--Ein Schatten in den Wolken--
It was time before dawn when the moon had set. FireStar led ThunderClan and WindClan down to the clearing. SkullStar the new ShadowClan waited patiently for him at the top of a large high rock, smiliar to the one at their old home. His black pelt was neatly groomed and he sat with his tail curcled around his paws.
"Greetings FireStar and OneStar" he meowed to the ThunderClan and WindClan leader. He stretched his paws out infront of him in stretch, showing how stronger he was than the two opposing leaders. "Have you two decided to stop tresspassing on our territory?"
"No, we can talk about this. No ThunderClan cat has been tresspassing into ShadowClan territory" Firestar replied steadily. He remained calm, only a small amount of Shadowclan warriors stood by Skullstar. Skullstar let a mrrow of laughter in these last two moons "I have constinsly told you to keep your warriors off our territory but I guessed you didnt listern, did you Firestar?"
"We have pleanty of prey and enough territory for two clans, what makes you think we need your territory?"
Feeling the last feeling of hope fade away, FireStar shot a glance at LeafPool hoping to catch her attention. He looked at the ShadowClan warriors before him, they looked well feed even abit fat compared to the warriors we was used to facing back at their old home.
He recgonise the ShadowClan Deputy TragicHeart, who murmmered a few words to his leader, Skullstar nodded in agreement. Some of the Shadowclan warriors had their claws unsheathered and their eyes glittered waiting for the signal. "I guess youre never going to listern, but your warriors will" Skullstar explained to the two leaders, flexing his claws. "Youre just over reacting about this, you just want a reason to fight" meowed OneStar impatientionly.
"Ha! You were always the stubborn one" Skullstar sneered. "Are you suggesting that we fight? Look, you have hardly any warriors!" spat Onestar, his fur bristling. "Are you calling my warriors weak?" Skullstar demaned. Springing to his paws his fur on end, so that he looked twice their size. Patrols of RiverClan and ShadowClan cats sprang out of their hiding places, lining up before Skullstar.
The line of RiverClan and ShadowClan cats sprang forward. "Thunderclan, WindClan attack!" FireStar yowled. A huge ginger tom lepted at Onestar knocking him off his paws. The silence from moments before become a mass of fighting cats. FireStar batted his claws at a Riverclan warrior, he could hear cats falling all around the high rock. Onestar bounded back at a grey Shadowclan apprentice, LeafPool charged forwards swiping at MistyFoots head and BrambleClaw lunged at one of Riverclans senior warriors as all the clans raced into a mob of fighting cats. Firestar kicked up at another Shadowclan apprentice knocking her off balance. He staggered and stirred around for Skullstar but it seemed he had vanished into thin air.
He was still bewildered that Riverclan had suddenily joined forces with Shadowclan after a sickness spread through their clan, unless LeopardStar had been black mailed. He noticed Cloudtail struggling under two black Shadowclan warriors and Squirrelflight fighting side by side with Brambleclaw against a black tom twice her size. Sandstorm was being backed into the side of the rock, struggling helplessly against three of Riverclan cats. With a howl, Firestar tossed himself into an aggressive fight with LeopardStar and two Windclan warriors, pushing them to the side. He leaped and landed squarely onto LeopardStars shoulders. He clung on while Leapordstar while she tired to shake him loose. Onestar ran up to Firestar and he clawed the Riverclan leader to the ground with his claws while Firestar dragged her to the ground.
"Tell you warriors to go home!" hissed Onestar, Leopardstar let out a fercious yowl and batted away Onestar with her hind paws. Firestar jumped back startled , he was about to jump when some Ashfoot and some Windclan warriors leapted in the middle attacked some Shadowclan warriors. Firestar looked around, shaking off the drops of blood from his raggered pelt. He sprang back into battle, Cloudtail raced past his chasing away a Riverclan apprentice, he saw Brambleclaw backing up Squirrelflight with fighting Mistyfoot.
Firestar felt his fur begin to bristle as his gaze found Skullstar pinning down Leafpool. The large black tom had Leafpool trapped under him at the base of the large rock. With a roar that echoed across the clearing, he charged at Skullstar knocking him off his paws. "Skullstar!" snarled Firestar with his teeth bared. Without a warning Firestar lepted at the black tom but the tom rolled under Firestar and the ginger tom went head first at the base of the rock. A huge crashing sound was herd around the clearing.
