Proluge
A white she-cat wandered in the dark murky forest yowling for help.

After what seemed like five moons of not finding any help, she tripped over a root that was hidden in the fog and when she got back up, she saw a ugly, Gray tom with a hairless tail and icy blue eyes and one tangled, bloody paw.

She shrieked and turned to run but her paws seemed to turn to stone. " Help!" The white she-cat yowled,

but no one answered. She turned to the ugly tome and the tom said in a gruffy, crackly voice

," Froststar, be still and listen. My name is Lichen Of A Old Rock. but call me Lichen. Are you ready for this message?"

Froststar nodded slowly, her brown eyes streched so wide, they showed whites. Lichen talked clearly for the first time

" Of all the streams, Clouds, Trees, And skies.Only two will have the talon of a feather but the courage of a lion to save the forest.

Chapter 1- Talonkit
Talon kit woke up to the sun, shining clearly rose to about sunhigh. He had never slept this late!

He scrambled out of his nest, without waking his mother, Snowclaw up. He saw Featherkit wake up. He saw her yan and say

"You mouse-brain. You woke me up!" She scrambled out of the nest.

Talonkit pounced on his sister and they rolled out and into the scorched clearing of the camp. There has been a drought going on for about a few sunrises and Talonkit had been getting alot of water. He was snapped out of his thoughts of Featherkit yowling,

" I'm hungry, Let's see if the sun high patrol brought me back a nice, warm vole." Vole was Featherkit's faverite. Talonkit's faverite was squirrel and he looked at the pile, he found the perfect squirrel, a nice juicy one.

He took and ate it slowly, Unlike his sister who wolfed hers down. after his squirrel he pounced on his sister, throwing her off his back like Thornpaw had taught him.

Featherkit turned around sharply and pretended to jump onto his back and when Talonkit rose up to meet her, she dropped back down and shot underneath him, taking out his legs but bieng caught underneath him. They tussled and turn and Talonkit wound up ontop of his sister and then he was cuaght by surprise when his mother, Snowclaw hauled him and his sister inside and said

"What are you two doing? Your apprentice ceremony is in a few heartbeats! Now let me clean you up!" She cleaned them up, smoothing down Talonkit's white tail. Soon his father, Thistlethorn walked in proudly and meowed

" The Clan is waiting. Lets go!" He proudly walked out of the nursery with Talonkit and Featherkit. Thistlethorn stopped them five tail lengths away from Froststar, who looked skittish but she meowed

" Talonkit, Please step foward."

Chapter 2- Featherkit
''Featherkit watched jelously as Talonkit stepped foward. ''

Featherkit listened to Froststar" Talonkit, From now on, Until you recieve your warrior name, you shall be known a Talonpaw. Brambletalon, please come foward." Brambletalon, The Clan deputy stepped foward, His last apprentice and Featherkit's sibling, Falconpaw had been murderd by Darknight, a NightClan cat, They found his body teared apart limb by limb. Featherkit shuddered by listened to Froststar.

"Brambletalon, Your last apprentice, Falconpaw had been killed but you have proven many times over as a great menotr. Use your knowlage and skill to pass onto Talonpaw."

Talonpaw happily stepped foward and touched noses with his mentor and steped back. Now it's my turn! She uquickly licked her one pale gray paw and swiped it over her ear, removing a fluff ball. She proudly heard Froststar say

"Featherkit, Please step foward"

Featherkit did.

"Featherkit, from now on until you recieve your warrior name you shall be known as Featherpaw. Sandfoot, Please come foward."

Yes!

"Sandfoot, You shall be mentor to Featherpaw. Pass all your battle skills and hunting skills onto Featherpaw."

Featherpaw stepped foward towards the black she-cat, she quickly glances at Sandfoot's one ginger foot, glad she wasn't the only wierd one with the one dis-colored foot. After the ceremony, It seemed like a million cats came forward, crushin her. It was over in a matter of heartbeats and she was left standing beside her mentor.

Sandfoot meowed," Would you like to chose a nest then we will go hunting?" Featherpaw nodded happily and went off towards the apprentice den. She chose a nest beside Talonpaw and Lionpaw, The handsome golden tom and hopped over Goldpaw and ran up to her mentor and begged" Can we go?" Sandfoot chuckled and nodded. They ran through the barrier and swam through the deep river, It tossed her over and soon she was lost in the deep waters.
