Prologue:
"Kestrelstar! Kestrelstar!" Lilypad shouted.
"What is it?" Kestrelstar mewed as she walked in.
"I've received a prophecy: Thunder will send a minnow, and it will know that it will belong in the river. The minnow will share her plan of return, and when the blood of battle arrives, the minnow will go back to thunder, and will live the life of mice and peace. The minnow will battle between love, and she will know that rivers are too harsh for a minnow, and she will know that the stream is where her heart belongs, the stream of thunder."
Kestrelstar stood quietly for a moment. "This prophecy, I believe, speaks about a minnow from ThunderClan," she began carefully. "But, eventually, the minnow will go back to ThunderClan? And the minnow will be torn between her two loves, one in this clan, and one in ThunderClan?"
Lilypad nodded her white head. "I think that the 'minnow' is a cat from ThunderClan, possibly called Minnowkit? And she will be torn between her love, like you said, in ThunderClan and her love in RiverClan. I'm guessing that when there is a battle with ThunderClan, Minnowkit will turn on RiverClan and fight for ThunderClan instead. A battle has blood, right? That's where it all fits. Let me tell you the prophecy again in a clearer way. ThunderClan will send Minnowkit, and Minnowkit will know that she belongs in RiverClan, for the time being. Minnowkit will share her plan of return to ThunderClan. Perhaps she will tell this to a good and trusted friend or to her littermate, or littermates if they come searching for her. When battle arrives, Minnowkit will go back to ThunderClan. The last part talks about her motivation, I guess. Minnowkit will have a future mate here and a future mate in ThunderClan. Maybe her future mate here will be a kit called Riverkit, and there will be a kit in ThunderClan called Streamkit. Minnowkit will discover that Riverkit is too harsh or too bossy. Then, as it makes sense, Minnowkit will go to ThunderClan and go back to Streamkit. Streamkit of ThunderClan."
Kestrelstar looked at Lilypad. Then she finally spoke. "There seems to be a new litter of kits that will soon be arriving in ThunderClan, based on what Riverstar said at the gathering two quarter moons ago. The queen's name was Roseberry, I think. Minnowkit will be one of Roseberry's first litters. Right now, it's the half moon. Go with Daisyfoot to the medicine cat gathering. The other medicine cats will be waiting for you."
Lilypad dipped her head and went to gather Daisyfoot.
They soon arrived at the Moontree. The Moontree was glowing at its full height. The tree was shining so brightly that the cave was glowing with a shimmering light. Pinesong and Woodwillow were there, but Echotail wasn't there yet.
"I guess I'm not so late after all," Lilypad thought cheerfully.
"Pheasantkit is such an amazing yet-to-be medicine cat!" Woodwillow was bragging. "She already knows half of the herbs and what they do! Pheasantkit is so handy." Woodwillow lifted his head as Lilypad and Daisyfoot showed up.
"Hello," the two toms said happily.
"Now," Pinesong said. "We just need Echotail to show up. I heard she has a new apprentice, since Fuzzyrose died in that forest fire. She was a good cat, I'll tell you that. Echotail is so old! It will be sad for her to start all over!"
"I hope that this new apprentice will be as good as Fuzzyrose," Woodwillow mewed.
"And he is!" Echotail raced down the slope with a cream colored tom with brown flecks.
Echotail stopped and almost skidded into the Moontree. She was getting old, but she still had the personality of a kit, and her voice was the same as an apprentice's. She raced out of the cave and hastily mewed,
"Everyone, this is Ryepaw." Ryepaw dipped his speckled head. "He's my new apprentice, and he is Fuzzyrose's niece. He's bound to have the same skills as her, and I think that he's already proved that."
Every medicine cat purred with delightfulness. Ryepaw puffed out his chest with pride.
"Anyone have news?" Woodwillow asked.
"I do!" Lilypad called out the same time as every cat. She stepped up and said,
"Woodwillow, you go first, and if it's all right with everyone I'd like to go next."
Everyone nodded.
