Prologue
Gold wrapped her tail around her paws. "You're doing just fine my son." She purred to the dark brown tom.
"Mother, I feel uncomfortable with the safety of my Clan. How long until the Twolegs leave the greenest part of our territory?" He meowed, insecurely.
The golden she-cat glanced at me. "Echostar, you need to be patient. These GoldenClan cats have no control over Twolegs." Gold meowed. Echostar narrowed his eyes at the ground.
"I know. The Twolegs are threatening my Clan's territory space!" He meowed, half frustrated, half angry.
"What is going on?" A she-cat's voice interrupted. Echostar turned his head.
"What are you doing here Russetstar?" He asked. The dark ginger she-cat widened her eyes and purred in amusement.
"Coming to see my mother. And now my brother since you're here." She meowed. Echostar rolled his eyes.
"I do not refer to you as my sister. I think of you as another rival Clan leader." He growled. Russetstar looked offended.
"Smoke told us to separate. We're still siblings with the same mother and father. How do you think Cavernstar or Blarestar would react if they were here?" She meowed, reasoning with Echostar.
"Offended. Highly offended I am Echostar." Cavernstar's deep voice said. Echostar couldn't tell if his brother was angry because Cavernstar's voice was always the same.
"Same. How could you say something like that?" Blarestar added.
Echostar sighed, as calm as possible. "Listen, I didn't mean it how it sounded. But we can't be best friends! The forest needs to have four different Clans. We might be siblings, but we are rivals also. Our warriors fight. Some die. We cannot act friendly towards each other. When one of us dies, no one shall share that the first leaders of the Clans were related.
"I refuse to let my cats believe some mouse-brained betrayal stuff. So, I am leaving this 'brothers and sister' authority. I'm not related to you, from here on out." Echostar remarked. His brothers and sister didn't reply. Gold looked surprised, but she did not disagree.
"Echostar, that was unnecessary. You are related to your rival siblings whether you like it or not. Now, everyone shut up. Cavernstar, Russetstar, Blarestar, leave. I need to speak to Echostar that none of you leaders will need to know. Go on, scat!" The she-cat scowled. Russetstar and her brothers left Echostar and their mother alone. When Gold made sure they were gone, she whacked Echostar on the side of his head. He backed away, recoiling.
"For GoldenClan's sake, why'd you do that?" He hissed. Gold rolled her eyes.
"You are acting exactly like your father when he denied you and your siblings as his kits. You should be ashamed. I wouldn't be surprised if their territories were suddenly larger than yours." Gold meowed.
"Well I didn't start it!" Echostar protested. Gold purred in amusement.
"You're such a mouse-brain. Of course you started it. Now, onto what you came here for…" The ground became bright and Echostar blinked as it felt he was falling. He was surrounded by light, it felt like he was being blinded.
Four of your trustworthy warriors will darken and cats will be put in their places. Beware of the stare of the green eyed cat. For that will be solved from the top. Someone whispered.
Echostar shot up, sweating beneath his pelt. Confusion and tons of questions swirled in his mind. The one that remained stuck in his paws was this one,
Who is the green eyed cat? There are multiple green eyed cats in the forest. He thought.
