Act 1: Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins

Beginning of Act 1
Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins

     Flamestar sat upon highrock and observed his clan.  It had grown well in the past moons.  Ashfeather and her apprentice Graypaw were learning the newest herbs to heal the clan, and they were learning well and fast.  With quick hunters like Thornclaw and Darkfeather, prey didn't stand a chance, and nor did StormClan stand a chance of entering their borders with strong warriors like Bluefur and Nightpelt.  Sharpfang was a noble deputy and, despite his high rank, was still bossed around by his mate, Snowfur.  According to Graypaw, Snowfur was expecting kits soon.  And Flamestar hoped that it wouldn't be long before he had kits of his own.  He watched as Robinsong carried a squirrel and placed it on the fresh-kill pile.  She was a great hunter, and the only cat in the clan that could catch a squirrel anytime she tried.  She was a beautiful cat, and smart too.  Ashfeather was often complaining about Robinsong taking her job whenever she found an omen, which was often.  She could see one in the timing of a ripple of water, and her prediction would always come true.  Flamestar hoped that she would want to be his mate; he couldn't imagine life without her. Flamestar was just waiting for the right time to ask.  "Flamestar," Flame looked down.  Ashfeather and an ecstatic Graypaw were by the foot of highrock.  "I'm going to take Graypaw to moonpath for her medicine cat ceremony," Ashfeather said.  "That's wonderful, congratulations, Graypaw!"  Flamestar replied.  It would be great to have two medicine cats around, with StormClan always watching them.  Poor Ivystar couldn't seem to keep control of the cats.  Despite her brains, her small size hadn't quite earned the trust of her clanmates.  Flamestar almost felt bad for her.  No, Flamestar thought to himself, I can't be pitying rival leaders.  "See you later Flamestar," Ashfeather said.  "Wish Graypaw luck,"
"I will," Flamestar replied.  Then he hopped down from the highrock and slowly headed toward Robinsong.
