The sun flared it's golden rays over the edge of the waterfall, brighter than life and somehow drawing attention away from the tumbling water. It cascaded over a high precipice, falling into a large pool at the bottom. A lone tan she-cat sat on a smooth, flat, limestone rock at the bottom. She was pondering. She liked pondering. She was an unusually intelligent little cat. Amber star liked it when the tribe cats came to her for advice, and answers. She didn't believe, like the clans, that a leader had nine lives. It's not that she was mean. She just wasn't very convinced. What she was pondering today was where the water came from. Why? When? And how?She shook herself of these thoughts, and reluctantly settled into serious matters. Sandfire was getting to be too headstrong. The young tom had just become a warrior, and he HATED being told what to do. He was bright too, and Amber star dearly wished that he would behave, so that the rest of the tribe could see what a good cat he really was. Suddenly, she saw two black cat figures appearing out of the mist. She sniffed the air. Black clan.
Black clan, or Black snake that strikes from the Long grass tribe, lives on the other side of the river that flowed from the waterfall. They had a reputation for being evil. Really evil. Rumours were circulating about sacrifices of young kits being made, and of forced pairings. The leader, Snake star, had renamed his tribe. It had used to be Black dragon that comes from the fire mountain tribe. Amber star's tribe, Rising sun tribe, or Sun clan, lived in the forest pass, which was the only way to exit the huge valley. If a cat exited it, they would find themselves(eventually) in the snowy mountain ranges. Snake star approached Amber star confidentaly, his deputy Iron eyes, following him like a skulking hyena. ''Morning, Amber,''he said casually. Amber star scowled. It was an insult to come unnanounced into a different camp, and an even greater one to not use the ''star'' ending.''Snake star.''
''I was wondering, after having a chat with my lovely warriors, if you could let us expand our territory on your land.''He sat down opposite the brown she-cat, cleaning his claws. Amber star reeled.
''Of course not!''she meowed angrily. ''Sun clan has had this land since our ancestors arrived here! If you think I'd just hand it over!'' Snake star looked at her cooly. ''I'll offer you the protection of my clan, and I'll hunt for your clan every moon. I'll arrive here tomorow to get your answer.'' ''I already know what it is!''spluttered Amber star. Snake star hushed her. ''I'll be here tomorow, sunrise.''He repeated, and bounded off through the river. Iron eyes squinted at Amber, and followed the leader.
watcha think?