"I received a prophecy today," Woodwillow announced. "It went like this: Everyone knows that Red is the color of wind. It will come racing down the slope to join us from Thunder. When blood from Wind and Thunder is spilled, Red Wind will blow in the other direction, turning on Wind. He will take Starling to follow his path, and Thunder will be their destination." Every cat was silent. Lilypad was baffled. It was almost the same as her prophecy, and by the looks on Pinesong and Echotail's faces they were having a similar situation. Woodwillow continued. "I believe that there will be a ThunderClan kit, one of Roseberry's first litter, who will become Redkit. He will join WindClan, and then go back to ThunderClan. He will take one kit of our newest litter, Starlingkit, I believe, and they will go back to ThunderClan together, as mates."
Every cat nodded in agreement.
"That's all I have to say," Woodwillow finished. "You can go now, Lilypad."
Lilypad nodded her head and began carefully.
"My news is almost the same as your news," Lilypad repeated and explained her prophecy. Every cat agreed. "That's all that I have to say for now. Echotail, you can go now."
Echotail looked dumb-founded. She seemed to have a similar prophecy, too.
"Well," she began in a hesitant voice. "My prophecy is almost the same, like Lilypad said. It went like this: Thunder will send Fire, who dazzles the Duck. Shadow will welcome her, mostly the Duck. They will rise in a storm that will behold battle's name, and then Duck and Fire will take their rightful place back and safe in Thunder. I believe that 'fire' is the littermate of Redkit and Minnowkit, who is called Firekit. She will do the same, come to ShadowClan and when battle comes, Firekit will go back to ThunderClan taking one of our newest litter, Duckkit. Duckkit, Goosekit and Shortkit, his littermates, will be apprenticed in two moons. This can't work out. I mean, three kits of the same litter all going to different clans? Won't they miss ThunderClan?"
Just then, Pinesong stepped forward. "I have received a prophecy about these three kits. This is the prophecy: The rose's berry will have fire, minnow, and red. Red is the color of wind, of course, so that's where he'll go. Fire lights up the darkest shadow, so the shadows will be her home. Minnows belong in the river, so she'll go to her true home. When blood is spilled and the ground turns red, the kits, now having earned a true name of honor, will come back to thunder with secrets never to be told and two new clanmates yet to be shown. This prophecy was hard for me to interpret, but now that you have shared your prophecies, mine makes sense now. Our new queen, Roseberry, will have three kits, Minnowkit, Firekit, and Redkit. Firekit will join ShadowClan, Redkit will join WindClan, and Minnowkit will join RiverClan. When the time is right, they will come back after a battle and they will come back with Starlingkit and Duckkit. But by then they will be warriors. That's what a name of honor is, right? None of them could be medicine cats, because they have mates. There's only one thing about this that I don't like. The three might spill out the secrets of the other clans, right? No clan should be accused of cheating, right? I'm not directing exactly on ThunderClan, because the three might tell the other clans ThunderClan secrets, also."
"Well," Woodwillow started. "In your prophecy, it says 'secrets never to be told', so I guess we're safe."
The other medicine cats nodded, while Lilypad stood quietly, slightly nodding.
"But what can we do about the kits going to different clans?" she called out.
Pinesong stood up, preparing to leap into Large Mouth, the entrance to the cave where the Moontree is.
"I will try to stop the kits from leaving ThunderClan. If they do escape, you have to make sure that they are going to stay for the shortest time possible. We don't want clans loosing clanmates, do we?"
All of the medicine cats gave murmurs of agreement.
"Well," Echotail started. "Let's get into this cave so we can dream the dreams that StarClan send us. All of the cats moved into the cave.
"Please send me a sign that Pinesong is right," Lilypad gave a silent plea to StarClan as Daisyfoot followed her into the cave, looking thoughtful, as if Daisyfoot was thinking about the prophecies.
Lilypad and Daisyfoot climbed the tree with the other medicine cats and lay down to sleep. She finished her plea.
"Please let the three kits be safe and not travel to other clans. This could put all four clans in danger! Big trouble will come to all
Chapter One:
"Pass it here, Minnowkit!"
"No, give it to me! Redkit's a slow slug!"
"No, Firekit is!"
"I'll give it to Snowykit, if you don't mind!"
Minnowkit's only gray paw kicked the moss ball to the black and white kit.
"Ha!" Snowykit yowled. "Hey, Meadowkit, I bet you a couple of mouse tails that you can't catch this moss ball!"
