Book 9 - Chapter 1

"We will repay your human." Said Cedarstar. She looked satisfied. "Fishclan," called Sparrowstar. "We welcome home the arrival of 2 cats that we thought we might never see ever again. We are fortunate to see these cats once more, for we can learn from both of them." said Troutstar. "We welcome back our former leader Berrystar!" said Cedarstar. "We would also like to welcome back a cat that Fishclan had almost forgotten a cat that we will learn from. A cat that has the skills of no other cat in Fishclan," said Sparrowstar. "We welcome back the former guest and warrior Rivera!" announced Troutstar. Mossfur and Blossomfur padded up to Rivera. "I never met you until now," said Blossomfur, "I have heard much about you though and you sound like a wonderful friend and a loyal warrior and Fishclan is lucky to have you back with us once more." Rivera turned to her. "You speak like a true warrior Blossomfur, most of this clan Birchtail and Appledawn especially never had wanted to see me again. Apparently I had interrupted their lives by saving BIrchtail from the animal shelter. The way they are acting it sounds as if they would have rather let my human let Birchtail die in the shelter. Never to be heard from again." spat Rivera. Mossfur nodded, "You are a loyal and dedicated warrior. We are proud to have you among our ranks. You can run through the trees, and spot fish in the clearest ponds. You are a skilled fighter you challenged the younger warriors and apprentices when they thought you were no good and you are a talented hunter. I am proud to call you a friend of Fishclan." said Mossfur. Appledawn and Birchtail had padded away with Sagewind. "Look who it is. The great and wonderful warrior Rivera. The cat that is the most talented hunter in all of Fishclan." snarled Sagewind. "The one who won against 7 warriors  and apprentices the cat that i now worshipped and honored through Fishclan." said Birchtail. "The cat that ending up making me spend 5 and 1/2 moons helping a medicine cat." snapped Appledawn. The 3 cats looked at each other. "We are going to be staying here until Mossfur's, and Ashstorm's kits come," they heard the leaders talking. "Apparently Darkflower, Silverfrost, and Seedwhisker are going to be having kits too. "How many warriors are there in Fishclan left?" asked Berrystar. "Not a lot but there are going to be many apprentices in training eventually." said a quiet voice. "I have an idea, we can have a mini competition between the warriors, kits and apprentices. Even some of the elders and medicine cats can join in." Said Troutstar. "We obviously cannot travel for a while, let us have some fun while we are here," said Cedarstar. The other leaders glanced at each other then decided to have the mini competition in 2 days time.
