Chapter One
Icepaw stiffened as Tawnystar drew her final breath. She knew Tawnystar would die soon, but not this soon. Leafpelt, or now Leafstar, was new leader and her mentor. It was a huge honor to have the leader as your mentor. Quietly she slipped in besides Leafstar in her silent vigil for Tawnystar. Icepaw couldn’t believe that just after a day in the twenty-third mountain, or as it was called by the Clans, the Last Ridge. Legends tell of four other fierce clans on the other side. But those were just kit’s tales, so Skyclan and Darkclan joined together to claim the territory, but it seemed like the tales were true. Finchstripe and Browntail had been with Tawnystar when she was attacked, and they said they had been ambushed by a patrol of cats. The leader of the patrol had been a black tabby tom with blazing green eyes. It was nearly moonhigh, and Leafstar would have to appoint a new deputy soon. Icepaw nudged her mentor to remind her of the ceremony that had to take place. Leafstar stretched out of her crouch and jumped to the top of a boulder. “Our new deputy shall be Snowears!” Leafstar yowled into the night sky. A thousand questions surged through Icepaw’s head. But the one that stuck was ‘Why Snowears?’ Sure, she was the best fighter and hunter in the clan, but she was terribly negative. Her previous apprentice, Lionpool, had always been sullen although he had a beautiful mate and two adorable kits. As Icepaw thought of the kits, she scrabbled up to the top of he bolder and muttered something into Leafstar’s ear. “And we are also apprenticing Ashkit and Redkit” Ashkit crawled behind Redkit, proudly gazing at his mother, Spotteddapple. “Redkit, your mentor shall be Pinefeather. You will now be known as Redpaw until you receive your warrior name” Leafstar ceremonially gave Redpaw a lick on the shoulder, standing patiently while Redpaw licked her in return, then jumped off to join his mentor. “Ashpaw,” Leafstar continued, “Your mentor will be Cloudstorm, from this moment on, you will be known as Ashpaw, until you receive your warrior name” Licking Ashpaw as well. Thusly Leafstar jumped down and told everyone to have a rest. As she cuddled up to her nest, she thought ‘At least we’re home and can give her a proper burial’. Icepaw was dreaming. An old, orange-pelted tom with stars in his paws padded up to her. “Hello, youngster, I’m Jayfeather” The way he said it made it sound like her was Yellowfang. “Okay, Jayfeather, why are you in my dream? Are you from SpiritClan?” Icepaw asked suspiciously. “No. I’m from Starclan” Jayfeather said as a smile played across his lips much like his predecessor, Yellowfang. “What’s Starclan?” Icepaw asked hotly. Then everything went to darkness.
A few days later, Icepaw woke up suddenly, shivering with fear. It was the dream again of Jayfeather again. ‘Just a dream’, Icepaw thought, breathing deeply. She rushed out, hoping to ask Moonwhisker about this so called Starclan. “Moonwhisker! Moonwhisker!” Icepaw yowled. “What, you crazy apprentice?” Moonwhisker grumbled groggily. “What’s Starclan?” Icepaw asked, cocking her head to one side. “Ug, The other four clans’ Spiritclan! Now leave me alone!” Moonwhisker growled. ‘The other four clans’ Spiritclan?’ Icepaw thought to herself. ‘Who could they be? What were their motives? Why, of all things, was he in her dream, not the dream of the mouse-bile worthy other four clans’ leaders’ dreams?’ The questions repeated themselves in her mind.
