Fear. Nothing beats that.

Pride. Too much can result in death.

Hunger. Pain beyond believing.

Thirst. A dry mouth and wrinkled body.

Weakness. Everyone has one.

Coldness. A tingling sensation that makes you shiver.

Heat. A plethora can make you die.

Love. Too strong to stop.

Hate. A cruel vision that makes you suffer.

Eternal Moon is all these things. The warriors that once were proud, hungry, cold and hateful. Now they live in everlasting darkness. And only one cat can stop this madness.

That cat is Silverheart.

Firestar still had not faded away, yet.

"Silverheart? You can't be serious. I thought you were better than this, Firestar." Mewed Whitestorm.

Firestar sighed as he flexed his claws.

"Whitestorm," he mewed.

"If I can believe in this cat, then so can you."

The aroma of the forest drifted around the cats, the lush canopy of leaves above their heads. Thick undergrowth and ferns rustled at the slightest movement of the wind, and the forest was alive with starry and wise cats and kits.

"But this is an incredibly arduous task, Firestar. She'll have to face things like badgers, foxes and dogs. She'll have to climb to the top of the tallest trees. Survive the harshest leaf-bares. Honestly, Firestar. She was made a warrior only a few sunrises ago." Pressed Whitestorm.

"So?" Firestar meowed, his voice becoming more and more agitated by each second.

"She can take some cat with her. I suggest..." Firestar pondered his thoughts.

"Acornnose."

Whitestorm's eyes glittered with thought.

"I guess." He mewed.

"Great!" Mewed Firestar, barely able to keep the excitement out of his tone.

Whitestorm stifled a purr as Silverstream bounded up to them, followed by Graystripe.

"Excellent choice, Firestar!" Silverstream commented.

Graystripe nodded in agreement.

"You always make the best choices, old friend." He rasped.

"Who're you calling old? Teased Firestar.

Graystripe's eyes twinkled with humor.

"I'll talk to her." Whitestorm volunteered.

"But you're the one who doubted her in the first place." Protested Firestar.

Whitestorm glared at him.

"Oh, alright then!" Firestar purred.

"Thanks." Whitestorm mewed.

"I'll tell her. And I'll tell her to bring Acornnose."
