Embersky's Flames -Prologue-

Instructions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey there! This is my first project, so I know it's bad. Please like and star. Sorry, but this is not a slides story. In the prologue, the she-cat is Whitebreeze, and the other cat is her mate and the founder of CloudClan; Cloudstar. (I know there once was a leader of SkyClan named Clouldstar). They are in StarClan. Coalfur is Cloudstar's brother, and he is from the Dark Forest. Slight bl00d alert! (Somecat dies, but not in a bl00dy way). This is the intro (not the prologue yet)! _______________________ In a world, where all Clans are wiped out... except for one. CloudClan. The mystical Clan with feathered wings. The last Clan may not live much longer. StarClan has abandoned them, and the Dark Forest is closing in on the final Clan. The Place of No Stars will surely destroy CloudClan... unless someone stops them. (Prologue Part 1 starting now) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A white cat paced agitatedly atop a hill. The silhouetted figure beside her remained calm, flicking his tail. "Whitebreeze." The tom's clear mew rang out through the still, starless night. He stretched out a black-and-pale wing and brushed it against the she-cat's shoulder. "Settle down." he murmured. Whitebreeze flinched and batted his wing away with her own. "Settle down? We can't contact the only living Clan, and you want me to settle down?" she hissed. She dabbed at the Moonpool, trying to reach the Clan. Then she shrieked. The tom whirled around and was horrified by what he saw. "Whitebreeze!" he yowled. A gooey, dark tendril was snaking out of the Moonpool and was dragging Whitebreeze under the dark depths. "No!" he streaked forward, but it was too late. His beloved mate was gone. He collapsed with despair. His glazed, blue eyes stared out to the dark, foreboding water of the Moonpool. As he watched, transfixed, a dark shape of a broad-shouldered cat rose out of the water. It padded towards him. The silhouette's luminous amber eyes met his blue eyes, and the sorrowful cat looked away. "Coalfur." he mewed warily. The dark gray tom smirked. "Cloudstar. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Cloudstar unsheathed his claws. "What did you do to Whitebreeze?" he growled hoarsely. Coalfur threw back his head and let out a dry laugh. Grief and rage flooded through Cloudstar's veins. Bl00d roaring in his ears, he lunged at his cruel brother. Coalfur easily dodged his move. "Coalfur. We're brothers." Cloudstar tried to soothe him. "Not litter-brothers." Coalfur barreled into him and knocked the former CloudClan leader to the ground. He put a dark gray paw on Cloudstar's throat, pressing down. The spotted cream-colored tom writhed, trying to escape. He struggled to breathe, his breath rattling in his lungs. Suddenly, the weight on his throat lifted. Coalfur stepped back, his eyes cold and otherwise unreadable. "Go," he snarled. "Tell StarClan that the Dark Age is here." Cloudstar's sky-blue eyes widened. "The prophecy," he breathed." "Go now or I'll k!ll you." The stunned tom turned and sprinted at top speed, flapping his wings. "Have mercy, ancestors, for the Dark Age has come."
