The forest holds its breath, the first light of newleaf cutting through the canopy. Three shadows detach from the trees—a ginger tom, a dark tabby, and a small black cat adorned with a collar of teeth. They halt at the edge of your camp, where one of your clan cats rises to bar their path. The ginger one speaks, his voice calm: "We are leaders of other clans, here to see yours." Your cat nods and leads them through the bramble tunnel. As they approach, the massive tabby’s tail lashes once. you, leader of this new clan, stands waiting. The tiny black cat’s eyes gleam, cold and assessing. "So," he says, his voice a soft scrape, "this is what we have heard about."
