Prologue
"Get away from my kit, Riverlap!" Sunheart hisses, in the nursery tunnel, "You're not taking him back to the oasis!"

"Well too bad!" Riverlap pounces on Sunheart and scratches her muzzle. Sunheart forces Riverlap off with her hindlegs, claws unsheathed, clawing Riverlap's body as she pushes her off. Riverlap hisses and pounces again. Sunheart crouches, making Riverlap miss, and pounces on Riverlap, fiercely clawing her throat.

Sunheart hears OasisClan's Follower, Lakescratch, yelp, "retreat!"

Riverlap pushes Sunheart off and hisses, "You were lucky!" Riverlap runs, but then turns her head around to glare at Sunheart. "OasisClan will be surviving by your kit's prophecy, not DesertClan! You're lucky only me and Skyswan only know bout the prophecy! I WILL steal that kit someday!"

"No you won't!" Sunheart meows, defending her kit. "Terrakit will lead OUR clan to safety!"

"Well you watch and see!" Riverlap spat as she bolted away.

Sunheart licked Terrakit's pelt. "Don't worry little one, you are safe with DesertClan...and you will save us someday..."

Cactusriver runs into the nursery-tunnel, nose and flank bleeding. "I-Is Terrakit ok?" he pants.

"Our little future-savior is fine," Sunheart meows.

"Lets go to Oasisden's tunnel and get some cacti-skin put on our scratches. "

"Do you mind if you go alone, and take some back for me?" Sunheart looks up into Cactusriver's eyes, pleading. "I am not leaving Terrakit. It is too dangerous."

Cactusriver widens his eyes in surprise, and Sunheart notices and asks, "What?"

"Look!" Cactusriver said, pointing at Terrakit. "He opened his eyes! His eyes are bright blue!"

Sunheart looked at Terrakit. "Oh my goodness! What beautiful eyes!" Sunheart touched noses with Terrakit.

"Sunheart," Terrakit mews, "what did she mean by prophecy..? And me leading our clan to safety..?"

"Don't worry about it, my precious kit," Sunheart purrs, licking Terrakit between the ears. "You will find out in due time."
