Prologue
Life for the Clans of the valley was good. A time of great peace had settled over the four Clans for the last three moons. Due to the efforts of Iceshadow and StreamClan, the threat of Nightfeather was gone.
Raincloud had become the deputy of MoonClan after Poppyfoot retired. She had gotten too old and exhausted to continue on her path. Her kits were now apprentices, strong and healthy as could be. Even Iceshadow had moved on, though the prospect of having kits was almost too much for her at the moment.
But the peace wouldn't last. As was usual in times of peace, there was darkness brewing in the valley. A darkness that no cat could escapeā¦.
A dark ginger tom with white paws suddenly erupted from the undergrowth, running as fast as his paws could carry him. Beside him was a gray and white tom, who looked equally as anxious. The night air was warm despite it being leafbare down in the valley.
StarClan's hunting grounds were always warm. Cats always had bellies that never got empty. And best of all they never aged. Yet they had wisdom beyond their years.
"Redstar, are you sure that this is right?" asked the gray and white tom.
"I'm afraid so, Berryfur," replied the dark ginger tom. His eyes glowed with determination as they bounded towards a stream that was illuminated with starlight. "When I had that vision I wanted to change it, but I am afraid that is impossible."
Berryfur shook his head fearfully when they stopped at the stream. Cats from every Clan now gathered around the stream. Redstar lifted his head slightly when he saw the former leaders of every Clan here.
"You all know why we are gathered here," he began. "A great time of darkness looms ahead for the Clans. And we must do what we can to protect them."
"What can we do to help them?" asked a black tom with unusually long whiskers.
"I won't let my Clan fall, not after all we have been through," added a dark ginger tom with green eyes.
"We will send them an omen," Redstar replied. "If anything, there are those who will be more than willing to listen to our warning."
The other cats around them murmured in reluctant agreement. Knowing that their Clans were in danger had left them feeling riled. Now that the threat of Silverstar and Nightfeather were gone, the Clans would have to face something all together more frightening.

AN: So this is the beginning of Legacy of Fire. Sort of a vague prologue, but I always say that's how they're meant to be :) Anywho, I'm aiming for at least 3 or 4 reviews before I post the first chapter. Again, this is a sequel. To understand it you may want to read the first three, or at least the first book to get a better idea of what's going on.
