Prologue
Sparrowstar shook her head, finding herself now awake. She looked up to find herself in StarClan, and sadness filled her. Sparrowstar got to her paws and remembered the bloody night, and looked around to see the others who had been murdered close by.
"Sparrowstar," a cat meowed. Sparrowstar turned her gaze to see who it was: It was Pinestar.
Sparrowstar bristled and hissed, "Pinestar! Why are you still in StarClan? How dare you let a cat like Darkstar lead your Clan?"
Pinestar did not flinch, instead, he calmly replied, "Sparrowstar, there's much to explain, and I-"
"Quiet, Pinestar," a deep-voiced tom growled, and each cat looked up to see Falconstar standing before them. Sparrowstar dipped her head and Falconstar waved his tail. "Never mind the pleasantries, Sparrowstar. Your reign has shown me that we do not need a prime ruler. Instead, we have cast the moon as a camp; a camp where all StarClan cats gather to sleep."
Sparrowstar's whiskers quivered and she asked, "But why, Falconstar?"
Falconstar replied softly, "StarClan is not a place where cats want a leader; cats want to come to StarClan to find themselves in a place of equal rights, where every cat is treated like a leader; StarClan wasn't that way before. You have told me before, Sparrowstar, that it didn't appear right, and Mintsplash agreed with you. Other StarClan cats agreed as well and before StarClan could be split in half, I stepped down and proclaimed equal right in StarClan."
Sparrowstar nodded slowly and then asked, with a hint of a snarl in her tone, "Why did you let Darkstar be leader?"
"He has a right," Falconstar replied softly. "Darkstar is the kind of cat we need for the future, and you can't deny that now, Sparrowstar."
Sparrowstar noticed how Darkstar's path lay before him; how his true destiny would be played out.
"And now that you know," Falconstar meowed, "you can't just drive him away from StarClan instantly. In fact, he may end up having to be given a second chance and live in StarClan, teetering on the Dark Forest's border line; none of us really know."
Sparrowstar nodded and then asked, "How will he tell our Clans?"
"That is for you to find out, Sparrowstar," Falconstar replied calmly. "Come and see."
