Warrior's Destiny

Prologue
A beautiful silver tabby she-cat was stalking a mouse. She could feel its heartbeat throb through the ground beneath her. The smell of it made her mouth water. The muscles in her hind legs tensed, waiting to pounce. Suddenly, images flashed through her mind, threatening to sweep her into their midst. She found herself standing in a hollow. She was surrounded by starry cats.

"Only Healers are meant to get dreams from the Tribe of Endless Hunting!" she protested.

"Your father is dead. He died of greencough moments ago," a dark brown she-cat mewed sympathetically.

"No! You're lying!" said the she-cat.

The other she-cat shook her head.

"We have a prophecy for you, Starshine."

A golden tom had stepped out from amongst the Tribe of Endless Hunting cat.

"Father!" she cried, running forward to bury her nose in his fur.

"You must listen to me, my kit. There is one under the bright moon who must set injustice ablaze..."

The cats were fast fading.

"I will interpret it, father!" Starshine cried. "Rest in peace."
