Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors.
A/N: I'd like to say that I didn't come up with these names on my own - I used a few names from Skyfeather123's "Anybody Need Names?" story, as well as some names from Darkstorm Mistystar's Legacy's story.
Prologue
A fire blazed in the night, illuminating the whole of the clearing. "Morningpaw! Whitepaw! Scarletfeather!"
The list of names continued, but the voice of the cat yowling them was smothered by the roar of the flames. Giving them up for gone, the cat followed after the rest of his Clan.
OoOoO
It was morning and the fire still blazed. "We can't get back, Scarletfeather," Whitepaw meowed. The other cats meowed in agreement.
"Let's go then," Scarletfeather meowed, rushing away towards the mountains, the other cats close at her heels.
OoOoO
"Who are they?" Whitepaw asked. A thin line of cats traveled along a steep and narrow ridge.
"I don't know," Morningpaw meowed.
"Let's go see," Scarletfeather decided.
OoOoO
"You can come with us," the tom purred. "Once we reach our new home, you may ask our leader if you can stay."
"Thank you," Scarletfeather meowed, and she and the other Clan cats followed the new cats along the ridge.
OoOoO
Chapter 1
A pretty tortoiseshell she-cat padded up to the smoky grey tom. "We have to stop soon," she purred. "Clover's going to have her kits any minute now."
"I know, I know, Lightheart," the tom purred. "We'll stop just as soon as we reach the Falling River."
"Alright, Smoke, you know best," Lightheart purred. Smoke that Rises from the Fire was the deputy. He was taking Lightheart, Clover, and several other cats to the Falling River, where the leader of the Tribe of Swriling Mist, Thunderstar, was waiting.
"I hope that Falling River will be a good home for us," the apprentice Dancingpaw meowed. "It's really hard to adjust to a new home. Speaking of which, how are you doing back there?"
Dancingpaw was refering to Morningpaw, Whitepaw, Scarletfeather, several other cats who had come from four Clans of cats called ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, and ShadowClan. They'd come to the Tribe of Swriling Mist because of a large forest fire that had separated them from their Clans. When they arrived at Falling River, they'd ask Thunderstar if they could stay. He'd probably let them, since a few of the she-cats were pregnant.
"So how exactly does your name system wrork again?" Silverfang asked.
"When a queen has kits, she decides how to name them. She can use a changing name, like your clan names, a simple name, like Clover or Magic, or a long name, like Smoke that Rises from the Fire, or Light that Shines at Dawn. If it's a long name, one of the first words is used as a nickname, like Smoke and Light. When cats become apprentices, if they have changing names, their names change. And when they become warriors, their names would change again. All the other names just stay the same," purred a young she-cat named Wave that Ripples in the Water.
"Not too much longer," Smoke meowed. "I can almost scent the water."
The cats purred excitedly. All of them were anxious to see Falling Water. Supposedly, it was a river that actually fell down, and under it was said to be a cave. The land surrounding it was said to be plentiful forests and open moorland, both perfect for prey.
A terrifed yowl shattered everyone's thoughts.
A/N: I just figured out how to do that line thingy! Ok, if you like this, plz review because I will take it off if no one likes it. Does anyone have any suggestions for names for the main character? If not, I have an idea, but since I'm writing this for you to read, I'd like your input. R&R!
