Prologue: Rage's Story Part 1

Prologue: Rage's Story Part 1
     Long ago, the forest we live in was a wasteland full of savage cats.  They fought for the smallest scraps of food and lived by no code at all.  Cats died before more could be born.  One day, a beautiful she-cat appeared before all the cats.  She sat upon the large stone as the cats gathered around her, amazed.
"My name is Spottedleaf," she said as soon as all the cats had gathered.  "I am concerned about your way of living and how many cats are dying," she said.  "I come from a land where all cats are respected and cared for, no matter how young or old they are,"
Whispers of excitement spread through the crowd.
   "I live in a place where cats are bound by a code that keeps us in order where we can enjoy ourselves but have order.  We live in four clans with different cats in each clan.  I would like to establish this way of living among you all so that you may all live long, happy lives."  Cheers began to come from the crowd.           "However," Spottedleaf continued, "To do that, you must be rid of all the dangerous predators and gather your strength," she said.
"And just how do you think we can do that?" a sneer said in the crowd. A strong, fierce black cat made his way to face Spottedleaf.  "My name is Rage," he said.  "And I am concerned about how you plan to do that," Rage said.  Rage didn't challenge Spottedleaf, he was just concerned about the group of cats he had come to love.
"You shall lead them, Rage," Spottedleaf said.
Rage stared at her.
"You shall lead the cats to victory and dispose of all the predators and dangers in this territory.  As soon as your job is done, I will come and speak to you all about the clans once more," Spottedleaf said.  "It will take a lot of power to lead these cats to victory.  I will give you the strength to lead them,"  Rage felt a chill go through his body, down to the bones.  Suddenly he felt powerful, and the group seemed to pay more attention to him.
"Okay Rage,"  Spottedleaf said.  "You're ready."  As soon as she finished, she vanished.  All eyes looked to Rage.
 "All right then," Rage said, "lets get started."
