Forward

All right, this is for all of you who didn't read the first book. Actually, I personally don't blame you. Book 1 was slow and well, not as well written. Book 2 is, I promise, better. As for book 3...well, it's not written yet, so you'll just have to wait!


The book begins when MoonClan's medicine cat, Mousesky, is nursing the warrior Runningclaw (Mossstar's, MoonClan's leader brother) in her den, who came across a badger. After removing his tail, he is renamed Runningtail and moves into the elder's den because of his injuries that Mousesky cannot heal. During this ceremony, Dawnpaw recieves his warrior name of Dawntalon, and Bluemask moves to the nursery.

Icepaw, a MoonClan apprentice, was not seen for several hours, when she suddenly returns from hunting. Suspicious, Rainpaw and Flowerpaw decide to watching Icepaw to see if they can find what she is up to. This plan leads to several sleepless nights and no immediete results.

At the Gathering, TreeClan demands more land to feed their growing population. MoonClan refuses the offer, and CloudClan and SunClan backs MoonClan, while LightningClan stays silent. MoonClan prepares for war.

Mousesky takes Fuzzykit (now Fuzzypaw) on as an apprentice.

Rainpaw and Flowerpaw, still watching Icepaw, catch the apprentice entering a hole in the apprentice's den, which they find leads to a series of tunnels, and one large cavern. Inside the cavern, Icepaw meets Ashpaw of SunClan. Rainpaw and Flowerpaw stop this meeting immedietly, and bring Icepaw back to the surface.

Once there, they find that MoonClan is under attack by both TreeClan and LightningClan. The battle is stopped when Flowerpaw yells out the name, "Swiftclaw" while standing over her dead mentor's body. A cloud covers the moon, and both Mousesky and Rainpaw see not a cloud, but blood. Still shocked that the two other Clans killed in battle, and the sign from StarClan that they must leave, MoonClan was rudely escorted out of the territory, regrouping just behind the bordor, where they discover Mossstar's disappearence. The deputy, Wildmask, immedietly sets off into the now-enemy-territory to go and find Mossstar.

Rainface, the medicine cat from CloudClan, leads the homeless MoonClan to her own Clan with Mousesky in the lead. When Mousesky explains what happened to CloudClan's leader, Sandstar, she immedietly agrees to give them shelter, and to help them until they can regain their territory. Mousesky appoints Sandeyes as temporary deputy/leader to be in charge of the Clan, as "I am only a medicine cat and know nothing of the affairs of warriors."

Both Bluemask and Loudmask have their kits in CloudClan. The following day, one of Bluemask's kits, Dapplekit, joins StarClan.

Mousesky, along with the CloudClan medicine cats, Rainface and Leopardpaw, takes Fuzzypaw to the MoonStream, where she is officially accepted by StarClan. During this encounter, Mousesky sees Mossstar in her dreams. Mossstar, who is dead, tells Mousesky that Rainpaw must be sent to find Wildmask so that Wildmask can take over the Clan and lead them to victory over TreeClan and LightningClan.

Fuzzypaw, upon realizing that something was wrong with her mentor, runs back to the CloudClan camp and fetches Rainpaw, Mousepaw, Dawntalon, and Mothtalon to come and help. Mousesky takes Rainpaw aside and tells her of the death of Mossstar as well as the news given to her. Rainpaw sets off immedietly, with only the request to delay Mossstar's vigil for her. Mousesky announces, to both Clan's horror, Mossstar's death, and Rainpaw's quest.

Rainpaw meets a family of kittypets (Jay and Mint, and their children, Rose, Ant, and Olive) and takes shelter with them while carefully searching the forest for Wildmask. She suggests that they join MoonClan, and the cats agree, after considering, to try Clan life. By a chance encounter, the very next afternoon, Rainpaw comes across Wildmask, and becons her into the twoleg garden. The next morning, Wildmask and Rainpaw lead Jay, Mint, Rose, Ant, and Olive to the CloudClan camp, where they are renamed; Jay as a warrior (Jaywing), Mint as a pernament queen (Mintwish), and the kits as apprentices (Rosepaw, Antpaw, and Olivepaw). Also, Rainpaw and her littermates are given their warrior names (Rainsong, Scarbreath, Hawkeyes, and Flowereyes).

Wildmask becomes Wildstar, and announces that MoonClan will be attending the Gathering that night.

Icepaw (now Icehead) admits to bearing Ashpaw's kits. They are due to come any day now.

At the Gathering, Whildstar and Sandstar ask SunClan's leader, Thornstar, to fight with them if TreeClan and LightningClan push it thus far. Thornstar agrees that what the two Clans did was wrong, but decides not to fight for or against them.

TreeClan and LightningClan do intend to fight. Thus, Thornstar and the rest of SunClan leave. As planned, Rainface calls for StarClan to cover the moon if this battle was not their will. Mousesky adds that MoonClan would leave the Clans without a fight. No cloud was sent, and the battle began.

Kestrelstar, leader of TreeClan, kills Fuzzypaw in an unfair fight. Before Fuzzypaw dies, Mousesky honors her with her full medicine cat name, Fuzzypelt. Then, looking around for Kestrelstar, Mousesky climbs the Great Oak, where she thought she saw something stir. Either Kestrelstar or Skystar (leader of LightningClan) - it is never revealed whom, pushes Mousesky off the Great Oak, where she plummets to her death.

This is where Book 1 ended. Book 2 begins with a short prologue describing what happens at the end of this fatal gathering. After that, we move about 6 moons into the future.

Enjoy!
