;
The long grass beside the Thunderpath parted and Firestar prowled into the open, the weakening leaf-fall sun shining on his flame-colored pelt1. Beside him Graystripe sniffed2 suspiciously at the air.
“Great StarClan, it smells foul4 today!” he exclaimed.
Cloudtail and Sandstorm padded up to join them, and Leafpaw, the last member of the patrol, turned away from the clump5 of marigold she was examining. Cloudtail let out a snort of disgust. “Every time I come up here, it takes me all day to get the reek6 out of my fur,” he complained.
Sandstorm rolled her eyes but said nothing.
“You know, there’s something strange about today,”
Firestar meowed, glancing up and down the Thunderpath.
“There aren’t any monsters in sight, but the smell’s worse than ever.”
“And I can hear something,” Leafpaw added, her ears pricked7
The wind carried a deep-toned roaring sound toward the group of cats, faint with distance but growing gradually louder.

his blue eyes. “What’s that? I’ve never heard . . .” His voice trailed off and he stood gaping8.
Over a rise in the Thunderpath came the biggest monster any of the cats had seen in their lives. Sunlight dazzled off its gleaming body, and its shape rippled9 in the heat rising from the surface of the Thunderpath. Its throaty roaring grew and grew until it seemed to fill the whole forest.
