Warriors: Into the Fire

Prologue

"Bluestar, it is very awful that Skyclan had to leave our wonderful forest those many years ago. Hard to think that Firestar brought them back to the living on his journey."

"Where are you going with this Tallstar?"

"Well, since the clans are getting along to a measure with territory and such, I think we should hail a new clan. New name. Close to the rest of the clans but not intruding any space."

"That is not such a bad idea."

"But don't you think the clans won't believe whatever cat we decided to tell this to?" a black frazzled cat steps out of the shadows.

"Yellowfang, always the one with doubts. And how do you know we are going to tell a cat about this?" parried Bluestar.

"A hunch."

"Something tells me that it was more than a hunch."

"I think we should tell the four leaders in a dream. We shall tell them what the new clan will be named, where it shall be located and the few cats around the area who shall be in it."

"Do you truly believe there are any cats worthy around here, Tallstar?"

"Yes I do Yellowfang. I have done my share of walking around the territory's and seeing other cats outside the clans. A few of them show outstanding leadership and qualities we need in a leader AND a warrior."

"But Tallstar! I don't believe we should tell all four leaders! The would be contradicting on their every move!"

"Yes I do believe you're right Bluestar. Then I think we should tell one cat in each clan, one SHOULD be a leader though."

"I think the probable choices would be Firestar, Heathertail, Dawnpelt and Reedwhisker."

"Whitestorm." they all nod when he pads toward them. "I believe those are great choices. Firestar has overcome our expectations time and time again, Heathertail proves very worthy, Dawnpelt has been a very good warrior these days and Reedwhisker gives the experience this little group needs." confirms Tallstar.

"Yes, I do believe that the land right in between the Horseplace and Riverclan camp will suffice. There is very good prey there and it is large enough for a growing clan. If they need more, I don't think Windclan will want to hold on to the Horseplace." Whitestorm mewed.

"I believe that will do. I think the cats living at the Greenleaf Twolegplace are very worthy for the job of raising a clan. The one will the brown-mottled coat has the ability to be a magnificent leader and the few Queen's there are very able to give the clan kits and the few bulky cats around the area will be more then able to carry the title of a warrior." Bluestar licked her chest when the approval of the three cats was shown greatly.

"So the only thing left is the name. Tallstar?"

"I'm glad you asked, Yellowfang. The clan... is Fireclan.
