This is a fan made story about Warriors. This is my version of the next warriors book after Omen of the Star ended. SPOILER ALERT! This will include text that may give out hints to people who haven't read Omen of the Stars. I do not own Warriors, Erin Hunter does. Hope you like and any advice is helpful. :) I will post Chapter 1 when I get 1 review.

I sighed deeply. The cavern lighting was dim, I could only see his face."Jayfeather, what are we to do? The battle has left us weak. We lost Spiderleg, Toadstep, Rosepetal, Thornclaw will soon be forced to retreat to the Elders Den, and...and Firestar." He choked the last words out. Firestar's death was the hardest on him, I believe. After all, it was Bramblestar-Bramblekit then- that Firestar saved. It was Bramblepaw that Firestar mentored. It was Brambleclaw that Firestar chose to be deputy, even though he didn't fit the requirments. It hadn't been a moon yet and already Bramblestar showed signs of severe depression.
"I mean, will this be the end of ThunderClan? I know, Lionblaze was the obvious choice to be deputy- he's strong, an amazing hunter, and smart- but he declined the opportunity. Mousewhisker has good leadership qualities, a he's a smart warrior, but I often wonder if he'd make a good leader when I pass, and-"
Jayfeather broke in, "Only time will tell. You can't go rushing into conclusions already. This isn't even the worst of it yet. You must stay strong." He insisted.
Bramblestar still pushed on though. " Not to mention Dovewing and Ivypool. They both seem traumatized from undergoing such stress. Actually, everyone seems that way...even me.''
"Bramblestar. " I said forcefully, "Stop. Right now. Yes, let's face some facts. We lost some amazing warriors but they rest in StarClan now, which isn't bad at all. Firestar dedicated all of his nine lives to ThunderClan and there will never be another leader like him. But he couldn't live forever. Nobody can and that's life. We are made to go on, to learn from others mistakes and to grow stronger everyday. Bramblestar, listen good now, you have to go out there and make this clan strong again. We have just been through a battle with the Dark Forest and some cats from the other clans! Do you expect all of these cats to go on without someone to lead them? No, they can't. So stop worrying about yourself and get a grip! We're loosing you! You haven't been leading this clan at all and soon, I mean very soon, this clan will no longer be a clan!"
I was breathing heavily now, my heart racing from the frantic speaking. Please StarClan, please let him understand...
"Jayfeather...I think its time we get to business." Bramblestar slowly turned his head to me and if I wasn't mistaken, I saw the slightest shade of a smile. I sighed a sigh of relief, maybe things would be back to normal now. "Jayfeather, I have one more question...why did you Rockpaw to be your apprentice? For one, you have so much youth in you. An apprentice for you shouldn't be needed for seasons to come! And besides, Rockpaw has more of a warrior build and appeal. "
It was several heartbeats before Jayfeather summoned up the courage to speak. He was about to speak of the name that whispered so many memories, secrets, dreams, and nightmares. I looked Bramblestar straight in the eye and I spoke, my voice shaking, "Because...because of Rock."
Please Review! :)
