A/N Hola! I've decided to start a new story... Yeah I know I have other stories but this is going to be a good story too! ... Moving on... This story is about a tom named Cherryblossom. No, that's not a mistake in gender. Very frankly, he lives in a Clan that are athesists - exept for him, one of his friends (Barrelkit), and the elder Lightningflower. The clan was named after Lightningflower, who runs away from her old clan (one of the 4 original clans) for reasons explained in later chapters. Finally, Cherryblossom gets fed up with his name, and decides to go on a quest that takes him a long way from everything he's ever known and believed in. Somewhere out there he knows StarClan exists, even if his quest takes him a million starlights away...

Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors, just the characters in the story.

Please read and review!

Prologue

I've heard this story nearly a thousand times already, but the kits have been begging Lightningflower for the past moon to tell this story. Now she's given in and is telling the story of her great journey to the next generation of kittens. I'm trying hard to be respectful as I rid her pelt of fleas, but I can't help but yank a little harder than I should. She's not at my favorite cat in the world, but she taught me all I know.

I've been playing medicine cat for a long while now; both of my parents are medicine cats because of some agreement Lightningflower came up with when she became temporary leader. Tornclaw's taken her power over after she felt that she couldn't handle the Clan anymore and he's honestly been a fair leader.

Who am I kidding? I love my clanmates. I really, honestly do. But none of them believe in StarClan, and that really ticks me off. We're a close-knit group of cats since we formed a "Clan," but that doesn't mean that I happen to like everyone.

My name is Cherryblossom. No, I'm not a she-cat. I happen to be a tom, even though my name suggests differently. My parents brought me up to think my full name would be Cherryfang, but Tornclaw decided that my belief in StarClan made me cursed or something, and gave me this cursed name. He said that I would be the last to receive the second half of my name, and no cat ever brought it up again.

So I'm stuck with this name, getting jeers from cats at times, but only if I do something wrong. Usually I dwell with Barrelkit, Wildflower's daughter and granddaughter of Lightningflower, and Lightningflower herself.

So now I'm stuck here in the elder's den while my parents perform their duties as full medicine cats. When one of them dies, the other will go to the Elder's den and I will take on a mate. But I'm not concerned about that now, while I pluck pests off this old cat and complain silently about my name.

I don't care what others think. StarClan is real, and one day I'm going to find them. One day, I'll be hailed as Cherryfang. One day.
