In the darkness of the forest, many cats were lost; without a home, without a family and without much to live for. Until one day, they came out of the darkness, and stepped into a world filled with light. There was a lake, which was so wide you couldn't see were it ended. The surviving cats called this an ocean. That day, the four clans were made. Oceanclan lived on the beach; they drank salt water and could catch fish better than any other cat. Marshclan lived near the forest, in a wet, muddy area. These cats were skilled at being quite and stalking their slimy prey. Rapidclan lived near the river that had created a gorge. They were as fast as the wind, and were the only cats skilled enough to catch a rabbit. Deltaclan lived mostly on land and in the thin forest, but they were skilled at fighting and could leap from island to island with ease. All these cats could do something their ancestor thought would be crazy, they could swim. Most cats swam very well. All these cats had the same ancestor that watched over them now, in the island in the sky. That was Islandclan. Islandclan was filled with many secrets, that the cats would need to see to believe. As the end of these wonderful clans becomes closer and closer, three cats will rise above them all and lead the clans to their true home.
