Prologue
Four Riverclan cats were hunting by the Gorge- two apprentices, two mentors. An apprentice with a light gray coat and brilliant blue eyes eyed a raven warily. She turned to her mentor, Tigerscar-a tom with an orange tabby pelt and warm brown eyes, and her fellow apprentice, Vixenpaw-a tom with a light orange/red pelt with curious green eyes. "May I?" she asked politely.
Tigerscar shrugged. "Go for it, Shadepaw." Vixenpaw nodded. Then, she turned to Vixenpaw's mentor, Cedarsplash-a tom with a pelt as white as snow, and the same blue eyes as Vixenpaw. Cedarsplash was also her father. "Why not? Do it. Nothing's stopping you, Shadepaw."
Shadepaw crouched and started stalking the raven. Every paw step she moved, the closer she got. Closer, and closer, and closer.
Vixenpaw gasped. "Shadepaw, watch out!" Shadepaw pounced, and landed on the piece of ground- that wasn't there anymore.
