Jankedlight walked out of the den. The sun was beating down hard, and the water was low, so he and many other cats went out to the lake to get more water.
"Why must we do apprentices' jobs?" Brokenfur muttered. "Oh hush, Brokenfur, would you rather have your kits dead?" a cat in the back asked.
"I guess you are right," he said, putting his head down.
At camp, Wiskerstar got up, walked out of his den, jumped down to the fresh-kill pile, and took a mouse.
"We are low. I should send out a hunting patrol," Wiskerstar told himself with his jaw full.
"I can lead one!" Greenleaf said, bounding over to him.
"All right, take Jankedlight, Dirtynose, and Dandeliontail," said Wiskerstar placing down the mouse in his mouth.
While Greenleaf gathered the other cats for patrol, Pimplights' kits ran out of the den with Pimplight on their tail.
"Come back here, your kits!" She screamed, but the kits did not care and ran up to their father.
"Wiskerstar! Wiskerstar! Show us your fighting moves again!" One of the kits mewed.
"No! I want to hear a story!" another kit asked.
Wiskerstar laughed, "Calm down, kits, Jumpkit and Onekit go to the elders to hear some stories, Wiskerkit come with me. I will show you some more moves." Wiskerstar said while eating his mouse.
While Wiskerstar and Wiskerkit ran into the forest, Jumpkit and Onekit walked into the elders' den. "Please tell us more stories, MorseFur!"
"All right' kits, whatcha want to hear about?" the elder asked.
"Tell us about Wiskerstar!" Onekit asked. "No! I want to hear about the great war!" Jumpkit said.
"What great war, Jumpkit?" Morsefur asked, not knowing what the kit was talking about.
"You know, the one with Wiskerstar, and the rogues, and the cats called 'The Loners'?" Jumpkit mewed, sounding confused.
"I don't remember that story," Morsefur said, asking the other elders about this great war.
Laser and his group made their rounds around their camp.
"All right, everyone knows what to do?" All of the cats nodded their heads.
"Ok, good, good. Let us start with the training." Laser said, pointing at two cats with his tail.
"Fight now or suffer in the vines of death!" Laser mewed, and the two cats slowly walked away, letting room for them.
"B-But I am new! I don't know how to f-" before the cat could finish what she was saying, the other cat jumped on their back.
"Oh, come on, newbie, fight me!"
"We have no clue what you are talking about, Jumpkit, aren't you sure you made it up?" asked Morsefur.
"I swear I didn't!" Jumpkit said.
"It might have happened, but it is fine, but we have no stories about that," Morsefur said. The elder then told a story about WiskerStar while Jumpkit sat and tried to figure out what she just said.
"All right, Wiskerkit, you ready?" "Yes!" the kit screamed. While WiskerStar showed his kit some moves. Hardfoot ran as fast as he could. Things were going sour in camp as cats were arguing about what Jumpkit said and what to do with that information.
"Wiskerstar! Wiskerstar!" He screamed.
"What has happened?" WiskerStar asked.
"Cats have gone wild! Jumpkit said something about war, and no one knows what to do with that information!" HardFoot said.
WiskerStar looked confused.
"All right, I am coming." Running to camp Wiskerkit did not know what was happening, what war? "What is even war?" the kit asked himself.
"Everyone! Please quiet down. I do not know how to handle this information, but for now, we will try to find out what has happened," Wiskerstar said while his voice trailed away because no one was listening.
"This is an omen! We need to find out what is going to happen!" One cat mewed.
"This is all just a pile of fox dung! The kit knows nothing about clan life, we never had a war, and we will never have war. The clans are in peace!" Another cat said.
"Enough!" Lightpelt, the medicine cat, said somehow over top of all the other cats arguing. "This must be an omen. I will look more into it, but for now, please do not argue. This is a time of peace for the clans and seeking out the truth. I will not" she was interrupted by Jumpkit.
"It came from a dream, but it was brutal." All the other cats looked at one another, scared, then started arguing about what the kit said.
"Enough! This time is not the time for arguing. We will find out soon enough if it was just a dream or an omen by SpiritClan. I will talk about it next gathering to be safe." Wiskerstar said before even more arguing.
"Please, Lightpelt, try to find out before the gathering."
