7 Chapter 7

Pyropaw glared at the new intruding cat and felt his claws slide out and grip into the earth below him, his dark grey claws clashing with the blue and green earth. His sister, Flarepaw, was hissing, the tiniest amount of smoke trailing from her whiskers. How dare this cat burst into the gathering and demand respect and declare that he will rule the forest!!! Pyropaw could feel the tip of his tail starting to heat up. His mentor Nightwatcher flicked his face with her tail. "Your flames are showing, calm down." Pyropaw did as she asked and the heat in the tip of his tail went down. Suddenly a flash of water zipped past his ear. He stared at it startled, then gasped. Surrounding the Clans, separating them from Nightstar, was a raging wall of water. Pyropaw whipped his head around, Shellstar was glowing. Literally GLOWING. His eyes were bright white, the glow turning his fur a majestic white-blue. His big white wings were flashing in the moonlight and a pair of antenna seemed to be sprouting from his head.

Nightstar took a step back, in obvious shock. "GET OUT," Shellstar growled. ¨You are more powerful than I thought¨ Nightstar confessed. ¨But still pretty easy¨ he said with a smile. He rose in the air, wings larger than a horse and he turned to the size of a tree. ¨In my old territory, we were called dragons¨ he said with a grin. He flew around the island, his sharp jagged teeth flashing in the moonlight. After circling the island multiple times, he landed with a thump on the island floor. "You Clans are quite interesting, more powerful than others. Hmmmmm." he looked intently at the horrified gazes of Shellstar, Emberstar, and Sagestar who were on the edge of the island. "I will not kill you all yet... I want to see if you have what it takes to come up against me." He finished his sentence with a casual smirk and disappeared.
