The prologue of War of the Four Forests Valley. Don't worry, the real chapters will be much longer.

The moon was rising over a grassy hollow, protected by trees and vines, woven tightly together, with a small, bramble covered entrance. A large tree stood in the middle, it was hollowed at it's roots with a thin curtain of vines falling over the opening. On the lowest, sturdiest, branch, a cat was perched, his fur glowing silver in the light of the full moon.

"Cat's of SpringClan!" Jaystar yowled, as though speaking to their warrior ancestors, "Tonight at the gathering something terrible has taken place." He paused as surprised yowls out broke, signaling with his tail for silence. "EverClan, IvyClan, and DawnClan are at war. Being the Clan of peace I hope we can avoid this battle, and instead become a refuge for unlucky war victims. Do you agree?"

This time it was Moonfur, SpringClan's deputy who spoke up. "I believe becoming a shelter for all cats who want refuge during this war will benefit all Clans," She meowed.

"Then it is settled, SpringClan shall be a refuge for all cats who do not want a part in this war."

Yowls of agreement arose from the cats of SpringClan, as the sun began to rise, flooding the clearing orange and bleaching the cats' fur silver.

Jaystar jumped from the branch, landing cleanly on his paws. "Jaystar," He turned to see Goldenstripe, his Clan's medicine cat, walking toward him with a grave expression on her face.

"Yes, Goldenstripe?" The dark gray tabby asked, yellow eyes gleaming in the darkness.

"Th-The war..." Goldenstripe flattened her ears as she reached her leader, "I.. It's.. It's strange. Somehow.. I don't think it could be over a simple issue between the leaders..."

"What do you mean?" Jaystar asked, tilting his head. It certainly seemed like the leaders were just having an issue. He hoped they got over it soon, the Clan's could go back to the peaceful life of the Four Forests Valley.

Goldenstripe let out a breath, frustrated with her own mind. "I think there are other forces at work here." She said simply. The golden tabby turned and walked back to her den, leaving a confused leader to think over what he had heard.

Okay, so this is just to get started! Chapter one is almost done, I'll have it up soon. Other forces.. Well. I'm not even sure what these other forces are yet, I'll work it out before they come in, though. I'll see you in chapter one! Until then,

Bye~

Edit: Eh.. Slight change of plans. We had to rebuild the computer, so chapter one will be a little late. I still have it on paper though, so no worries, I'll type it up as soon as I can.
