Sundawn's Promise

Mallowcreek stared up at the glittering StarClan warriors. One star shone brighter than all others. "I wonder if that is Speckledream?" Mallowcreek wondered aloud. A cold breeze whipped past her. Mallowcreek whipped around. A ghostly form of a cat stood there. "Who are you?" The medicine cat asked. "I am Quailheart, the medicine cat before Gingerfoot," the starry cat replied. Mallowcreek stared questioningly at Quailheart. "Why would you come from your hunting grounds to here?" She asked. Quailheart did not reply. Instead the she-cat flicked her tail and padded off to the thorn tunnel. "Well, are you coming or are you going to turn into ice?" Quailheart chuckled padded into the forest of LightningClan. Mallowcreek took a quick glanced behind her before trotting after Quailheart. Sounds Mallowcreek had never heard before echoed through the forest. She shuddered. "Scared?"

Mallowcreek kept pace with Quailheart, not wanting to be left behind in the forest. "Why did you bring me out here anyway?" Mallowcreek asked breaking the cold silence. Quailheart sighed. "I have an important prophecy to explain, and you were the only cat strong enough to understand it and not lose your mind," the starry cat meowed. Mallowcreek gulped again. Quailheart drew in a deep breath. "There is a great danger coming to the clans, the one with the sun guiding them will save us...." Quailheart's voice trailed off as the she-cat disappeared. "Wait!" Mallowcreek cried. "I don't understand!" "You will understand soon...."
