflower already know. There is, however, one more thing. I've seen my death, it's pretty soon and I don't have enough time to train an apprentice. I am going to give Sunflower as much training as I can. I trust the pack's health to her."

Flamestar didn't have words to express his sorrow. He knew his sisters, Snowstep and Sunflower, were sad too.He and Lightningheart were kin, brothers even, so he was incredibly saddened by this news. So once Lightningheart turned back to camp all Flamestar could do was follow. Before Lightningheart entered his den he turned around and said one last thing,

"Ice, Lily, and Amber. Wolves destined to beat back the darkness. A storm of Ice, a splash of Lily and an Amber flower. Kin of the Sun, the Fern, the Clover, and the Flame. With powers no wolf could have dreamed. Don't worry Flamestar, Earthpack is safe." Soon after Cloversplash had two pups, a she wolf and a brute. They were named Sunstorm and Fernwing. Sunstorm went on to be the father of Icestorm and Lilysplash. While Fernwing went on to give birth to Amberflower.
