Dove's Ivy

Two kits,

Never closer,

Who's paths began to draw apart.

Little did they dream of the great destiny,

Laid out by the stars.

The dove was told about the power

''That she carried within her. ''

The responsibilites dragged her down,

It was hard to fly.

She heard the clacking teeth of the beavers,

Heard the furious roar of restrained water,

And led chosen warriors to bring water back to the Clans.

And all this while, the ivy was pushed back,

Left in the shade to grow.

Whatever she did,

''Her sister did much more. ''

<p style="text-align:center;">The darkness of her thoughts brought evil,

<p style="text-align:center;">Evil who turned her mind towards them,

<p style="text-align:center;">Within her they sowed seeds,

<p style="text-align:center;">Seeds that would destory the Clans.

<p style="text-align:center;">Dovepaw returned,

<p style="text-align:center;">A hero,

<p style="text-align:center;">Leaving her sister in great jealousy.

<p style="text-align:center;">Little did they realize 

<p style="text-align:center;">That the poisons of envy

<p style="text-align:center;">''Were sprining amongst them. ''

<p style="text-align:center;">Both sisters fought,

<p style="text-align:center;">Turned tail and fled,

<p style="text-align:center;">The dove found comfort in the marshes of ShadowClan,

<p style="text-align:center;">While her sister turned to the darkness of her dreams.

<p style="text-align:center;">A fateful encounter on the border one night,

<p style="text-align:center;">Left the ivy trapped in the pines of ShadowClan.

<p style="text-align:center;">She was returned, for a price,

<p style="text-align:center;">A precious plant.

<p style="text-align:center;">When Dovepaw showed Ivypaw the power she had,

<p style="text-align:center;">And Jayfeather walked in her dreams,

<p style="text-align:center;">The lonely silver-and-white apprentice,

<p style="text-align:center;">Knew she was meant for greater things.

<p style="text-align:center;">Her eyes turned into those of her Clan's,

<p style="text-align:center;">''Every movement in the Dark Forest kept in her brain. ''

<p style="text-align:center;">Warriors they did become,

<p style="text-align:center;">Dovewing and Ivypool,

<p style="text-align:center;">Warriors with more pressure,

<p style="text-align:center;">Than the leader of any Clan.

<p style="text-align:center;">While two toms battled in Dovewing's head,

<p style="text-align:center;">Ivypool battled warriors who had seen things,

<p style="text-align:center;">And done things,

<p style="text-align:center;">Never meant to be seen or done.

<p style="text-align:center;">At last, the fateful day had come,

<p style="text-align:center;">The day when darkness spilled over the edge of Clan territory,

<p style="text-align:center;">The day when all cats' power untied,

<p style="text-align:center;">Ivypool trained the warriors,

<p style="text-align:center;">Dovewing heard the Dark Forest approach,

<p style="text-align:center;">Both sisters worked together,

<p style="text-align:center;">To save the Clan their whole lives had been dedicated to,

<p style="text-align:center;">Together,

<p style="text-align:center;">As one,

<p style="text-align:center;">''Forever. ''
