Chapter one
The start of their worries...
Blood Ruler woke up at bloodspread before getting up and cleaning himself in his den beneath Blooded rock. Outside, in the light of the morning, were bloodshedders waking up and getting sent on patrols by the blood deputy Bloodclaw, bloodlearners walking out of camp with their bloodshedders to train and outside of the New Blood den were newbloods playing with each over.
Blood Ruler was just about to go out hunting with his mate Bloodleaf when all of a sudden his deputy Bloodclaw called him over to Blooded rock. Quickly, he dashed away to see what his deputy wanted of him so early in the morning. "hey bloodclaw, may I speak to you later after I'm about to go hunting with Bloodleaf." Bloodclaw accepted so Blood Ruler went back to Bloodleaf told her they were okay to go and went hunting.
"squirrel!" whispered Blood Ruler as he crouched down and began to stalk his prey. Once he thought he was close enough, he pounced the squirrel barely had time to notice him before Blood Ruler bit it's neck, killing it. When Blood Ruler had finished burying his prey to collect later he noticed that Bloodleaf was by the river, running through their territory, hunting a water vole who had come out to get some food. In a few seconds it was dead, limp in the jaws of Bloodleaf.
After congratulating each over on their catch they hunted for a bit more catching several prey from both of them, they walked back to camp with their mouths to full to talk. Once they deposited all they're prey they lay down by the bloodshedder den and basked in the sunlight next to each over.
When suddenly, Blood Ruler heard his name from across the clearing. Oh yeah! Blood Ruler made his way to Blooded rock where Bloodclaw was waiting for him "yes Bloodclaw?" responded Blood Ruler. In a quiet voice so that no one else could hear Bloodclaw said "so, Blood Ruler, me and a few other cats were out on a patrol when we noticed the river by the stiffpath has began to climb up the bank and has now created worryingly big puddles by the stiffpath and on the ground surrounding it. Now, it might not seem like much but I feel it may soon become a bigger problem to Blood Tribe especially with the days of Water Rise getting closer and I was wondering if Starblood have shown you anything?"
Bloodclaw finished his find with a bow of his head, before taking a step backwards to let Blood Ruler speak. " I have had one thing." Slowly meowed Blood Ruler. Bloodclaw's flashed a face of hope before returning to the sensible stare at his leader "they have told me a prophecy, it says 'the river will turn to blood and the forest be swallowed in it" Bloodclaw's face changed immediately to fear and horror "what do they mean by that?" questioned Bloodclaw as he looked up in the sky as though he expected blood to begin falling from the sky "I don't know, but it can't be good." muttered Blood Ruler darkly.
