Prologue

"Gather around young kits. I see you've found the Marked, a group of cats with extraordinary powers…yes I know that they were banished from the Clans, but that doesn't mean their stories have been forbidden. Stop fidgeting Sedgekit, and let your sister relax. This is a long story, and I suspect you will all be tired by the end of it. It all begins back when the Clans were in the old forest, where even SkyClan once ruled…"

The brown tabby's eyes were narrowed as he looked between the two trees. He knew he could easily catch the sparrow that was flapping around. Patches of grass and ferns grew around where the sun reached down. Grubs and beetles were the favorites of sparrows, and the hunter was aware that food could be found in this spot.

One more step and the sparrow was caught between the tabby's claws. It struggled for a few heartbeats, squabbling in alarm as he nipped at it's neck. The tabby took a step back and purred in satisfaction at his most recent kill. This sparrow would help feed Riverspirit's kits, who were ready to become apprentices any day now. One of her kits had shown signs of being Marked, something that made his fur crawl in anticipation.

"That was well caught, Tigerpounce," a voice called from behind.

He whirled around to see a pale ginger she-cat grinning at him. She had a slender build about her, that told everyone she was a bit younger than him. But she would always snap at him when he told her that. She would say that she was only a few heartbeats younger than him.

"I'm sure that Meadowstar will give you an apprentice after that," she added when she approached him.

"I doubt it," Tigerpounce replied with a scowl. "She's never given me an apprentice, and I doubt she ever will." His tail lashed as he thought of how she'd glared at him when he showed off his powers. "She doesn't trust those who are Marked."

"Meadowstar is just being…careful," his sister murmured. "She must have a reason for avoiding the subject."

Tigerpounce rolled his eyes as he picked up the sparrow. Ironically his sister was named after the creature he'd just caught. But she never let others take advantage of her name. She had a strong will and the fight to prove it.

The two of them moved together until Sparrowflight found the spot where she'd hidden her fresh-kill. It was near Snakerocks, something that always made Tigerpounce's fur crawl. She wasn't afraid of Snakerocks, unlike most cats. Instead she used them to her advantage, hunting in spots where most cats would avoid. Once he'd picked up the rest of his catch, they returned to the camp that was their home.

Cats were milled around the clearing, sharing tongues or chatting about the days' events. Tigerpounce narrowed his eyes when he saw Meadowstar sitting under the Highrock. Her gaze searched the clearing as she watched her Clan. He knew she was looking for Rainkit, the future Marked of ThunderClan. The silver tabby kit was play-chasing her siblings, Crouchkit and Bluekit. Amusement gleamed within his eyes when he saw Rainkit's fur quiver in anticipation.

"This time I'm the leader!" she crowed as she pounced on Bluekit's back.

"That's enough you three," their mother meowed as she picked Rainkit up by the scruff. The little kit squealed in protest when she carried her back to the nursery. Tigerpounce blinked when his sister nudged him playfully.

"She could be your apprentice," Sparrowflight purred after dropping her prey on the fresh-kill pile.

"You know Meadowstar wouldn't do that," Tigerpounce replied when he followed her. "That would mean changing her personality, and outlook of the Marked."

Sparrowflight rolled her eyes and flicked her tail. "Well, sooner or later she'll have to give you an apprentice, and it should be Rainkit. She'll need special training if she's to use her powers properly."

Tigerpounce knew that she was right. The Marked were usually given to one who already had powers, as was tradition. But lately there had been rumors going around. His own worry told him that the Marked would soon no longer be needed. If that happened, than there was no telling what would happen to the Marked.


AN: So this is the beginning of my Marked Super Edition. I know I'm already working on Starry Skies, but I wanted to work on this as well. This story will have about forty to fifty chapters, seeing as it is a Super Edition. Anyways, please leave a review!

EDIT: I changed Mistpaw to a warrior-apprentice after realizing she was a medicine cat apprentice. All is well now.
