"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather around Highrock for a clan meeting!" The young leader's voice bellowed across the camp, alerting many cats as they stampeded under the giant rock that stood tall, fox-lengths above the ground.

The deputy, Sagelight's eyes lit up, knowing what was about to happen as he padded toward the base of the rock and faced the rest of the clan.

"We all have been training vigorously for this moment. I'm going to send only one patrol. Violetwhisker, Rainlight, Tigerheart, Leopardpaw, Dogbreath, Yellowstripe, and Shellpaw.
You've been chosen to come. Follow me." The clan leader boomed.

"This is my first raid!" Shellpaw whispered to Leopardpaw as the patrol filed out of camp.

"May Starclan light your path!" The medicine cat, Echowhisper, called from her den.

The patrol lined up shoulder to shoulder facing the thunderpath, waiting for the chance to cross. A monster roared past. The clan leader didn't flinch, looking around. "NOW!" She shrieked, speeding across the path as her patrol followed. She didn't wait, immediately charging into the Shadowclan camp.

"THUNDERCLAN, ATTACK!"
