Crippling Ice: The Return

I need a cool little intro thing... hmm... how about "You just lost the Game?"

Chpater 1- Hope Rising- Leopardspot
Leopardspot gazed at the ground, contemplating the prophecy. How could Fireclaw fight Iceleaf? Had the battle already been fought, and Iceleaf won? What part did she play? If only I wasn't stuck in this tree! Leopardspot watched Iceleaf walk back out of the den, then turn around to start talking to Longclaw.

"I swear I scent Thunderclan." Longclaw parted his jaws again.

"It's just the scent from the cats back there. Don't worry, nobody will find this place." Iceleaf pursuaded Longclaw. "However, if you feel so strongly, you can go check around." Longclaw nodded and left. Leopardspot watched Iceleaf stare after him for a moment, then sit down to keep watch.

''What if there is a Thunderclan cat here, waiting to save us? What if Longclaw finds them and drags them back here?  Leopardspot started to close her eyes, hoping to fall asleep and return to Starclan to learn more. ''She drifted away into darkness.

Leopardspot felt a strange feeling. She wasn't standing or lying down. She was moving, or at least, that's how it felt. It was too dark to tell. It was then she realized she was falling, faster and faster, only going down. She hoped that when she landed it wouldn't hurt that much.

The tunnel Leopardspot was falling through opened up to a light, leading to a couple of rocks out in the open next to a river and a waterfall. She hit the ground, but it didn't hurt. She stood up straight and looked up, wondering what she fell out of. There was nothing but sky. She saw two other cats sitting on the rocks, talking. Leopardspot moved in, hoping to hear what they were talking about.

"You couldn't have made it more obvious, Dewnose. Honestly."

"I know, Smallstar, but if Blackleaf-" Leopardspot flinched when she heard Blackleaf's name, "-won't do anything, we had to tell a cat who would."

Smallstar flicked his tail in annoyance. "Even if that cat can't warn her clan?"

"She can warn part of the clan."

"Well, maybe you can explain more to her. She seems to have come back." Smallstar pointed at Leopardspot with his tail. Leopardspot stepped back in fear, but she fell into another tunnel, this time back into the real world.
