Chapter 5 - Prophecies and Fate
All the cats mewed loudly, thier noise echoing through Fourtrees.
"A new prophecy-"
"What could it be?"
"Wonder what it's about..."
"I heard it has soemthing to do with the Bloodclan attacks-"
A deep yowl silenced all the clan cats. The four leaders stood on Fourtrees, their deputy's sitting close by. SparrowPaw recognised all the leaders. Their was his leader OakStar, CreekStar of Riverclan who looked nearly exactly like his daughter, only his fur was a shade darker and patternless. OwlStar, leader of Windclan and YoungStar of Shadowclan. YoungStar had always lived up to his name of looking moons younger than he should. He was tall yet his facial feature made him seem the age of an apprentice.
"We all now it to be true." OwlStar stated. "Yesterday all medicine cats received a message from Starclan."
"This is true, WeedLeaf was told of it right in front of me." CreekStar mewed flinging his tail over his paws. All the cats began to whisper, wondering what had been said. As if she could read everycat's minds, WeedLeaf, the medicine cat of Riverclan, spoke loudly.
"They spoke to me," SparrowPaw listened with interest. Next to him sat a small grey tabby tom and out of the corner of his eye, he saw DawnPaw sitting not too far from her father. "They told me that 'to discover plans of clan of blood. Four cats, one broken and ruined, one with wings of flight, one of the rising sun and one of tall stone. With danger at every turn, two will bond and two will learn. From full moon, the four will be sent by leaders of Copper, Owl, Young and Oak to stone of moon."
The whispering and chatter of cats got louder. "I saw a vision of the cat that must be sent by Shadowclan." The Shadowclan medicine cat, whose name he did not know, stood forward and the others nodded.
"Who is it Starclan wants us to send to Moonstone?" YoungStar asked, his tail flicking slightly in interest.
"My leader, TatteredPaw has been chosen." Shadowclan's medicine cat purred and YoungStar's eye shone.
"Very well then. I'm sure he'll be happy to make the journey, won't you TatteredPaw?" SparrowPaw heard the small tom next to him give a tiny gasp and as he followed his gaze he saw it was directed on a black tom who looked like he had been scarred by a massive predator of some kind. The black tom simply nodded and his leader stood tall, his face grim.
"From Windclan we have CliffPaw." All Windclan cats started to whisper and some gave surprised and even annoyed yowls. SparrowPaw could've sworn he heard a few insults muttered under a few Windclan apprentices breaths.
CliffPaw, who he soon learned was the very cat he'd been sitting next to, didn't seem to care and gave a small jump of excitement. SparrowPaw admired the small apprentice's spirit as he skipped up to who he guessed was his mentor who didn't look the slightest bit pleased.
All cats finally looked at Riverclan's medicine cat who seemed to be standing by herself nervously. "The apprentice chosen of Riverclan is DawnPaw."
DawnPaw seemed to straighten as a few cats looked in awe while others looked in fear and worry, one of those cats included CopperStar. DawnPaw and CopperStar's gazes met and the apprentice's eye slitted ever so slightly. SparrowPaw looked between them, wondering if there was something going on between the two.
"SparrowPaw." SparrowPaw looked up as his name was called and all clan cats looked at him.
