Prologue

The shadows crept in from all sides as the dark tabby tom padded towards a clearing in the rotten undergrowth. A thick scar spread down his under belly like a snake, splitting a path in his brown fur. He continued his way into the darkness, feeling oddly safe and content in the evil atmosphere.

"Tigerstar. It is time."

From deep within the shadows, a voice called. A few moments later, a tortoiseshell she cat sauntered in from the dark depths, her fur sparkling strangely in the distorted moonlight.

"Mapleshade." The tom answered coolly, "I see Clan 12 has just delivered the new batch of moonstone dust. It looks magnificent."

The she cat purred and wondered over to him, gently brushing his jaw with her thin tail.

"What are the plans for this seasons Warrior Games?" Mapleshade said, a hint of evil glinting in her eyes. Tigerstar smirked with an mischievous delight and turned to head to face the three coloured cat.

"You know me Mapleshade, I always have things up my sleeve..." He purred narrowing his eyes at the shimmering she cat. Mapleshade smirked and tilted up her head before letting out a witch like cackle.

"I'm sure you do...And I cant wait!" She laughed villainously, the shadows of the forest a mere silhouette behind her. "Now, I'd better and reap the tributes!"

The brown tom smiled back and watched as the tortoiseshell skipped her way excitedly down to the 12 Clans, each with their own important function.

The gloomy shadows soon fell away as she set her paws down in the built up territory of Clan 1. Oh this is going to be fun...
