"Bluestar, look into the water. What do you see?"

Two silhouettes appeared sitting around a clear blue pool of water amid a vast space of darkness. Two cats, one with a silvery white pelt and another with bluish gray fur, were talking quietly to one another. Bluestar turned to her companion.

"I…I don't see anything, Cinderpelt," she confusedly meowed. "Is there something I'm--"

Suddenly, a piercing cry split into the night sky. Bluestar frantically backed away from the water, her eyes wide in fear and disbelief. "Cinderpelt, is that Tigerstar?? Why is his face in the pool? Has he come back?!"

Cinderpelt gently flicked her tail across Bluestar's shoulder. "Don't worry," she said reassuringly. "It's not Tigerstar you're seeing. Take a look again."

Cautiously, Bluestar approached the pool. "Tigerstar's" reflection stared back at her. 'Whoever this cat is', Bluestar thought, 'He looks exactly like Tigerstar.' She peered closer. Amber eyes, the tiger-like pelt, sharp claws…this cat had it all. Yet there was just something that didn't seem right. The cat she was looking at had no confidence or glare of ambition and ferocity in its eyes. This cat seemed small and defeated, like a shell of Tigerstar's former self.

"Who is this, Cinderpelt?" Bluestar asked. "Not Brambleclaw, I'll bet. "

"No, it's not. This is Kisa, who will bring about a great change in this forest. Whether it's for the better or the worst, I do not know."

"Kisa, huh? Is she related to Tigerstar in some way?"

"That is also uncertain. Her relationship with him is yet to be determined. Although she doesn't show his desire for power now, that might change later. She and her companions will bring about a great change in this forest." Cinderpelt got up and turned to leave.

"I must warn Firestar. None of them can be trusted."
