Prologue
Eclipsefur dashed through the brush into a small clearing filled with cats, she leaped up onto a rock surrounded by ferns and vines. She shook her pelt of the silver drops that clung to it. “Cats of the clans, we have gathered here today for one of our last announcements before the trek.” Eclipsefur meowed.
“Firestar and his band of cats are going to die at the paws of the Twolegs if we don’t help them, gather all cats welling to come and next gathering we shall go.” Eclipsefur growled flicking her tail.
“Till’ the next time we meet.” She hissed, retreating to the brambles behind the rock.
“Come on Frostclaw.” Eclipsefur meowed, as she stalked away from the group. She could still hear their murmerings,
“Will it work?”
“Is Firestar as good as dead already?”
“Will we die if we don’t follow?”
She hissed, if they wished to die they wouldn’t come with her.
Chapter 1
Lost Stars
Eclipsefur leaped across branches and brambles, she hissed as a thorn snagged her ear.
“Cats of the clans, if you are ready we must get moving.” Eclipsefur hissed from her perch on the rock.
“Come cats!” Frostclaw growled.
It had been a few days after they left, Eclipsefur and the others were in the city now.
Water rooted itself into the rock in which paved the streets of Twoleg Place. Silver-clear drops formed in the sky, splattering down on all under. Eclipsefur lapped up the silver liquid that entangled the rocks.
