First, let me make this clear: This is not being discontinued. My friends (Breezefur, Icepool and I) have just started working on the fourth book.

This is more of a warning than a note. This first book was started a looong time ago when we were in fifth and sixth grade. We haven't edited it much since then. As a result, it is a very crappy book that needs a major rewrite. If you want higher quality writing, do not read this book. I will be uploading the second book soon; skip to the last few chapters of this book (start on chapter 16 if you want to understand what is going on), read them, and start the second for better writing. You'll probably be able to catch on.

Also, I will start posting some side stories, kind of like short novellas. Look out for Legends of the Clans: Side Stories soon!

Prologue

Mintpaw settled in her cozy nest, her eyes droopy due to fatigue. She was tired after a long day of sorting herbs, taking in Mossflower's criticism, running back and forth to check on Icekit (who hadn't opened her eyes even though she was a moon old), and avoiding toms who gushed whenever she came their way. After a hard day's work, she could finally get some rest and not worry about anything. That was, until Mintpaw actually fell asleep.

The pretty fawn tabby she-cat thought she would just be dreaming of catching a mouse and eating it, or recieving her medicine cat name that was absolutely gorgeous.

But no.

Mintpaw closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly, but soon woke up in a misty haze that surrounded her pelt. Mintpaw blinked; this was the opposite of what she expected. Through the haze, a shadowy figure grew bigger as it crept closer to Mintpaw. Mintpaw fluffed up her pelt to look twice her size and flattened her ears. It's just a dream. Mintpaw whispered in her head. No cat can hurt you here. The shadowy figure soon came to be a bramble pelted tom with flashing amber eyes.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my dream?!" Mintpaw yelped.

"Greetings Mintpaw," The bramble tom mewed calmly.

"H… how do you know my name?" Mintpaw stammered; she took a couple steps back.

"I am Bramblestar, the leader after Firestar." Bramblestar explained, "Such a pity, almost no cat remembers us."

"Y… you were the deputy of the legendary Firestar?" Mintpaw gasped, then bowed her head, "I… I am honored…"

"No need to be." Bramblestar grinned, "I know, I'm extremely famous."

"What do you need from me?"

"Look inside this pool it will tell you all you need to know." Bramblestar nodded at the silvery puddle in front of Mintpaw.

Mintpaw cocked her head.

"Won't I suffocate?"

"I promise you, you won't." Bramblestar purred with amusement, "Now, take a look."

Mintpaw took a deep breath, then dipped her head to the silver pool. As soon as Mintpaw's nose touched the water, a spark of light engulfed Mintpaw's vision. Mintpaw squeezed her eyes shut. When the light faded, Mintpaw opened her eyes, and saw the outlines of three cats. No, they were kits! Their pelts began to fill with color, but their faces were still faceless. There was a silver tabby, a golden russet, and a blue-grey she-kit. But they were not alone. There, outlining the three kits were the auras of three spirits, Ice, Mist, and Dusk. They swam around the kits, then blasted all their power into their little chests. Mintpaw screamed silently and with some effort, jerked her head out from the pool. She looked around in panic, and saw that Bramblestar was gone.

"B… Bramblestar?" Mintpaw's voice echoed.

Then, she heard a single voice, "Mintpaw, something terrible is coming… the Mist will rise, the Rocks will fall. Dawn will turn to Dusk. It's like a battle between Fire and Ice…"

"What does it mean?!" Mintpaw wailed as the fog grew thicker, "Bramblestar! Don't leave me here!" Mintpaw squeezed her eyes shut and curled up her body. Wake up!

Mintpaw jerked and woke up. Her eyes wild and her body trembling. Panting, Bramblestar's voice echoed in her head. The Mist will rise, the Rocks will fall. Dawn will turn to Dusk. It's like a battle between Fire and Ice...
