Shining Song and Of Moonlight and shadows for the kind and encouraging words about my prologue!
No new chapter but I figured I would go ahead and post the allegiances.
Update: It came to my attention that I am really not supposed to have allegiances by themselves so to compensate I added a bonus story unrelated to the main story at the bottom. Enjoy!
Update 2: Just a heads up there is a Poll on my page, so check on that to see if you want to vote!

"So today we will have a lesson in swimming in deeper water," the tortoiseshell she-cat Cloverfern, addressed the three apprentices in front of her.
"Listen carefully and we may even start off on some basic water battle moves!" Stormsky encouraged.
"Where's Mudstream?" One of the apprentices, a dark gray and black tom whined in a high-pitched voice.
"He's on a border patrol so you will have to stick with the two of us for now. And do not think for one second that means you can misbehave," Cloverfern warned while the apprentice, Lakepaw just rolled his amber eyes. His brother, Wavepaw, a dark blue-gray tom, nudged his side hard as a warning to keep his snarky comments to himself for once.
"Do we have to get in the water, it's so mucky and cold. I don't want to ruin my pelt, I just groomed it this morning!" a pale gray she-cat complained.
"You'll be fine Mistpaw, you have been like this ever since we were kits. We are Riverclan cats, you will have to get used to it fishbrain," Lakepaw told his disgruntle sister.
"Everyone hush up and Lakepaw, don't use such language," Stormsky silenced all the kits with a swish of his tail, "We will start of by slowly putting our paws on the end of the river to get used to the water. Then we will slowly get in further but don't do so till I say so." All three cats nodded their heads in understanding.
Wavepaw and Lakepaw slowly dipped their paws in the water but Mistpaw sat stubbornly on the edge.
"Get in the water now Mistpaw before I shove you in," Cloverfern growled at her apprentice. Mistpaw quickly followed knowing Cloverfern was serious.
"Hey this isn't actually that bad-" Mistpaw screeched mid-sentence and jumped to her paws, "THERE IS A SNAKE IN THE WATER I FELT IT BRUSH AGAINST MY LEG!"
"Mistpaw snakes don't swim!" Cloverfern resisted from sighing at her troublesome apprentice. At this moment Lakepaw started bursting out a rumbled purr and yowling with delight.
"I can't believe you fell for that! That was my tail fishbra- Mistpaw, couldn't you feel my fur. Snakes don't have fur, they have scales," he told his sister in a patronizing tone. All the while, Wavepaw did his best to stifle his own purr at his sibling's antics.
Mistpaw just sniffed and ignored her brothers as she waded further into the water.
"Now what?" she snapped at the mentors before murmuring a quick apology for her tone. Deciding to just move on, Cloverfern began to instruct the cats further,
"When your paws do not reach the bottom any more, kick you paws gently to stay afloat. Remember to keep your snout above the waves. Do not fight against the water but rather use it to your advantage. If you go under, do not panic or you will run out of breath quicker. Instead, hold your breath and calmly make your way back to the surface. Got it? If you have any more questions just ask."
After having gotten used to the water, Mistpaw eagerly dived in and slowly made circles around the center of the river. She seemed to catch on quickly and was actually purring despite her earlier protests. Wavepaw took it slower but soon was swimming a bit also.
Lakepaw, however, seem to be a lot less sure when his paws were no longer touching the rocks at the bottom. He kept swallowing water and swam crookedly.
"Keep your head up Lakepaw! Make sure you kick your legs!" Stormsky instructed from the edge of the river. Trying not to look like a fool, Lakepaw did his best to listen to the instructions. Soon enough he was swimming although not as well as most Riverclan cats his age.
Suddenly Lakepaw was pulled under, after a few moments his head burst through the surface as he yowled,
"MISTPAW WAS RIGHT THERE ARE WATER SNAKES AND THEY ARE GOING TO EAT-" Mistpaw's head popped out of the water gracefully right next to Lakepaw's. Her mouth was open as she screeched with delight.
"I can't believe you fell for that, you are such a scaredy-fish!"
"What were you thinking! You could have killed me!" Lakepaw yowled at his smirking sister. Wavepaw slowly backed away not wanting to be dragged into the middle of another one of his sibling's fights.
"Oh, please, you were fine. Plus our mentors were on the side if anything went wrong. Cool down wet whiskers." With that Mistpaw flicked water in Lakepaw's face. Having had enough, Lakepaw launched himself onto Mistpaw.
Before things got too intense the mentors dived in the water and wrenched the squabbling apprentices part.
"Alright, we will save water battle moves for another time!" Stormsky meowed through a mouthful of Lakepaw's fur.
Once they were deposited on the side of the river, the apprentices just glared at each other not saying a word as they headed back to camp. However, each of them twitched their tails with delight contradicting there supposed anger as they entered the camp.
Sorry there is no new chapter. I am not sure if I will finish this story as I posted this on a whim and have thought of many plot points but haven't written any chapters besides the prologue, we will see. I figured I could post the allegiances as I already had them done.
