Prologue-

"Everything is going to be fine, Bramblestar was a great leader. However he lost his ninth life defending his clan from a badger." meowed a pale ginger she-cat. "However, I wonder if it was worth it." meowed another dark ginger she-cat. "He did what he had to. Shouldn't you be happy Squirrelflight?" asked a black she-cat. "Well yes, I mean he had to watch all of his clanmates die and come to Starclan" agreed Squirrelflight. "Don't any of you thinks it's weird that all the cats even after Bramblestar was born are dead too?" "Yes Squirrelflight, but they didn't have nine lives like he did. Also, if you forgot, Toadstep and Hazletail are still living as elders." mewed a brown tabby she-cat. "Most of my clanmated died during the time I was leader." mewed a blue-gray she-cat. "Alright Bluestar, I rest my case…" meowed Squirrelflight, "May I go wake him?" When a bright ginger tom nodded, Squirrelflight raced to the spot where a dark brown tabby tom was laying. Squirrelflight pressed her nose into his fur. The brown tabby tom blinked his eyes open. "Squirrelflight!" he meowed loudly, "What happened? Last thing I remember was fighting the badger and Hollyheart standing over me… a-and Shrewclaw pushing his nose into my fur…" "Oh Bramblestar, how much I've missed you… you've lost your ninth life, Hollyheart is to be the next leader of Thunderlcan." Squirrelflight meowed softly. "So, I'm here for good?" Bramblestar asked. "Yes, welcome to Starclan. Let's go see all of your loved ones." Squirrelflight licked his ear and raced toward the group of cats that were waiting for Bramblestar's arrival.
