Book 10 - Prolouge

All the cats of Fishclan were arguing from sun up to sun down. Most of the time the clan couldn't find peace even if they left the clan. The cats were arguing over who was loyal to the clan and then whether or not a certain cat knew something about another cat. One day a spirit came from the stars and asked the living cats what they know about their clan mates. If they know their true story or why they were acting why they were. "After the roars of the lions and the cries of the birds you will find peace in the truth of words" they said. "Each cat has a story a story that has made this chaos, if those stories are told and no secrets are kept then the clan will find peace." All the cats looked at each other confused and they became even more confused when two unexpected visitors came by, two cats that the clans thought they would never see again. Cloud, (Blossomfur's sister) and Rissa (Darkfinch's sister).

Many moons/months passed and the clan was fine. Every month was the same, summer weather brought more food and warm weather to the clans and they were grateful. One day it was the warrior ceremonies for some cats. "We have reached a place where we are going to stay  for a while, which means it is a perfect time to make some new warriors and apprentices of our clan. Blackpaw, Mintpaw and Foxpaw it is time to become a warrior of Fishclan. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code with the cost of your life and defend your clan no matter what the cost?" The apprentices nodded, I do and you can count on us Fishclan rang throughout the hollow. "Blackpaw you will now be known as Blackmint, Mintpaw you will now be known as Mintwish, and Foxpaw you will now be known as Foxflash. Fishclan honored your fighting skills and hunting techniques and we welcome you as a full warrior of Fishclan." The clan cheered for the three new warriors and then fell silent when Cedarstar padded towards the kits "Oceankit, Moonkit and Cherrykit are ready to become apprentices. Rivera you will be mentor to Oceanpaw. Mintwish you will be mentor to Moonpaw. Breezebolt you will be mentor to Cherrypaw." All the cats looked around at the clan. "We have one more announcement. There will be more warriors to feed our growing clan still. For Seedwhisker's 4 kits have been named Thistlekit, Thornkit, Bramblekit, Talonkit. Ashstorm has two fine she cats which she has named Lemonkit, and Mangokit. Darkflower has given us a young tom named Stormkit and a fine she cat named Peacekit. Then finally Silverfrost has given us 3 fine toms named Lionkit, Leopardkit, and Tigerkit. Another kit that Skyleap has said she will take care of on top of Mistkit and Dustkit is a kit named Mosskit. No kit knows where he was born and he won't tell us who his parents are saying he is loyal to his parents above anything."

Everycat in Fishclan has a story that the rest of the clan doesn't know but all of that will change when a storm and a prophecy forces then to make amends and share the truth.

Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 20

Many more moons passed before Darkfinch and his cats saw more cats. He had recruited more cats and was watching the clan travel. Soon he gave the command to move and they went and followed the clan of cats as it trekked over the mountains.  Darkfinch made a deal with them fight and then the winner gets 3 cats from the other side. Liontail won against not one cat but two so Darkfinch chose 6 cats and turned and walked away over the cliff. One day Darkfinch saw that the clan was being attacked, he pointed his tail at Liontail who went and helped.  Darkfinch demanded payment since Liontail had just saved their clan. Then Darkfinch had a thought, he said that he would forget their payment if he could let one of his cats becomes the senior warrior of his clan. Berrystar looked uncertain before glancing at his clan. Then Darkfinch spoke again, "You can either keep all your cats and let one of my cats become the senior warrior or let my warrior stay here and lose another 3 of your cats." Berrystar nodded and let a cat join Fishclan. Darkfinch turned and flicked his ears at Whiteclaw and then the clan departed. That was when Whiteclaw realized that Darkfinch still didn't trust him with any responsibility other than hunting in his group. This was his way of banishing him but making it look like he wanted a cat from his group in the clan. Whiteclaw knew that Darkfinch knew what he was doing. Whiteclaw would live with the clan but the clan cats wouldn't believe him if they said that he wasn't loyal to Darkfinch. They would believe he was a traitor to their clan just because he lived with Darkfinch and was ordered to live with them. Darkfinch knew that the leaders and the clan cats wouldn't trust him and they would never want to follow him if he every became the of Fishclan. They would think that they were spying on them to report back to Darkfinch whenever possible. Whiteclaw knew this but he didn't care, Darkfinch was nothing more than a traitor to everything living. Whiteclaw turned and settled down to try to live amongst a clan once more.

Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 19

Many moons passed and Darkfinch had been serious about his role as a leader. Although some cats distrusted him because he was the cat who caused Cinderstar's tragic end. As he enforced more and more rules, more and more cats started to believe he was disloyal to Nightclan. The cats who were alive when it was revealed that Darkfinch was visiting the Dark Forest started to believe that he was loyal not to them  but to the dark forest. Darkfinch believed in unsheathed claws in training, he also believed that discipline was a major part of being in a clan. Soon Darkfinch was limiting the food supply for all cats believing that all cats should have a fair share. Eventually Darkfinch begin to kill off the cats that betrayed him or disobeyed him. Hollytail gave the clan cats a plan and fled to Princess. Liontail had replaced her. Many of the cats were fearing for their lives. Many cats were dead and some were fleeing into the woods. Soon some of the cats decided to follow Hollytail's example and execute her plan. Darkfinch was driven out taking, Lionstripe, Hawkpelt, Whiteclaw and many others with him. Whiteclaw settled into his new home quite easily and soon they were up and about hunting for the rest of the cats and ambushing Nightclan patrols whenever they could. So far 3 Nightclan cats were dead because they weren't watching where they were going on the hunting patrol. Darkfinch's cats stole their prey and retreated into their makeshift camp. Darkfinch trusted him but Whiteclaw knew that he was never Darkfinch's favorite cat in the world. Lionstripe and Hawkpelt were his favorites. Whiteclaw had dropped in rank as soon as Darkfinch had learned that it was him who had talked to Princess's garden. Whiteclaw soon didn't believe that Darkfinch trusted him at all. Darkfinch probably doubted his loyalty to the group. Darkfinch was always sending him further away then the others on hunting patrols and letting him patrol the dangerous boundaries. Whiteclaw served Darkfinch and the other cats with his life making sure that he always hunting for the group before his himself. Whiteclaw still followed the warrior code he just pledged to be loyal to other cats now. Darkfinch suddenly stood up. "Cats I have decided to make a new rank in this group. There will now be a senior warrior, if something happens to the deputy then the senior warrior will take his or her place. Our senior warrior is going to be Hawkpelt." Then he turned and stalked back to his nest.
