Eclipse opened her eyes and looked up. ''Starclan seems, awfully quiet. ''She thought as she stared up at the glistening stars above, each in its individual space in the sky. Her blue-grey eyes shone dully as her ears pressed down, spine arched. "What?" She gasped in disbelief as a star-pelted tom flashed in her sight range, disappearing deeper into the forest.

''"Keep up. There isn't much time left for you." ''The spirit's voice spoke softly. "''Hurry, Eclipse." ''She nodded back, keeping long but steady strides, hoping to keep up with the Starclan cat. She was running through large puddles, and her paws were covered in mud and dirt. She didn't care, this was more important than anything else.

Her heart pulsed loudly in her ears. "Why me?" Her eyes reflected the moonlit sky as the tom walked up to her, his clear brown eyes shone a tone of deep amber.

''He nodded, touching his nose to her forehead. "''Good luck, and may you succeed." ''His paws began to disappear in the wind. Soon, he was gone, and his star shone brightly in the sky once again. Eclipse snorted slightly, turning her head.

"It's like it was a prophecy." She rolled her eyes. "He could have told me more, told me what I need to do to save the clans." Then her ears perked upwards. "A quest. I'll be the guide!" She mewed trimphantly. "There's not much time." She stared at the sky. ''And I understand now. ''
