Part I

Prologue

A brown and white she-cat sat on a ledge overlooking a gorge. She gazed down inside and saw a white she-cat sitting on a large pile of rocks near a river. The brown and white she-cat sighed.

"What are you thinking, Leafstar?" a voice inquired from behind her.

The she-cat turned to see her old Clan-mate. The dark brown tabby tom stood with long, unsheathed claws. He was broad-shouldered and was missing the tip of his tail. There was a v-shaped mark in his ear from all of his battles.

"I don't quite know yet, Sharpstar," she replied and looked around at the land she once called home. "Noonshine received the prophecy only three moons ago…"

"Leafstar, it's green-leaf now. The chosen four should have left in mid new-leaf. You know as well as I do that the prophecy is late… unless of course there was a mistake," he mewed suggestively.

"Are you accusing Moonstar of lying?" the former SkyClan leader asked, appalled. "She is as loyal as any of us! I would trust her with my life. I know times are dark but honestly, this is what you're accusing our own kin of?!"

"They've done it before," Sharpstar reminded darkly. "Besides, you saw how she acted toward the previous chosen one… Who's to say that she could not do so again? She is a jealous cat."

Leafstar curled her lips back in a snarl. She could not believe what she was hearing. "Not jealous enough to stoop so low. Faking a prophecy would put lives at danger, even ours! It would only give those Dark Forest demons more power! Now that Tigerstorm is in existence there, who knows what will happen?!"

"All the more reason to be suspicious," Sharpstar murmured. "If she is a traitor, I'll—"

"What?" Leafstar demanded. "What will you do? Destroy her spirit? Condemn her to oblivion? That's a nice plan. We'll lose a valuable ally."

"We'll lose a weakling," he muttered. "We'd be better off without her feather-brained predictions."

"Every cat counts, especially now, Sharpstar. The Dark Forest would be thrilled to see us fighting amongst ourselves! We have to stay united," she insisted.

"You and your 'united,'" he scoffed. "You're always trusting everyone."

"Sharpstar, I haven't had an argument with you like this since you kept going on and on about daylight-warriors!" she snarled in disbelief. "You're a total hypocrite. There were times that I couldn't trust you! Must I remind you about sneaking into the Twolegplace in the dead of night?!"

Sharpstar lashed his tail in annoyance. "Oh Leafstar, just stop it!"

"No; you stop it!"

"Would the both of you shut up?!" a familiar voice snarled from father down the gorge. Both cats turned to see a mottled light brown tabby she-cat with speckled legs. She bounded slowly forward. "Honestly, I could hear you two bickering for eons away.

Sharpclaw growled lowly in his throat. "And what honor do we have to be graced by your presence?" he growled through clenched teeth.

Leafstar shot her former deputy a cold look and turned back to the she-cat. "What brings you here Frecklewish?" she queried kindly.

Frecklewish's ears twitched along with her muzzle. "Your doubts of Moonstar's false prophecy are false. The prophecy is very true… very true indeed."

"What have you seen?" Leafstar urged. She knew that her friend sometimes received visions of the future now that she was a StarClan member.

"Many things… many blurry… I could not see faces, but I knew they were Clan cats. Someone doesn't want us to know who are these chosen four… but they will leave the Clan and the territory—"

"Leave the territory?!" Sharpstar snarled in disbelief. "What feather-brain is stupid enough to leave the territory. No one dares go farther that the two Thunderpaths about a sky-length away!"

"Cats hate to admit it, but they aren't scared of dogs as much as they're scared of what the chosen four are about to face," Frecklewish meowed, her eyes gazing into something in the distance, maybe at nothing at all.

"What will they face?" Leafstar asked apprehensively.

"The unknown."
