Prologue

❧

'''A pale ginger she-cat sat by the edge of a sparkling blue pool, gazing sadly down at its water. Though the pool should have reflected her form, it was clear and shining. A soft breeze blew through the air, but the she-cat didn’t seem to notice. Her pelt glimmered brightly with starshine as she frowned down at the water.'''

'''“Dappleflame?” A soft voice spoke. A silver tabby was now standing behind the she-cat, her blue eyes blazing mysteriously in the moonlight.'''

'''“She’s joining us,” the ginger she-cat, Dappleflame, murmured. “She is dying, Frostnose.”'''

Frostnose padded forward and sat beside her friend.

'''Now swirling in the water was a blurry image of a cream-furred queen and her two young kits. Another cat, a pure white she-cat, was crouched over one of the kits, nuzzling her lightly.'''

“Morningblaze, what’s wrong?” The queen asked, her voice quivering anxiously.

'''Morningblaze stayed silent for several painstaking moments. “I’m so sorry, Shellfoot,” she whispered at last. “Russetkit is gone.”'''

'''Shellfoot wailed mournfully. She crouched by the thin, cold body, nuzzling her lost kit for the last time. The other kit let out a mewl of protest as he was pushed to the side, out of the mossy nest. He shivered against the dirt ground, crying for his mother, but she ignored him.'''

'''Back by the edge of the sparkling pool, Dappleflame and Frostnose watched sadly as a small, shimmering form appeared at their paws. The kit looked up at them, blinking.'''

'''“My daughter’s kit,” Dappleflame managed a small purr as she wrapped her tail around the fragile creature. “Welcome to StarClan, Russetkit.”'''

'''“What of Lynxkit?” Frostnose asked hesitantly. “Surely Shellfoot cannot care for him properly in her state of grief.”'''
