Firestar was peacefully sleeping on top of the high rock, where he calls for clan meetings from. It was newleaf the birds were chirping gleefully and prey was plentiful, after the harsh grasps of leaf bare his clan could finally eat well again and get strong. His fears of skirmishes along the border were there, but his clan was strong enough to chase away any cat from another clan who tries to hunt is territory what does not belong to them. His ears flicked hearing the early signs of the sunhigh patrol arriving back, Firestar got up leaping off the high rock to greet the group of felines who might have something new to report, on the patrol Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Cloudtail and his bouncing with excitement apprentice. Firestar greeted his mate with a lick on her shoulder which was returned, before turning to Dustpelt.

"There's nothing to report, preys running well and no seats of windclan on our side of the border" Dustpelt said, trotting to the freshkill pile, picking up a woodmouse he then went to the nursery where Ferncloud was. Cloudtail dismissed his apprentice who went to get from fresh kill for herself, and Sandstorm trotted to go nap, Firestar decided that maybe it was time to stretch his legs and go into the forest for a walk, maybe he could catch a good squirrel while he's at it. Looking around for Brambleclaw his deputy he padded over to arrange his plans.

"I'm going for a walk, I won't be long but I'm leaving you in charge for the time being" Firestar said, to which Brambleclaw nodded, now with the liberty of not being in charge for a while Firestar trotted into the forest, knowing it by heart, he looked at the greenery which was much more of a pleasant sight then the snow and bare trees, now the trees were full, green, and beautiful.

"I can't believe just how much time has passed" Firestar murmured to himself, and much time did pass, he was once a kittypet a house cat, before Bluestar the former leader for thunderclan found him, gave him purpose, he had three kits a mate, and even three grandkits. But Firestar's attention was pulled when he heard rustling of a bush, dropping into the hunting crouch he stalked to it, a rabbit! Big enough to feed all the elders, he was careful not to alert the creature as he stalked closer, almost in hunting distance before a blur of pale ginger fur got to the rabbit first. After a second of being dumbfounded he realized it was one of his kits, you!
