Ok Lillian, I told you I'd write an epilogue, here it is :)
The Story of Moonstone; A Survivor, Warrior, and a Legend.
Prologue: "Run Silvercloud, run! Tribe of falling Stars split up! We must escape!"
"Distantstar, the clan is gone, what are we gonna do?" Distantstar licked Silverclouds head. "There's nothing I can do Silvrcloud, your child is going to be born soon, run, run into the forest, far away. You'll be safe from the danger, take care of our child." He ran off before she could reply.
Silvercloud looked down at her swollen belly, "I will protect you, little one." Then she ran offf, into the depths of the forest, taking one last look at her lost Tribe, which was now gone because of the vicious DeathClan.
Silvercloud ran until her breath was coming in very short painful gasps. She flopped onto the ground, taking slow, even breathes. Then took the time to investigate her injuries. After finding nothing to serious other then a few gashes and a deep scratch, her tired eyes looked up. She realized she was at the foot of a cave, with a very small opening; a distant but familiar glow came from the small opening. "Moonstone," she gasped. Her shock was stopped by a harsh pain in her abdomen. "My kit, thank goodness you waited until now.."
After a painful but quick moment, she delivered a she-kit. Something caught Silverclouds eye though, this kit was not normal. Her eyes were the brightest shade of teal, almost like pools of Turquiose gems; her fur was a dusty white/grey; her nose was a very pale white. On her left side was a very small but noticable star. Without hesitation, she took newborn into the cave and she nuzzled it's nose onto the Moonstone, as well as her own. Instantly she was connected with the legendary StarClan. A blue she-cat stood in front of her. A memory floated in her head, 'Bluestar'.
"Silvercloud, you have brought forth your newborn kit, you must have sensed what we did." Silvercloud dipped her head to the cat. "I did Bluestar".
"Bring her forward," the kitten protested with a mew as her mother picked her up by the scruff and carried her to the former Leader.
"This kit has a destiny," Bluestar started.
"She will bring great acheivement to the clan she is to find, and when the time comes, save her Clan from great danger. All of StarClan go with her, as she starts her journey. In honor of her, she will be named Moonstone, as this is where her memory will always be." Bluestar finished, then backed away. The kit was no longer scrambling, but lied down, ears pricked; her eyes wide with amazement and fear.
"You've brought a gift, Silvercloud. StarClan thanks you, you must take this kit to the forest, there you will find the cat destined to bring your kit's destiny alive."
Silvercloud awoke with a start, her kit stirring beside her, a tiny shiver passed her body, and Silvercloud cleaned her until she was warm. When daylight emerged, Silvercloud picked her offspring up and carried it out to the light, there she put her down and let her observe the world. "My sweet, come, we must find this cat."
Moonstone didn't speak, but followed with great behavior and respect. They traveled for days;unsure where to go, until the 3rd day when they bumped into a she-cat.
"Stay away, I'm not afraid to hurt y-" She stopped when she saw the kit.
"My appologizes, I'm just looking for-"
"A kit?" Silvercloud suggested.
The strange cat's fur rose. "How on earth did you know?" She growled, teeth bared.
"This is the kit... I birthed her 5 moonrises ago. And took her to Moonstone, where she was told to find a cat who will help fulfill her destiny. And I think it may as well be you. Do you have a clan?"
The cat calmed. "No, I am putting a Clan together, I'm Lilystar by the way. Yes, I was looking for a kit, I was told that this 'kit' would be the one to make LilyClan live. Silvercloud looked at her kit with pain and sorrow.
"Follow me, I will show you my camp. Don't worry, no other cats will be back yet."
They followed, "So, were you a rogue?" Silvercloud recalled what had happened a moon ago.
"I came from a Tribe, The Tribe of Falling Stars. We were destroyed by a clan named DeathClan the day before I kitted Moonstone, my kit."
Lilystar's eyes clouded, "I came from a Clan... I was deputy, ready to be leader, but an ambitious cat named Shadowheart took over, so many were killed, to much blood... to much death... I decided to run away to start my own clan..."
All Silvercloud could do was nod, tension and sadness filled the air as the 3 she-cats walked to the camp. It was quite big, caves filled out in stone walls; and a big tree was in the dead center of the camp.
"This is my camp, you are welcome to stay or leave as you want. Until you feel Moonstone can live by herself. I have other cats here too, but they are out hunting, they left me to think, they knew I would go out to look for this kit. But now I know it's true, your kit is detined to be in my Clan.
"Mommy? Where are we?" Moonstone suddenly asked.
"My kit... YOU, are home."
