New Generation

Prologue
The ginger cat stood. His fur ruffled slightly in the breeze and the 5 other cats stood next to him. they were all staring intently at a pond that allowed them to see all the cats they bwatched over. "It is time" the ginger cat began. "Time for what, lunch?" asked the gray cat. "Oh shut up Graystripe! What is it Firestar?" this was a ginger she-cat. "Be kind Sandstorm, he does not know when he is funny and when we would all like to dunk him in the Moonpool." the white cats whiskers twitched. "Hey-" began Graystripe as Sandstorm laughed. a golden tabby and a blue she-cat stepped foreword. Firestar dipped his head, "Bluestar, Lionheart, welcome!" The 2 newcomers nodded and all the cats settled beside the pool. "The cats need new heros. The 3 are gone, driven into the tunnels by insainity.  The fire is gone.  The questing cats have broken apart.  We need a new generation of heroes." Firestar said with authority. "Only for ThunderClan?" this was Whitestorm speaking. Firestar flicked his ear in acknowledgement but before the ginger tom could speak 3 more cats came from the shadows near the pool. Firestar seemed surprised, "Leopardstar! Blackstar!  Tallstar!  Welcome!" The dappled golden she-cat hissed, "Did you think we would let you choose the fate of the forest without us??" The Tallstar, Blackstar, and Sandstorm all said at once, "Shut up Leopardstar!" the former Riverclan leader sat down but she was tense with anger. firestar stepped foreword with stars in his fur and said "Very well! 3 cats will be chosen from ThunderClan and 1 from each of the other Clans." Leopardstar drew herself brought herself up to argue but stopped when Blackstar muttered "I knew we should have brought Crookedstar instead!" Firestar, Leopardstar, Blackstar, Tallstar, Sandstorm, and Graystripe stood, each taking aturn to stand at the pool and reveal their choice. "Scarkit!" said Leopardstar, showing a ginger kit with a small scar in the pool. "Mosskit!" confirmed Tallstar showing the young black and white kit. "Rainkit!" yowled Blackstar naming the gray she-kit. "Leopardkit!" chose Sandstorm quickly showing the cats a dappledkit with golden fur. "Brightkit" meowed Graystripe naming a black and white tom. Firestar stepped forewords to make the final choice and he showed a she-kit with one black paw, a ringed tail, and brown tabby fur. "Brambleit!"

"It is decided!" yowled the 3 other ThunderClan ancestors. Bluestar stepped forewords, "I have recieved a phropecy that concerns these heros!" withour further ado she stepped foreword and spoke in an ominous tone,"The greatest promise is made to a friend but it can be broken by the thorns of betrayal." the old leader sat down and the other members pondered the meaning of the starnge phropecy. Finally Firestar said "Friend or foe these kits are our only hope. They will be the new generation!' and with that the cats all turned and left.  however if they had stayed but a moment longer they would have seen dark tabb ytom with a white under belly sneek forewords and look at the pool, seeing the kits faces.  After a minute the cat ran back to the shadowy forest that he came from.
