Book 1 - Chapter 7

"What is out there?" Cinderstar leapt down from the tree and raced out of the camp. He returned and announced there was nothing anymore. He then spoke up again. "Do you think we should move to a new territory?" "There are to many threats here," Dawnstar agreed. Redstar chimed in, "There are humans, Darkfinch the loner and his cats, there are always foxes and badgers and leaf-bare." Tigerstar was nodding at everything they said. Then he said, "The leaders will see their deputies and medicine cats in my den right now." The cats went into Tigerstar's den. "Tawnybird is expecting my kits," said Shadowleaf to the cats. There were murmurs of congratulations. Tigerstar came back out and leapt up in the birch tree. He called to the assembled clan, "the leaders and I have decided that for the good of Fishclan we are going to move to a different home." There were some gasps from the assembled clan. Tigerstar signaled for quiet. "We leave in 3 days at sunrise. Medicine cats please gather herbs." Cinderstar leapt down from the tree just as Darkfinch and his cats burst into the camp again. Darkfinch turned to Cinderstar and spat, "I thought you would give up and just fade away after all when I left you wounded in the Waterclan camp you only had 2 lives. Then Blackstorm went and took your 2nd to last life only moments ago." he turned to Redstar. "You are lucky we didn't kill you when we had the chance you are just a fading elder why don't you retire and leave the important decision making to the young cats who can actually make good choices." He looked at Dawnstar. "I didn't attack your camp the humans did that for me but I should have when you were weak anyway." "WHY ARE YOU HERE?" snarled Tigerstar. "To finish what I started," said Darkfinch calmly. Darkfinch jumped on Cinderstar and raked his back with churning hind paws. Cinderstar collapsed. As the other leaders jumped down from the Birch Tree. Waves upon waves of loners following Darkfinch flooded into the camp. 

Book 1 - Chapter 6

Dawnstar nodded. "I like the idea. But which clan name would we keep and who would be the leader, the deputy, the senior warrior and the medicine cat." "I have an idea," said Redstar. "How about the current leaders, medicine cats, deputies and senior warriors work together form each clan. After all for leaders die the 4 deputies take the 4 leaders positions. Then they work together to choose 1 new senior warrior. The same way for the medicine cats. They still train their apprentice together and when the apprentices become the medicines cat they choose one new apprentice until there is only one cat being leader, deputy, senior warrior and medicine cat." Cinderstar nodded in agreement, then said. "What is the clan name going to be?" Tigerstar looked thoughtful then said how about we let the cats choose. The deputies, leaders, senior warriors, and medicine cats cannot vote though?" "OK," mewed the other 3 leaders together. "Cats of all clans! We need to choose a clan name for our one big clan. We are going to use one of the clan names already out there. You are going to vote on the name. There are some cats that cannot vote though. Leaders, Deputies, Senior Warriors, Medicine Cats and Medicine Cat apprentices cannot vote. Redstar, Dawnstar, Cinderstar and I are going to represent each clan name. If you want the name Fishclan stand near me. If you want Mossclan go to Redstar. If you want Riverclan go to Dawnstar. Go to Cinderstar if you want the name to be Waterclan and come to me if you want the clan name to be Fishclan. Deputies go to the leader you had before and count the cats then tell you leader the number of cats who voted for that clan name. Please move now." The cats moved away moving to the leader who held the clan name they wanted. The deputies moved away counting the cats. "Cinderstar 4 cats voted for the name water clan," called Dustfur. "7 cats voted for Riverclan Dawnstar," said Ashflower.  "How many cats voted for Mossclan Hollowstripe?" Hollowstripe replied "9 cats Redstar." "13 cats voted for the name Fishclan Tigerstripe." "The name Fishclan wins," called Tigerstar. Mumblefur was stared out for the entrance tunnel with pricked ears and a curious gaze. "What is it Mumblefur?" asked Redstar. "There is something out there Redstar."