"Can, too!" Meadowkit argued.
Snowykit flung the moss ball into the air. Meadowkit gave an enormous leap and caught the moss in his mouth, where his strong jaws shattered most of it. Every kit gasped and mewled with amusement. Even Mousewing, Meadowkit's mother, was gasping with surprise. All of the warriors were staring back at the nursery with eager looks on their faces, even when some of the faces were half-way covered with prey.
Roseberry quickly grabbed the moss ball, clearly not wanting any more attention drawn towards the nursery.
"All right, kits, that's enough!" Roseberry mewed. "Come with me, Firekit, Minnowkit, and- Hey! Don't you try to sneak away, Redkit! It's naptime!"
All three kits started to mewl with complaint. "But it's only sun-high!" Minnowkit whined.
"Yeah," Redkit mewed crossly. "We haven't even eaten yet!"
Roseberry's eyes grew wide with surprise. Every cat ate when they woke up, but that didn't matter to her kits. Minnowkit didn't mind at all, to be exact. She thought that breakfast was at sun-high, because that's when the litter usually ate their morning meal. Roseberry gestured with her tail for the three kits to go and eat something.
"Come on!" Firekit said. "Let's go!"
She raced towards the fresh-kill pile, with Redkit almost in front of her, and Minnowkit was awkwardly following lifting her paws high as she half-ran, half-limped over to the fresh-kill pile. Minnowkit spotted Roseberry eyeing her with concern in her rosy gaze.
"I'm swimming!" Minnowkit tried to explain. "I'm swimming!"
Roseberry's gaze turned soft with amusement and admiration.
"Oh, I didn't know that you were from RiverClan, Minnowkit!" Firekit's voice squeaked from the other side of the camp. "You only just opened your eyes yesterday, and now you hate ThunderClan! You haven't even seen the territory yet, and we don't know the camp! Only the fresh-kill pile and the nursery!"
"Hey," Minnowkit said. "I opened my eyes at a half-moon and so did you! Plus, I know the entire camp! I even went in the warriors den!"
Minnowkit wrinkled her nose as Firekit wriggled out a lizard that had been crushed under a rock.
"Oh," Minnowkit teased back, feeling playful. A fake sneer entered her squealing voice. "I guess that you're thinking about going to ShadowClan, since you're afraid that they're coming to get you at night!"
Firekit pretended to look hurt then hurled herself at Minnowkit with an ear-splitting screech.
They rolled all around the fresh-kill pile in a ball of fluff, making sure to keep their claws sheathed.
Redkit raced toward them at rapid speed and shoved himself between them, showing off his sharp teeth and thorn-like claws glistening in the sun-light.
"I am leader of ShadowClan!" he yowled. "I, Redstar, will destroy your puny ThunderClan camp!"
"Not if we stop you first!" Minnowkit growled.
She felt pure rage running through her, and the urge to rip flesh, feeling the blood between her claws and the muscle in her teeth that glowed with the sun.
So this is what it feels like to be a warrior, Minnowkit thought.
She threw herself at "Redstar", kicking with her hind legs as if she was drowning in water and this was her attempt to get out.
Firekit joined in and together they started swiping at Redkit until he pretended to whimper and said in the most fearful voice he could, "I give up!" although his eyes were twinkling with joy and mock terror, his voiced was cracked with real fear. Minnowkit raised her head proudly.
"What shall I do to make up for this?" Redkit said, his eyes twinkling with fake respect.
"Hmmm," Firekit said. "You shall bring us three mice every day. You have to bring us at least one squirrel every day."
"Also," Minnowkit pitched in, her voice like a leader's. "You have to follow us around and pick burrs out from our pelt whenever they show up. If we get ticks stuck in our fur, you have to do the mouse bile on us."
"Oh! I have another one!" Firekit shouted. "Bring the elders fresh-kill every day. And fight everything or anything that gets in our way and the elder's way."
"That would be nice," Echomint and Shellforest muttered. "Come here and let us tell you a story."
"Wee!" the three kits yowled, pretending to be swimming like Minnowkit as they headed over to the elder's den leaving their game behind them.
"This story is about how the four clans came here…"
