Greetings, and welcome to Colorful Bliss, sequel to Colorful Sky! If you clicked on this and are like, "ok wat is goin on" then allow me to introduce you to the story of the Colorful Prophecy. This involves five special cats: Redfur of SkyClan; Yellowglint of WindClan; Greeneyes of ThunderClan; Bluepelt of RiverClan; and Blackfang of ShadowClan. While each of these cats must deal with their own personal issues, there's something bigger going on: the four Clans were forced to leave the lake. Colorful Sky ended with them arriving at SkyClan's territory. They are all weak and are forced to accept rogues and loners in their ranks. Now let the story continue...

Prologue

The brown tom lifted his head, drawing in a deep breath. He gazed about him, panicking for a moment. He wasn't in his den, in the gorge…

Then he remembered. I'm dead. He rose to his paws, smoothing down his ruffled fur and performing a quick groom. As he ran a moistened paw over one set of whiskers, he thought how he was in StarClan now. He looked at his paw pad, smooth and gray, not cracked and crusted like it had been in life. He was no longer feeble. His eyes were no longer milky. Even though he was no longer on earth, he felt alive.

"Treestar."

He spun around, finding himself face-to-face with Frecklewish and Cherrytail, his old companions. A purr rumbled from deep within the former SkyClan leader's throat. "Greetings," he meowed to the two she-cats.

Frecklewish dipped her head and Cherrytail murmured a hello, but they both looked troubled. "Follow us," Frecklewish said simply before she turned and bounded away, back through the undergrowth.

Treestar stretched and quickly followed their path, which was indicated by the trampled ferns and weeds. The three cats soon turned up in a clearing where a long line of starry cats sat before them. Treestar felt his stomach lurch as he recognized Leafstar, Sharpstar, Echosong, and Sparrowpelt, Cherrytail's brother, among the group.

"H- hello," the tom murmured shakily, lowering his head in front of each ancient cat. Then he sat down in between Frecklewish and Cherrytail, three facing four.

"Why have you summoned us all?" Cherrytail mewed, voice no longer raspy, and pelt no longer rough and patchy. Now she was as sleek and bright as Treestar recalled her to be in their younger years.

Leafstar's brown-and-cream tabby pelt bristled as she spoke. "As you know, the other four Clans discovered SkyClan recently, soon after your deaths."

Treestar nodded. "Yes," he agreed. "What a shame. I always wanted to meet the other Clans. Firestar and Sandstorm left soon before I was born, so I've never-"

"They must unite," Sharpstar interrupted, dark ginger tail twitching. Despite the irritation the rest of his body showed, his eyes twinkled as he gazed at his mate, Cherrytail. "SkyClan was originally never intended to be separated from the other four Clans."

"But none of us would be here if SkyClan wasn't where it is now," Cherrytail pointed out, looking like she wanted to reach forward and twine her tail with Sharpstar's.

Echosong frowned. "You're absolutely right," the silver tabby medicine cat meowed. "But the thing is, the five Clans were also always destined to reunite someday. Now that they have, everything should be in order."

Sparrowpelt flattened his ears and said somberly, "But things aren't in order."

Treestar tried not to stand and yowl in frustration. He swung his desperate green eyes toward Leafstar. "Leafstar, you came to me in a dream and told me to make the right choice for my new deputy. I chose Redfur, but I took too long to name him in place of Snakestripe! Now it's too late..." He ducked his head, feeling awful. "I've been taken too soon."

Leafstar's unwavering amber eyes caught Treestar when he looked up, and pulled him into her soothing aura. "Do not fret, Treestar. There's a reason you did not demote Snakestripe from second position."

Treestar didn't speak.

The brown she-cat blinked at him calmly. "You were scared of his reaction. Scared that his temper would cause an uprising throughout what few cats your Clan had left. Scared that Redfur wouldn't be able to handle it as new deputy, and would even be killed by Snakestripe due to jealousy. Am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong," Treestar admitted slowly. "It's all my fault."

Sharpstar stamped one front paw on the ground before him, making a little cloud of dust erupt around his flickering claws. "No, it's not," the tom insisted. "There's a reason we insinuated that you pick Redfur, and there's a reason you took our hints and chose him to lead SkyClan out of destruction."

Echosong lifted her chin and looked Treestar right in the eye. "That is reason is because, deep down, you know Redfur can handle it. You know you can trust Redfur to make the right decisions that will place his paws on the correct path."

Frecklewish gaped. She turned on Treestar, yellow eyes huge. "You see, Treestar? Everything will be alright."

Treestar shuffled his paws, tiny grass blades tickling his paw pads. "I hope so…"

Unhurriedly, the brown tom craned his neck until he was staring up at the starry sky. Those weren't real stars. That wasn't a real sky. It was just a sky in the sky. And, Treestar knew, he was now part of this sky, one of the stars cats down on earth look up to each night. Treestar knew that, now, he was out of the question. He could only pray that Redfur would realize his true potential and make the correct choices, and lead SkyClan out of the fire Snakestripe would willingly bring them into.

If you submitted an OC, thanks! As you can see from the allegiances, all of them will make an appearance in the story. See you at chapter one!
