It was a beautiful day. It was sun high; not a cloud in the sky as some might say. Lion Star, the leader of Fire Clan, was watching over his Clan on the high ledge by his den. He was proud of his Clan. Fire Clan was the strongest, fastest clan. They were growing frequently fast in the Sun drown Place.
He watched as his clan went through their normal duties, if they had any, like they did everyday. The queens, Fire Light and Leaf Tail, watched proudly as Shy Kit and Lily Kit played in front of the Nursery with a moss ball. Leaf Tail was Lily Kit's mother, while Fire Light was Shy Kit's mother. Their kits were almost ready. They would soon be apprentices.
The elders sat under a tree that gave way to shade, and talked about the good times, as they looked at the young kits. "I remember a time when we were one big clan. We didn't have to worry about other clans, because there weren't other clans to worry about," Hawk Feather mewed happily to Fire Pelt. "Do you remember the worst times we had? We were all so hungry that cold leaf-bare, seasons ago. That was the harshest leaf-bare that we have ever endured. The lake dried up for so long, we didn't have any water for moons," Fire Pelt told the older elder.
"Ah, yes. I remember that well. I was barely a warrior back then and you were barely an apprentice," the older elder recalled.
"I fear those days will come again," Fire Pelt commented. "I fear for the safety of the Clans. If those dark days come again, I don't know what will come of the Clans."
"I fear for the sake of the Clans during these hard, struggling times," Hawk Feather meowed to Fire Pelt.
"Come on! I'll race you to the fresh-kill pile!" Lilly Kit announced, getting a head start, Shy Kit following, catching up quickly. She was quick for a small kit, getting to the fresh-kill pile a second or two before Lily Kit.
"I beat you!" Shy Kit announced proudly, pouncing on her. They started to roll around in a ball of playfulness.

The hunting patrol entered the camp with Diamond Tail with a vole, Angel Tail with a black bird, Slink Tail with a mouse, Fire Blaze with a squirrel, and Fire Paw with a robin. They headed toward the fresh-kill pile and dropped them on it. The warriors walked past to go find their mates, while Fire Paw went to play with his sister Shy Kit.

It was sundown when the border patrol returned. Everything had been peaceful and quiet during the patrol, as well as in the camp. The next day a battle was started between the Fire Clan and Lightning Clan border patrol. The fight was about stealing prey.

That night, Spotted Pelt had a dream from the Moon Clan. Fire Star appeared to her and told her of coming battles.
"Battle will come
The Dark days
Will rise upon us
Blood will spill blood
And the water will flood red
Before there is peace
Darkness will come
And the paw of the tiger
And the paw of the jay
Will save the clan
And stand together
With the clan
And Darkness
And the dark days
Will end forever."

The next day, Spotted Pelt sat outside her Medicine den, thinking about what Moon Clan had told her. She recited it in her mind, thinking on it. What does it mean? she thought. She looked up at the morning sky, as if the answer was there, hidden somewhere within the clouds.

She suddenly realized with a jolt, that battle was coming soon. She also knew that Tiger Paw was going to save the clan from the Darkness, and that the Dark Days would come again. But who was Jay Paw? She had to find out.

A few moons later, Soot Tail had a kit. He was pure black and born blind, as well with special powers. He can walk in cat's dreams, see memories, and see thoughts. When he dreams, he can see. He isn't blind in dreams.
Several moons passed and he became a Medicine Cat apprentice by the name of Jay Paw. Tiger Paw was now a warrior by the name of Tiger Pelt. Tiger Pelt had special powers, too. He could take out his enemies single-pawed, and could magically, by any touch, heal others.

The Darkness and Dark Days soon came to be, with the most bloody battles between all the Clans that had ever occurred. Luckily, they had Tiger Pelt and Jay Paw to protect Fire Clan; in which they succeeded in doing.

In the end, peace came and hardly any cat went to Moonclan. So every cat lived happily ever after. At least, except for some secret dark hearts within some clans. Especially, a certain cat by the name of Slink Tail, a warrior of Fireclan.
