Prologue

The wind whistled as a battle between four rival cat Clans fought for territory. The wind suddenly went in the other direction and the moon turned dark red. All the battling Clans ceased. Then, from nowhere, a starry cat walked out of the night sky. The cat started to speak.

"Cats of all Clans, my name is Willowtail. I was the first cat to die when the battle broke out. Now I am in a place called GloryClan. GloryClan is a place where all cats who die noble and pure hearted go to. But, if you are not noble and pure hearted, you go to a place called DarkClan. DarkClan is a place where the sun never rises and you are all alone."

One cat stepped out of the crowd. "My name is Pine, leader of QuickClan. We need order. Can you help us?"

"I will tell you how to name cats during their stage of life," said Willowtail. "Kits will have 'step' in their name because they are still taking their first steps into the world. Apprentices will have 'eye' in their name because they will need to get the right point of view. Warriors will have 'ear, heart, tail, pelt, foot, face, fang, feather or stripe'. We won't like it when some cat comes in and his name is Greengoop. Medicine cats will have 'herb' because they are like herbs. Medicine cat apprentices will have 'leaf' because they are still leaves but will grow into a new herb. Deputies will have 'claw' because they are getting their claws and hearts ready for new adventures. Leaders will have 'glory' because they have the ability to talk to GloryClan. If any of you are wondering, glories are those little twinkling things in the sky. Now you must create a code...the Forest Code."

Too bad all cats can't live in a condo!
