A fiery haze swept through the forest. The once dappled green leaves on the red rowan trees now shriveled up to dust. Just beyond that forest, humans or as 'we' call them, Non-Folk. The Non-Folk rushed around, screaming and yelling calling the Smoke-Breathers (cars) to put out the blazing furnace. Cats scrabbled at the strange transparent panel that blocked them from scurrying to their Non-Folk. But far away in the distance there were four cats bristling as they crouched down and padded softly towards the woods, not far from the blazing forest.
"Tiger..." a handsome tom whispered.
"Hush Blaze" a creamy orange and white tom whispered.
"Tiger, can you run ahead to warn our tribes?" A handsome black tom with fierce blue eyes mewed
"Sure," Tiger replied, casting one final terrified look at the 4 cats, he ran away in the mist
"I-I think I should hunt" a pale gray-silver she-cat mewed, green eyes flashing in the shadows.
The tom pawed gently at the silver she-cat. "Bright Spirit, if you get lost RiverCats may not survive ". The she-cat snarled softly, "Thorn, I'm ok!". Thorn shook his head " the RiverCats need you, Bright Spirit".
Bright Spirit curtly dipped her head and padded faster to the front, head drooping, shoulders hunched. Thorn's  blue eyes glittered in the night, "Rain That Sweeps Through The Forest".
