"How about I tell you a story," you murmur. 

The young kit looks up at you, excitement sparkling in her eyes. "Yeah!"

"Many many moons ago, more than any cat can count, there were two clans," You start, repeating the words the elders had spoken to you not long ago. "Wispclan and Silentclan. They lived together, Wispclan occupying the forest and Silentclan the moor. But there was a fire burning through the clan lands. Not a fire of flames and embers, but of hatred and envy. After an especially harsh winter, both clans were desperate for prey and fought each other for every scrap.

"Starclan was angry at the clans, so they brought a storm."

The kit shudders, maybe you chose a bit too dark of a story.

"The clans were nearly wiped out. But the few remnants joined forces to build Riseclan. Starclan appointed a new leader and medicine cat, and we have lived in peace ever since," you finish.

In truth, the story didn't end there, but she didn't want to repeat the rest.

The she-kit purrs and curls up. "That's a nice story. Thanks." She closes her eyes and finally drifts asleep.

You close your eyes as well, but can't help but hear the rest of the story echoing in your head.

Despite Starclan's best efforts, not every ember was doused. One day, the fire will burn again, brighter than before, and there may be nothing the clan cats can do to put it out.
