Chapter three
The chilly newleaf air ruffled though Ricepaws fur, making her half wish that she was still sleeping in a warm den, instead of searching for herbs.
Moist earth clung to her paws as she carefully picked her way around the edge of the marsh, a huge wad of cobwebs clenched between her jaws.
The bumps and bruises of her clanmates had used up most of the herb supply, so Ricepaw had gone out to find more.
It would take all day, but at least she could ponder about Hammerclaw without being disturbed. Since his warrior ceremony, Hammerclaw had seemed enlightened about his warrior duties.Just then, Ricepaw spotted some horsetail up ahead. Trotting towards it, she suddenly slipped on some wet bark, sliding into a patch of swamp. Angrily, Ricepaw pulled herself out of the damp mud, trying not to spoil the bundle of herbs she was carrying.
"I better go back to camp," she thought glumly.
"There's no use staying out here when I can hardly move."
Back in camp Rice paw was greeted by Palmtail. "Wow, what happened to you?" he asked.
"You don't want to know." replied Ricepaw. "Here, I'll take the herbs, you need some sleep."
"Ok." said Ricepaw as she padded into her den.
Curled up in her nest, Ricepaw felt as if she could sleep for a hundred moons.
She found her self sitting in front of a large ginger tom, starlight reflected in his green eyes.
"Welcome Ricepaw, I am Firestar.
A silvery blue she-cat stepped forward
"Starclan has a prophecy to share with you." the silvery she-cat said.
A chorus of cats began to speak, moonlight shining in their fur.
" The sun must rise silver to save the clan from the hammers blow." they chanted.
"Take heed little one," said Firestar, before he disappeared. "There is a dark power coming that only one cat can stop."
Ricepaw immediatley woke to moonlight shining through the mouth of the den.
"Palmtail, wake up!"
Sorry it's kinda short, I promise I'll write more next chapter!
