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. 

Book 1 - Chapter 4

"This will be to easy," snarled Darkfinch. "It is to easy" "What is to easy?" asked Ashflower padding forward. "Killing every clan. We already obliterated the other clan." "Waterclan?" "Yes," snarled Darkfinch. Oceanstar looked around at the other leaders. He then said, "Hollowberry, Morningflower and Emberberry go see if you can heal any living cat left in Waterclan. Troutsplash, Sparrowfur and Greenwhisker take another cat and see if you can help Waterclan in anyway." The named cats raced out of the hollow. "STOP THEM!" yowled Darkfinch. "Blackstorm, Grayfur, Dawnpaw, Nightfur, Darktail, Tigerlight, Liontail, Hawkpelt after them," ordered Darkfinch. Redstar began to speak. "Kits, apprentices and elders stay in the nursery. Queens right up next to the nursery and warriors in front of them." Dawnstar gave the command. "Fishclan, Mossclan, and Riverclan attack!" "Attack," screeched Darkfinch. Halfway through the battle Darkfinch twitched his tail and a young cat (probably a paw) raced out of the camp and returned with a fresh wave of cats. They fell on the cats with a screech. Oceanstar had seen and had enough. "STOP!" he yowled. Oceanstar was furious. "WHY DID YOU ATTACK US?" Oceanstar screeched. "Because," Darkfinch said. "BECAUSE WHY?" snapped Oceanstar. "Because I could," Darkfinch replied. "I know why," said Blossom tentatively. "I was apart of their group and Darkfinch said in a few moons we will be attacking the clans that threw me out. He attacked us because his clan exiled him." "GO! GET OUT OF OUR CAMP RIGHT NOW.  CEDARFUR, BERRYFUR, MOSSFUR AND SPOTTEDFUR ESCORT THEM RIGHT NOW! MAKE SURE THEY LEAVE!" The cats chosen got up and herded the unwanted cats out of the camp. "Ashflower go to the Riverclan camp and see what is going on there." said Dawnstar. Ashflower nodded and raced out of the camp. "Now," said Oceanstar. "Before we were interrupted I was going to make a warrior. Cloudpaw come forward. You tracked a badger and showed it how fierce Fishclan cats can be. I name you Cloudsplash. I honor you fierce fighting skills into Fishclan. Also I need to make 3 apprentices. Snowkit, Breezekit and Fernkit come forward. Snowkit your name will now be Snowpaw I have chosen Hollyflower as your mentor. Sandswish I know you will pass on all you know to Breezepaw. Aspenwish I know your hunting skills will show in Fernpaw." Greenwhisker padded into the camp. "Oceanstar Waterclan has asked for permission to stay with us. Darkfinch destroyed their herbs and they have no way of getting to the fresh herbs on the other side of the territory. I have give them permission to stay with us." Oceanstar's eyes narrowed. He hissed, "You had no right to give them permission to stay. I am still clan leader of this clan. I did not give you permission to tell them you could stay. You disobeyed me. You have no right to the rank of senior warrior anymore. Get out of my sight," Oceanstar snarled.

Book 1 - Chapter 3

"Troutsplash why are you here and not in your camp." asked Oceanstar. "WE NEED HELP!" yowled Troutsplash. "Some humans are tearing down our camp. We got all of our cats out but we need a place to shelter. Can we stay here?" "Why not ask a different clan." growled Oceanstar. "We did," said Troutsplash. "Ashflower went to Waterclan and she said they refused to help her. Then Hollowberry went to Mossclan and said there was nobody there." Troutsplash blinked and realized that the Mossclan cats were in the Fishclan camp. "So Dawnstar sent you here," snapped Tigerstripe. Troutsplash nodded. "We are already sheltering one clan. But I suppose if you are desperate you can stay." "Thank you Oceanstar," said Troutsplash and he raced off to fetch his clan. Soon the Riverclan cats flooded into the Fishclan camp. "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join here beneath the Birch tree for a clan meeting," called Oceanstar. "Now it might be a little crowded since we are sheltering two clans but we will manage. Now we need to send out patrols." "Windshadow take Blossompaw on a tour of the territory. Dawnstar, Redstar please meet Oceanstar in his den. Dragonwhisker take 2 other cats and go on a hunting patrol. Mousetail, Darkflower and Sparrowfur go on another hunting patrol. Whisperwind take 3 Riverclan cats and show them the territory take Rushpaw with you so he can look for herbs. Flowerfur take 3 Mossclan cats and show them the territory. Apprentices from all clans please go gather moss we will need to make more nests. Kits please stay in the nursery out of the way. Silverfrost and Mossfur go with Tawnybird and Mintpaw to help Emberberry get herbs. If any cat needs anything come to me." Tigerstripe climbed the path up to Oceanstar's den. "Oceanstar?" "Come in," called Oceanstar. Tigerstripe acknowledged each of the leaders with a dip of his head. "I think it is time to make Fernkit, Snowkit, and Breezekit an apprentice. Also I heard that Cloudpaw did very well when tracking a badger the other day. I think the clan will be lucky to have his as a warrior." Oceanstar nodded. "Oceanstar," began Dawnstar. "I need to make a warrior of my own. May I?" Oceanstar nodded. "I need to make an apprentice," said Redstar. Once again Oceanstar nodded. Oceanstar leapt up into the birch tree and was followed by Dawnstar and Redstar. He yowled, "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join here underneath the birch tree for a clan meeting." The cats filed out of their dens. "Dawnstar, Redstar and I have some news to share. Dawnstar would you like to go first?" said Oceanstar. She nodded. "I Dawnstar leader of Riverclan present an apprentice who was shown her skill and courage and I name her Mintclaw. She sensed the humans coming near our camp first and I welcome her as a warrior of Riverclan." Redstar stepped forward. "Rowankit has reached the age limit and it is his turn to learn the ways of a Mossclan warrior. Sparrowfur I know you will make him the best warrior he can be." Sparrowfur nodded. Oceanstar began. "I have a job to do today-y-y." He was cut off as Sagewind of Riverclan yowled, "There is some cat outside the hollow." Then Darkfinch (the loner who wanted revenge on the clans) and his cats burst into the hollow.

