Hi guys, I adopted this story idea from warriorfanwriterforever and I really can't wait to see where it goes. I hope you guys enjoy this story as much as my others. This one is not part of my Path of Hearts series and is set generations after it, so there are the same Clans but just with different cats! R&R!

Prologue

Shadows stretched along the vast and dusty FireClan territory. A dark brown tom was taking long, deliberate strides with a light sandy she-cat quickly following behind him.

"Shadowstar, this is not a wise idea!" The she-cat hissed and tried to run in front of the tom. He only moved faster and ignored her. The she-cat let out an exasperated snarl.

"Neither I or your warriors will stand behind this!" She snapped and jumped back, startled when the tom whipped around. He brought his face directly in front of hers.

"If you don't, you face exile." He hissed and looked past her. "It also seems that my warriors are indeed loyal, more than I can say about you Birdstrike."

Birdstrike looked over her shoulder, and sure enough a group of WindClan warriors heading their way. She turned her attention back to the leader. His dark blue eyes were narrowed at her.

"I am loyal to you, but I do not agree with raiding FireClan! They barely survived Greencough, why in StarClan's name would we attack them?" She argued and then let her shoulders slump when he did not reply.

"If we lose warriors, their blood will be on your paws, Shadowstar."

A dark gray tom sat in a dusty clearing surrounded by burrows. His face was up towards the sky in the fading sunlight, but is eyes were closed as if deep in thought. A large red tom approached him with caution.

"Shrewflight? Are you speaking with StarClan?" He meowed quietly. He stopped just behind him. The gray tom shook his head.

"Just thinking, Sunstar." He replied and turned around to face the FireClan leader. His green eyes were filled with guilt.

"You have served your Clan to the best of your ability, and I'm sure StarClan commends your work as much as I am grateful for it." Sunstar said and sat down. Shrewflight nodded but the expression on his face told the leader that he did not believe his words.

"We have lost too many cats. I'm...going to my nest. Goodnight Sunstar." Shrewflight murmured and quickly went into his burrows that he shared with his apprentice.

"He'll just worry about this a little while longer and then soon get over it." Sunstar smiled at his mate's voice. The beautiful dark brown she-cat padded over to him, her light blue eyes shining with love.

He purred and nuzzled the top of her head affectionately.

"I know. What are you doing up?" He asked with a laugh. She rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm not a kit; I can stay up as long as I want." She meowed and licked his cheek. He nodded and pulled her close to him.

"I love you, Finchsong." Sunstar meowed, but his words fell on deaf ears. His mate was focused on something outside of camp.

"Do you smell that?" She whispered and sniffed the air. He followed suit and scented the air. WindClan? He stood up and headed towards the entrance of their camp. He was immediately met with silhouettes of two long-legged wiry cats. Shadowstar strode into the camp with his deputy Birdstrike right behind him.

Sunstar locked gazes with Shadowstar. There was something about the tom that made him wary, but he decided to show respect until shown he wasn't worthy of it. Sunstar dipped his head in greeting.

"Hello Shadowstar. What brings you here?" He asked politely. The dark brown leader swept his eyes around the camp as his deputy Birdstrike approached.

"We came to see how your Clan was faring after your bout. Hello Finchsong." Shadowstar replied quietly. Sunstar didn't feel comfortable and stepped slightly in front of his mate.

"Looks like you're a bit touchy. She seems much better now." Shadowstar continued. Finchsong raised her head in acknowledgement.

"I know that isn't your purpose here. So tell me the truth." Sunstar said. Shadowstar narrowed his eyes at him.

"The truth is that your Clan is weak, and all the other Clans know it. You need a strong ally to help hunt for you and protect you." The WindClan leader told them and lashed his tail. The WindClan scent grew stronger as more warriors appeared. Sunstar almost visibly grimaced.

"If you're suggesting that I give up some of my Clan's territory, then you have no place here." Sunstar growled. Birdstrike had a worried look on her face.

"Maybe I should convince you? WindClan! Attack!" Shadowstar yowled and leapt at him. Sunstar dodged him and yowled. "FireClan!"

His warriors tumbled out of their dens, but in the back of his mind he knew that they were hardly any match against them. He roughly shoved Shadowstar and brought his paw down to pin him, but the leader rolled over and nearly flipped him off his feet.

As regained his footing, Shadowstar had disappeared. Sunstar wildly looked around in confusion until he was nearly tackled into by some young warrior. Probably trying to show that he's brave. Foolish kit.

He easily defended himself by the younger warrior's swift but uncoordinated blows until he heard a screech that nearly stopped his heart. He turned his head and searched the crowd until he came upon a limp body on the ground with Shadowstar beside it.

"Finchsong, no!"

Sound familiar? You guys can submit warriors for all other Clans other than FireClan (unless you have something you really want in FireClan) so either PM me or write it in a review! Just put a description and/or personality and if they have family and such. Thanks!