With the impact from the rock Firestar fell to the ground, his head thumping madly. Skullstar looked shocked as if he hadnt expected this to happen, excruciating pain raced through Firestars body, he cringded in pain. He couldnt force himself to get up, his breathes were running short. The ShadowClan leader reared back, his paw raise for the death blow. Firestar scrabbled away but he wasn;t fast enough for the advancing leader. Many of the cats that were fighting stopped to turned to watch the on going stuggled between the two leaders.
Agony exploded in Firestars throat in as the sheathered claws of Skullstar struck down. Leafpool let out a deafing cry and raced through the cats, coming to her fathers side. Skullstar backed off towards TragicHeart. "Firestar this isnt your last life you have-" she protested, the dying ginger tom shook his head. "Head when dark rules the forest.....Three will vanish...." His voice failed, struggling to keep awake. "and the oracle will bring back the blood....." Leafpool finished off, for him. "Don't you die on me! Think about your clan and- and" Leafpool meowed desperatly but he gave her no response. All the cats from the clans circled around Leafpool and Firestar, Brambleclaw pushed through the cats, he raced forward "No, Firestar you cant leave us" he begged. But the leader let go of his life to hunt with Starclan for enterity. Brambleclaw looked around at the cats, many of the cats had their heads lowered in the upmost respect.
"Fire alone can save our clan" muttered Leafpool quietly to herself, the last of the fire died from the leaders eyes. He looked at her, Brambleclaw remebered the myserious prophecy that SpottedLeaf had predicted before FireStar had joined ThunderClan. Onestar let out a high wail, and raced forward along with Sandstorm, Squirrelflight and Cloudtail.
"You!" yowled Brambleclaw to Skullstar, he surged forward. Skullstar didnt flinch, "I wouldnt if I were you, you wouldnt want to die like your daddy? Or let JayPaw, HollyPaw and LionPaw grow up, like you were without their dad?" he snapped. Brambleclaw bit down on his tongue, he wanted to kill that leader but there was another time for that. The shadowclan cats padded off even some stayed behind to set firestar on his journey to Starclan. Brambleclaw could do nothing but stare at his beloved leaders motions body. Squirrelflight come up to Brambleclaw, her eyes clouded with sorrow, she nuzzled his flank motionlessly.
Leafpool stared up at the SilverPelt, looking for a sign. She knew the prophecy was for JayPaw, Hollypaw and Lionpaw but they hadnt even completed their own prophecies. She sighed and caught ahold of a bright flaming-red star gliding across the starry sky. BrambleStar came to her side, to had been atleast 4 moons since the tragic death of Firestar, "Fire alone shall save our clan, the prophecy still lives down in his kin"
Seasons past and no sign of the prophecy, Leafpool never mentioned it to another cat. She knew that it must have been a mis-interpreted prophecy but what worried her was that FireStar had used his last breathes to tell her it. But it never was passed on to another cat, it went down to the grave with LeafPool......

Early morning sunlight streamed down onto the ShadeClan river. Omenstorm could tell another cat was near, the young Medince Cats eyes scanned the horizon, there was no cat in sight or no scent in the breeze. Something was wrong.definely wrong nothing made a noise, she couldnt here the rushing of the river, the gentle swaying of the trees or the crunching of the soft sand on the bank when she walked.
Suddenly a flash of brown raced past her, OmenStorm stiffened. Her eyes followed where the cat raced past but she saw nothing, she looked at some leaves that were swaying and made no noise whats so ever. "Come on, I know youre here" she growled defensively, but where? The Medince Cat padded down to the waters egde but she couldnt even feel the water, she hesitated nothing was the same, this place was her home but unfarmilar.
A chill of fear swepted down her spine, this definely wasnt her home. The forest went dark, she couldnt see past the first row of trees even the water turned dark and sun was covered by dark heavy clouds. "StarClan have you failed us?" stuttered Omenstorm with fear starting to erupted inside of her. Another flash of brown raced past her, determined to find out what this choas was all about, Omenstorm started to run after the cat but found a Old dark brown tom staring at her from a few fox lenghts away in the river. His eyes were glazed over with redness like he hadnt rested for moons, he had a look of uncertainty. With each paw step in the river the water would glow around him and turned to its normal state until he moved from that part. OmenStorm started to back off, with her eyes locked on the newcomer, "what are doing here, this is ShadeClan territory!" hissed OmenStorm, more threatening. The tom stopped, spranging up some water. "Soon this territory will belong to no one" he replied his voice calm and influencing. In a flash, the dark brown cat sped off towards the forest, OmenStorm followed she wasnt going to let this mad cat harm her clan. But with each paw step into the forest, she become cold and confused. The only thing that she could sense was fear, anger, guilt, rage, pain, danger, greed coming to her at once, but the toms presence gave her the flicker of hope shed been looking for. "Wait, come back!" There was no reply, she started towards the exit but it wasnt there, only darkness that lingered with the forest.
