Prologue
A tortishell cat had her head raised to the night sky, the moonlight reflected in her amber eyes. She was alone in the forest, the only sounds being the rustle of leaves in the wind. The stars above were suddenly growing closer, descending before her. Once they reached the ground, they morphed into the shape of a cat.
The tortishell bowed her head to the starry cat. "Jayfeather. It is good to see you again."
A snort sounded from the transparent tom. "I wish I could say the same but, alas, my sight fails me even in death."
The she-cat purred, amused by his humor. "So what do I owe the pleasure?"
Jayfeather stared blankly past her, his expression solemn. "I have a prophecy for you, Sunpatch."
The ThunderClan cat, Sunpatch, did not show the surprise she felt.
Jayfeather became very still as he spoke.
"When lightning strikes, it will choose the four that will travel to a new land, there they will find the fifth clan and bring them home. The watcher of rain will lead them through the war that is to come and the stars will be on their side."
Sunpatch tried to make sense of the words, her mind searching for answers.
"The fate of the clans rests in these four cats."
Before Sunpatch could react, Jayfeather began to fade.
Alone in the forest, Sunpatch brought her eyes back up to the stars. The seemed to stare right back; resolute in their decision.
Bringing her head back down, the medicine cat trotted back to camp.
Every cat was asleep, soft snores filling the camp grounds. Not even the new kit was awake. Hopefully Vinetail will finally get some sleep, thought Sunpatch.
Entering the Leader's Den, Sunpatch saw a dainty she-cat laying in the center. Moonlight filtered through the moss and made the silver flecks in her gray fur look like stars.
Stepping forward, the medicine cat nudged her leader. "Dovestar?"
The she-cat, Dovestar, opened her eyes and a blinked a few times. "Yes, Sunpatch? What is it?"
Sunpatch's ears were flat on her head as she spoke. "I apologize for waking you."
Dovestar stood; stretching her limbs and giving a mighty yawn. "No need to apologize. Now, what did you come in here to tell me?"
The dappled she-cat was silent for a moment. Then, "I got a message from StarClan."
Dovestar's blue eyes grew wide like individual moons. "What did they say?"
The tortishell repeated the prophecy, her eyes downcast. The fact that these four cats would be subjected to the whims of the deceased saddened Sunpatch.
Dovestar's whiskers quivered as she took in this information. "We must find these four cats and send them on their way. It is the will of StarClan."
Sunpatch sneered at her leader. "Oh, yes. We must do their bidding because they died."
Dovestar was a decent cat in Sunpatch's eyes, but was far too dedicated to StarClan. Sunpatch herself didn't understand it. StarClan was made up of cats just like them only they were dead. Respect was a must but authority was meant to be questioned.
"Do not question our ancestors." Dovestar said in her deep voice.
Sunpatch was prepared to refute, but knew not to cross the line.
Dovestar was their new leader, appointed a few moons ago. She was the successor of Squirrelstar. So far she had been doing a fine job, but she relied too much on the deceased.
"Well if that is all-" Dovestar began, but Sunpatch interrupted.
"I'll let you get some sleep." With that, the medicine cat sauntered out of the den and into the clearing.
Cicadas sang during the warm night, but Sunpatch knew that Greenleaf was coming to an end. Soon the leaves would fall and wilt; the clans not far behind.
