The Stream

"A new presence" Silvermask closed her eyes, "He's coming"

"Silvie... maybe you should take over as alpha again? I might mess this up..." Sunfire looked at her paws.

"Are you sure?" Silvermask dipped her head.

Sunfire grinned and looked up. "You bet."

"I take command of Moonriver to this day" Silvermask howled.

She turned to Sunfire. "You wish to be Beta?"

Chessru emerged through the undergrowth.
He looked at them both blankly.

There was a flash of write light.

Sunfire nodded. "I would love to."
Kooneria clung to Chessru's back for dear life.

"Do not say aword. I will fetch the others. Go into the crack" There was a voice. Chessru turned to see a small black wolf.
Silvermasdk narrowed her eyes. "Why?"
"Otherwise you will die"

Kooneria was terrified. She shrank back on Chessru, trying to make herself as small as possible.
"Why?" Sunfire questioned. "You're gonna kill us or something?"

Don't take them all away, Neon. Don't take them all away or I shall be cross.

Well who don't you want me to take? Who's powerful enough to stand this?

"The darkness is coming" Neon said simply.

Featherkite cuddled up to Kooneria, equally scared. Chessru and Silvermask exchanged glances.

You needn't take anyone if the darkness never comes... right? It doesn't have to happen, Neon...

Sunfire looked skeptical but stood waiting for her alpha to speak.

I am the master of time. The darkness comes sooner. I must take the weak to my realm. The prophercy pups are the ones who can save us. My realm will just give us more time!

Silvermask looked back at the small black wolf.
"I do not understand"

The prophercy four will protect everyone but taking everyone to your realm will disrupt the flow of my playground. Don't make them go. If you push them any more I will take you to the void and talk to you there.

Sunfire stared at Neon. "Yeah... as Silvermask says, I'm skeptical and confused here. Explain yourself."

Apose! Seriously, The four will have enough to do - Fine, I'll take the four and teach them. And i'll bring them back to the same timeframe!

"I have come to show the four there destiny" Neon spoke at last.
Silvermask's eyes widened.
"You are the Shadow of Time?"

Fine, do that. I will hold the darkness off until they are ready.

Sunfire blinked. "What? What are you talking about?"

Silvermask looked back at Sunfire.
"This wolf saved me when I was younger. Told me if I died, a keypoint would be erased"

Neon nodded solemly.

Please try to hold him off!

Featherkite scrambled off Chessru's back.
"Come on Kooni"

Neon bowed her head and picked Kooneria up. There was a flash and the puppies were gone.
"I promise I will keep them safe" Another flash, Neon was gone.

Sunfire sighed.
"Brook's going to kill me when she realises someone else is training her puppy." she laughed. "Oh well. I hope this prophecy works out."

"Come on" Silvermask nudged Sunfire softly, "Anyone want to go hunting?"
Chessru nodded. "I'm starving!"

"Right," Sunfire nodded. "I'll follow you, alpha!" she grinned at her best friend.

Silvermask padded through the undergrowth. Chessru went behind Sunfire.

Kage growled as he found himself floating on the stream. Atop a plank. Yet, he was beside a shadowy black figure, without wings. It was patterned green, and Kage smelt power.
"Rawr!" Kage growled, trying to leap for it, but he found he couldn't.
"You broke the rules, time broke the rules" The shadowy figure hissed.
Kage didn't quite understand.
Then he was under the water.

Kage couldn't breath. He squirmed, and he pushed, but he couldn't.
He wanted to scream. But he couldn't.
He was drowning.

As Daybreak walked with Kiiroku swinning from his jaws, he saw a body on the surface of the water, and a shape on the otherside of the stream.
"Your drowning puppies?" Daybreak suddenly blurted out. The ghostly shape looked up.
'The Timeline needs correcting' The voice was rough, and sick sounding. Daybreak raised an eyebrow. Neon was cracking. Daybreak gave a snort, and flickered his tail.
"Okay then, so all of Silvermask's pups are to be dead?"
'Her first litter is meant to be dead' Neon growled hoarsly.
"First litter?" Daybreak rolled his eyes, "Your not saying your going to force her to have more pupies?"
'The Timeline is to be corrected' Neon repeated slowly, 'I am having help. Sunlit is correcting the lives of the Prophercy pups'
"Sunlit?" Daybreak muttered, flickering his ears irratbly, "Just go back to drowning pups Neon. It suits you"
He stalked off before she could protest.
