Well, hi there. :D

And that's all of substance that I have to say. xD

The Prologue

Many have asked me about my journey. They've asked me to tell the whole thing, every single little detail. I always shake my head, saying that now wasn't the time. It's not that I've forgotten about it. Oh no, quite the opposite. I re-live it every single day. Little things like a tree, or a flower, of just the look of happiness on my kit's face are that's needed for me to have a flashback from that journey.

Many have asked why I am reluctant to tell them the story. I tell them that I have reasons for all I do. Being of a higher rank, they accept this. But, I can still feel the impatience burning through them, wanting me to tell them. I understand, given the rumors that have spread. Of course, only a couple of cats, including my mate, know the true story.

You see, there are a couple of reasons to explain this silence on my part. The first is that there is more to this story than me. Perhaps I was one of the leading characters, but does not mean the story belongs to me and to me only. The second is that there are somethings that I still want to keep to myself. Perhaps it is selfish of me to do so, but I do it anyways. The third and final is that I know that some of you will not accept this story. Why? Because it shows a side of me that none of you have ever seen.

Just a couple of sunrises ago, the couple of cats that were with me on that journey appeared out of the blue. It was a huge surprise, given our age and how far away they have come from. It was a very happy reunion, and all I could think about was just how lucky I was. Throughout the whole time we talked about how life was going on and all that. Just last night, one of them asked me if I told the Kingdom the story yet. I answered that I had not. Another asked why. And I answered with that I didn't feel that it was right to tell the it in just my point of view. My mate pointed out that everyone from the journey was here and that now was the best time to finally tell everyone. So, we all decided to tell the story.

A little bit of warning, before I begin. There are many things that many make you think differently of me. However, remember that I was young and that I now can see the mistakes. This may also make you think differently of my dear mate. But, please remember that she was young as well, so please put nothing against her. Many things will be covered, so things that you perhaps do not want to hear. A couple are love, betrayal, change, loss, passion, jealousy, courage, and cowardice.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I always knew this day was coming. I knew someday every thing would spill out of me like a flowing river. I do not want to be remembered by my Kingdom name. No, I've always hated it. It doesn't reflect who was I was growing up. My true name is not Asher. No, it will never be Asher. Instead I want to be remembered as a ThunderClan warrior. A warrior whose brother was a medicine cat, whose mother died, whose father is unknown, and that had to go on a journey to save his home. His true home. The home that took him in.

My name is Ashheart of ThunderClan, and this is the story of the rising of the Lost Clan.

And so it all began...

So, enjoy, R&R, and see you soon!
