Something was very, very wrong. Firestar could see nothing but tall sprawling grasses in varying shades of green and yellow. The landscape was foreign and seemed to go on forever in no matter where you turned. Firestar was stunned. One day his clan was in the forest and the next they weren't. Not just his clan though. All the clans they were here on this strange cliff overlooking this strange land.

His ran his tail across the long blades of grass. It twitched uncomfortably as one of the blades. They were sharp and dry. Firestar flinched when they grass broke with a soft snapping sound. He took a step back and looked up at the sun. It looked the same but it's heat was unbearable. His fiery pelt seemed to truly burn. But Firestar could sense something else was wrong it was as though the clan was… broken.

He turned around and silently took role of his clan's members. His grandchildren, his mate, his daughter Squirrelflight, Brightheart, Birchfall, Daisy, Icepaw, Hazeltail, Berrynose, Mousefur, Longtail, and Spiderleg. He felt his heart stop. This couldn't be possible! Barely any of his clan was still present. He stopped and recounted. Then again. Than once more. He couldn't breathe he could barely move he managed to look around found he was not the only clan at a loss. RiverClan ShadowClan WindClan they all looked patchy, small. The other leaders had joined together in a huddle. Blackstar's tail bristled with silent fury and Onestar's pelt looked as if he has just raced through a wall of brambles. Leopardstar was hidden behind the two other leaders and all that was visible was her ears. That were shaking and speaking in quick low voices. Firestar almost joined them until he was interrupted by a voice.

"Firestar" Brightheart asked with fear in her eyes. "Where are we?"

"I don't know" Firestar shook his head "I don't know" he repeated softer. A strange sweet scent hit Firestar's nose. It was familiar yet very distance.

"Hello."

Firestar whipped around to see who spoke. Firestar inwardly gasped, a small bluish dog like creature was standing about a fox leap away from the clans.

"How are you." She repeated.

It hit Firestar on what this creature was. She was a wolf. From Firestar heard wolves were very much like dogs but more savage and powerful. His pelt bristled and he instinctively dropped into a hunting pose. He could hear several cats follow him hissing slightly but other seemed to be frozen in fear. The wolf took a nervous step back. She flattened her ears and looked fearful.

"Who are you" Blackstar snarled. The wolf flinched but then smiling weakly. She took a nervous step in Blackstar's direction

"Amani na furaha ,My name is Coraline" She stopped a few inches away from Blackstar. The tom leaned back and curled his lip. Coraline extended her paw in his direction slightly shaking. Blackstar glared at her paw then at her. His lip curled into a snarl and for a moment Coraline drawn back her paw. But then she took a deep breath and extended again. Blackstar still look at it disdainfully however, after a moment he gingerly reached out and tapped his paw to her. Firestar watched as his body slowly grew relaxed. Firestar stared for a moment then relaxed as well.

"A bit short aren't you" Blackstar stated. Firestar looked closer. It was true Coraline barely reached his shoulder.

"I'm still young" Coraline said still nervous. She shuffled her paws. The she-wolf glanced past Blackstar to the other cats. She gulped.

"Do you understand what's going on, or where our homes are" asked Leopardstar stepping forward.

"Uh no sorry" Coraline frowned and tensed. "But I do know this place. It's my home. These are the Plains" Firestar walked to the edge of the cliff. "This place is home for many." she looked thoughtful. "Uhm we probably shouldn't stay out in the open like this though. Please, follow me. We'll be safer by the wall"

She carefully walked around the group of cats and started down a large ridge that took a steep dip into the ground.

Firestar didn't know why but he had a feeling that this she-wolf could be trusted. Besides even if he didn't trust her he certainly couldn't stay her. He silently beckoned his clanmantes with his tail and started after Coraline. A million questions ran through his head. Where was taking them? What happened to their home? Would they be stuck there forever? And one desperate question would he ever see the rest of his beloved clan again?

Coraline stopped at a large stone over crop. She stood at the edge and waited for the clans to gather. Firestar could do nothing but stand in awe of the wall. It was dark gray stone with odd carvings and inscriptions painted and dug in with different colors. The pictures seemed to be group together under several categories.

