-prologue-
"You have given me the most beautiful kits in all the clans"the grey tabby tom settled down on the palm leaf and moss nest with his mate.
"What should we name them my love?" the desertclan leader asked without looking up at his mate. He had ideas for name but he wanted to hear hers first.
The brown she cat looked down at her kits all but one had their fathers pelt color,
Palmheart smiled at her mate, "this one" the dusty brown queen gestured with her tail
To a small dark grey she kit with a lighter grey tail.
"This one will be ravenkit for her pelt reminds me of raven feathers" the queen stared fondly at her first born kit with admiration and love.
The desertclan leader nodded his head in agreement "that is a wonderful name for her" he lowered his head to lick between the she kit's ears.
"The one that looks you i want to name her Hawkkit" the newly named hawkkit twitched her ears as she suckled, it was as if she truly agreed with her name. "I was thinking Dustkit for her, but why Hawkkit?" the queen looked at her dark brown kit trying to figure out a reason to name her Hawkkit.
"She looks like she will become an amazing warrior and i want to give her a strong name"
The she kit stopped suckling and tried wobbling her way to her father, she didn't make it very far with her tiny shaky legs. When she stopped mid journey she let out a loud mewl that even startled her parents, her father looked at his mate with a glint of amusement in his amber eyes
"So what was that about not naming her Hawkkit?" he purred as his mates only reply was a sigh of defeat, picking up his tiny daughter carefully by the scruff and placing her back at her mother's belly. "What shall we name the last one?" he stared at his son with a feeling of pride swelling in his chest, "we should name him Snakekit he looks like he will be a fine hunter in the future"
The little tom simply stopped suckling and curled up between his siblings and fell asleep.
"Well i should leave you four to get some rest, i will see you in the morning before dawn patrol ok?" his mate nodded and the long haired grey tom touched noses with his mate before exiting the tunnel the nursery was in.
"Adderstar wait i must speak with you" the tom turned his head to see the white and silver medicine cat hurriedly padding towards him.
"After your kits were born i received a message from our ancestors" the mollie had a serious look in her eyes, "so they finally decided to speak to us again?"
The medicine cat rolled her eyes "i can't believe you, our leader has such little faith in our warrior ancestors" the tom watched as the brief moment of amusement in her eyes dissipate like dew in the hot desert sun. "listen now Iguanastar, this will affect our clan greatly. Good or bad i cannot surely tell, starclan speaks in irritating riddles." She sat down and curled her tail over her paws,
" well what is it already?!" the tom lashed his tabby striped tail in irritation
The mollie took a deep breath
"When the hawk's talons turns to thorns and the raven turns to mist time will be short and the sands will turn red"
The leader had a confused look on his face but no words could come out of his mouth, he dipped his head to his medicine cat as she turned away. 'Why does my family have to be involved with this hare brained prophecy?' he thought angrily. The powerful grey tabby flexed his claws and dug them deep into the packed earth, he stared at the nursery tunnel and thought determinedly 'i swear whatever the future hold i will always protect my mate and kits'
He longed to be in there again curled up with his new family but decided that he shouldn't bother his already exhausted mate.
Hesitantly he made his way to the leaders tunnel he needed to sleep on this prophecy and maybe, just maybe his dreams would help him this time.

Let me explain something about these clans and their territories and traits i want them to be more in tune with their respective territories and ye
Desertclan: their camp is surrounded by yucca trees and fortified with tumble weeds and bracken from the unclaimed territory in which they hunt and gather herbs.
They sleep under ground because they believe they would be safer from coyotes and dogs that roam during the night. They also have above ground dens in case the tunnels flood during cases of hard rain, they are short but muscular bodies that help them run when hunting in the desert fields.
They have a rank of warriors called brutes that are more broad shouldered and muscular. They help keep the hunting patrols and regular patrols safe while they are out. They are always in the first wave of any battle and are a force to be reckoned with.
And hard black pads that resist the hot ground and loose rocks, they are able to run faster and longer than any of the other clans
Traditions: the leader wears the feathers from their first killed bird as leader, it is said to bring the new leader luck and guidance throughout their leadership and are buried with those feathers.
Apprentice traditions: new apprentices are required to build up their endurance by running around the whole territory three times with their mentors before each training session. Their warrior assessment consists of all the apprentices fighting a coyote they can either try to kill it or wound it enough to scare it off. If done successfully they are made warriors, if one of them dies the dead apprentice takes a warrior name up to starclan.
Bushclan: their territory lies northwest of desertclans and is heavily fortified by redwood and oak trees and juniper bushes. Bushclan cats are experts in hunting in the undergrowth although cannot run as fast or as long as desertclan cats they are skilled climbers and can balance on even the tiniest of branches. Their camp is in a clearing surrounded by tall redwood trees and bracken and thorn bushes.
Traditions: for their warrior assessment apprentices must climb to the very top branch of the tallest redwood tree and successfully make it down.
Leader tradition: After gaining their nine lives from the shining cave they must then carve a fallen branch from a redwood tree and their medicine cat must weave the bark that was stripped off into a circlet that the leader must wear every full moon.
Valleyclan: their territory lies east of desertclan's and is guarded by canyons that tower over valleyclan's territory they have made their camp in the center of the valley it is guarded by thorn and gorse bushes tightly woven together.
Like desert clan they have hard pads that are accustomed to the hard ground of the canyon walls and the hard earth of the valley, the have long legs and broad shoulders but their running skills are evenly matched by the skills of desertclans, they are very skilled hunters, they are fearsome in battle with their long claws .
Traditions: newly made apprentices are made to climb the steep canyon walls to build up their strength . at their warrior assessment apprentices have to each find and hunt a peacock and wear one of their feathers as proof as well as bring back the kill. New leaders have to search and successfully kill a vulture or an eagle and wear its feathers throughout their whole leadership.
