Hawkpaw's eyes adjusted to the light, to see a light cream-coloured she-cat with black spots on her fur, she was bouncing around in the crisp, white snow. Stood next to her was another she-cat, one with a light brown-grey pelt with white muzzle, chest, paws and tailtip.
To the East, tall mountains of rock and snow filled Hawkpaw's vision all the way to the horizon. She turned her back to the rocky cliffs. She padded over to where ice and stone gave way to nothing. She stopped when she was just a pawstep away from the edge and looked out over the land below.
There was an area of open, emerald grass, with rolling hills that seemed to stretch all the way to StarClan. Opposite, was an area of vast forest that seemed to be spit into two by a path of clear blue water that shimmered in the sunlight. The forest closest to Hawkpaw had trees that were tall, thin and pointy, while on the other side of the river, the leaves were so big and packed, that no ground or tree trunks were visible. Hawkpaw's eyes followed the river, to a huge body of water on the far side of the grassland, there she could see the reflection of the sun on the water.
As she looked out over the unknown, her eyes looked down to the drop she was stood over. Fear suddenly struck her and she turned back to the other cats, terrified of the height.
As she walked away from the cliff, she noticed three other cats who appeared to be talking. It was two she-cats and a tom. The first she-cat was light grey with and even lighter underfur, the tom a light cream colour, the same colour as the excited young she-cat. The youngest of the three other cats, caught Hawkpaw's eye, her fur was light grey and she had a slightly darker muzzle paws and tail.
Hawkpaw guessed that the young grey she-cat must be her mentor, Ashcloud. Which meant that the older she-cat was the clan's leader and Rockpaw's mentor, Hazelstar, and the cream coloured tom was Brightdawn, Leopardpaw's mentor.
