Prologue...

Paw steps were heard in the patter of rain hitting the ground. The cats stared around confused. Where is he?, one cat thought, scratching her ear. "Bluestar, don't worry, she will be here soon enough." A cat sounded behind her. She turned around. "Of course, Thunderstar." She dipped her head respectfully. Can he read my thoughts?, Bluestar thought scenting the air. There was a rustling in the bushes, turning around she saw several cats coming to where she and Thunderstar were standing.

"Don't worry, he is coming." a voice rasped next to her. "Yellowfang! I didn't see you there!" Bluestar commented, surprised. "You should have!" Yellowfang snarled and turned around, ignoring her. As the cats gathered around a familiar fire colored pelt came into view. "He is here!" Thunderstar exclaimed. "Should we tell him?" Bluestar whispered to Yellowfang. She only shrugged. "I don't know." Yellowfang whispered back.

"Firestar!" She exclaimed. Firestar only stood there. "Firestar?" she called waving her tail in his face. "Can you speak?" She asked, still very confused. "What happened to him?" She said worriedly. Thunderstar stared at Firestar in shock. "Thunderstar, whats going on with him?" she said rapidly. Thunderstar shook his head in disbelief.

He took a deep breath and sighed. "He is still alive." The cats surrounding him gasped in full shock. "Some cat must have given him a tenth-tenth life."
