The Battle
Chapter 1
In a place of no stars and endless night, a great black she-cat stepped up, her rainbow-striped tail trailing behind her. "All cats of the Dark Forest!", she called, "Hear me! We shall attack ThunderClan at moonhigh! Prepare for combat!"
As she stepped down, a brown she-cat with a red throat and golden eyes padded up to the black cat. The brown cat spoke with the rainbow-striped she-cat, "Darkrainbow, should I gather all of our best fighters?" "Yes, Robinflight," said Darkrainbow, "but there is one cat you must bring here. She is not a Clan cat, but will serve us well. Her name is Purity." Robinflight asked, "Where is this cat you speak of?" Darkrainbow answered, "She is by the barn. Please be wary when you approach her, though. She could easily cause you to fade away forever if you are not careful." With these last words spoken, Robinflight walked out of the dark clearing, entering the material world.
Robinflight appeared near RiverClan territory, next to the lake. She padded towards the barn. When she reached the horseplace, she noticed a beautiful white she-cat eating something that could not be recognized from afar. When she got closer, Robinflight realized that it was the corpse of another cat, brutally murdered. The white she-cat turned around and saw Robinflight. Before she could react, the white she-cat said, "Hello. I am Purity. What is your name?" "I am Robinflight" "Robinflight is a fitting name, since you have the red throat of a robin," said Purity, "In your eyes, I can see that you need me for something." Robinflight said, "Yes. I need you to join me and many of my associates to attack one of the Clans. I have heard that you are a swift killer, and your catch has proved that to me." "Yes," said Purity, "I have killed many. I will serve you in this battle." "Thank you," said Robinflight, "I know you will do well in this fight against ThunderClan."
Robinflight used her powers as a cat of the Dark Forest to open a rift in space to allow herself and Purity into the Dark Forest. When they entered the shadow-filled clearing, Purity's eyes became wide with surprise. "There are so many cats! I didn't expect this," said Purity. Suddenly, two sets of gleaming eyes appeared from the fog outside of the open field. Darkrainbow came from the cloudy area with another she-cat that smelled of the forest. "This is Sweetleaf, a warrior of ThunderClan," said Darkrainbow, "I have been mentoring her, teaching her to use dangerous herbs to weaken ThunderClan in preparation for our battle. With my plan in set, we will be able to take many lives and claim ThunderClan as our own." A light gray tom with white stripes padded up to Darkrainbow and Sweetleaf. He spoke, "I shall finally be able to kill my sister, Fallensoul. Her existence has tormented me for so long. I can't wait for her own life to be over!" "Ashstorm, I am proud of you. I have mentored you well." Ashstorm puffed out is chest proudly and purred. Darkrainbow interrupted Ashstorm's moment of pride, "We must still be prepared to invade ThunderClan. We cannot waste any time. It's time to train."
