This War is Mine

''My first story, yay! This will be an attempted version of warriors in Skyrim. Enjoy :)''

Prologue
My head jolted upright from sleep, and I glanced around at my surroundings, gasping for air. No, I was not underwater, drowning. I was back in my den, safe, but the stone walls felt as if they were closing in around me.

"Thistlestar?" a soft voice called from the entrance of my den.

"Come in," I answered gruffly. I licked my ruffled dark gray tabby fur to lie smoothly. "What is it, Flowerheart?" I asked, seeing one of my medicine cats pad into the dark den.

Flowerheart's own white pelt was bristled in alarm. "Thistlestar, I had a disturbing vision last night, and I thought I should let you know. The other medicine cats had it as well, even the apprentices."

"Well tell it," I said, sitting up with my tail curled neatly over my paws.

"Blood was everywhere. It streamed down hills and settled on the paths of our camps. Cats were fighting, warriors hailed from the tiniest camp to the largest castle to join the war. But in the midst of it all, a shadow appeared and wiped out everyone."

''Not another war. Not so soon after the last.'' "Are you sure it wasn't just a nightmare?" I asked.

"Thistlestar, every medicine cat had the same vision. That's not a nightmare, that's an omen!" Flowerheart argued.

"Then I'll tell the deputy to assign more carriers to fortify our walls. There'll be patrols more frequently, the forgers will create more armour, and an extra guard will be added to every guarded location," I said. "Don't worry, Flowerheart. If we all die, then it was by the Maker's will."

Flowerheart rolled her icy-blue eyes. "Suit yourself, Thistlestar. But I won't stand by when there's the threat of war lingering around." She padded away, into the sunlight outside, and disappeared around a corner.

"You can't even do anything, you're a medicine cat!" I grumbled under my breath. I sighed, head hanging. Attacks were always aimed at my clan, only because we were the wealthiest in prey and quarry. But a full-blown war has never happened here. Last time it initialized at Rorikstead, a small camp in the middle of nowhere. But the problem was resolved.

A shadow, huh?
