Prologue:

A gray cat sat on the edge of the clouds. He gazed down at the cat below, smiling. He was watching a dark ginger she-cat teach something to an apprentice. But then a dark brown tom came over and licked the dark ginger she-cat and the gray cat scowled.

You, and your kin, will pay for what you have done to me. He thought angrily. A black cat came up to him.

"What are you planning, Ashfur?" The cat asked and narrowed her eyes. "You know we're not supposed to mess with things we don't need to."

"It's none of your business, Hollyleaf!" Ashfur growled. "I don't have to tell you anything, murderer!"

"I'm the murderer?" Hollyleaf scowled. "You tried to kill me and my littermates!"

"But did I?" Ashfur asked her.

"You're impossible!" Hollyleaf snarled and bounded away.

Ashfur rolled his eyes and padded over to a different section of cloud. He saw an orange she-cat lick her newborn kits clean. She moved onto the last one, a gray tom kit with dark blue eyes.

You have big things planned for you, little kit. Ashfur thought and padded away.
