Chapter 1 p.g 1


Rustpaw is a she-cat of unknown age with a long backstory and a huge journey of peace ahead of her. Come join her on her adventures as she travels to give peace and harmony to all creatures of all kind. We start here, in her clan, Mossclan. She is the leader of Mossclan, but she still has the suffix of an apprentice, paw. She has many allies and only one enemy. This is where she sees her destiny through, walking to her friends, Blank, the warrior she-cat with a strange personality, and Yuri, the traveling kitsune (Japanese for Fox), she begins her journey.

"Hey, guys... Can you... Maybe... Come on a long journey with me? Like a patrol that never gives up on peace?" Rustpaw asked Blank and Yuri. "Well, we have nothing better to do. Sure. Were to?" Blank Replied. "To the ends of Starclan." Rustpaw Answered Back. "So, ugh, where are we going...exactly?" Blank said pushing rocks out of her way as she hopped happily along the forest floor. She turned to the leader but no instant response was returned, like Rustpaw herself did not picture the exact destination in which they were heading to. "U-u-uh.... w-well... you see... I was planning on going to Lavaclan first... but I didn't know if you guys were up to traveling that far..." Rustpaw responded, shuffling her front paws indecisively. "Oh. My. Starclan. Of course I'm up to it!" Screamed Blank, how young she was shining through her, "but why would you do such a big journey on such short notice? Does the rest of the clan know?" "Well, not exactly, but I was planning on telling them when we decide we are all definitely going, I swear!" she spat out, hoping Blank won't get mad at her. "Also, why did you decide to takes rouge Kittypet gone warrior and a fox along? Why not take more trust worthy people? I can say for sure you can trust us but, a messed up warrior and a fox would not be my first choice for companions on such a long, scary journey"
Yuri stared at Blank in annoyance "Be quiet Numbskull and stop questioning the leader!" "No, it's okay. Questions will always have answers and answers will always have results and results give you experience. The answer is: The reason I have chosen you, is so you are able to learn more and make you better at surviving and trusting. You need to learn more. So, hurry and make a decision." she said impatiently, mostly directing her speech at Yuri.
Blank instantly turned to Rustpaw "Yes! Yes! I'm so excited! I feel like i just ate bubbles and they are popping inside of me! Yay!" Blank was hopping around in circles and singing a made up tune about how happy she was. "Okay, okay. I get it. You want to come. So, what about you, Yuri?" Rustpaw hesitated the question. "Ya sure, seems like fun! As long as want-to-be scourge here doesn't act too

Crazy." Yuri said fun and teasingly. Blank stared at Yuri with pure hatred. She opened her mouth not knowing what to say then closed it. Then opens it again and screamed "I don't want to be like scourge you big....you big... I don't care!" "YOU TWO. This is a journey of peace, not accusations. Now, come on. Go prepared with your items. Only take what is essential." Rustpaw spat at the two hasty cats. Yuri rolled her eyes and turned to her den to get her needed items. Blank shook her head, trying to clear it of the hate she had so she can think of what she would need. "Rustpaw, would I need to take my stick? It is very important for my day to day activities like poking Yuri, stabbing Yuri, fighting Yuri...and other stuff like that," Blank said with a twisted face. She turned and stared at Rustpaw, waiting for the answer (also known as yes) to slip out of her mouth. "No." Rustpaw Growled "You can find any other stick out there in the FOREST to use." Rustpaw grinned pridefully and walked away in a rush to get away from the cats' rivalry. Blank growled harshly and padded into the warrior's den to get what she thought was essential. Rustpaw went in and grabbed herbs, mouse bile, poppy seeds, claw sharpening rock, and a leaf bandage, wing sized. Her eyes were tired, and worried, hoping their journey would be fun, interesting, and successful. She walked passed chatting cats, thinking how much she wished she could be that care free without such a responsibility of being leader. She knew everyone needed and looked up to her, yet she still wished there was more time in a day to talk to other clan members. At least she could talk to Yuri and Blank on their trip, but she felt like they would have to be more serious and less joking when they leave. She walked out of the leader's den, hoping to see the other cats ready to go with a positive vibe in them. The she-cat continued walking until she was looking eye to eye with Shadowclaw. All her calmness and joy suddenly flooded back into her system, making her feel light on her feet as she walked over to sit with him. Shadowclaw greeted Rustpaw with a lick on the cheek and made a space for her to sit. "Hello, good leader," he said kindly, "what brings to to sit next to a simple cat like me?" Rustpaw rolled her eyes and laughed. They sat there and shared tongues for a while until Yuri and Blank came padding together out of the medicine cat den. Yuri looked at Rustpaw in sympathy, knowing much about what she felt when she was next to the one that she loved. Blank looked at Shadowclaw in disgust and turned away so she didn't have to see all the love and kindness flooding out of the couple. "What, Blank? Oh, is this about your relationship status? Come on, Toughen up. Go get a mate, now. You're being lazy about this relationship thing." Rustpaw started the conversation smirking. Blank cleared their throat and growled. "Listen Rustpaw, I don't need your advice about love! I'm seeing a kind warrior who loves me for whom I am and doesn't rush things, although we are not together in any sense, we can see eye to eye on situations. All you other people think that love is only about…sharing tongues." She gaged at the idea. "Hah, you’re just sad no one will ever love you," Yuri said with a laugh. "I was just making sure that you won’t let anybody push you around. It's rather good how you handled it." Rustpaw reassured Blank, giving her the cold hard truth. "Thanks, I still think Shadowclaw here is a bit, off, no offense," Blank said jokingly to the male cat. "That is no problem." Rustpaw said with a smile "He is an odd cat. You wouldn't see anyone around here like him!" she said jokingly. Everyone laughed except Yuri. "Are we going now or are you going to make one of those 'all cats that can catch their own prey' speeches about us going?" Asked Yuri confused. "Umm... I just need to tell you to go and tell everybody" Rustpaw replied, knowing that it was hilarious. Yuri huffed, “So you want us to go tell everyone about it! No way, I am too annoyed by some people to-" "I'll tell everyone!" Blank interrupted and ran up to all

the groups of cats sharing tongues to tell them about where they were going. "Now, i was not expecting
that" Rustpaw said in a Monotone. Yuri nodded in agreement as they both stared at Blank telling the news to every cat in the clan.
