Two Birds

Prologue

 * The night was quiet and dark, the only sound was a soft wind blowing through the treetops. A dark cat, black as night, looking more like a shadow then a living thing, stood over the a pale tabby. The pale tabby's brown striped legs and paws were stained dark with blood, and his blue eyes shone with so much pain, the black warrior almost had to look away. Beside the pale tom, lie the motionless body of a queen, her dark gray fur thick and sticky with blood.


 * The black warriors yellow eyes were hard, but a very faint trace of saddness shone in their depths. "You were given your power to protect your Clan. Your family. And now you've used it to destory them," he said in a deep, harsh voice. "You're not even known by your true name anymore among the Clan. You've become a monster."


 * The tabby toms head hung, eyes closed and his stance betrayed his shame and grief. He opened his mouth, ready to defend himself, then closed it, clearly not finding anything to do so.
