A/N: I have only read The Prophecy Begins, and The New Prophecy, so I might be dense on some things.

I am going to order The Power of Three series soon, so yay :)

Anyway, to avoid any confusion, this story will take place in another part of the world, with different clans, and what not.

Enjoy!


Prologue

Smokestar took a deep breath, before climbing onto the high rock, that overlooked his camp.

"Everyone who is old enough to catch their own prey, please gather under the high rock," he meowed, trying to keep his voice from trembling. It was hard not to be nervous though, he was about to make the most important decision of his life.

After everyone had settled down, he cleared his throat, and began to speak again.

"As you know, I recently became leader, and as leader, it is my responsibility to choose a new deputy."

A chorus of purrs sounded throughout the camp, Smokestar noticed that the loudest purr came from his sister; Asterheart.

She would make a good deputy, she was brave, an excellent fighter, and probably the best hunter in the clan. On the other hand, she was a bit of a bully.

His eyes then drifted over to his mate, Honeyflower.

She would also make a good deputy, she was compassionate, and helpful, and even though she may have seemed to be a bit of a pushover, she still knew how to hold her own, when it came to protecting her clan.

"Get on with it already!" an elder yowled from the back.

"That is no way to talk to your leader!" Asterheart hissed.

"Everyone just settle down," Smokestar meowed, not wanting a fight to break out.

Surprisingly, Asterheart sat back down, without another word.

"Okay, I have made my desicion, the new deputy is Honeyflower!"

"Honeyflower! Honeyflower!" Everyone cheered, as she walked up to Smokestar, everyone except Asterheart that was.

"What!?" Asterheart hissed in disbelief. She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe that her own brother hadn't chose her to be deputy. She would have made a much better deputy than Honeyflower! Honeyflower was weak and dim-witted.

"I can't believe he chose her! Honeyflower's so dumb, and her offspring are even dumber!" Bearpaw, Asterheart's apprentice, hissed from beside her.

Asterheart shot the young she-cat a slight smile, glad that someone other than her was actually seeing sense.

"You know what?" Asterheart meowed lowly to her apprentice, as everyone huddled around Honeyflower, congratulating her.

"What?" Bearpaw asked with wonder in her light blue eyes.

"Smokestar should have never been leader, I should have! I am stronger than him, faster, braver, smarter, you know what? I don't need this! I am going to make my own clan!"

Without any other words, Asterheart tore out of the camp, with Bearpaw at her heels, what would happen next, neither cat knew, all Asterheart knew, was that she would rule the forest!
