Swift Clan

Star Clan and the Strange Dream

A/N These are VERY OLD.  I mean from like three or four years ago.

The breeze was cool, the air warm. The scent of prey waifed into Quickpaw's mouth. He crouched, seeing a furry brown movement in the undergrowth. Suddenly the smell of a cat interrupted his hunting. He hissed and flexed his legs. It was a foul smell, and he recognized the Thunder Clan stench quite easily. The scent was strangely familiar. It came to his mind. Of course he had smelled this smell at a gathering, it was Thunder Clan's former leader, Firestar. He could sense icy green eyes staring at him from a nearby bush. 

"Firestar? Is that you?" Quickpaw mewed uncertainly. 

"Yes, Quickpaw, it is I." He turned to face the voice. "Don't be afraid, you are with Star Clan." the voice mewed. 

Out of the bushes, ten other cats emerged. He only recognized one of them. 

"Firestar... what am I doing in Star Clan? Am I dead? Am I-"

 "Be patient, apprentice! All will be explained," a soft voice purred.

Quickpaw turned around, and directly behind him, was a bluish-grey cat. 

"My name is Bluestar." the cat meowed. 

She had an air of confidence, although Quickpaw could sense love and kindness. In her eyes was a glint of excitement. 

"So what am I doing in Star Clan?" Quickpaw questioned, shivering. 

"You are dreaming," rasped yet another voice. "Raggestar's my name." the black-grey cat mewed. 

"Oh! I've heard of you! You're from Shadow Clan, right?" Quickpaw said eagerly. 

He nodded. 

Quickpaw jumped and the fur on his neck bristled as Bluestar yowled, "Raggedstar, Bramblestar, Firestar, Pinestar, Silverstar, Redstar, Branchstar, Icestar, Leafstar, and Thunderstar! Do you agree on my choice?" 

A clear agreement of 'yes' came from every direction. 

"Thunderstar, this is Quickpaw. Quickpaw, this is the very first Thunder Clan Leader."

 In awe, Quickpaw mewed, "I'm happy to meet you." 

"Quickpaw, you might not understand this at first, but Star Clan will help you. One new, four old, five clans, the fifth started by the swiftest paw near and far with the old loner's kits." 

As in thought, Quickpaw sat stone still. 

"I see you already understand. A great danger is coming, one that has never been seen before. All the clans will be destroyed. You are to start the fifth clan. You will call it Swift Clan." ​
