Warriors: Beyond the Stars
Prologue
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJayfeather padded through StarClan, his joy weighed down by the destruction he sees in the eternal greenleaf forest.
Branches lay on the ground, spattered with blood and claw marks. Warriors limped past him, giving a brief nod before disappearing into the shrubbery.
Jayfeather halts, scenting a familar cat. He follows the stench into a clearing. Sitting on a rock, licking her wounds, was Yellowfang.
Yellowfang jumps off the stone, wincing slightly.
"Greetings, Jayfeather. You have saved the Clans. Yes we lost great warriors, but our legacy lives on." she rasped.
Jayfeather dipped his head. "I know I should be happy, but something isn't quite... right. Why?"
Yellowfang twitched her tail. "I'm not the one to tell you. Go see Firestar."
Jayfeather walked past the old cat. "Thank you."
He found Firestar stalking a squirrel.
"Mouse dung!" Firestar spat as the squirrel escaped his claws.
Jayfeather cleared his throat. Firestar turned around.
"Hello, Jayfeather." he bounded over to his grandson.
"Yellowfang said you wanted to tell me something." Jayfeather deadpanned.
Firestar's bright green eyes darkened. "I'm afraid that you, Lionblaze, Dovewing, and Ivypool haven't completed your destinies yet."
Jayfeather's jaw dropped. "There's more?"
Firestar's mouth twisted into a small, wry grin. "Yes. And this time, you're probably going to get an apprentice. Listen closely, six cats will arrive in ThunderClan and their spirits will defeat a monster no cat has ever seen before."
Jayfeather was taken aback. "What do you mean by their spirits?"
Firestar paused. "I can't tell you."
"What?" Jayfeather felt himself being shook. No, not now!
"Welcome them into the Clan, Jayfeather. I will make sure Bramblestar knows." Firestar called, his voice becoming incresingly distant.
Suddenly, everything went black.