The forest along with the cooling presence disappeared. Her eyes flew open there were berries over her, no dark forests or the coldness. OmenStorm lay shuddering with relief as she relized that she was laying in the nest in her den. "c'mon OmenStorm, you dont want to miss the gathering do you?" meowed the tortoiseshell she-cat, looking down at the Medince Cat with her blue eyes. OmenStorm arched her back in a stretch, "no I was just sleeping" the apprentice looked fondly at her, "whats an aprentice like yourself waking me in my sleep, shouldnt you be on a patrol?" SpotPaw shook her head, "No Im allowed to go to this gathering" she purred and puffed out her chest in the remaining light.
"Oh I bet DeerSpot will have the time of her life with you hanging off her every word" OmenStorm teased and battered her paw at the apprentices ear. SpotPaw interrupted her with a muffled growl. "BearStars calling- wed better go and get ready" she hissed. OmenStorm looked out at the light brown tabby. His fur was neatly groomed and looked unusually short.
The stars of SilverPelt blazed from a clear sky and the full moon rode high. OmenStorm crouched at the top of the hill leading down to the Cresent Rock. Beneath the towering pines, the ground was littered with fallen leaves of Leaf-fall. Black shapes of cats moved to and fro against the pale shimmer. BearStar obsevered from the egde of the grass hill, he had a look of uncertainty. This was to be expected, the last gathering the tension rose dramatically it seemed that EarthClan was onto something but RavenStar still had to find some evidence.
Most of ShadeClans warriors were getting impatention, she spotted SpotPaw with her close mentor. DeerSpot was chatting eagerly to SootNose. The two seemed rather close but they just showed to be friends for the time being. Her attention went back to BearSpot as his gaze was fixed on RavenStar and FalconStar talking in the shadow of the Cresent Stone, he let out a short hiss. He signaled with his tail and the ShadeClan Cats got to their paws and raced through some brackens and to the Cresent Stone.
Down at the Cresent Stone, she could tell there was EarthClan and WaterClan but AirClan was no where, that was unusaul for them. A young cat push forward, a orange-flamed she-cat with green eyes and ears pricked up in excitement. "Hi OmenStorm! Do you remember me? " OmenStorm looked at the apprentice, she had a strong scent of WaterClan. "Youre MoonLights Apprentice, right?" she asked, the young Medince cat looked frightenly farmilar.
She let out a laugh, "yes, dont you remember from the half moon?" she sighed, "Im HerbPaw, the one that all the elders say looked like FireStar!" she exclaimed. OmenStorm studied HerbPaw, she remembered from the Half-moon the entergetic apprentice that wouldnt stop talking. "Do you even know who FireStar is?" Some of the elders mentioned the name Firestar but the tales were too far lost that no one remebered the ginger tom. HerbPaw looked down at her paws embarrsed, "dont be embarrsed, I doubt anyone here knows - even I dont" exclaimed OmenStorm. From the conner of her eye she saw a flash of grey. Something lepted ontop of OmenStorms backed, she faultered forward. The cat had a grip on her shoulders, she let out a loud hiss and pushed off her hind paws falling onto her back. Quickly she wriggled free, straggering upwards and turned to face her attacker.
"oh haha" meowed OmenStorm sarcastically, rolling her eyes. The young Medince Cat shot up onto her paws, "cant you have some fun? I just wanted to make it up to you" teased SwallowPaw her ashy-white fur glimmering in the moonlight. SwallowPaw was AirClans Medince Cat apprentice, her mentor DoveFeather was the age of a Elder but she didnt trust SwallowPaw with taking care of the clan because of her entergetic attitude and rarely taking anything seriously.
"OH great I have the WaterClan stench all over me, what ever should I BearStar?" OmenStorm joked but she was interrupted by HerbPaws muffled hiss. "oh right, HerbPaw this is SwallowPaw the WaterClans Medince Cat Apprentice" she introduced with the flickering of her tail. SwallowPaw sat up straighter, "how are getting along with grumpy old DoveFeather?" asked HerbPaw her eyes sparkling with amusement. "She wont be bothering anyone any more- StarClan will be taking great care of her!" she exclaimed. It fell silent, "oh Im sorry, when was this?" asked ShadeClans Medince Cat.
