Long ago

Before there was you and me

There were cats of Drenchclan

That ruled our lands

Loyal creatures they were

For when their ruthless leader gave the word

They did not hesitate

Now, do not fret

There is no such thing anymore

You see it was all destroyed by one cat

Well, by two you could say

But the name we know the best

Is of the wise Crowshade

With fur of black

And a heart of gold

She tended to stray

From her leaders rules

One day as she walked

Through the always silent forest

She stumbled upon a small fur ball

That shined yellow so brilliantly

It stated up at her

With eyes of the dark skies

A small smile appearing on Crowshade

Making her feel glee again

But there was something not right

For when Crowshade would speak

The kit looked at her blankly

As if the words she said

Made no sense at all

Though it could hear quite well

For whenever a bird would flutter

The kits fur would fluff out

Crowshade came to the conclusion

That this small kit could not speak

In the tongue of cat

So she pondered how to communicate

Once while she was singing

The songs her mother used to sing to her

The kit repeated after her

Astonished, she tried again

And the kit did the same

The black cat then grinned

As a thought popped into her mind

And soon after

She began to teach the kit with songs

Crowshade came to the same spot every day at the same time

To teach the kit more

Such little things as where she slept

"Up in her nest, the crow lays to rest"

And where fish swam

"Down to the creek, the fish swim to meet."

But word got out about their lessons

Perking the ears of the ruthless leader

He snarled at the thought

And sent a patrol to dispose of Crowshade

But once the black she-cat had heard

She ran into hiding

Unable to find the kit herself

The small kit was taken by these cats

Thrown into a cage

To be tortured until they got their answer

Of where Crowshade hid

Each time they'd ask

The kit would just reply melodically

"Up in her nest, the Crow lays to rest"

Causing more anger to fuel in the cats

As they beat the kit mercilessly

As days past

Crowshade finally made her Attack

By convincing rouges and wanderers

To fight on her side

As they fought

She ran to the cage

Only to find a terrible sight

The kit lay quietly

Blood spattered over its golden fur

It's mouth gaped open

As if before it died

It was trying to sing
