Prologue
Screeches of cats filled the cool night air. Cats were clawing, spitting, hissing and fighting each other. A large oak tree stood in the middle of the clearing, its branches leaning over the cats. Dark clouds loomed over to the moon, making the night black, the stars seeming to fade away into nothing. Thunder started to strike, rain pelting down on the cats as they fought. A large creaking made the cats freeze and stare at the large oak tree. It was swaying in the harsh wind. The cats looked up at the sky, a lighting bolt struck the tree, setting it on flames. The cats started to scatter, yowling in desperation, their tails between their legs as they ran. The cats stood behind bushes, marshes, trees, whatever they could find to shelter themselves. The tree burned, its lush green leaves blackening and falling. The rain pelted harder as the leaves in the tree crackled.
The cats slowly began to creep out of their hiding places, whispering to one another.
???This is a sign!??? A white tom with green eyes croaked, shivering in the rain, his pelt drenched.
???StarClan is angry!??? A gray blue she-cat said in a frightened voice, her ears flat against her head as she whimpered slightly. A light brown she-cat with darker tabby markings yowled, her voice ringing through the trees as she spoke.
???All clans must go back to their clan immediatly!??? She said, her dull yellow gaze sweeping over the cats.
???What if the fire spreads???? A tiny voice peeped up, and all cats turned to see and little apprentice cowering in fear as the fire reflected off his golden eyes. His brown and black pelt quivering with fear.
???As you can see, it is raining. It is already dying down.??? She growled, her fur standing on end. She bounded away, flicking her tail for her clan to follow, her eyes glaring and fierce as she padded strongly forward. The three clans left whispered in axiety to one another, speaking and then glancing at the burning tree. The rain grew light and then stopped and cats gazes looked up slowly at the tree. The beautiful oak tree with lush leaves was burned, all its leaves were on the ground, blackened and burned. Its branches were black, and no leaves hung on them. A black she-cat bounded over to the tree and looked over it. She turned and looked over the cats.
???From this day fourth, cats will no longer meet at Green Tree, we will meet at Fire Tree.??? She said and dipped her head, bounding back to her clan with a graceful bounce and padded away, flicking her long tail for her clan to get back to camp. A black tom with a white dappled pelt and a gray muzzle nodded slowly, scratches across his shoulder and flank. He limped away, his shoulders sagging in exhausted as a golden she-cat quickly padded up to him and supported him on her shoulder, the clan of cats following them slowly, casting glances at the newley named tree. A white she-cat with gray stripes nodded and swiftly padded away towards her own territory, her cats following her as well. Ashes fell down from the tree, the blackened leaves already being swept away from the wind. Embers were doused on the ground, and Fire Tree stood, where starry figures began emerging, murmering to each other.
???The cats need to stop fighting.??? A voice said, his eyes shining with much wisdom. ???They need to begin a new era.???
Chapter 1
Dapplestar sat in his den, looking at his paws. He got up slowly and then padded forwarded.
???I am going for a walk Goldentail.??? He rasped. Goldentail shot to her paws.
???Want me to assist???? She asked, her eyes full of concern.
???No. I am walking by myself.??? He said, padding out of the camp. He came towards the border by RiverClan and stopped by the river. He looked at his reflection. His muzzle was heavily tinted with gray streaks, and his whiskers seemed to droop. His pelt has become very faded, and his once jet black coat became more pale and dusty. He sighed heavily and started to pad back to camp. Goldentail would be a good leader, she had all the qualities, and unquestionable courage and loyalty. He was on his last life, and StarClan had already told him that he was today this very day. He had waited many moons in agony, waiting for this dreadful day. He felt calm, and as he padded into camp he smiled at every cat. He sat in his den, and closed his eyes. He drew in one raspy breath, and grew stiff. Goldentail padded into Dapplestars den, looking around and seeing Dapplestar. Tears swiftly glided down her cheek as she rushed up to her leader. She prodded him with her paw, but it only followed silence that echoed the large den. Her den. She dipped her head as the tears dropped to the smooth stone floor. She grabbed his body and lifted it into the clearing. Cat watched with stretched out wide eyes and gasps and grieving yowls, some accusing Goldentail of his death.
???I did not kill Dapplestar.??? She vowed in a tone that made every cat fall silent.
???As you can see, Dapplestar has no bite marks or scratches on him, nor on me.??? She said strongly, looking over every cat.