Book 1 - Chapter 2

"Well?" "Please Oceanstar we were still recovering from green cough when the cats attacked. Half of my clan couldn't fight back." "Alright." meowed Oceanstar. "Just until you are better though." "Thank you Oceanstar." Hollowstripe mewed respectfully. "Cedarfur, Berryfur, Birchtail and Shadowleaf go with them and see if they need help. Hollowstripe go with them." Mossclan arrives. "Redstar," said Oceanstar with a dip of his head. "Let all the cats old enough to climb a tree join here beneath birch tree for a clan meeting." All the cats padded over."Now," began Oceanstar, "Mossclan has come to stay with us for a while. But since this is our territory you will have to obey what we say. If we tell you to stay in camp will you do that Mossclan?" "Repeat after me," said Redstar to his cats. "Yes Oceanstar we understand that we are on your territory and will do exactly what you want us to do." The cats repeated it. Oceanstar continued. "Now since there are twice as many cats as normal I need the Mossclan cats to participate in patrols." The Mossclan cats nodded. "Now Tigerstripe please organize the patrols." Tigetrstripe started organizing patrols. "Birchtail and Berryfur take Cloudpaw and Seedpaw hunting. Emberberry you can collect herbs but please tell me first. Redstar please go talk to Oceanstar. Cedarfur and Aspenwish take Ashpaw and patrol the Riverclan boundary. Shadowleaf and Sandswish take Nightpaw and even though the Mossclan cats are in our camp we still need to patrol their boundary. Morningflower I know that Emberberry wanted to see you. Littlepaw are you a warrior apprentice or medicine cat?" "Medicine Cat." "Then go with Morningflower too. Mumblefur the elders den is the hollow log over there. Darkflower can you take Echomist to the nursery. Mistkit you can show Rowankit around the camp." Tigerstripe was still speaking when Troutsplash the Riverclan senior warrior burst into the camp. 

Book 1 - Chapter 1

"Invaders," yowled Hollyflower. "Who is there?" said Birchtail. Birchtail turned to his apprentice. "Cloudpaw fetch Oceanstar." "Yes Birchtail," Cloudpaw said. Cloudpaw reappeared with Oceanstar and Tigerstripe. "What is it Hollyflower?" called Oceanstar. "I found this cat outside our camp." "Who are you?" asked Oceanstar. The cat replied, "My name is Blossom." Oeanstar nodded then he called to his deputy, " Have 2 patrol search the whole territory, and then send out a hunting patrol." "Yes Oceanstar." replied Tigerstripe.  "Mistyfur, Cedarfur and Seedpaw go towards the Mossclan border. Mossfur, Sandswish and Ashpaw start on the Riverclan border. Appledawn can you take Darkflower, Silverfrost and Mossfur on a hunting patrol?" "Blossom why are you here?" asked Oceanstar. "I want to join your clan," said Blossom. Oceanstar considered before meowing, "Ok. You can stay with us for one moon (month) then we will decide if you can stay with us forever." "Thank You," Blossom mewed formally. Oceanstar leapt up into a large tree. "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join here beneath the birch tree for a clan meeting. Blossom has come to join us and we need to give her a mentor. Windshadow you have been free ever since Berryfur became a warrior and now I would like you to pass on all you know to Blossompaw." said Oceanstar. "You can trust me Oceanstar," said Windshadow. The 3 patrols just got back from camp. "What happened?" called Appledawn. "I made Windshadow mentor to Blossompaw. Now Nightpaw show Blossompaw where she will sleep will you?" "Yes." he called. Tigerstripe began organizing the next day's patrols. "Mentors," he called, "I want you to take your apprentices battle training tomorrow. Dawn patrol Mousetail, Silverstreak and Brightwind. Hunting patrols Rushpaw you can go with Runninghwisker to fetch herbs. When you get back take your apprentices out remember." Suddenly a cat raced into the Fishclan camp. It was Hollowstripe the Mossclan deputy. "We need help," he said. "Cats attacked our camp. Morningflower is running low on supplies. These cats want revenge on us." Blossompaw spoke up. "These cats were they being leaded by a long haired a dark furred Tom?" "Yes" "I know these cats," said Blossompaw. "Darkfinch the leading Tom was driven out of his clan and now he wants to destroy the clans. He must have earned support from cats who hate us as much was he does." Oceanstar sat listening and he then twitched an ear for silence. "What do you need?" he asked Hollowstripe. "Redstar sent me to ask you if Mossclan could live with Fishclan until we are strong again." Every cat leaned forward waiting to see what Oceanstar would do. 

