Light in the Dark

Book four of the Frost and Sun series

Prologue-Flameheart
Mysticheart took light pawsteps as she ran through the color-filled forest around her. She smiled, Oak had helped her master the way of the trees and forests, now, she could help Frostclan.

She could help Brackenpaw. Mysticheart ran into the forest, Dawnsky sat beside Brightmist, trying to calm her. Mystichert flattened her ears.

Her kits are coming! Her once gentle and calm world quickly turned to panic and realization, she snapped out of her little world.

"I'll get Junipiercloud and Snowpelt!" She darted off without waiting for an answer, Mysticheart busrt intot he Frostclan camp, making every cat jump in alarm.

"Brightmist kits are coming!" Icestones ears pricked, and he darted out of camp. Junipiercloud and Snowpelt following not far behind. Crowwing got up to follow.

"Brightmist will need comfort from other queens, Snowstorm?" Snowstorm gave a calm nod, before the two went out of camp. Myticheart herself left the camp, but didn't go to here Brightmist was kitting. She was going to visit Brackenpaw in the "Heartclan camp". Mysticheart let out a purr at the thought, maybe, maybe she could convince Brackenpaw to come back to clan life? She sat down near the gorge and waited, she waited till' around moon-rise. Nothing.

Mysticheart sighed, and got up, maybe a small walk would help. Perhaps she would run into Brackenpaw on the way? She hoped she would. Brackenpaw was her best friend, he trusted her unlike Swiftwind, he's not stubborn like Dawnsky, he's not evil like her parents, and he doesn't judge her for how her family is. She looked around for awhile.

From the forests, going to two-leg place and looking through a small grassland, Mysticheart was about to turn back and head back to Frostclan territory, until she saw Brackenpaw, just...not how she wanted to see him!

"Brackenpaw! No! No! No!" Mysticheart darted over to the limp ginger form of Brackenpaw on the Thunderpath, she dragged him off and collasped beside him. Her best friend was gone! She trembled as memories of the Heartclan games and the times of hunting with him came flooding back to her.

''Heartclan....yes, I'll continue Heartclan in your honor, Brackenpaw. I am Mysticstar, I am the leader of Heartclan!''
