## Story

*Looking for a shorter overview? Click here!*

Goldenrodtar sat on the highrock and called a clan meeting. She announced that Littlepaw told her that, aside CeruleanClan eating our territorys' mice, they have been directly stealing. She then explained that she would be declaring war. She sent Littlepaw to catch a bat from CeruleanClans' camp, as a sign that their will be war. Littlepaw came back with a dead bat and crouched down to eat it. "No!" Dixiestar shouted. "We will share this meal. All of us." She proclaimed. Every cat took a piece. It was the best meal any of them had ever had. That night, Ivoryheart had a dream: It had a dark blue cat lying there with a scar. Ivoryheart thought it was Sapphirepaw of CeruleanClan, so she assumed it meant "CeruleanClan must die for their crimes." But what it really meant was, "MeadowClan will die." But again, Ivoryheart had thought it meant CeruleanClan must die, so when the sun woke up, she told Goldenrodstar of her dream. Goldenstar decided that since StarClan told her to do so, she must fight. She went to an oak tree to disguise her scent. She entered CeruleanClan territory and crouched to pounce. She pounced onto CeruleanClan and told Duostar, "This is what you get you prey thief!"

Duostar used a magic spell to blast her 11 fox lengths in the air, and she landed on the high ledge. She loafed in a weak manner. Duostar was so angry he ignited, and came to the MeadowClan leaders den, and set her on fire. She rushed to the lake, before she got seriously hurt. Duostar ran back to camp, and said he was going to war with MeadowClan. CeruleanWing was furious. He dashed out of the elders den, and got Krystalclaw to fight with her. They attacked cats of MeadowClan, causing a ruckus. CeruleanWing was about to attack a young kit on the High Ledge, when Zeinapaw blocked the hit. She got a scar. Krystalclaw attacked CeruleanWing lightly as a warning. He went to camp, and called every CeruleanClan cat to battle, from kits, to elders, to even the medicine cat, Shneebs.

"Zeinapaw. You shall be known as Zeina-echo." Said Goldenrodstar as she was clawing Redpaws' muzzle. Cats didn't cheer, but Goldenrodstar didn't blame them. They were in the thick of a battle. Suddenly, Twigfox started screeching. Her kits were coming.

Most CeruleanClan cats tried to get in the nursery, but the expecting Daisyheart was protecting the nursery. They launch Daisyheart into the air, came into the nursery and said, "Hope your kits are healthy!" Then the enemy clan ran out of the nursery. Twigfox was frowning. "A single kit is a bad omen." She turned her back to the tiny kit, and went to the other side, only to be followed by the pitiful scrap of fur. She closed her eyes, but opened them when Daisyhearts' kits were coming. Daisyheart had three kits: One she-cat, and two toms. Singlestorm charged into the nursery. "Daisyheart, hope your kits are healthy!" She turned to Twigfox. "Hope your bad omen is healthy!" The other queens, Greywhisper, mother of Lightkit, Darkkit, Rainbowkit, and Starkit, and Farrowstorm, mother of Yellowkit, and Moonhighkit, and Brambleberry, mother of Angelkit, and Shadowkit. They all hissed at CeruleanClan.

Ceruleanwing blasted in, and no cat would ever retell what happened. Just, after he left, Greywhisper, Farrowstorm, and Brambleberry were dead. Singlestorm slapped Ceruleanwing across the face. "You just killed the nursery queens!" Singlestorm snapped. Ceruleanwing hissed. Emberclaw had not even a clue about the war, because he was hunting alone. His eyes were wide. He ran to Goldenrodstar. "Where are Preinakit and Applekit?" Goldenrodstar backed up. "I forgot to check on them... But now that I think of it... They're missing..." Emberclaw nuzzled his muzzle into Goldenrodstars' fur. Just then, Green pounced on Emberclaw, and with a bite to the throat, Emberclaw was gone. "I'll wait for you in StarClan..." His soft mew died away, and Goldenrodstar hissed and chased Green, biting his throat, but he ran away before Goldenrodstar could do the death blow.

Goldenrodstar chased out one patrol. *Besides,* thought Goldenrodstar. *We've never been beaten* *in our own camp.* She thought again. Firewing took Goldenrodstar by surprise. He sent a cat going home with deep scars. Dried blood decorated the camp, Ivoryheart barely could keep up with them. Ivoryheart found it hard to take care of a kit while doing this. "Cobweb. I need cobweb. Marigold! Anyone know where to find it? I'm running low. I need Oak leaf!" Cats were always coming in, getting every herb they can find.

Moons had passed since the fighting started. 9 moon old warriors were sent into battle. Dixieclaw fought for the lost members. MeadowClan was strong. Only a few warriors died. CeruleanClan was strong too. They had lost two members at the claws of the cats of MeadowClan. Lightstorm and Angelivy were fighting, the 10 moon old warriors. Angel-ivy fought for her dead brother, Shadowpaw. Moonhighstripe jumped on Ceruleanwing. Zeina-echo, the 14-moon warrior.

Dixieclaw was actually the deputy. Coralstone had given up his position. *My chance!* She thought. She jumped on Duostar, and he yowled. "This battle is over!" He shouted. "But who won?" Asked Redfur. Duostar just stared at her. "Us," He meowed at last.

"Thunderbird... did they really steal prey?" Demanded Dixiestar, the new leader. Thunderbird just nodded.
