Prologue

The moon trickled its light down the grass and lightened the bloody battle scene, uncovering dead bodies and red stones. Bodies of warrior cats lay motionless on the ground as if to be waiting for something, and their eyes wide with terror but still in battle postion; claws unsheathed and teeth bared.

Two cats revealed themselves from the bushes. One was a female, who had scars across her face and her black fur standing on end. The other, a male, stepped forward. He was brown, a tabby, beatiful in the face and a calm expression. "Deathstar," he murmured. The other hissed and spat in his face, "Don't talk, mousebrain! You have lost this battle, and your territory, so leave this place!" "Calm down," the tabby meowed. "You must understand that we have no place to go. And our kits, we have many, but they won't survive the harsh leaf-bare." He shuffled his paws in the snow. Deathstar spat blood on the ground, her eyes never leaving his gaze, burning their bright-red rage on his tabby fur.

Soon, another cat limped to stand beside the brown tabby. "Deathstar," she growled in a blazing rage, "you old badger-face! Leave us alone! Just beat it and leave us to heal."

Deathstar unsheathed her claws and rasped, "Us? There are only two of you, and I have a whole clan to care for!"

Her opponent's white speckled fur bristled.

"Settle down, Whitestream," calmed the brown cat. He then focused his heay gaze on Deathstar, who hissed in his face. "We will leave," he murmured. "To a place where freedom rings in our ears and where brightness shines upon our fur, where no creature is judged, and the gaze of StarClan protects us all." His fur seemed to shine in the windy air as the sun poked its rays out of the misty clouds. Sparkles reflected across his fur.

Whitestream's eyes brightened to a new place in her heart. She lifted herself onto a great boulder and shouted with the great howl that echoed acrosss the trees, "A new era begins here! In the face of all warrior-kind!" Then she leaped down and nudged the big cat. She murmured only four blurs of words, "I love you, Dawnstar." She looked into his steady gaze. "More than my own life."
