== ~Prologue~ ==
The dark brown cat shivered against the cold wind blowing through the skinny pine trees. The cat glanced around cautiously, its swift pawsteps hitting the ground silently as it wound around the trees.
The cat sniffed the air, and after smelling nothing of importance, let out an angry sigh.
Jun told me they would be around here, that rotten she-cat!
Nonetheless, the cat continued to prowl the pine forest, sniffing the air every few pawsteps, while gazing around warily. Suddenly, the cat halted and sniffed the air excitedly. 
There it is! A "scent marker," just like Jun said. There are Clans.
The frail cat darted back to its temporary den, jumping deftly over fallen tree branches as it went. Between two bramble bushes and a pine, lay a visible moss nest.

It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for; in the middle of the ShadowClan camp was Swiftclaw, the ShadowClan deputy arguing loudly with Kestrelbird, the dark brown warrior hissing furiously.
I should have known it was Kestrelbird. . .
"--just because SkyClan crosses the border once does not mean we should go leaping into battle," Swiftclaw replied in an exasperated tone. Kestrelbird glared at Swiftclaw.
"Except they've crossed the border more than once this moon!" Kestrelbird snarled, digging her claws into the ground. "It clearly is not an accident." Behind Kestrelbird, her patrol looked on uncomfortably, except for Gorsefoot who nodded at her every word.
Swiftclaw sighed, "You're r
