Hollowed Shadows- Rise of the flame book two

Prologue

A flame-colored she-cat strode through the starry forest, hurrying to StarClan's version of the Moonpool. Two grey she-cats waited at the pool, as well as a white she-cat. "Sunsetblaze, you have finally come." The white cat greeted. "Trouble is coming. "

"Don't you think I know that?" Sunsetblaze snapped. "Yellowfang, didn't you ask for my help in creating a prophecy?' Yellowfang nodded.

"Where is the frost that will save us all? Where are the thistles and the lion?" the other grey cat asked.

"Patience, Cinderpelt. " The white cat soothed.

"I have had patience since the Harborer attacked, Whiteheart!" Cinderpelt snapped. "If we dont do anything, the Clans will be destroyed! "

Whiteheart flattened her ears. "What are we supposed to do? We don't know who this frost is! We can't alert them."

Yellowfang lashed her tail. "Of course not, you impudent mouse! All we can do is prepare the Clans for this. We need to chose four from ThunderClan. All we know is that ThunderClan will be the first affected by this shadow, so we need to stop the problem at the source. Let's choose four. One cat each." Whiteheart considered the idea.

" Fine. Me first. " Whiteheart approached the pool and tapped the water. Ripples revealed the picture of a red cat, one with a white stripe over his ear and a white-tipped tail.

Cinderpelt laughed. "That one, Whiteheart? You never cease to surprise me."

" Yes, this one. He is meant to be leader one day. " insisted the white she-cat.

"Fine, fine. Confirmed Cinderpelt. She walked up to the pool, tapping the water with a claw. A she-cat, stripes up and down her body, showed it's image in the water.

" Are you sure? " asked Yellowfang. "That one is an apprentice."

" Never forget Crowfeather and Squirrelflight. They found the sun-drown place as apprentices. If two apprentices can walk StarClan knows how far, this one can help save the Clans. "She insisted.

Yellowfang approached the water. After ripples spread across the water, Whiteheart jumped in surprise. "I understand one apprentice with this task, but two?" She asked. CInderpelt gave her a look, so she nodded. Sunsetblaze approached the pool as well. The picture changed to that of a tiny kit.

"A kit, Sunsetblaze? This one can't even hear" " asked Cinderpelt in disbelief.

"I have given this one a way to live as a warrior. " Sunsetblaze insisted.

"What is that, Sunsetblaze?" Growled Yellowfang.

Sunsetblaze grinned. "She has sensitive paws."

" What? "
"Let me explain. When sounds are made, vibrations travel through the air. She has very sensitive fur and skin, so she can sense and read these vibrations. She will be able to more or less hear."

Whiteheart nodded "Very well. Walk in their dreams tonight, friends. And may we light your path."
