The Strongest Rowan

Chapter 1: Swimming!
Rowanfall padded along under the night sky. She was alone, at least for the moment, while she gazed up at the stars. She could feel the presence of her old mentor, Berryblossom, and her other StarClan friends, Snowcrystal and Palesnow, guiding her. how she missed her old clan, WindClan.

She especially missed her love, Heathernose. Even though StarClan didn't want her to love him, and had ordered her to embark on a long journey, she still loved him with all her heart.

"Rowanfall!" came a call from above. Rowanfall looked up the see her lopsided-flying friend, Heartface, flapping down to stand beside her. Heartface was a pretty female Barn Owl with a bent and broken left wing that prevented her from flying well. "There's a stream not far in that direction." Heartface reported, pointing to the right of Rowanfall with a talon.

"That might be a good place to stop for the day." Rowanfall meowed. Since leaving on her journey, she had been traveling by night and sleeping by day for the convinence of Heartface. "We can head in that direction now."

The two walked for maybe half and hour, and Rowanfall knew that morning was coming soon. She would have just enough time to hunt for herself and Heartface, since Heartface couldn't hunt for herself.
