- Deep in the forest you find yourself lost with no hope of getting back to where you came from. The forest is too thick and everything looks the same, so you have no hope of trying to retrace your steps, let alone remember which way you even came from. Just as soon as all of your hope is lost, a fluffy she-cat appears out of what seems like nowhere. She pads up to you, looking you up and down to make sure you are no danger to herself. Once she figures you are harmless, she takes a step closer and says " Follow me if you want to live. " With a quick flick of her tail she motions for you to follow her. You hesitantly agree to follow, though you aren't sure where she is taking you exactly. After a quick journey through the rest of the forest, you all of a sudden come out into the clearing, a large mountain straight ahead. To the left of you is a lake, to the right, more of that lake. You question the cat as to how you are going to cross, but she cuts you off and just tells you to follow. You do as told, following her down the edge of the lake. Right when you start to think that this she-cat has gone mad, you see stones in the middle of the lake, leading to the other side of the mountain. The cat stops at the first stone, turns back to you, then calmly says " Come on then. They are sturdy I promise, you will not fall. " She begins jumping across the rocks, all the way to the other side. You size up the stones, then take a leap of faith, literally. The stone doesn't budge as you land on it, reassuring you that it actually is safe. You begin jumping to each stone after the other, eventually ending up at the other side. The cat nods to you kindly, as if she was congratulating you. She then began walking again, into the mountains standing right before you. You follow her, knowing there was no point in turning back now. Soon you come up to an entrance of what seems to be a camp, watching the she-cat walk in. Many cats come up to greet her, but they stare at you as you walk in, confused as to who you are. The she-cat that had guided you here jumps up onto a large rock hanging over what seems to be a den and all of the cats of the camp gather below him, you doing the same. She looks down into the crowd and begins to speak. " I am sorry for being gone for so long, but I seem to have come across a loner in need of a home. " Everycat stares at you, but then looks back to her. Sh goes on about hows he has received her nine lives and that she is now the new leader of the 'clan'. She jumps down from the rock after her spiel and pads over to you. She sits down and says " Now for a real introduction. Welcome, and my name is Ivystar, and you are standing in the camp home to a clan of cats called MountainClan. I am the leader of this very camp, our past leader having his last life taken by a mountain lion. You are now one of us, and you will soon learn our ways. Good luck, you may need it. " And with that, she walks away into her den, leaving you to wonder what just happened.