"Not too long ago, I think it was her time and now she can watch me become the Medince Cat that she could never see in me" A grinn spread across her face, "you are so lucky! Whats your new name? Whats is like to be Medince cat? Huh huh?" purred HerbPaw prancing around excitedly. "its SwallowTail now"
OmenStorm was about to open her mouth when a yowl from the top of the Cresent Stone interrupted her. She turned to see that all the three leaders were present. When the cats had fallen silent StealthStar stepped forward "cats of all clans" she began, her voice grim from greiving. Our former Deputy, " SmokeEar, has left our clan to join the ranks of StarClan" she annouced. "He was a noble Deputy and our clan and other cats mourn his passing. I have had a small time to think about a suitable Deputy and StreamPelt has kindly accepted my offer" Many meows of congratulations rose from cats from all the clans, StreamPelt stood up straight not embarrsed from the suddenly wave of attention. "His apprentice TreePaw will miss him very dearly and thats why I have decide to take him as my own apprentice" she stated. TreePaw, a white tom sat at the back of the gathering, with his shoulders hunched and his head lowered staring silently at his paws. He would usually wonder around with his mentor but he could only watch. At the mention of his name he looked up and caught ahold of the last sentence that StealthStar said, two of his den mates SunPaw and RabbitPaw raced over to congradulate him.
"We also mourn for the death of our beloved Medince Cat DoveFeather, she now joins SmokeEar in starclan and lets hope her apprentice SwallowPaw now SwallowTail will live up to her expectations "she meowed, her voice still shaken from the Deaths of her Medince Cat and Deputy. OmenStorm shot a small glance at SwallowTail but her gaze was locked on her leader.
BearStar and FalconStar shared their news and RavenStar stepped forward, a horrible gut feeling rose in OmenStorm as she watched the black tom. The black tom curcled his tail around his paws, "We have a new litter in EarthClan, EagleWings has given birth to three kits SilverKit, EarthKit and BladeKit" he yowled and fell silent.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, "I have grave news, as most of the clans know ShadeClan has been expanding their territory atleast 10 fox lenghts in this last few moons" he changelled with a glint of power in his eyes. "dung-fox. Thats observed!" spat BearStar, glaring at the opposing leader. RavenStar shook his head, "Every cat knows in the forest, that ShadeClan are the desendants from ShadowClan and seek more territory and are power-hungry!" he meowed back to BearStar so all the cats could here. "no because the other cats could tell if we went over there scent markers" insited ShadeClans leader.
StealthStar padded forward, she didnt dare look at BearStar, "No, its true we cant use the Sand Stones anymore" she sighed stepping over to RavenStar. "If so why does it concern EarthClan?" demaned BearStar, furious. "Because if AirClan loses Territory, theyll steal WaterClans territory and then WaterClan will start to steal my clans territory" The cats of all the clans stared up at the clouds covering the Moon, "Starclan is angry!" some of them muttered. OmenStorm stared at Both SwallowTail and HerbPaw, they both were looking at something in the distance.
"We should stop the gathering!" shouted StreamEyes from below. "Before I leave BearStar, I will banish you from your territory because leaders before us have done the same and that had no effect" His tail lashed angrily "bring it on, ShadeClan has more warriors than EarthClan" he smirked, his liping curcling. "I wouldnt count on it, with AirClan and WaterClan with me I think I have it under control!" he howled and marched off. "is this what you meant by you wanted to make it up to me? asked OmenStorm her eyes full of fright, she notcied HerbPaw had slipped away to stand in the shadow of her mentor.
"Im sorry- OmenStorm you hvae to underst-" she swallowed her words, dissapointed that she had to force her friend from her home. "I have to go" the new AirClan Medince Cat manged to say before slipping away in the darkness. Only ShadeClan was left at the Cresent Rock, OmenStorm looked up at her leader. His face was un-readable, in all his moons of leadership hed never been face with this. The light brown tabby looked down at his clan, SpotPaw was looking up at him in fear-stricken while SpottedDeer and SootNose had their heads lowered next to each other so that their flanks brushed against each other. "We will be ready and we will fight for what is rightfully ours, no questions asked!" he chanted rising the ShadeClans cats spirits. OmenStorm joined in the yowls of a victorous battle to come.
