Edge of the River || Prolouge || ❝It All Happened on a Rainy Day❞

Instructions

Nice…I guess… Squirrel, this is just the beginning, I'mma change the name here real quick- Told from Misted Light's POV, then in Cloudkit's Anyway; Prolouge; Rain dripped down my whiskers and soaked my pelt, making my wings heavy. They dragged across the ground as I reached the river. I thought of my unborn kits, so close to due. Suddenly a spasm of pain racked my body. I collapsed, and cried out in pain. My tail flicked, and my wings lay splayed out at my side. B|ood trickled out, as the first kit came. Then it started gushing as the next kits came, and I knew I was dying. Tears filled my eyes and slipped down my cheeks as I looked at my newborn kits. I lifted my head weakly for one last time, and loo,ed at my kits. Then my head thumped down, and splashed in a thin pool of b|ood. I opened my eyes, and lifted my paw, only it was shimmering with Starlight and my body didn't move with it. Quail was right beside me, ready to lead me off to the spirit world. I expected that he'd look different after that awful fox attack, but he didn't, he was still missing half of his tail that the fox tore off, and his eye was still scarred. His right front leg was still torn off, and his ears were shredded. He looked at me with such love and compassion I almost forgot about my kits. Then I looked back, trying to go back to them, but Quail held me back. "They'll be fine," he meowed. I on the other hand was not convinced. Then my eyes were drawn to the scar on his throat. It was where the fox had torn his throat out. I shook, and nearly collapsed again. Quail convinced me to follow him to the spirit world, and I went just as a she-cat from CloudClan found my kits... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okie-dokie! We're movin' on to lil' Cloudy's POV!; I watched my mother, Dragonlight as she rounded up all the kits for an important announcement. "Your apprentice ceremonies will be tomorrow," she meowed. I bounced. "But there's also something you must know..." She bit her lip, and I could tell something was wrong. "I-I'm not your real mother...," she whispered. Tears filled my eyes, and at first I didn't believe it. Then it made sense, all of my littermates had magic, and I had wings... we must've gotten that from our real mother. I unsheathed my claws and ran. Dragonlight tried to come close to apologize, but I scratched her, hissing c_rses at her and yelling. She finally gave up and sat in a corner of the camp. Sandkit joined her, and I was so mad at her. I spread my wings, and flew up to a branch. Tomorrow was the day of the ceremony... tomorrow a new era would begin...
