You woke up, that didn't seem normal. You remember your heart racing. Wait, what? Air filling your lungs. But, that's impossible. You are dead, right? You were in Starclan after all. You look around, there are other cats, you know them. They were in Starclan too. Something is different though, other than the whole breathing thing.
Okay, simple fact: You were dead. Now, you're not so sure.
A loud voice echoes through the sky.
They are coming, prepare yourselves. The Ancients fight with you but you must defend this land. Protect our home.

Taking a moment you look at the land around you.
You're surrounded by rocks for the most part, large walls of stone go up towards the sky. It takes a moment to realize you're on a path leading up to what looks like a mountain, though upon further inspection you realize that what you're on is the only path to the top as after you reach the top it is a steep cliff that falls into what almost seems to be nothingness, it's impossible to tell from here though. You are able to see streams that flow among the rocks coming down from the top of the mountain, your fresh water source. If you were to follow the path down rather than up it goes into a thick forest, the most likely place to find food, the streams likely feed into a lake which would feed a river, though you must explore more to be sure.
By one of the rock walls is a set of pointed rocks, it's certainly not a natural formation, almost looking placed. Among the spiked rocks that stick outwards are a series of holes, tunnels really. Most lead to dead ends but one does not. This tunnel is pitch black inside but leads past the pointed and rocks after a short distance and into a small clearing, devoid of any pointed rocks, really devoid of any rocks that aren't a few flat ones that certainly could hold one or two cats on them. It's not much but certainly well fortified against attack given the outside. The clearing is surrounded by a tall stone wall, it's like it was just carved out of the landscape itself. There are holes in the stone wall that lead into several different caves of varying sizes. This place doesn't seem to be natural, rather something that was created. Likely a home for those who have been brought back.
What exactly are the Ancients though and who is coming?
