Introduction

(I haven't edited this part yet.  I started on the prologue, so I'll update this part after I do it.  This is the prologue from the original story)
"Shhh, be quiet Cloudkit or she'll see us!" Berrykit warned.  Cloudkit glared at her.
"If you don't be quiet then she'll spot us!"  Cloudkit spat back.
"Shh she's coming!"  Berrykit warned.  Cloudkit and Berrykit crouched behind the bush and slowly peeked out.  Petalblossom was roaming nearby, asking anyone she came across where they were hiding.  As soon as she crossed the fern patch and headed into the heart of camp, the two kits emerged from their hiding place.
 "That was close!" Cloudkit panted as soon as the coast was clear.
"I'll say," Berrykit replied.  She looked up into the sky.  "We still have a while before our ceremony,"  Berrykit said.
"Oh, I can hardly wait!"  Cloudkit grinned.  "I wonder who my mentor will be! Probably Shadefeather, the best warrior in FireClan!" Cloudkit said.
Berrykit frowned.  "Shadefeather wouldn't be caught dead with you," she said to Cloudkit.
"Well-" Cloudkit was interrupted by a loud grunt and pawsteps coming in their direction.  The kits whipped around to be face to face with Ivymist, the oldest elder in the forest.
"Ivymist!" Berrykit and Cloudkit squealed, forgetting all about their argument.
"Can't a cat get any rest without kits waking them up?" Ivymist grunted.
"We won't be kits for long!" Berrykit boasted.  "Our apprentice ceremony'll be real soon!"  Berrykit grinned.  "Well you should be getting ready for it so I can get some rest,"  Ivymist muttered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Ivymist!"  Suddenly Petalblossom appeared in the den.  "I hope they haven't been a lot of trouble,"  Petalblsoom said as she ducked down and began to lick Cloudkit's head.  He glared at her.  "You're embarassing me, mom!" he cried.
"These two need to come with me and get ready," Petalblossom said to Ivymist.
 "Now now, no need to rush," Ivymist said calmly, "they can stay with me."  Ivymist looked at Petalblossom.  "Please??????????"  Cloudkit and Berrykit begged together.
 "Alright, as long as they don't cause any trouble."  Petalblossom grumbled.  "But I want them back awhile before the ceremony,"  she added.
Ivymist rolled her eyes as Petalblossom left.  "Alright then, how about a story?"  Ivymist asked.
Cloudkit and Berrykit nodded.
"What would you like to hear?"  Ivymist asked.
"The story of FireClan!"  Cloudkit and Berrykit both said at once.
"That's a long story," Ivymist began, "And your ceremony isn't far off!"  Cloudkit and Berrykit exchanged a glance.
"We have plenty of time!" Cloudkit said.
"PLE-" they began.
"Enough, okay, okay!" Ivymist said, defeated.
"I'll tell that story if you promise to pay attention.  Understand?"  Cloudkit and Berrykit nodded.  "Alright then," Ivymist said.  "It all started with a strong, brave, leader named Rage..."
