Warriors - Erin Hunter
Book One Crimson Snow
by Enphys
(Est. 26 chapters)Dovepaw and Riverpaw, two newly apprenticed cats of AshClan, train to be warriors together as a war breaks out between the clans. In the meantime, the young medicine cat apprentice receives a cryptic message from StarClan.___________________________________(Exerpt)Mothpaw stumbled and slipped in the snow as she raced, her quick breath coming out in billows of cloud, until at last, she broke through the trees and skidded to a halt at the edge of a snowy cliff.“Remember well this cliff side,” the cat mewed, her elegant voice heavy with grief. “Before you see green again, the snow will stain red, and this cliff side will claim a life of orange and black. Your clan’s only hope is silver.”Mothpaw blinked in confusion, and in a split second, her mother was gone. Where she had sat upon the rock, the once-white snow had turned red with blood. Mothpaw breathed in sharply, the acrid tang flooding her nose as she took a step back; all around her, splattered along the cliff side, the snow had turned a dreadful crimson. Panic rose like bile in her throat, and she choked on the metallic reek.“Your clan’s only hope is silver,” came her mother’s voice.
