Prologue

A she-cat with a pelt that was as golden as dawn walked through a forest. The only sounds was the red and brown leaves rustling overhead and the browning leaves crackling under her paws. The land began to slant up. The cat slipped into a small gap in the side of the hill and advanced into the darkness. The tunnel began to widen. The she-cat broke into a run. She went on and on and on until light appeared at the bottom. The she-cat froze. A meow echoed from the light " Come Dawnstar we are waiting." As Dawnstar continued into the light she could hear the meows of many cats. The tunnel opened up into a huge cavern that was filled with silvery cats. There meows died down as Dawnstar entered and settled herself in the center of the gathered cats wear they had formed an open area. A tom with stars in his pelt came forward. "We have been waiting. We wondered when you would find us."
"Firestar why has starclan left the sky." Dawnstar meowed. Suddenly all the cats stiffened and spoke as one. "After the dawns break, the fox will rise with the dark in the light and the light in the dark." Their voices echoed around the cavern. "Wha-whats going on!" meowed Dawnstar
"By the wolves howl fire will light the path to keep the balance."
A blinding white light filled the room and Dawnstar heard the crackle of a flame. White hot pain seared through Dawnstars body. Dawnstar jerked awake yowling. There was a rush out side Dawnstars den and her deputy Foxfur rushed in . "Dawnstar what happened!" panted Foxfur as he scrambled inside. "Nothing, just a bad dream." answered Dawnstar. "Are you sure you're ok?" asked Foxfur. "I'm fine." answered Dawnstar. "Okay." called Foxfur over his shoulder as he left. What could this mean? Dawnstar didn't have much time to think because suddenly there was an excited yowl. "Fallowtail and Mintfur have kitted! Come see!" There was a lot of rustling from all the cats waking up. Soon Thunderclan camp was a buzz with excitement. Little bits of conversations drifted up to Dawnstar.
"Fallowtail had two."
"A tom and she-cat."
"Mintfur has three new kits."
"A tom and two she-cats."
"They're all so cute!"
