Prologue
The full moon shone brightly on the forest. A faint breeze stirred the treetops, full of leaves as it was, normal for the middle of greenleaf. It ruffled the pelts of many cats as they were lightly padding through the forest in the direction of their camp.
A pretty light brown tabby looked worried as she padded behind two muscular warriors, each of them carrying a young kit in their mouth. The white warrior put down the kit, a brown tabby, for a heartbeat, only to pick it up better and continued walking.
„Birdflight", the kit wailed, „Where are we going? "
The tabby made her way between the two warriors and said: „Hush,Gorsekit. We're going to a new home. "
„But I don't want to go to a new home", the other kit, a tortoiseshell with white, cried, „Why don't we go to our old home?"
The she-cat bent her ears down, a sign of discontent and something else in her gentle amber eyes.
„Because we can't, Spottedkit. Our old home was taken away. But you will still have a warm nest and a place to play in ThunderClan, dear. "
She said nothing else to them. They were too young to understand their home was devastated, torn apart by Twolegs and never to be restored again. They were too young to survive the perilous journey that awaited SkyClan and their father, Cloudstar.
As the breeze grew stronger, Birdflight rose her look to the stars and sent a silent prayer to StarClan. Please, take care of Cloudstar and SkyClan. I know I will never see them again, but let them find a new home somewhere. . .
