The sun cascaded down over the hills of the moorland. The gentle breeze hissed lightly as night fell upon the forest. The full moon was clearly visible against the dark sky as the cats gathered beneath the four oaks.

"Where is he?" snarled the grey furred tom.

"Do I look like I know, Greymalice?" retorted the blue she-cat.

"Remember who you're talking to, Crystalfoot," Greymalice let out a low growl, before walking away from his sister.

Crystalfoot looked up as the four leaders gathered upon the great rock. Meadowstar, the Riverclan leader stepped forward.

"Terrorstar, what is that traitor doing here?". The Riverclan leader looked in scorn towards Greymalice, the ex-riverclan warrior.

Greymalice had attacked two clan apprentices, Sandpaw and Rainpaw, leaving Sandpaw dead and Rainpaw blind. In return, he was banished from the clan. His scent was traced into Shadowclan, and he wasn't seen for two moons.

Terrorstar stepped forward towards Meadowstar.

"It would seem an honourable warrior stepped forward, willing to join the strongest clan in the forest". The Shadowclan leader snarled and stepped away.

"Honourable?" Meadowstar meowed in disbelief before moving towards Terrorstar. Eaglestar, the Thunderclan leader stepped forward, blocking the she-cat's path. He whispered into her ear:

"Meadowstar, now is not the time. Take your clan and leave. I am sure Terrorstar or Kestrelstar have nothing to report".

The young leader dipped her head and jumped down off Great Rock.

"Riverclan, we are leaving!"
