The Loop

Prologue
Mistybush stepped out from behind the leafy green bush and came up to Fernstar.

"All is not lost for you yet," she said. "For you have another chance. A kit will soon be born that holds the power of the stars in her paws. She will save you."

"A kit?" Fernstar gasped. "Are you telling me there is going to be a kit in my nursery that is going to risk her life to save us? I thought kits weren't allowed outside camp!"

"This kit will become an apprentice at three moons," Mistybush continued, "a warrior at nine."

"Impossible!" Fernstar retorted.

"It is possible," Mistybush replied. "This is a strange kit, and we don't know all about her ourselves. Sometimes things are shrouded from our sight and our hearing and this is one of them."

"But-" Fernstar's plea was stopped and she headed out of StarClan.
