Me: Disclaimer Time! I don't own Warriors! My dog does, though!

The Erin's: No, that's only true if we are your dog, which we're not.

Me: Whatever. Let's get to the story.

Beetlestep watched Sagekit sleep in the corner of the nursery. She had to be dreaming; by the way she was moving. Waspkit, however, was in a dreamless state, because he was not really moving except for the slow rise and fall of his chest, signaling he was breathing. Not that any cat had to worry, he was fine. It was about a moon after mom had died from the badger attack.

Sagekit stood in wonder and shock. "Wishkit? Momma?"

"Yes, and I have teamed up with Wishkit to guard everyone important to you. It's not the will of StarClan for our family to fall apart. Wishkit watches, I guard," Swiftwind told her. She pointed with her tail at a jewel with thirteen edges. "In each of these mirrors on the crystal, there is one of your loved ones and you in the largest mirror. Wishkit watches these thirteen mirrors on the crystal and alerts me if something dangerous is about to happen to them. At night, Wishkit shows you how to improve your loyalty. At day, we watch over your loved ones." Sagekit was shocked. Not at that, though. Swiftwind did not have scratches on her back! She just ignored it, though.

Swiftwind had another thing to say. "Upcoming prophecy! Don't tell anyone except the medicine cat or his apprentice. Swarms of canine will invade, only feline wasp can overcome."

"Does—does that mean my brother?"

"You must see for yourself." And just like that, the cats vanished and it was dawn. Sagekit yawned so loudly it woke up half the Clan. "Yay," she yawned and found the fresh-kill that the apprentices had left at the nursery. Fresh vole—that sounded tantalizing, just as much as fat mouse topped with catmint. There was no fat mouse topped with catmint, but, hey, a cat can dream, right?

Sagekit tapped on Beetlestep's shoulder (do cats even have shoulders?) to wake her up. Beetlestep answered with a grumble. "No I'm not gittin' up, Agekit. The clouds are attackin' me…" Sagekit made a conclusion that she was having a crazy dream. Sagekit tapped on her even harder. "We have to eat!" she shouted. Finally Beetlestep came out of her sleep and divided a squirrel into three pieces, one larger than the others. She ate the largest piece. Sagekit gobbled up a piece that she imagined said Sagekit all over it, and Waspkit devoured the only bit of it left. Sagekit Stretched. It was going to be a loooong day.

Author's Note: If you think it's boring, just say so. I would like you to have an impact on the story, so PM me if you have a request about an event, a warrior name, etc… I just had an awesome idea! I should put in the Gathering! Thanks partially to you readers; you will read a Gathering in action.

Jaystar called to the Clan. "It's time to go to the Gathering, the full moon is here," he yowled. The warriors lined up. "Milkpaw and Nightpaw, you can come," he hissed. Jaystar was clearly in a bad mood. He had always been like that since Swiftwind's death.

Once the ThunderClan cats got to the Gathering Place, the leaders spoke out loud. Nutstar, the WindClan leader, started. "Prey has been running fine, and we have two new warriors… "

The next Clan, ShadowClan had the same, except 4 new warriors.

The RiverClan leader shouted." Well, uh we've got four FIERCER warriors! No match for yours!"

"Oh, really?"

The two leaders almost broke out into a full-on battle when thick clouds covered the moon. "The Gathering has been canceled by StarClan. We have broken the peace truce! I mean—you two have broken it. Anyway, we need to hurry back to our Clan," Jaystar meowed.
