In Justice, There's Love/Prologue

 Beginnings

Shadows strike

Start becomes end

Abandoned and alone

Left to fend

"Moonsong, what are you doing out here so early in the morning?" The gray she-cat turned to see her brother, Thornstrike, watching her from the distance.

"You should know better than to eavesdrop."

"You should know better than to sit on the RushClan border." Thornstrike shot back, half scolding. "You know that we're practically at war with them."

''Which is why we're training hard, and that we have slaves and mere servants. Apprentices start training at four moons old, and they are moved to another training camp once they turn six moons old. At twelve, you're either drafted or told that you shouldn't become a warrior.''

It was insanity.
