Hi, this is my first fanfiction ever so I hope you enjoy it! I really wanted to try to bring in the ancient legend of Lionclan so here is my idea. Please read & Review, it really means a lot to me!

I do not own Warriors, only this particular storyline. (And the new characters added )

~Chapter 1~

"Moonkit, you must remember where the herb can be found, they are Squirrelflight's only hope," A pale outline of a white she-cat stood in front of Moonkit. Moonkit was about to reply to the cat with stars in her fur when the sound of coughing awakened her. Opening her eyes, Moonkit found herself in the Thunderclan nursery, nestled against Squirrelflight's belly with her two sisters, Hollykit and Flowerkit. She and her littermates were currently three moons old, born two moons after the legendary battle with the Dark Forest warriors. A few days ago Squirrelflight had developed a cough there was a worry that it would turn into greencough, especially now that catmint was not curing the cough. Moonkit was woken every night by Squirrelflight jostling her as her mother broke into fits of coughing. She was always jerked awake before she could ask the white she-cat who she was.

Sunlight filtered into the nursery, figuring it must be near sunhigh, Moonkit quietly woke her siblings before slipping out of the brambles. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath highledge." Her father's voice startled Moonkit. Spinning around, she saw cats slipping out of their dens and gathering below the highledge. Moonkit spotted Lilycloud and Snownose fussing over Sunkit and Dappledkit. It must be their apprentice ceremony today! Moonkit thought, jealousy burning her pelt. The she realised she would be able to sneak away.

"Can we go watch the apprentice ceremony?" Moonkit climbed back into the nursery and with Flowerkit were bugging Squirrelflight.

"Yes, just be quiet and don't interrupt the ceremony," with that, Squirrelflight rolled over and went back to sleep in a fit of coughing.

` Moonkit, Hollykit and Flowerkit sat near the back of the crowd and craned their necks to see what was happening.

"Sunkit, from this moment until," Moonkit backed away, "you receive your warrior," she ducked through the thorn tunnel, "name, you shall be known as Sunpaw…" Moonkit was dashing away from camp, leaving the sounds of her clanmates behind. She had travelled this way during her dream so her paws knew where to take her. Swerving into the clearing, Moonkit skidded to a stop in front of the bush with dark purple berries. Panting hard she stripped a few branches of their leaves. Suddenly Moonkit felt hot breath on her back, turning around she saw a russet furred animal three times her size standing over her. The name flashed in her mind. Fox.

Terror sent adrenaline pumping through her and Moonkit dropped into an attack crouch and without thinking lashed out with a flurry of blows to the fox's muzzle. The power behind the blows and the accuracy of her claws scared Moonkit but she knew she was fighting for her life. A voice in her head guided her as she ducked under the fox and bit its hind legs before leaping onto the fox's back and raking her hind claws done its spine. The whimpered with pain and struggled out of her grip as Lionblaze and Dovewing burst out of the bracken. Dropping down beside the two warriors, Moonkit collapsed with exhaustion and Dovewing stared at her.

"Did you fight of that fox yourself?" Lionblaze questioned her. Moonkit nodded her head and staggered to her paws, heading in the direction of the leaves she left lying at the bottom of the bush. "Even full grown warriors have trouble fighting off foxes single pawed so how did a kit manage it without a scratch," Moonkit heard Dovewing whisper to Lionblaze.

"Hey, get away from the deathberry bush!" Moonkit jumped as she heard Lionblaze's in her ear.

"I need the leaves for Squirrelflight to cure her cough," Moonkit picked up the leaves and headed back to camp. She could feel Lionblaze's gaze on her but she held her head high and padded all the way back to camp.

"Jayfeather, Moonkit says these deathberry leaves will help Squirrelflight since the catmint is not working," Lionblaze had followed her into the medicine cat's den.

"I have never heard of deathberry leaves being useful, I always assumed they were as poisonous as the berries, how did you come across this discovery?" The blind medicine cat walked towards Moonkit.

"I had a dream," Moonkit stammered, she heard a voice next to her ear. " Tell Jayfeather my name, my name is Half Moon."

"Half Moon told me," Moonkit heard Jayfeather suck in his breath, did he know who Half Moon was?

"I will give Squirrelflight the leaves but you must go find Bramblestar, he will be worried," Jayfeather turned away, dismissing her from the medicine cat's den. Stepping outside the den, Bramblestar was pacing. Upon seeing Moonkit, he rushed forward to give her lick," Where were you, your mother and I were worried sick!"

Moonkit looked her father in the eye, "I'm sorry but I had to get herbs to help Squirrelflight, her cough was getting worse."

"You should have come to me, you know kits are not allowed out of the camp." Moonkit knew worry was fuelling his anger but she still shrank away from her father's gaze.

"Now go to the nursery and stay there, tonight is the gathering and I don't want to be late for it," Bramblestar turned away to speak with Brackenfur, dismissing Moonkit.

"Hey Moonkit, Dappledpaw and I are finally apprentices! I'm so glad that Bramblestar chose Bumblestripe as my mentor! I think Dappledpaw is happy with Blossomfall as her mentor too!" Sunpaw ran up to Moonkit when he saw her. Moonkit tried to look excited by tiredness was dragging at her paws. "I need to go rest up for the gathering, Bumblestripe is letting me go so see you after!" Waving his tail in farewell, Sunpaw raced towards the apprentices' den. Moonkit dragged herself into the nursery andsank down into her nest. Barely feeling Squirrelflight's rasping tongue on her pelt, she drifted into sleep.

Voices woke Moonkit but everyone in the nursery was asleep. She soon realised that she was hearing the Thunderclan cats talking as they made their way across Windclan territory to the gathering.

"You say she fought off this fox all by herself? A kit beating a fox?" Moonkit heard Jayfeather's disbelieving voice.

"Yes, and there was not a single claw mark on her! Her fighting techniques were nothing like Dovewing or I had ever seen! You don't think the Dark Forest is rising again do you?" There was worry in Lionblaze's voice as he voiced his concern. Jayfeather did not respond but Moonkit heard claws scraping wood and guessed they were climbing over the treebridge. Moonkit knew they would not have a chance to continue the discussion until they left the island at the end of the gathering.

Moonkit's eyes were drooping when a voice from the island jerked her awake," Let all the clans gather! I will speak first, for Windclan," Windclan? That must be Onestar speaking, Moonkit thought. "I am sad to announce that one of our warriors, Heathertail died while giving birth, Sedgewhisker has agreed to care for the nameless kit…"

"You're wrong Onestar, I have named the lit Bloodkit," Gasps resounded from the mass of cats in the clearing. "My kit was born in my mates blood and I will not have my kit called by any other name then one that reminds him of his horrid birth." Moonkit guessed this was Breezepelt, having heard that he and Heathertail were mates. Mooonkit closed her eyes, hoping to see Half Moon in her dreams again, and let the black wave of sleep crash over her.

Don't forget to R&R! My next chapter should be up by the end of the week. Enjoy
