Prologue

Asthe world had awaken with the slightest breeze of dawn, so did the forest. Playful chirps of magpies, and other birds flouted to the misty horizon where the sun had

yet arose. Dew sprinkled the grass, like frost, beautiful, but icy. Deep in the grove of trees, hidden behind the thick canopy of leaves, protected by a thick layer of

vines, and thorns, live a group of cats. The camp they live in, lingers with the scent of ash, and smoke, a grave reminder of what happened so many moons ago. In

Fact their clan name was dedicated to the unforgettable day. Ashclan. Ashclan, was strong, with agile runners, cunning fighters, and protective warriors. The clan was

highest. Small bushes covered the forest floor, where cats slept, protecting them from the light. However the highest den, was a true cave shrouded by a tall winding

pine tree that casted an eerily shadow across the campus, and a protective layer of gnarling vines swaying low like snakes coiled around tree branches. Outside, cats

crawled from their dens, yawning and stretching their limbs. Ashclan was known to be true morning warriors, a tradition passed down from leader to leader. One

particular tom, a ginger flecked white tom sat up from his post on the grass, and padded to the pine tree. " Silverstar? Its dawn." the sound of scraping claws, and a

yawn told the tom his respected leader had awoken. "Thanks, flamespots.. i'll be out soon, assign patrols will you?" A gruff meow sounded from the cave. The warrior

nodded, turning around to face his fellow clanmates, and leapt off of the highrock. You see, flamespots was the deputy, a loyal, and fierce warrior that had gained the

trust of many ashclan warriors. His green gaze drifted from several warriors, until they landed on a small group consisting of 4 cats. " Ratfang, eggbelly, lizardtooth,

and frostheart, all have hunting patrols." as the tom called the names of each cat, they dipped their heads and each sat up, padding away into the wild and untamed

forest. He purred, knowing the warriors would always obey. He turned to another group consisting of only 3 cats. " Redstripe, Grizzleface, Spiderclaw, border patrol."

they nodded and padded out without a word. The rest of the warriors, pleased enough, headed back to their bushy dens, leaving him, and a calico queen with sky

blue eyes. She purred and sat up padded through the grass to touch noses with him. He acknowledged her with a smile and rubbed her nose with his. " Beautiful

morning isn't it?" she asked settling down beside him, and curling her long, feathery tail around her paws. He nodded gazing away into the pink, blue, sky. " It sure is

raindapple." she smiled, and gazed at the sky too. They sat there, wrapped in silence, until the padding of pawsteps made them turn around. A tall, muscular silver

tabby stood, with glistening yellow eyes, and a smile. He dipped his head, at the couple. " Thank you for assigning patrols." he settled next to flamespots. Flamespots

smiled respectfully. " Anything for my leader." He nodded and turned his eyes to the calico's swollen belly. He looked at her and purred. " When are they due?"

raindapple shrugged, and sighed as she did so. " I believe in a few moons, but i'm asking bluemint today." He nodded again, and the three sat in silence for a few

heartbeats. Finally silverstar sat up. " I'm going to go check on bramblestripe." and with a flick of his tail the leader padded away. Bramblestripe was a lean, brown

she-cat with a dark brown stripe, and stunning green eyes. She had kitted the day before, a litter of two. Raindapple silently watched as Silverstar ducked beneath

the towering vines and crept into the bramble wall, a flash of his black tip tail vanishing. She sighed turning back to her mate. " I can't wait to have kits, i've thought

of names." Flamespot's purred. " Alright, let me hear them." Raindapple's blue eyes glistened with happiness, as she cuddled closer with the ginger flecked tom she

began. " Well if we have all she-kits, i thought, petalkit, sweetkit, and creamkit." The deputy nodded not taking his eyes off of the forest. " And for toms, clawkit,

tigerkit, and crowkit. What do you think?" She turned to look at him. He smiled and nuzzled her. " Perfect," Soon the patrols of cats herded into camp, shoulders stiff

and eyes narrowed. Flamespots eyed them with worry, and got to his paws trotting over. " Grizzleface, what happened?" he asked to a black tom with a scarred face.

The tom hissed. " It's leafclan, we were ambushed. Luckily none of us got hurt, but still, i'm sick and tired of leafclan doing this!" he lashed his tail. Flamespot's

nodded, his eyes narrowing. " I'll tell silverstar, you three should still see bluemint, even though you're not hurt." they nodded and padded away. With a sigh, he

turned to the others. " How did hunting go?" he asked eggbelly a white tom also, with a golden belly. The tom purred dropping a fat squirrel at his paws, as did the

others. Flamespots flicked his tail in awe. " I've never seen such fat prey! I'm impressed!" he purred, dismissing them to their dens. Each cat picked up prey and

trotted to the fresh-kill pile. He smiled, and turned to where raindapple previously sat, now was empty, a faint linger of her scent wafted inside his nose. He raised a

brow, and trotted to the nursery where silverstar crept out. He smiled, and stopped, sitting down. " How was she?" silverstar purred. " Great! I named my toms

today. Dustkit, and icekit." Flamespots purred. " Those are wonderful names, by the way, grizzleface has complained that leafclan is trespassing on our border again,

and they ambushed the patrol." the leader's eyes widened. " i thought we taught them a few moons back not to cross our territory." he growled lashing his tail.

Flamespots shook his head. " We should remind Duskstar, where to keep her warriors. Also, did raindapple come in here?" the leader shook his head and padded to

the fresh-kill pile. Worry pricked at flamespot's stomach, like an angry tick. " Okay.. thanks anyway.." he mewed turning away from the nursery and trotted to the

medicine cat den, where faint murmuring ran inside. The tom stopped, and listened. " A destiny like no other… will be awakened.." He raised a brow. What could they

be talking about? Could his kits really have such a future?
