Prophecy Of Fire

Be Prepared

BrookClan has been training, CryptClans warriors are growing by the day. I know that we will not be enough. I must take measures to protect my clan. I pad my way over to CricketSpark who was teaching battle training with a few apprentices just outside of camp. "CricketSpark, a word please?" I question him. He dipped his head to me and we walked out of earshot of the clan. "We are outnumbered by many, we must go to JungleClan. We must form an alliance" I speak softly. He dipped his head once again and we headed into camp. I step into the medicine den alongside CricketSpark. "WrenSplash, we must request an alliance with JungleClan, we are outnumbered" to this her ears perked up.
"I understand, be safe on your travels" she chirps.
I nod and we leave the den. "I will be with you shortly CricketSpark." He nods and I speedily trot over to TangledTail and my young kit, AshKit. AshKit plays with a moss ball. My mate zoned out, resting on her paws. She was still hurt by DawnKits death, unable to move past she remained distant every day, refusing to leave AshKits side. I greet her with a muzzle and slump down beside her. "CricketSpark and I must head to JungleClan, we have to form an alliance my dear." TangledTail was taken aback and recoiled. "An alliance?" Her ears fell back slightly, "how can you be sure that JungleClan will take kindly to you being in their territory?" A hiss crawled up her throat. "I have a certain friend there, I'm sure she will explain that I mean no harm." I reply soothingly. "And how come I've never heard of this she-cat in the past?" She mewed to me. "I apologise for not speaking of her before, I last saw her the day I exiled dear old TwistedStar, If it weren't for her I would be dead." I hiss back. "Well then, I best join you in your travels." She smiles. I nod "if you must" I reply joyfully.
"We shall leave AshKit with RoyalLotus, I'm sure she won't mind one more kit to handle." She chirps. I agree and so she stand to her paws, licking my cheek before swooping AshKit up, holding his scruff in her teeth. She heads off to leave AshKit with RoyalLotus before trotting back to my side. Together the three of us canter out of camp.

After walking for quite some time, we reach the  stony bridge. We walk across, wearily, gazing around our surroundings for danger. As we reach the end of the bridge, we gaze up in amazement at the trees so tall and powerful, intimidating almost. Thick green vines hang down from the canopy. We hear the exotic birds chirping from the treeTops, calling to their family's. "We best get moving, the Jungle is thick and it takes much more time to cross through, we need to get to the centre of the Jungle to find camp." I state. As we begin to walk inwards Tangled opens her mouth to put a word in, "I've always wondered how JungleClan warriors scale these tall trees, and have the power to walk through daily".
"Well the warriors here have powerful hind legs, helping them to push off the ground into the thick trees, along with sharp claws to cling to the branches. Aswell with their tall and thin frames." I chuckle. "Fascinating." She gazes all around her as she walks in amazement.

After much more time of walking, i hear the rushing streams. These are known to be not too far from the camp. I tried to remember what my old mentor, DustyPelt had previously told me. As we near a tree, bigger than I've ever seen. It's green leaves and thick branches towering over us. My ears flick as we pick up our pace and run over. "This is the centre?" CricketSpark asks. I nod in response. "Then where's the camp?" He looked around him, his head tilted to the right in utter confusion. "You'll see" i step infront of the tall tree. Before me are a few dangling forest green vines. I push past them, to see the tree that is hollow at the base. Dens nested into the roots beneath the earth. My mate and deputy follow JN amazement. "The hidden entrance keeps them safe from enemies and predators" I speak, turning my head around to look at them as we walk closer to the group of cats sitting at the base of VineRock. When I spin my head back around, I recoil at the sight of JungleClan cats, hissing in my face. I step back and stood infront of TangledTail. "I  mean no harm. I am the leader of BrookClan and Iwish to speak with your leader, where are they?" I demand. The cats reluctantly moved away, flicking there tails and hissing as we approached the VineRock. Perched on it was-FerretCall??. She bounds down from the very tall rock, greeting me with a muzzle on my neck. To this I sense TangledTail tense up. "FerretCall what are you doing on VineRock?" I call out to her in confusion. To this her and a few other warriors in earshot of us giggle. "It's FerretStar now scorch." She laughs and stands with me side by side, she places her tail on my back and we begin to walk towards her den, which was nested comfortably within a large root of the tree beside VineRock. CricketSpark,FerretStar, TangledTail and I step inside. "And who are these two delightful warriors" she beamed. "This Is my deputy CricketSpark, and mate TangledTail" she smiles proudly. "You've come a long way Scorch! How did a mangy Tom like you manage to get A beautiful damsel like Tangled?" She speaks sarcastically, to this we all laugh. "On a more serious note." I speak. "CryptClan has declared a battle this full moon, we must protect our territory, we are very much so outnumbered by these twisted warriors." I hang my head low.
"Oh, I assume you request our assistance?" She chirps.
"More of, an alliance." I reply.
"Anything for an old friend, you would do the same for me. We train for battle daily, no doubt we are prepared." She smirks.
"Shall we request for TundraClan to join us? BlizzardStar and his clan are some of the most fierce warriors in the area." I meow.
"Sounds like a plan." FerretStar smirks along with the rest of us.
"Then we must set out for TundraClan."
