Prologue

Lizardkit and Coralkit sneaked around the camp, past the nursery.

"Are you sure this is safe?" asked Coralkit, a kit with white paw and muzzle with pale orange fur. Lizardkit nodded, his white and grey head bobbing upwards. Coralkit looked up, and they saw a great Eagle hovering above.

"Duck!" Lizardkit squeaked. Coralkit crouched quickly, Lizardkit followed.

"Lizardkit! Coralkit!" A female's voice sounded from behind, and they looked back. Swiftbird, their mother, was racing towards them.

"Leafpelt! Nightfurystar!" She called for help as she crouched over her kits. Leafpelt, grey pelted, raced towards them, eyes wide. Nightfurystar, the pitch black leader, followed behind.

"Help, save us!" Lizardkit screeched. The Eagle dove down, its huge wings wide.

Nightfurystar jumped up at it, Leafpelt at the other side. They brought it down, together as clanmates would do.

And This is the story of Liardkit.