"What is that? Sandstorm asked pressing her flank to Firestar's. He gently pressed his muzzle to Sandstorm's. He was grateful for the warmth she offered in this strange unknown place.

"It is a wall of history it holds importance for all creatures on the plains." Coraline's tail twitched with excitement. "It holds the history of everyone from tributes to pack lands and tribes to clowders" Firestar could smell fear scent coming off cats from every direction as Coraline began to speak.

"It is said ever since the beginning beasts have ruled the plains and because we lived so far from the two-legged walkers, we could live in peace. Cats, wolves, dogs, sea and sky all together as one.

"Yes the plains are very vast yet very wonderful place. There are many warriors live here and all strive to defend their homes in their own ways." She glanced at the walls and her eyes settled on a painting of the wolf tree.

"Like these Spirit Walkers, they are brave, kind and, fearless. They go around doing good deeds and saving lives. They don't really care what group you're in or what you have done in life all that matters is protecting those who need it. There are two packs who claim the name and travel through the plains." Coraline pointed to two shapes on the stone.

"The Upper Land pack, make base east of here high up in the mountains, and are ruled by Eagle's Voice but the pack that travels through here on the most is commanded by Stars of the Night."

Firestar was surprised almost instantly Coraline had lost her stutter, her eyes shown with excitement as she pointed to another inscription. It was a chaotic scene painted in red with particularly sharp claw gashes in it. "These are tributes" her tail flicked in delight "Which is what I live in" She placed her paw on a claw mark.

"It is said by every elder and leader that have ever lived in a tribute, that there was once a time when the plains lived in great chaos and terror. Wars took place every day and blood fell like rain over the battle field. The Spirit Walkers were overwhelmed, the tribes were almost wiped out, and everyone was in a state of panic until six stepped forward each blessed with amazing and noble power. Together they brought order back to the land. "

She pointed at a jumping shape with wings. "There was Gliding Bird, he maneuvered on ground as though he was walking on air, The Moon Dancer, who had the power to stop enemies with just a glance, Blazing drops of Sun, tore through ranks with the sunclaw," Firestar watched her paw moved across the stone. The Moon Dancer was represented by a wolf standing under the moon with bright stones for eyes while Blazing drops of Sun was shown as a paw inside the sun.

Coraline stopped to take a breath then continued one now looking at the image of a cat who was holding a raindrop in its paw. "Rosedew, manipulated water with his noble paw," She pointed next to the picture where a cat was looking forward and back. "Timewatcher, seemed to have the ability to predict the future and see the past," her paw came to the last image which seemed to be a cat but it's face was… off. "and finally, the echoing of a Shadow's pulse, a she-cat with a paw softer than snow."

Coraline paused again to take a breath. "Each one took a large group of creatures and taught them the ways of Anha watcher of all. With her guidance and their leadership the groups found peace though occasionally there is still fighting. In the end the creatures were so moved in fact that after a short period of time they began calling their groups Glider's tribute or Sundrops's tribute after their leaders."

She looked over the clan cats and noticed they were staring. She immediately returned to her earlier state of nervousness. "Apologies, I always get mystified when I see this wall."

"Great so while you play medicine cat we get to stand out her like sitting ducks. Maybe you could do something useful like helping us figuring out on or finding someone else who knows!" growled Onestar.

Coraline opened her mouth then closed it "Of course I'm sorry it's just…" she trailed off as she saw several cats bristle.

"Could your leader know anything about this?"

Coraline shuffled her paws. "uh maybe…"

"Fetch them. Fetch anyone who could help us!"

Coraline nodded and placed her tail between her legs. "Of course I will, please wait here." Coraline gave one final glance at the clans then turned and tore down the path leaving the ridge like her life depended on it. Firestar glanced back at the wall. There was an inscription set fair beyond the others at what seemed the beginning of it all. It looked like a creature walking through a crowd of claws. For some reason this caused Firestar's pelt to bristle but before he could ponder the situation more chatter broke out among the clans.
