PROLOGUE;
The wind tore it's way through the forest. Branches rattled like bones against tree trunks. Eyes glittered in the darkness. Never before had the forest of the Clans been tainted with this much blood. A young warrior crouched down. He focused on ignoring the terrified pounding of his heart.
The stench of blood was thick in the air. It was so thick that the young warrior could hardly breathe. Every intake of air brought the scent of copper. Death seemed to hover around him. He knew that moving would make him step on the corpse of another cat. Whether it was comrade or foe he would never know.
"ShadowClan! ATTACK!" A yowl split the night air. The young warrior froze with fear. It was only for a heartbeat, but it was long enough. Vicious claws slashed at him. His throat opened up into a ghastly smile. He crashed to the earth twitching. Pain like fire coarsed through his body and his attacker took the time to watch as he slowly bled to death.
Her pelt glittered with an unfathomable amount of starlight. Each pawstep left glittering pawprints in her wake. She was of extraordinary age. The she-cat had existed for over sixty moons. A cat that was older than many of the minds that made up StarClan.
Even as old as she was, and with her vast experience she had never experienced such slaughter among the living of her Clans. Even in the days that the Clans were but a band of rogues with no code was not as bad as this. The warrior-code had all but vanished into a faint memory.
It hurt to watch the Clans tear each other apart. It hurt knowing that the cats no longer believed in their warrior ancestors, or followed a code. It had been seasons since the last leader had received nine lives. Seasons since the medicine cats shared tongues with them. The nameless StarClan warrior bowed her head and wept for the lost souls below her paws.
"Let it be known, that only in the darkness will the light first be able to shine. If the Code cannot be resurrected from the bowels of forgotten memory then the four Clans will be killed. There is but one who can save the Clans…"
In the shadows of a den in the territory of the Clan of darkness a small apprentice stirred in his sleep. Hushed whispers filled his ears. For the first time in many moons a young cat's paws were placed on a path made by StarClan.

That is the end of the prologue.
I know it wasn't long.
Chapters should be longer.
