Onyxstar called to the Clan, "I have decided to let the rouges that have come to stay with us join the clan. From this moment on, Teal will be known as Tealpaw, Crystal will be known as Crystalpaw, and Flame will be known as Flamepaw. The mentors will be

Tealpaw---> Cloudgaze

Crystalpaw---> Onyxstar

That is all!"

A Dark Prophecy (Part 2)

(In order, Teal, Flame, and Crystal)

Flickerpaw awoke from her sleep to the sound of wailing. She pricked up her ears and padded out of her den, silent as a shadow. The wailing seemed to come from one side of the beach. She padded towards the right side and gasped. Three cats were spread out and soaking on the beach. A snow white she-cat, a sturdy orange tom, and a brown tabby tom were flopped down, half in and half out of the water. "Onyxstar! Onyxstar!", Flickerpaw yelled, hurtling up the path...

~~~~~~~~~

"Will they survive?"

"Yes. They are strong, though I was not sure for a while there." Petalsoul and Onyxstar were sitting outside the medicine cat's den, watching the three cats inside the den. "Where did they come from?" Onyxstar asked. "Did StarClan give you a sign?"

"No," said Petalsoul, looking worried. "I would think they would have..." Inside, she was doubting herself. Has Starclan cut off all connection with me because of my love for Onyxstar? she wondered, but didn't say anything. The two cats were interrupted in their musings by a weak moan from inside the cave. Petalsoul rushed into the den, followed closely by Onyxstar.

The white she-cat had opened her eyes. They were a startlingly beautiful light blue, rimmed with a darker shade of blue. "Where am I?", she asked groggily.

"You are in CliffClan," Onyxstar said kindly. "We found you three on the beach."

"Three?", the she-cat said, then sighed with relief. "I am Crystal. These are my brothers, Flame and Teal."

"What?" said the ginger tom, who had just opened his eyes. "Who are these cats, Crystal?"

"I am Onyxstar, leader of CliffClan. This is Petalsoul, our medicine cat."

Flame coughed, spat water, and said, "I'm Flame and this is-"

"It's okay I told them that already!" Crystal said. The brown tabby tom, Teal, had opened his teal-colored eyes and was watching the whole scene.

"Would you mind telling us where you came from?" Petalsoul asked.

"Oh, well, I guess we'll begin at the beginning...", Crystal said.

We were born to rouge parents. We never met our father, but our mother raised and trained us well. One day we encountered two cats, the like of which we had never seen before. One of them, the tom, had huge yellow-silver eyes the exact color of the moon. The she-cat had a beautiful silver pelt with dark stripes. We talked to them for a while. The whole time they kept looking us up and down like they were sizing up a bird.

We learned that their names were Moon, the tom, and Shimmer, the she-cat. At one point, I saw Shimmer lean over and whisper something to Moon. Having good ears, I picked up her words. She said, 'They could be the ones, if they were trained.'

Shortly after, Moon and Shimmer left.

They came back though. Right to where we were camped. We had no idea where they had gotten our location from but they said they had their resources.

They had an arguement with our mother. They said that they wanted to recruit us for a great purpose. Our mother didn't want to give us up. Moon said she would regret her desicion. Two days later, we found her dead at the bottom of a river. It looked like she had fallen and broken her neck.

Shimmer and Moon came back. They said they were sorry, and did we want somewhere to stay now that our mom was dead? We accepted. It was the worst decision of our lives. They took us to a clan that they called VainClan.

Crystal stopped, her eyes filled with tears. "I-can we...can we talk about this tomorrow? I'm really tired."

"Very well," said Onyxstar. He and Petalsoul slipped quietly out of the den.

Camp

Okay, I'm going to be at camp from Sunday through Friday so I can't post anything. Thought you might want to know!

A Dark Prophecy (Part 1)

Onyxstar twitched in his sleep. He knew he was dreaming, but he also knew that he didn't want to wake up when he saw his dead mother, father, and brother standing before him. "What do you have to tell me?", he asked.

His brother, Burnpaw, came forward and said, "The code of the spark shows a dangerous path."

His father, Mudstripe, took a step, "The tabby, the sky, the rock, and the flicker of flame will lead."

His mother, Goldstar, gave another line, "Though the rock and the crystal will show their wrath."

And all the cats answered as one, "Against the forces of mirrors, only they can succeed."

Onyxstar shook his head, bewildered. "What?!", he asked. His family stepped closer to him, surrounding him with starry shapes. "Do not despair," Goldstar said kindly, a twinkle in her eyes.

"But know this," said Mudstripe, his voice controlled and serious. Burnpaw put his mouth to Onyxstar's ear and whispered into it, "You and Stripeheart are not the only of our kin left alive."

Onyxstar's eyes popped open. "B-but that means-" Before he could choke out another sound, the starry forest began to fade, and he woke in his den in a cold sweat.

The code of the spark shows a dangerous path. The snow, the sky, and the flicker of flame will lead, though the rock and the crystal will show their wrath. Against the forces of mirrors, only they can succeed...

End of the Swarm

(Okay, so this didn't go as I planned. There weren't that many comments, so next time, please take time to post something!!!)

Onyxstar called down to the clan from the top of the cliff. "The lemming swarm is over! We will have a feast tonight!" There were cheers from the clan. "But first," Onyxstar said over the yowls, "We have new additions to the clan. Please welcome our new warriors: Sunbeam, Oakleaf, Cloudgaze, Silvermoon, and Snapfang. We also have two new apprentices: Rockpaw and Snowpaw. Rockpaw, you will be mentored by Silvermoon. Snowpaw's mentor will be Snapfang. Clan dismissed!"

Lemming Swarm

"Okay,", Onyxstar said from the High Shelf. "The lemmings are almost here. I want all mentors and their apprentices to go out and catch as many as you can. Stripeheart and Silverdusk, take your apprentices out far into the territory. Swiftclaw and Foxthroat, keep your apprentices near the cliff. Crystalshine, stay in the medicine cat's den with Herbpaw and Petalsoul. Fireblaze and I will help the mentors and apprentices. Stargaze, keep your kits inside. Good luck!"

(Post under here for the lemming swarm, I'll start)
