Prologue - Where the Sun Doesn't Shine.
There are things long the way, thats what everyone does say.

Nobody tells the truth these days..

Cloudstorm looked his leader, Silverstar in the eyes. A dark storm was swirling about in the sky, and lighting cracked. Crack, boom, crack, boom. The rain beat down on their pelts, turning Cloudstorm's fluffy pelt into a soaking wet tangled mess. "Silverstar.."

The silver leader looked into the deep blue eyes of the once innocent, and pure Cloudstorm. But all she could find were the dust of his old self. Hatred, and anger were the only remaining in those deep eyes. "Cloudstorm..?"

Cloudstorm smiled, and Silverstar glanced at his claws, stained red. No trace of his former self remained. She turned her face to a frown, and looked back to Cloudstorm. "Do you know who I am?"

Silverstar lowered to the ground, scared. She couldn't believe her own deputy. "You are Cloudstar, my deputy and l-loyal companion..?"

Cloudstorm smiled wider, innocence fading rapidly. He bared his teeth, and echoed a distant, eerie laugh. "WRONG ANSWER!" He cackled. Silverstar yowled out, but nobody heard her. Cloudstorm laughed louder, till he was just shouting ha. "I'M CLOUDSTAR! AND YOU THINK I'M LOYAL TO YOU? Old fool.. Never had a chance.. Blind from the start.. I'm not loyal to anybody..

"Cloudstar.. A nice name.. And you think I wanted to just speak with you? Wrong again.." He grinned widely. "I brought you out here, where NOBODY can help you.. SO I COULD KILL YOU!"

Silverstar screeched, yet nobody could hear her. CLoudstorm charged, slashing at her neck. He was merciless, to his leader he had always looked up to. He laughed as he felt the cold blood of Silverstar rush to his claws. Soon, Silverstar was on her last life, collapsed on the ground.

"Surrender, or die." He whispered in her ear. Tears streaming from her face, she surrendered. "That's what I thought. Mercy. Such an old fool." He snickered. "Come on, let's spread the news."

And Silverstar, down-ranked to Silverheart, and Cloudstorm, up-ranked to Cloudstar walked back to ThunderClan. Leader, and prisoner...
