Chapter 1
"Lightfeather! Can you continue that story from yesterday? You didn't finish it!" Lunarkit bounced up and down.
"What? Lunarkit! You didn't tell me Lightfeather had another story! Lightfeather, can you tell me the whole story?" The elder chuckled, Enjoying herself.
"Well, I never knew you were so good with kits, even though you never had any yourself." The other elder murmured, "I'm not good with kits, so I better do bathe in the sun,"
"Sure, you go Hawkwing, you don't want to hear the story about the orgins of our clans, do you?" the white cat laid her tail on the brown tom's back.
"I've heard that story one too many times, see you." Hawkwing muttered as he dragged himself out of the den. "ugh, the apprentices still haven't changed our bedding." He snorted on the way out.
"I can do your bedding for you! You can tell Moonkit about that story, if I was an apprentice, you'd have fresh bedding all the time!" Lunarkit squealed.
"No, Lunarkit, you can do those duties when you're an apprentice yourself, we can get our own bedding later if the apprentices won't do it." Lightfeather sighed, "though that;d be great…"
"oh! Rainpaw and Mosspaw have bedding! I'll go get it. You hurry and tell Moonkit the story so I can hear rest later!" Lunarkit mewed as she jumped out to the two apprentices by the camp enterance.
"So, Moonkit, where should I start…"
Once there was three cats who spied on the 'clans' at fourtrees and decided to make their own clans, So Moon, Sun and Earth headed back to their stone and created a clan. First it was one big clan, but some cats preferred Fishing, hunting in the leaves below trees, and others preferred chasing rabbits and hunting in tunnels. So they split up into 3 groups that became Moonclan, Sunclan and Earthclan. But unlike the other five clans far away, they decided in leaf-bare, they gather and stay together. Our warrior code is similar to theirs, but not exactly the same. While they fought, we kept peace most of the time.
"But, How do we know so much about them?" Moonkit asked.
"Well, every full-moon, our three leaders head towards a place called Fourtrees."
"Wait! You mean we're SPYING on them?"
"Well, sort of," Lightfeather hesitated, "but this is how we've done things even since."
"Do they ever find us?"
"No, they don't. We can hide ourselves very well. Apparently Starclan gave them the ability to hide themselves, but only at fourtrees and the Moonstone."
"The Moonstone?" Lunarkit paused as she was laying out the bedding, "can you tell us about the moonstone? Does Starclan really stay there?"
"Well, Lunarkit, let me tell you about what we are here for."
The Moonstone was quickly discovered by Moonstar soon after she met Starclan in a dream, "You will be the guardian of the Moonstone". Moonstar was guided to the moonstone by a light trail, the light came from the moon, making a faint trail to the moonstone. Therefore, Moonclan became the guardian of the moonstone. "Wait, Sunclan and Earthclan don't guard it? How do they get to the Moonstone? It's on our territory!" Moonkit mewed.
"Well, well! The Moonstone is not our territory, you see…"
Sunstar and Earthstar could not agree that the moonstone was only for Moonclan, so Moonstar decided that the moonstone would be for anyone to enter, but it will still be guarded from rouges and loners.
"Moonkit! Lunarkit! Come back to the nursery right now!" yowled Dovetalon
"Looks like you better go back now." Lightfeather sighed.
Lunarkit drooped her tail. Hmph! I'll listen to the rest of that story later. Just you wait, Lightfeather! She thought as she bounced across the clearing.
