Warriors: The New Era [The Rise of the Clans]

Chapter 3

Stormi woke up and saw her standing in a starry forest, she rose to her feet, and saw Dark, Everest, Tornado and Cloudjumper wondering on the grounds.

“W-what is happening?” Everest asked.

“Is this a dream?” Stormi mewed

“Where are we?” Tornado gasped.

“I-is this real?” Cloudjumper whispered, “Hey Dark! Mind clawing my ear?”

“Sure.” Dark snapped as he swiped at Cloudjumper's ear.

“Ow! Okay it's real guys.”

“So what should we do now?” Stormi panicked.

“There's nothing to be afraid of, younsters.” a loud and calm voice rang from the shades of four great oak trees.

“W-who are you? Step into the light.” Stormi squirmed.

Five cats stepped into the light, the moonlight made their starry fur shine extra bright.

“I'm Bluestar, former leader of ThunderClan.” the blue-grey she cat mewed, puffing up her chest.

“I'm Tallstar, former leader of WindClan.” the black-white tom stepped forward.

“I'm Crookedstar, former leader of Riverclan.” The tom with an awkward crooked jaw mewed.

“I'm Cedarstar, former leader of ShadowClan.” the dark grey tom dipped his head.

“And i am Leafstar,” the pale she-cat meowed, “the former leader of SkyClan.”

“Wait- why these clans sound familiar?” Stormi mewed.

“It's because you five are descendants of us.” Bluestar purred, “I'm sure your kin have told you something about us.”

“We have chosen you five to rebuild the clans.” Leafstar said.

“What happened to the old clans?” Tornado asked.

“The twolegs pulled over our forest, most of us were either killed or captured by twolegs,” Crookedstar explained, “the leaders at that time decided to dismiss the clans. It's called 'The Great Dismissal'.”

“The remains of the clans went to become rogues, loners, travellers or kittypets.” Cedarstar mewed.

“Im sorry to interrupt but,” Everest mewed nevously, “what are kittypets and twolegs?”

“Kittypets are,” Bluestar sighed,“cats living with twolegs, and twolegs are your so-called “housefolks”."

“Oh... okay we got it...” Cloudjumper mewed, “but who are we descendants of?”

“And how Everest and I both be descendants of one of you? How can we have 2 clan bloods?” Stormi asked.

“You are descendants of me and Crookedstar...” Bluestar sighed.

“I'm brother of Bluestar's mate, Oakheart, and they got kits... Her kit Mistystar is your kin.” Crookedstar mewed.

“O-oh...” Everest mewed, “but what do we have to do anyways?”

“Gather all cats in an area, preferably the forest,” Leafstar mewed, “and teach them about the clans, the ones who agrees to join your clan can join you.”

“But we know nothing about the clans!” Tornado said.

“StarClan would guide your paths.” Tallstar dipped his head.

All of a sudden, Stormi saw the 5 cats swirl before her, and vanished.
