A/N: To all my fans out there, here is another crossover! And again it's another HTTYD crossover! But this time, it's with my favourite book series; Warriors.
This is just a prologue. Nothing big. But, the next chapter is where the sparks fly.
Enjoy!

This is LightningClan.
We are one of the three brave Clans filled with warriors who follow the warrior code and fight for every scrap of meat they can find.
Sounds great, huh?
There are four Clans sharing this forest—
What's that? Oh, yes, I can already hear you saying, "But you just said that you were one of three Clans!"
Well, that is both right and wrong.
You see, the other two original Clans are DuskClan and ReedClan. My mother says that there used to be another Clan; IceClan, but she won't tell me what happened to them. Apparently it's a 'long story'. It makes sense, I mean, you can force me to eat rabbit or play with the others, but you can't teach me about the Clans' history or y'know, anything important…
Anyway, I'm getting off track. Let me tell you about LightningClan!
Our camp is in the middle of our tree-filled territory and is open at the top so we can see the sky. We LightningClan cats like to watch the weather. There is an abundance of different prey all year round apparently, and there is also a stream that flows from ReedClan into our territory.
So, we have fishing, hunting and a charming view of the sun as it is swallowed by the ground.
The only problem is the borders.
The other Clans share their borders with the Gathering Place or the Moonfalls, but, no, we have to share one of ours with FlameClan.
This Clan just showed up one day—apparently they're not even a real Clan; just a bunch of cats who copy everything we do and invite themselves to Gatherings.
But, this is only what I've been told; they showed up seasons before I was born. The only cat who can remember a time before FlameClan was in the forest is our old medicine cat, Mistwhisker.
Anyway, FlameClan is always picking fights, whether they be over prey or just for the fun of it. And to our dismay, they don't follow the warrior code.
You know the rule that states, "An honourable warrior does not need to kill other cats…"
Yeah…they don't follow that.
Or the other ones.
At all.
Our Clan probably has the least warriors because of the constant attacks. Everyone, especially us, wants FlameClan gone. That's why, one day I'll get out there and beat them! Because taking down one of them is everything around here.
An apprentice is sure to get me at least noticed.
Warriors are tougher. Taking down of them would definitely impress a she-cat.
A senior warrior? Important. Two words in their name; twice the status.
And there's the deputy, Vixenstep. Only Oakstar or our deputy, Scorchfoot, would take her on. She's nasty and cunning and would easily kill a mere warrior.
But, the ultimate cat is the one no one has ever seen. Everyone calls him 'The Shadow'.
…Because that is literally the only thing they could think of…!
He never steals our food, never shows himself and has no conscience whatsoever. He seems to tuck in his tail so that we LightningClan cats can't use our special attack— tug on the opponent's tail and disorientate the enemy, so we can send them running with a few scars to remember us by.
But The Shadow has learned to tuck his tail in and we can't do that, so while the warriors are trying to find him in the dead of night, he comes out of the shadows and kills the poor unsuspecting cat.
At least, that's what everyone assumes. You see, no cat has ever seen The Shadow and lived to tell the tale.
That's why, I'm going to be the first…!
Oh, wait. I haven't introduced myself.
Hi, my name is Littlekit!
Great name, I know, but it's not the worst. My parents could have named me something embarrassing like Fuzzykit or Maggotkit. Thank StarClan they didn't!
True to my name, I'm a small brown tom-kit with a white underbelly and both my mother's and father's forest green eyes.
Speaking of which, my mother is Fawnheart; she's basically a taller version of me.
Taller, not bigger.
Then, my father is Oakstar. Well, at least, that's what I've been told…
I've only seen him once. I was about three moons old and he came to the nursery to congratulate his brother's mate for giving birth to such a strong, healthy kit.
He glanced at me that day and that was the happiest day of my short life.
I have no littermates but I have five den-mates: Fishkit, my cousin Hawkkit, the almost identical siblings, Acornkit and Nutkit and…
Frostkit!
Fishkit is a chubby tan tom-kit with a white underbelly—he's really smart!
Hawkkit is a brown tabby and somehow already has muscles. It must be from the amount of running around and playing he does with the other kits.
Acornkit and Nutkit are almost the exact same. They share everything; fresh-kill, a nest, I even think they share a brain considering how small it seems to be... The only difference between them is that Acornkit is a light golden-brown tabby she-kit and Nutkit is a light brown tabby tom-kit.
And then, there's the perfect in every way, Frostkit. She's got these sparkling sky-blue eyes and a beautiful silver pelt. She's good at everything! She's so perfect!
I don't think she knows I exist, but once we become apprentices, that will all change!
Because, I'm going to kill The Shadow!

A/N: I had the best 'conversation' with Spellcheck while I was writing this. So basically, I wrote Tuffnut (Nutkit)'s name and this was the 'conversation'...
Me: *notices red line under Nutkit's name* *Does the fancy spellcheck thing*
Spellcheck: You spelled "Nutkit". It is incorrect. Did you mean "Nitwit"?
Me: *crying* OMG! YES! YES I DID!
So, yeah… Made my day knowing that Spellcheck understood. :D
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the story. If you want me to post the four Clan allegiances, I can. Just send me a review saying, "You idiot, Kat! How am I supposed to know who is who?! Stop procrastinating and write the allegiances down!"
Then *poof* allegiances.
Anyway, I've got to stop procrastinating and I should probably write that English essay…hmm…
