Prologue
The wind blew across the clearing as the small black and white kit followed his mother into the clearing. The cold air bit at his fur, drawing him closer to his mother. His nose ran wild with the scents and smells of many different cats. Some were old and scrawny, and some were young and exuberant, just as he was. He looked around the dark shadows of the forest, his paws stepping in front of eachother in a light motion. He made sure he kept following his mother, her strong milky smell mixing in with the smell of all the other cats. The dense ground underneath his paws felt cold, sending a shiver up his fur. His mother stopped walking, as she sat in front of a very tall rock. She nudged him forward, and he sat under her belly, warm and protected. But he wanted to explore the area, and see who all the other cats were. He began to walk toward a blue-gray she-kit who looked the same age as he was. She began walking toward him, her eyes wide with curiosity. Their noses were about to touch, but the black and white kit was lifted up by the scruff of his neck. "Stay with me, Nightkit. It's time to listen." Nightkit watched as the blue-gray she-kit was picked up by her mother. He heard her mother say, "Stay here, Oceankit!" And then, a mighty black tom with golden paws began to speak from up top of the Tallrock, his voice ringing loud and clear, hushing all the cats below him.
"We gather here today in remembrance of the four mighty clans that have all descended up to StarClan. They may not be here with us now, but their spirit still lingers within the trees and the rivers of this land." The large black tom spoke in a clear, decisive tone. "We remember ThunderClan as a brave, strong clan, always obeying the Warrior code. We remember RiverClan for their courage, and bravery to keep on fighting, even as times got tough. We remember ShadowClan for their strength, and will to fight. We remember WindClan for their smart, courageous acts as a clan." The tom eyed his audience, then turned his gaze to the starry sky. "And we remember StarClan to be loyal to all who needed them, and to be supportive to all the great leaders of each clan...But we gather here today to start a new set of clans. 4 clans that will rule the forests and the outstretches of water given to them. The prey that shall be received by their claws shall be a sign of a new revival, a new life within this land."
The crowd of cats that surrounded the black tom looked up at him with anxious eyes, waiting for what he would say next, their tails twitching with anticipation.
"The first clan shall go by the name of WaterClan. Water means healing; this clan shall be a clan marked by the healing of wounds." The tom paused to catch his breath, the moon shining off his black fur. "The second clan shall be known as EarthClan. Earth is a steady strength that cannot be broken. The third clan shall be known as FireClan. Fire is life and energy, and is taken cautiously. The fourth clan shall be known as AirClan. Air is wild and free, leaving all in it's path confused by it's wisdom." The tom eyed his audience. "The four clans shall live amongst this land separately, all in their own division of land, obeying and abiding by the Warrior code, until a new generation shall rise." The black cat's voice rang through the forests' clearing, leaving the cats to watch with wide curiosity in their eyes. "I shall name each of you into one of these clans, and you shall go your way, and live together as one clan, as the other clans did before us." The black tom paused, letting the cats take in the information. He then named off who would be in which clan, and blessed each cat as they went into their appointed piece of land without any questions. Each cat had Warriors blood within them, running through their veins as it had for generations, as they pounded through the forest, their heads and tails held high in acceptance to the black Warrior's words. "Go in peace," He wished them, as they all departed. "And don't forget who you are, remember your ancestors, and always, always, be loyal to your clan and the Warrior code."
Nightkit was carried away by his mother, her pace fast and eager. The trees around him were like a blur as his mother fastened her pace, her breathing heavy and fast. She finally slowed to a stop, and placed Nightkit down at her feet. Nightkit looked up at a gray tom who stood with pride in his eyes. He had one blue eye and one white eye. "Welcome to AirClan," He said. "Let's get you two placed."
