Prologue
Royal and Fairy padded to Monument Place and stopped at a cozy white nest. They saw a light brown tabby she cat standing at the window. "This is the house where Lily lives," meowed Fairy, her purple eyes glinting in the dark. Royal dipped his head
and padded to the window. "Lily!" yowled the golden tom. The light brown she cat turned her head and leaped through the the window to stand in front of the golden tom. "The clan didn't let Fairy and I join," meowed Royal. Lily nodded. A moment later,
Fairy padded over and said, " So we decided to start our own clan." Lily nodded again. "We decided that Royal shall be leader, I will be deputy, and you will be the medicine cat," continued Fairy. "From now on we will have warrior names. I will be
Royalstar, since I am leader. Fairy, from now on you will no longer be Fairy. You will take on the name Fairyclaw. Lily, from now on you will be Lilytail."
Lilytail and Fairyclaw both nodded in agreement. "Tonight me and Royalstar will travel to the moonstone. Fairyclaw, you will guard our temporary camp," meowed Lilytail. Fairyclaw nodded and padded back to where they made their little camp. "It is just
you and me now," said Lilytail while gazing at the stars, " A clan cat once told me that each star stands for a brave cat that died. He said that they are watching over us. Do you think that is true?" "Yes, Lilytail, I think that is true," meowed
Royalstar.
"I guess we should go now," said Lilytail. Royalstar dipped his head and ran to Lilytail. They were silent as they padded past hills and lakes and thunderpaths.
