Warriors Tale of a Blue Cat

Prologue

One night several seasons ago a litter was born. It was a time where Firestar was spoken of in legends and stories told to kits. It was a time where war was being waged between Thunderclan and Riverclan. Shadowclan and Windclan had no desire to lose valuable warriors in this petty war started over territory, so they stayed away and only fought with the winning side in a battle. During the middle of this war a litter of four was born in Thunderclan. Minkfur was their mother and Stripetail, the current deputy of Thunderclan, was their father. The first kit was a light tabby tom; a strong looking kit. Minkfur named him Burrkit. The second kit was a light grey tom dappled with white flecks. Minkfur called him Blizzardkit. The third kit was a grey she-cat with several dark stripes running down her pelt. Minkfur named her Silverkit. Last was another she-cat, only this she-cat was an odd colour; she was a beautiful shade of ice blue with several darker patches of blue on her pelt.

"I can't think of a better name than Icekit," murmured Minkfur.

When Stripetail saw the kit he was stunned into silence. He knew that cats couldn't be blue. The rest of Thunderclan thought so too. Some thought that Icekit was a bad omen but Aspenleaf, the medicine cat, said Starclan had said nothing about a blue kit, so the clan left Icekit alone.

Soon the clan forgot about it and Icekit with her siblings were made apprentices. It was then that Thunderclan started losing cats. Almost half the clan drowned including the old leader Maplestar. All the cats blamed it on Icepaw and the new leader, Stripestar, was forced to offer her to Riverclan as a peace treaty.

Riverclan was more than happy to receive a blue cat since they relied on water for life and saw Icepaw as a symbol of good luck.

At first Icepaw was distant, but soon she became a good apprentice under the tutelage of Lilytail. She even became friends with Petalpaw. As Icepaw grew older, RiverClan became more and more stunned by the she-cats abilities. Icepaw brought enough prey back to feed all the clan - even in leaf-bare - and she would hardly ever get injured in battle.

Maybe it was because of her claws that were twice the size of her clan leaders' and tapered to a sharp deadly point, or maybe not. Whatever it was, Riverclan was content to have Icepaw in their clan and soon Icepaw was given her warrior name, Icevision.

However, Icevision never lost her distant cold personality, but the clan didn't mind, even though they didn't know what had befallen Icevision in the past.

When Thunderclan heard of Skyvison's exploits, they began to doubt their decision to give her away…
