Crimson Sky: Prologue

There were quick and hushed whispers along the edge of the grassy hollow. "Hush!" A black tabby stepped forward in front of a clear pond. All the cats stopped talking and stared at the she cat. "Dashfoot." The black tabby glared at a ginger and white tom who was bouncing around. "Sorry Nightstar." Dashfoot stopped and settled down, the tip of his tail twitching. "Now, Tinyminnow, you said you wanted to say something about you're granddaughter." Nightstar looked over to a small dark ginger she cat. "Yes, Smallkit." The dark ginger she cat padded up to the pond and swished her paw in it. "Why does this tiny kit hold any value to us?" A brown tabby tom stepped out from the crowd. "Tinyminnow has had a vision." Nightstar answered. "You trust the words of her?" The warrior looked at the tiny cat. "Why shouldn't you believe me Grassclaw?" Tinyminnow challenge. The brown tabby glared at her before answering, "Because you're an insane cat that should have joined AcidClan!" "Stop!" A white and yellow tabby leaped in front of the two. "It's true!" Grassclaw snarled. "Let her speak." the she cat growled back. "Fine." Grassclaw turned and walked away. The she cat followed him. "Continue on Tinyminnow." Nightstar nodded to the old cat. "Come on! I want to hunt!" Dashfoot hissed impatiently. "Right, I'm sorry Dashfoot." Tinyminnow turned back to the pond. "Look, the pond's turned to a crimson and. . ." Tinyminnow walked along side a small brooke. "The pond breaks into a small brooke." Cats cleared away from the brooke. "So what does it mean?" Dashfoot asked as he sniffed the brooke. "I don't know but I know it has something to do with Smallkit." Tinyminnow looked up to the tom. "We'll have to tell Dewberry." Nightstar meowed. "But we don't even know how to put it into words! Let alone what it means!" Dashfoot exclaimed. "Then we'll find out how to put it into words and what it means." Nightstar started to pad out of the hollow. Dashfoot looked down at Tinyminnow. "What will we do now?" he asked. "What we've always done my son." Tinyminnow turned around to walk away. Dashfoot followed the tiny she cat.
