At this point I must bring up a passage from Warriors: The Darkest Hour. So read and understand:

"Firestar led the united Clans down into the clearing. Scourge was waiting for him, at the base of the Great Rock. His black pelt was neatly groomed and he sat with his paws tucked under him. His eyes were chips of ice, and the rising sun glinted on the the teeth that studded his kittypet collar.
'Greetings,' he meowed. He swiped his tongue around his jaws as if he were tasting a succulant piece of prey. 'Have you decided to leave? or do you presume you can fight against BloodClan?'
'We don't have to fight,' Firestar replied steadily. To his suprise he felt icily calm. 'We will let you go back to TwolegPlace in peace.'
Scourge let out a small 'mrrow' of laughter. 'Go back? Do you really think we're such fools? No, this is our home now.'
Feeling the last spark of hope drain out of his paws, Firestar looked past Scourge at the ranks of his BloodClan warriors. These were lean, tough cats, most of them wearing studded collars like Scourge, the trohies of earlier battles. Some of them were flexing claws strengthened with dog teeth, and Firestar remembered how Scourge's claws had ripped through Tigerstar's belly. Their eyes glittered as they waited for the order to attack.
'The forest is ours,' Firestar told the black cat. 'We rule here by the will of StarClan.'
'StarClan!" Scourge sneered, 'Tales for kits. Forest fool. StarClan won't help you now. he sprang to his paws, his fur suddenly bristling so he looked twice his size. 'Attack!' He snarled.
The line of BloodClan warriors surged forward.
'LionClan, attack!' Firestar yowled."

So this is that last bit, where Firestar calls to his Clan to attack and they move to meet the BloodClan kitties. I spent so long on this but I'm really pleased. I actually originally just sketched Firestar because I wanted to practice paws (his front left is at an odd angle, that was the first thing I drew) but then I ended up drawing everything else. The cats around him arejust miscellaneous warriors. I think my favorite part of this picture is the rock Firestar's standing on, and the sun "burst" near his head. I like that effect. Since it's late Dawn, the sun is really bright.

Mmm . . . that is my interpretation of Firestar, so no telling me his color's off or his stripes or wrong.
