Chapter two

Hammerclaw barely noticed the shadows and darkness as he sat vigil. All he could think of was the powerful cats he had met as he was given his warrior name. Tigerstar, the largest tabby, had first addressed him.

"Hammerclaw, I have long awaited the moment that my heir would become a warrior." Tigerstar had told him. "You are the rightful one that will succeed to finish the last part of our plan. I am Tigerstar, Shadowclan leader of old. I would have taken over the whole forest, but that kittypet fool had to get in my way so my plan was stopped." Tigerstar motioned for the two other tabbys to advance.

"These are both my sons, who carried out the second part of my plan. There are many things you can learn from them." The first tabby stepped forward.

"This is Hawkfrost of Riverclan. He had the right idea but was killed before he could succeed." Hammerclaw felt Hawkfrosts gaze sweep over him, and then as if consenting to what he saw, nodded, and then change places with the second tabby.

"And this is Bramblestar of Thunderclan. He convinced Firestar to merge four clans into two, before he became leader, and started weeding out all impure cats in Thunderclan, making it the clan I always wanted it to be."Bramblestar looked even more powerful than Hawkfrost, but his expression was kinder, he touched noses with Hammerclaw before turning to stand next to Hawkfrost.

"And this is Jayfeather, medicine cat of Thunderclan, son of Brambleclaw." The gray tom stepped to Tigerstars side."He was born blind but possessed an unusual power, the power to look into the minds of cats and travel through others dreams. He used that power to help me and in return I granted him sight." Jayfeather eyes shone with dark knowledge, their jay blue depths the same color as Hammerclaws but lacking innocence. It was easy for Hammerclaw to imagine those eyes peering into his dreams.

"Now we must go Hammerclaw, but we will meet again." said Tigerstar. "It was an honor to meet you, Tigerstar." replied Hammerclaw. "May Starclan light your path."

Note for Bramblestar fans: Bramblestar is not completly evil!!!!!!! He was just possesed when he died.