???He had lost his last life, due to his old age. I now am your leader. I greive deeply for the fallen leader, who gave up all his nine lives for his clan.???Goldentail dipped her head so low her ears brushed the ground. Her eyes were glazed with sadness. She would be leader now. How could she possibly be leader? She could never live up to Dapplestar. And taking the name???she swallowed the bile in her throat. Goldenstar. She sighed and sat next to Dapplestar.
???Oh Dapplestar, why did you have to leave me???? She whispered.
Goldentail padded into the medicine cat den.
???Er, Nightfrost???? She asked awkwardly, poking her head into the medicine cat den.
???Yes???? Nightfrost answered, looking up from his herbs to Goldentail.
???Ahh???traveling herbs, yes.??? He said, shuffling through the herb store.
???Yes yes, these shall do.??? He murmered. Goldentail sat down on the floor of the medicine cat den, staring at all the herbs. She took in a deep breath and looked at the wrap of herbs Nightfrost had gathered up for her.
???Alright, here you go. May StarClan light you path, Goldentail.??? He said as he smiled at her, his frost eyes glittering as the moonlight shafted in. Goldentail took the herbs and gave a thankful nod to Nightfrost. She ate them up quickly, licking away the disgusting taste. She padded out of the den and looked around the ThunderClan camp. She strode strongly out of camp, the cats watching her go with wide eyes, some not taking their eyes off the fallen leader. After the gorse tunnel disappeared behind her the forest burst out infront of her. The lush green leaves turned pale silver under the moonlight that peeked out from above the tree. She looked around at the shadows, and a chill shook her slender body. A strong wind gusted against the trees and fear crept along Goldentail???s spine. There was an uneasiness about the forest this particular night. ???It???s just my imagination??? Goldentail repeated to herself in her head, shaking her head as if to clear the bad thoughts away. She got to the border of ShadowClan and took a paw into their border. A rustle in the bushes made her jump, the hair on her neck rise. A frog hopped out and hopped along, croaking. Goldentail laughed quietly to herself and then turned around and saw the shape of a cat in the shadows. She stood frozen, her muscles tensing up.
???Oh Goldentail, hello.??? A voice said from beyond the shadows. Goldentail instantly relaxed, she had hear that friendly voice before.
???Hello. How is ShadowClan???? She said kindly.
???Oh, ShadowClan is just fine.??? The voice said, as the cat stepped out in the moonlight.
???Very fine.??? The cat growled, and leapt at Goldentail. Goldentail screeched as the cat bit hard into her neck. Blood welled from her neck.
???H-How could you d-do this.??? She choked out before she drew in her last ragged breath. The cat stood their, their jaws dripping with the blood of Goldentail.
???ThunderClan will now rot to the core as they try and find out who will be leader now.??? The cat growled and grabbed Goldentails body, bouding away.
Chapter 2
Nightfrost fumbled with his herbs, grumbling quitly to himself while he put some poultice on Sagepaw's cut shoulder.
"Alright, you are free to go Sagepaw but please, try not to try and find a secret entrace through a thorn bush next time." He mewed with a sigh. Sagepaw nodded and smiled.
"I will try!" She exclaimed, bounding out of the medicine cat den. Nightfrost sighed. Goldentail should be back by now. He was getting worried...'What if StarClan didn't give her nine lives to her?' He fretted, flicking his tail and shuffling his paws in anxeity. He heard a patrol coming through the gorse tunnel...maybe Goldentail was with them...or Golden/star/. He heard yowels and shocked mews and sat bolt upright, his fur standing on end. 'What is going on this time?' He thought to himself as he padded out of the medicine cat den to find out. He saw a body covered in dust, dirt, and dried blood. His blue eyes stretched as far as they possibly could. 'G-G-Golden fur? No, no, no, no...that...that couldn't be Goldentail!' He screamed to himself. He prodded the body and it turned over, revealing the shocked and still face of Goldentail. Nightfrost gasped.
"So now.....who is going to be leader?" Nightfrost asked, gazing at every cat with wide, shocked eyes. One single question drove everyone insane. People started clawing and spitting, arguing about being leader. Nightfrost watched the sudden angry dispute that had happened so quickly.
"Stop!" A cat yowled roughly. Every cat stopped their fighting and looked up at the demanding cat. Darkflame looked over the cats, his golden eyes searching.
"Nightfrost will simply speak with StarClan, they will tell him the right leader." He mewed strongly. The cats nodded and started apoligizing to the cats they had hurt. Their clanmates. Nightfrost nodded bleakly, still unaware of what just happened. It had started just a fast as it had stopped.
