Territory

High Oaks: These tall trees were scorched in a fire many, many moons ago, but are now recovered enough for a whole clan of cats to rest in each one. Also the BreezeClan border.

Lake of Flowers: This meadow of herbs and plants is where a medicine cat goes to collect herbs. It has almost all the remedies, but lacks honey, poppy flowers and stinging nettle.

Thunderpath: This is the border between StoneClan and LeafClan. But be careful crossing! The monsters give off fumes and spray up grit, and a cat could easily break a bone or even be killed under the paws of one of these big, unnaturally shiny beasts.

Small Water: This is where the river runs out, into a shallow pool below. The apprentices go here to bring back moss from here, and can bury soiled moss under the dead leaves.

The Training Hollow: A large hollow sheltered by very tall trees, so the apprentices can train in any weather. The ground is covered in soft pine needles, so you won't have to be running to the medicine cat!

Mossrocks: This is where the LeafClan cats go to relax. The opening in the top of the trees lets sunlight pour through and warm these moss covered rocks. The rushing water helps lull you to sleep, and can be used as a water source.

The Gorge: The FireClan border. If you climb the boulders carefully, you'll probably make it across, but foolhardy cats who leap at it are at the risk of death. So be careful!

Glistening Meadow: LeafClan's version of the Moonpool. When night falls, a cat will travel to the heart of LeafClan territory. When the flowers start to glow, you slowly chew one to let the juice flow over your tongue It gives you a temporary meeting with StarClan.

A Tour of LeafClan's camp

Leader's Den: You guessed it, this den belongs to Sagestar. The petrified tree that shelters the den is perfect for laying on to bask in the sun.

Warriors Den: All the warriors in LeafClan get their beauty sleep. It has a wide opening, so even the largest cats can fit through.

Medicine Cat's Den: This is Crowsong's den. Like Jayfeather did, they store their herbs in a crack in the wall. The opening is small, so no trespassers will be able to get out easily.

Apprentices Den: Hidden behind a wall of rock, this den would be safe from invaders.

Nursery: An overhang of thick, waxy leaves that give shade to the kits and queens in greenleaf, and shelter from the wind and snow in leafbare.

Elders Den: This large pile of sticks is known as the elders den! It may look rough on the outside, but it's dense and cozy on the inside. Perfect for resting old bone bags!

Skybranch: A large, curved branch that overlooks Sagestar's den. He can easily leap up onto it to make announcements.


Prologue

It was night in the forest. Not a sound could've been made, except for the rustle of a bush as a she-cat pushed through. Her chest was heaving as she dove into the trees. Another cat bounded after her, his strong muscles rippling through his fur as he pounced on the she-cat.

"I told you," he growled under his breath. "I told you you'd pay one day Poolheart."

Poolheart winced as he dug his claws into her skin. "Please...please don't do it Shrewpelt. I know you're better than this."

Shrewpelt's amber eyes blazed. "And I know you could have been better by not doing that to me." He smiled darkly. "But it's too late for that now, isn't it?"

"I have kits Shrewpelt, just let me go!" Poolheart struggled beneath his paws, but it did no good. The tom killed her with a quick snap to the neck, and licked his lips, satisfied.

"Let's see what you have to say now." Shrewpelt grabbed the dead she-cat by the scruff and dropped her in the nearby river. The tom turned toward LeafClan camp and padded forward. "And I'll be the one dealing with your kits."
