Prologue
Goldenstar (Reserved for me) stepped into the medicine den. The medicine cat had said they wanted to speak with her. “I’m here, what do you want to talk about?” She mewed, getting straight to the point. The medicine cat looked up at her. “I’ve received a prophecy.” it said with a far away look. “Well?” Goldenstar was getting impatient. “Right, sorry.” The medicine cat dipped its head.
“The Shadows grow closer
They are a threat to us all
They become stronger and more hungry each passing sun-rise
The one of the Sky is our only hope
We must come together to save the Clans”
Goldenstar nodded and left the den, going back to her den to think things over.

***
Warrior Cats are feral cats. They live in the wild. The cats separate themselves into different groups, called Clans. Each cat pledges to be loyal to his or her own clan. Each clan defends its territory from the other clan(s). In a clan, there are different types of cats that have different jobs. There is a clan medicine cat, a clan leader, a clan deputy (who is second in command), Warriors (which most cats become. They hunt and fight and all that. Other cats do to, but warriors make up the bulk of the clan) Then there’s Queens, which are mother cats who are taking a pause in their warrior duties because they have/are going to have kits. Elders are cats who have grown too old to fight and hunt retire and join the other elders. They are honored and cared for by the clan. There's also apprentices. After a kit reaches 6 moons, it becomes an apprentice. Most are called to be a warrior apprentice, which means they are mentored by a warrior. Sometimes a kit will be mentored by the medicine cat. Then the kit becomes a medicine cat apprentice. A medicine cat is the clan doctor. They also communicate with Starclan, the deceased ancestors of the clan cats. Starclan is basically cat heaven.
