"No, oh no!" cried out a desperate voice. Pawsteps were heard as Blackstar, the advisor of Catopia's captain, hurried over to the captain's den.
Gingerpelt poked his head out of the den, anxiously asking, "What's going on, Blackstar?"
Blackstar was bristling as he explained how he had heard from Graypelt- a hermit from a nearby alley, of the threat from the SPCA pound. "The pound is coming to get us! If we don't do something, not only us, but Catopia will be doomed!" Blackstar yowled.
Gingerpelt spat and said, "We must call for a clan meeting now."
All the cats gathered around a stone ledge as Gingerpelt made his announcement. "Cats of Catopia, Blackstar had brought us grave news." He scanned the crowd as he said, "The pound is coming."
Murmurs broke out among the crowd as they began discussing. The noise died down as the captain continued.
"We have to find out a way to solve this serious matter. In order to do this, I've chosen some cats that will travel to Lantau Island to seek for advice from the stars. Blackstar, I would like you to accompany three cats I've chosen. Calicopelt, Tuxedopelt and Leopardspot will go on this journey. Meanwhile, we must watch out for the pound. The meeting is dismissed."
Murmurs broke out again as the cats began descending back to their dens. The four chosen cats stayed behind in silence.
Finally, Calicopelt yowled, "What are we going to do? I'm sure I won't be able to do that! I've graduated as a hunter not too long ago!"
"We must do what's good for Catopia. You have to believe in yourself if Gingerpelt has chosen us." murmured Leopardspot. "Come on, we must go to Gingerpelt's den."
"You four will leave tomorrow at dawn. Blackstar, you'll help them during the journey. You better stop at Graypelt's den. I think he knows a good route to get to Lantau Island quickly. May the stars be with you all." Gingerpelt said.
The cats descended back to their dens. Calicopelt, in particular, had trouble sleeping.
Dawn came almost immediately. The four cats stretched and went out of their dens. Already outside stood everyone from Catopia giving their blessings to the travelers.
"Good luck!" "May the stars light your path!" cried out everyone.
The travelers soon set off out of Catopia and their long, hard journey began...
