    • You know what? No one really cares about any of the other Clans. So I’ll just start the darn story

  • PROLOGUE

    ~Scorchcloud~

    “Come on! Push! I can see it!” Honeyfall encouraged as Scorchcloud pushed with all her might.
    Finally, the last kit came out. Twigshade’s sharp fangs cut through the delicate sac. Icefur let in a very stressed Smokewhisker, who had been escorted from the nursery due to the fact that he had been discrcting everyone with his constant pacing and questioning. “Is she okay?” he asked Icefur. “Are the kits okay?”
    “They’re beautiful,” Scorchcloud murmured. “One of the she-kits looks just like you. I think her name should be Sootkit. She looks like she’s covered in soot.” She looked at Sootkit, love filling her eyes as she watched the tiny kit suckling.
    “How about we name the tom Fallenkit?” Smokewhisker suggested. “He turned completely around in a circle before he started suckling, just like a falling leaf.”
    “That’s a great name for him,” Scorchcloud told Smokewhisker. “What should we name the last one?”
    “Maybe… Snakekit,” Smokewhisker said.
    “I like that,” Scorchcloud purred happily. “She seems very graceful, like a snake. Snakekit it is, then.”

  • ~Aspenstar~

    Aspenstar woke up in a grassy, starlit area. “Hello?” she called.
    Suddenly, a misty she-cat with stars sprinkled all over her pelt appeared. “Hello, Aspenstar,” the she-cat said. “My name is Leafheart. I was your medicine cat before Twigshade. I have been sent by the ranks of StarClan to give you a very important warning that may change the fate of your entire Clan.” Leafheart’s eyes grew strangely distant, as though she could see something that Aspenstar could not. “Fire’s destruction will seem unstoppable, but the viper will beat it.” Her eyes returned to normal. “Farewell, Aspenstar,” she mewed. “My time with you has come to an end… ”
    Leafheart faded as Aspenstar said, “Wait! But I still have so many questions! What fire? What viper? Come back!” Her cries melted into the air as she, too, disappeared.
    Aspenstar’s eyes flew open as her dream ended. The words of Leafheart still echoed in her mind; Fire’s destruction will seem too powerful, but the viper will beat it. She was puzzled as to what the meaning of the message could be. There were no snakes of any kind in their territory, and fire would never reach them in the camp.
    She watched from the Announcement Rock as Smokewhisker trotted out of the nursery, purring loudly. Aspenstar could hear the soft mewling of kits through the bracken that protected the nursery. Scorchcloud’s kits must have been born!, she thought excitedly. She wondered what their names were, and what they looked like. Forgetting all about Leafheart and StarClan’s message, she leaped off of the Announcement Rock, on her way to meet IceClan’s new future warriors.
