-Prologue-
On a field of dead grass, two cats fought. One was a black tom with a white tail-tip and glowing red eyes. The other, a snow white tom with a black tail-tip and glowing gold eyes.

"Stop fighting me, brother. It is no use," snarled the black tom.

"As long as you remain here, I will continue to fight," hissed the white tom.

In the distance, you could hear cats wailing. Watching the two cats, was a russet she-cat. Her white muzzle shone with stars and her green eyes were sad.

"Brightsoul. I will let you live if you leave now," suggested the black tom.

"Never, Darkspirit," the white tom, Brightsoul, declined.

"Why not, brother? As long as we are both here, Flamingsoot can't leave," the black tom, Darkspirit, asked.

Darkspirit flicked his tail at the russet she-cat, Flamingsoot.

"She will not leave until you are defeated," Brightsoul snarled.

The two cats continued to fight. Flamingsoot looked up at the sky.

"StarClan save my grand-child," she murmured.

Chapter 1
I watched as three of my four kits stumbled around the nursery, eyes open for the first time. My shaggy gray tom, Wolfkit, had beautiful blue eyes like his father. So did my white tortie she-kit with black speckles around her face, Specklekit. Robinkit, a red-brown she-kit with a white tail-tip, had bright green eyes like my deceased mother. My fourth kit, Flamingkit, was a black tom with a russet tail-tip. He hadn't opened his eyes yet. Wolfkit, Specklekit, and Robinkit started to wrestle with Gingerkit and Redkit. Redkit was a russet tom with a white chest and green eyes and Gingerkit was a white she-kit with ginger patches and blue-gray eyes. They were my brother, Solarflare, and my friend, Sharptongue's kits. I licked Flamingkit gently.

"You can open your eyes when ever you want," I murmured to him.

He nodded and opened his eyes. They were blood red. I purred at him. I thought his eyes were beautiful.

"I like your eyes," he murmured to me.

"I like yours, too," I responded.

He got up and walked over to his kin and they greeted him warmly. I watched them play a game.

"I am Wolfstar, leader of WindClan! These are my Warriors, Gingerspots and Speckleface!" Wolfkit squeaked to Flamingkit, Redkit, and Robinkit.

Specklekit and Gingerkit stood next to Wolfkit proudly.

"Well, I am Flamingstar, leader of ThunderClan! These are MY Warriors, Redpelt and Robinwing!" Flamingkit boasted.

Redkit and Robinkit held their chins up proudly next to Flamingkit. Solarflare and Nightowl entered the nursery and the kits turned around.

"Oh no! ShadowClan Warriors! WindClan attack!" Wolfkit yowled and jumped at Solarflare, followed by Gingerkit and Specklekit.

"ThunderClan, to me!" Flamingkit yowled and launched himself at Nightowl.

Solarflare and Nightowl played with the six kits gently. Nightowl plopped onto the ground.

"Great StarClan! You win! You win!" he panted.

Solarflare did the same. Flamingkit seemed like the leader type.

"Let's go outside. You can play rough out there," I said and got up.

Sharptongue and I ushered the kits and two toms outside. The kits looked around, eyes wide. It wasn't too long before they began to wrestle again. I sat next to Nightowl and leaned against him. Sharptongue and Solarflare went to the fresh-kill pile. I stiffened when I saw Shadowheart watching the kits. Flamingkit totted over to me and I saw Shadowheart's eyes follow him.

"Can we go to the elders for a story?" my black tom asked.

"The apprentices are in there right now. Wait untill later," I said.
