AN: Complete at last! It took me ages to write down the allegiance and character personalities, that's why it a day longer to post this. I've been listening to the King's College Choir, and their music is phenomenal. I highly recommend it to those who need a little R & R in their lives.

As for the story, this is only the beginning of Rebirth. The title may change depending on who wishes for a better title, and you're more than welcome to create a cover for the story. The story itself revolves around five kits, all of which are at around five or six moons. You'll find out who the main characters are as the story progresses ;)

PROLOGUE

Warm still air blanketed the forest. There was no moon in the midnight-black sky, but the stars shown as brightly as ever. The soft trickle of a river sounded nearby as the reeds rattled against one another. Somewhere in the distance the breeze picked up, churning leaves that had fallen a couple of nights ago.

Suddenly the stars began to dance in the night sky. One by one they fell to the ground, until the form of a cat emerged within the pale light.

A golden-brown cat with ginger flecks approached the river. His eyes were a dark shade of green, but their light shown as bright as the stars had. Muscles rippled beneath his thick pelt as he reached the winding river. Behind him were more cats who either flanked him or bounded ahead.

"You can't be serious about this prophecy, Leopardheart," growled a white she-cat with brown and black patches of fur. "This will doom the Clans if you go through with this plan," she added with a snort.

"I agree with Sorrelfern. This prophecy means nothing but trouble for the Clans," hissed a brown tabby tom with patches of fur missing around his ears.

Leopardheart, the tom in question, turned around to face his companions. His expression was filled with sympathy as he glanced at the two cats. They had been around for moons watching over the Clans. Seasons of waiting had turned them into anxious elders.

"My friend, how is it that even in StarClan your fur is missing?" Leopardheart asked when he glanced at the brown tabby. "Mudpelt, I am afraid that there is nothing we can do. This prophecy has been foretold seasons before even you were born."

The two cats stared at each other anxiously. Behind them the rest of the StarClan warriors shuffled around as they whispered to one another. Each whisper was filled with both fear and worry for the cats that were living now.

Leopardheart was about to say something else when a gray-blue she-cat with a silver-tinged muzzle stepped out of the crowd. He knew this cat all too well - she was one of the former leaders of ThunderClan. But there was something wrong about the way she looked. Her body looked paler than usual, and Leopardheart could see the grass though her torso.

She is fading, he realized. The thought saddened him, and another more fearful thought suddenly interrupted his sorrow. If she was fading than that meant more cats would fade with her. There would be fewer cats to defend the borders of StarClan.

"If what you say is true, than there really is no hope," she rasped. "The light of StarClan is fading, and soon the warrior code will as well. The Clans will be no more if this prophecy comes true."

"We must kill the cats mentioned in this prophecy!" one cat screeched. Leopardheart narrowed his eyes and saw that it was a small black and white tom with unusually long ears. WindClan's former medicine cat had sprung to his paws and was glaring at Leopardheart now. "If we kill them than there will be no on to fulfill the prophecy," he added as cats stared at him in shock.

"We cannot take the lives of innocent kits," Leopardheart growled back. "How do you think their mothers would feel if they found their kits dead in their nests?"

The black and white tom looked down at his paws in embarrassment and what Leopardheart guessed was guilt. He shook his head and thought of what could be done. The gray-blue she-cat spoke up again, this time her voice firm despite the fading outlines that shown through, "We need help."

"The Great Five could help us... they have after all faded," a gray she-cat with blue eyes pointed out.

"Dovewing, to do such a thing would-" She cut Leopardheart off with a stern look.

"I know the sacrifice," she whispered. "But it is all we can do to protect the Clans."

Leopardheart dipped his head respectfully. Out of the chosen Three, he was thankful that she had spoken up.

"Which kits shall we choose to complete this task?" he finally asked. When no cat answered, he sighed and decided for them, much to his disdain. "There will be one from each of the four Clans-" He was broken off by a yowl coming from the back of the crowd.

A creamy brown tabby she-cat sprang to her paws and glared coldly at Leopardheart. "Are you not forgetting the fifth Clan?" she demanded. "We came back to the lake after so many seasons of banishment. I think it is only fair that we are included!"

Leopardheart ducked his head in embarrassment. He had forgotten about SkyClan. Yet the Great Five included SkyClan, so how could he? Eventually his tail lashed and a decision was made.

"Out of Thunder, Wind, Shadow, River and Sky comes the Great Five. They will have no memories of their past, but they will be reminded of who they are when it is needed most. May they lead us through seasons of peace, and remind us of what the warrior code really means!" His voice rang throughout the forest, shaking the trees to their roots. As he said those words the Clans down below felt the power within them.

The time of the Great Five had begun. The time of Rebirth was now.

AN: So what did you think of the prologue? And can you see why I had such a hard time writing the allegiances down? Updates on the alliance will be every ten chapters, and with each Clan that is listed differently. You'll find out what I mean when it comes. Please remember to review :)
