Shining Star





Prologue
The small bronze tabby sat on the island. Her fur was dim and milky in the moonlight. The star above her was the brightest in the sky; and she would find out why. A dark gray tom padded out of the trees and padded over to her place on the gathering island. “Hello again, Rainbowflight,” he purred.

“Hi, Darkhawk,” Rainbowflight nuzzled her mate. “I wonder if there’s any reason why that specific star is so bright.”

“Everyone has been saying that in SnowClan camp; maybe one of your warriors joined StarClan.”

Rainbowflight shook her head. “No one has died recently in ThunderClan.” She chuckled.

“Remember when we were apprentices and we used to hate each other, yet we still helped each other anyway?” she meowed. Darkhawk meowed with laughter.

“But our romance isn’t the issue now, it’s the star in the sky. Maybe there is something going on in StarClan.”

Rainbowflight nodded, rising to her paws. “I have to go now.” Darkhawk frowned a bit, then nuzzled her. “I’ll miss you.” “Miss you too.”

The ebony sky was immediately polished with red and gold as the sun rose.