Summaring - Omen of the Stars

The Fourth Apprentice - There is a bad drought. Dovekit and Ivykit are born to Whitewing and Birchfall. Dovepaw is apprenticed to Lionblaze and Cinderheart is Ivypaw's mentor.  Dovepaw says she can hear brown animals blocking the stream. Lionblaze and Jayfeather think that she is the 3rd cat in the prophecy. Lionblaze goes to Firestar and he announces at the gathering that some of his cats want to explore to see if there is a blockage. Firestar suggests a patrol made up of cats from every clan. Whitetail and Sedgewhisker of Windclan. Toadskip and Tigerheart of Shadowclan. Petalfur and Rippleclaw of Riverclan. Then Lionblaze and Dovepaw of Thunderclan. The patrol makes it and realizes the beavers made a lodge and a pool. The cats try to fight the beavers but Rippleclaw dies. So then they go and ask pet cats to help. (Seville, Jigsaw, Snowdrop and Woody) They dismantle the blockage and head home.

Fading Echos -  Leopardstar dies. Dovepaw sneaks off to the Windclan camp in the middle of the night to see Sedgewhisker because she heard dogs on the moor. Firestar learns that Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Dovepaw have special powers. Dovepaw hears things far away. Lionblaze cannot be hurt by any mortal cat. Jayfeather can read and feel others feelings. Hawkfrost visits Ivypaw in a dream.  A tree falls into the Thunderclan camp killing Longtal and breaking Briarpaw's backbone. Tigerstar tells Ivypaw that Shadowclan was planning on invading Thunderclan. Firestar takes back the clearing that he gave Blackstar and they fight for it. Russetfur dies and Firestar loses a life.

Night Whispers - Jayfeather tells Lionblaze that Ivypaw was in the Dark Forest. Blackstar names Rowanclaw his deputy. Starclan tells each clan to forget all allies even the medicine cats to with other clans. That each clan must stand for itself. Lionblaze drives a fox from the territory. Ivypaw learns that the cats in the Dar Forest weren't trying to help her. Flametail falls through an open hole in the ice and drowns.

Sign of the Moon - Icecloud falls down a hole that leads to the tunnels. Lionblaze and Jayfeather go to see if they can find any evidence of Hollyleaf. They find a tuft of fur and realize that Hollyleaf must still be alive. Dovepaw and Ivypaw earn their warrior names. (Dovewing and Ivypool) Squirrelflight, Foxleap, Jayfeather and Dovewing go to the mountains. A cat from the tribe of endless hunting (the tribe's ancestors) tells Jayfeather The end of the stars draws near, three must become four to challenge the darkness that lasts forever. Jayfeather makes Crag where eagles nest the new Stoneteller (and leader of the tribe) then they go home.

The Forgotten Warrior - Sol returns to the lake. He says he saved Cherrypaw and Molepaw from the fox. Dovewing and Ivypool go down into the tunnels and hear Sol plotting with Windclan. A cat leads them out. It ends up being Holyleaf. Hollyleaf returns to the clan and helps Brambleclaw and Firestar figure out what to do about Windclan. Dawnpelt accuses Jayfeather or murdering Flametail and the clan leaders agree to suspend Jayfeather of medicine cat duties until he proves that he did not kill Flametail.

The Last Hope -  Flametail tells the medicine cats that Jayfeather didn't murder him. The medicine cats go and unite Starclan. Then the medicine cats promise to meet with their leaders. Firestar tells the other leaders what is happening. They make a battle plan. Thunderclan copes with the first wave but Shadowclan is over run and Blackstar loses a life. Ancient cats, Starclan and Midnight (the badger) come to fight on the clan's side. They drive the cats away. Lots of cats die in the Great Battle. Redwillow, Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, Brokenstar and more (who were fighting for the Dark Forest). Ferncloud, Hollyleaf, Mousefur. Pinenose's kit, Spottedleaf, Firestar and more (who were fighting for the good of the clans)