Book 1 - Chapter 5

Waterclan and the other cats staggered into the Fishclan camp. "I have news," said Oceanstar. "Greenwhisker never had permission to tell you that you could stay with us. You can stay but Greenwhisker is no longer the senior warrior of Fishclan." The cats began mewing about each other. "I must choose another senior warrior to replace Greenwhisker." I say..." Oceanstar was interrupted when Milkfur of Waterclan let out a hiss. "What it is Milkfur?" called Cinderstar. "Eagle!" yowled Milkfur. The eagle plunged into the camp in dove towards Mintkit. "Mintkit" screeched Darkflower. "Look out!" Mintkit turned and ran towards Silverfrost. The Eagle swooped down and snatched Mintkit. Oceanstar leapt from his perch and the Eagle let go of Mintkit. The eagle shook off Oceanstar who fell and hit the ground with a thud. The eagle gave a screech and took to the sky. "Oceanstar?" "Oceanstar lost his last life," cried Shadowleaf. Emberberry leapt up from his spot with the other medicine cats.  "You are our leader now Tigerstripe." Tigerstripe nodded. "Tonight I will go to the Sparkle Tree tonight to earn my Leader name. First I need a deputy. Originally it should of been Greenwhisker but Oceanstar made Greenwhisker a normal warrior right before he died so I need a different deputy. Berryfur will you be my deputy?" Berryfur nodded. "Now I also need to  appoint a Senior warrior. Cedarfur will you be the senior warrior?" "Yes Tigerstripe." "Emberberry we must go to the Sparkle tree at once." Emberberry nodded. "Let us go." Emberberry and Tigerstripe raced out of the camp.  The next day they returned. "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join underneath the birch tree for a clan meeting. Dawnstar, Redstar Cinderstar I have an idea that might benefit all the clans. We join together to make one big can. There would be 1 leader. 1 Deputy. 1 senior warrior and everybody else was whatever they were before. What do you think?"

Warrior Ranks

Leader - The leader is the leader of their clan. They are given 9 lives by Starclan. They choose a their deputy. The leader is the highest rank. They report at gatherings and they decide whether to go into battle. Also if they should take in outsiders. (In the actual warrior books Firestar takes in Daisy a cat from a human stable.) When making the hardest decisions the leader meets with the deputy, the senior warrior, the medicine cat and if the warrior is lucky some of the leader's most trusted cats. (for Firestar he might meet with Brambleclaw, Jayfeather, and sometimes Dustpelt, Brackenfur, Sandstorm and Graystripe)

Deputy - To have the rank of deputy is an honor because the deputy might one day be the leader of their clan. The deputy organizes the patrols. He or she also helps the leader on the toughest decisions. 

(In my version of warriors) Senior Warrior - In the true warrior books their is no senior warrior. In my version there is. If the deputy retires or is killed the senior warriors takes the deputy position. If the deputy is just ill or helping another clan the senior warrior fills in for the deputy. (then he or she returns to the senior warrior position when the deputy gets better or returns) The senior warrior makes sure every cat is doing what they are supposed to be doing or they are were they are supposed to be. The senior warrior makes sure all the patrols go out on time and that the kits stay in the camp and don't go wandering off. 

Medicine Cat - The medicine cat is in charge of sharing dreams with Starclan, interoperating omens from Starclan and healing their clan. The medicine cat gathers herbs and takes care of the clan is some cat is ill.

Warrior - Warriors hunt and fight for their clan. They patrol boundaries and fight other clans when it is necessary. Warriors are in charge of hunting and feeding their clan.  

Apprentice - The apprentices are the cats training to be warriors or sometimes a medicine cat. They learn from their mentor. (mentors are the warriors or the medicine cat given the honor of training the young cats of the clan). It is the apprentices' responsibility to look after and care for the elders. 

Queen - Queens are the she-cat warriors who choose to have kits. They return to their warrior duties after their kits become apprentices. 

Kit - Kits are the youngest member of the clan and the most protected. Kits play in the camp and aren't allowed to leave the camp until the are apprentices. Kits must be 6 moons (Months) before they can become apprentices.

Elder - Elders are the oldest members in the clan. (Sometimes the clan leader is older.) They retired after long services as a warrior or medicine. Then they stay in the elders' den and the apprentices look after them.
