Prologue

Moonlight shimmered over the soft, comfortable grass that wove back and forth along with the gentle breeze of wind. The small, little green leaves on the trees fell to the ground, then swiftly were carried up and placed a bit father then were they were before. The moon glittered endlessly, sending waves of beautiful light over the twinkling forest, but it's sparkling light hit a patched coat of a cat. Everything was silent, except for the almost impossible-to-hear of paws gently touching the ground. The spotted pelt moved father and father through the long, tall grass, until some other cats were seen.

One was a silver tabby she-cat with brilliant blue eyes, while the other one was a golden tabby tom with extra fur around the border of his neck. They both bowed their heads politely to her spotted she-cat, and in reply the she-cat did the same, bowing her head gently.

" Spottedleaf," The silver tabby blurted, her fur blowing in the now harsh wind. " Did you gather information?"

" No," Spottedleaf shook her head, bristling in the cold night breeze. The golden tabby tom sighed, closing his deep green eyes.

" How is Graystripe doing?" The silver tabby asked urgently, looking quite scared. The wind soared through her fur as she stood on the huge oak.

" Good, he is doing fine with Millie." Spottedleaf replied, stifling a large yawn.

" Why would I care about Millie?" The silver she-cat snarled, her claws digging into the thick bark. " She stole my only true love!" Spottedleaf opened her mouth to talk to the she-cat, but she quickly dashed away, tears flying from her eyes.

" Go on." The golden tom sighed, shaking his head. " Silverstream will be okay. She has….. break downs like this."

" Well, we need her," Spottedleaf continued, yawning once. " You know who, to go find Midnight. Then the dark forest will never tear the clans into shreds."

" True, true." The golden tabby nodded, his fur starting to whip in the harsh winds. A rustle was heard from the trees, and the two cats of opposite genders whipped their heads around, but everything was still again.

" Let's go, Lionheart. It's getting creepy out here…" Spottedleaf dashed away, followed slowly by Lionheart.
