## History

Fang learns to fly from his mother and his brother Boulder laughs at him. When Fang tries to teach Boulder to control the air, his brother instead summons a rat that slaps him in the face and sends him crashing into a kitten. Boulder kills the rat and takes it away, and Fang wonders where he's going with it. A cat tells him and his mother to gather with the rest of the Tribe because their patrol leader and another cat died. Fang meets with his Tribe, and Dusty announces the deaths of Moonfur and Golden Eyes. When Moonfur's spirit names Boulder as the new patrol leader, Fang, bitterly jealous, asks him why, and Moonfur explains that his brother is part of a prophecy. Fang runs home. Shadow jumps in his way, and he tumbles back and scrapes his paw. She picks him up and runs off. Fang tries to escape her grip, but she tells him that AirTribe is evil. He asks her what Tribe she's from, and she sets him down and responds that she's from BloodTribe. Shadow explains who BloodTribe is, and beckons him to follow her. She asks Fang what his name is, and when he shares it, she exclaims that that's no name for a bloodkitten. The two bound off when they here a cat yowling.

"*Your greedy tribe stole you! You were never a BloodTribe kitten. You have AirTribe blood. You can even fly. Rockfur told the tribe that!*"

"*What do you mean? I killed AirTribe’s leader. He did have a bitter heart but he crumbled to the ground after my strong knock-over. He demanded to take me back but he was proven wrong. When I first appeared in the tribe, this cat...she claimed me as her own. I didn’t believe her. She was white and I am yellow. I thought I should turn my back against the tribe when the tribe was attacked. I knew I had BloodTribe blood. Something hit me. If I was half BloodTribe...then, what is my other side?*"

"*You sound like a scared mouse! I think the only reason she invited us is because of AirTribe. I don’t want her to regret it seeing us goof off with dumb noises a paralyzed squirrel would make! That’s foolish!*"
