Prologue

During my journeys of the other side, I discovered the most shocking secret for any cat, kittypet, tribal, and clan cats alike. I had known that the earliest ancestors of the cat began in Africa, but the beginning of clan hood is still unknown, however after going through the gate I saw the truth.

My friends, ancestors of the living, I have traced your ancestry back to the start, a murky time with conspiracies and lies, but what I will recount will be the revelation and perhaps the key for all.

I will be here always, Rock.

"Disturbing is it not Thunder?" meowed Wind.

"That? I don't know, but if his account is accurate, I fear this age will fall." Thunder replied.

"My question is what course of action we should take!" spat Shadow.

"Patience, I believe the others got the message to." River yawned.

"Others?" questioned Shadow, "What others!"

"We aren't alone in this world." River replied monotonously.

A quiver in the brush nearby sent Thunder and Wind a chill. River twitched his ears and Shadow growled. A black and white head appeared revealing it to be Midnight. Unusually, Midnight was matted and streaked full of mud and dirt. Her eyes were frantic and she began to speak in mouthfuls of gibberish. Finally, she had calmed herself down and spoke slowly and delicately.

"Rock is no more."

Confused looks morphed into frightened faces, Thunder was especially looking exasperated. Another rustle nearby made Shadow leap in terror.

"So I am to late to tell the news?" laughed a cat.

"Mad cat, I told you to leave, run when you had the chance." Midnight hissed.

"Who is it?" Shadow roared.

"You don't recognize me?" More maniacal laughter, "Its Sol got it."

With a swift lunge, Sol leapt at the four cats, hitting a severe blow to River.

"You-you creature-"

"Of course." Sol yelped.

"Rock said the truth, my question is do you, or rather, did you know?" River whispered.

"Oh yes I knew, but I never needed to give the information."

"What information," Shadow hissed, "Rock didn't send anything yet, what is there to speculate and question if the information isn't there?"

"He will. He has."

Thunder looked carefully at Sol, "Sol, you know to much to risk anything, this is why it is necessary to kill you," looking now at Wind and Shadow,"Kill him."

Just then, a beam of light flashed down and an image of an orange tabby shined, Rock's voice being omitted across the field.

My friends, here I now will show what I saw and reveal what I uncovered. Before we continue on there is one thing I must state, background information. Here we begin in A.D. 121, yes I know confusing twoleg words but bare strong. The glorious city of Rome during the Pax Romanus of the Roman Empire. This tabby we see here, began everything you will see then, but also the clans and tribes. This cat, created the first form of a Starclan.
