Deep Down

by SoundsLikeLiar

Sagekit is barely six moons old when he's carried off by a shefox. Instead of killing the kit, the fox keeps him as her own and initiates him into her family. Which happens to be an ancient clan of foxes called the Fire Tails. [Full summary inside, R&R]

Ok I promise I'll start actually uploading the real fic soon. I'm in the process of writing the first chapter. A little background info on the foxes: their cubs aren't trained by one fox like a cat's mentor, the whole clan pitches in. The Watcher is the female mate of the Leader. (A Leader can never be a female, that's the way it is). Their version of StarClan is the Star Walkers. The two clans: The Fire Tails and The White Teeth, are mortal enemies and are constantly fighting each other for land.

And that's all I'm saying so far. Enjoy and review!
