This is a more dystopian take on the warriors fandom. I adopted this story idea, along with the typed out Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 from Petalsplash. I hope you enjoy!

The warm breeze ruffled Stagstar's light brown fur as he surveyed the gathering island from his perch beside the other leaders. The Clans had been without hostilities for a few moons now, and due to the peace the loud noise of chatter filled the gathering. Looking down, he noticed a certain silver she-cat smiling up at him. He was a young leader, and she was a beautiful she-cat, but he was tired of her chasing after him. There had been a time that he liked her, but she had ignored him and treated him like a nuisance. Ever since he had became leader, she had suddenly taken a liking to him, and was determined to become his mate.

"Funny," a gentle voice meowed, "It seems to me that that she-cat spends every gathering watching you."

Stagstar looked up to see the tall, cream-colored SkyClan leader settling down beside him. "Lilacstar," he greeted, before responding, "I can't help but agree. Honestly, I don't even think Silversong likes me, she just wants to be known as the leader's mate."

Lilacstar's whiskers twitched in amusement. "If that's the case, and she's honestly just attempting to use you, ignore her. Not only that, I'd recommend casting her off to ShadowClan. I'm sure Ratstar would get along nicely with her, being that he tries to use cats as well."

Stagstar was about to nod in agreement, when Brightstar, the leader of WindClan, cleared her throat pointedly from another branch. "If you two are finished, I suggest we begin the gathering," she snapped, glaring in their direction.

"Yes, of course." Stagstar replied tactfully, although he was irritated with her blatant rudeness.

Brightstar smirked, obviously pleased by his easy submission. With an air of confidence, she turned to address the crowd. "As many of you often remark, WindClan looks scrawny, but I assure you that we are still strong!"

The rest of the gathering went smoothly. Prey was plentiful in all of the Clans, or at least according to their leaders. Other than the announcement that Rainfire, a queen in RiverClan was expecting kits, and Copperblaze, a ShadowClan tom had just became a warrior, not much else was said. Finally, it was Stagstar's turn. Thoughts whirled through his head as he attempted to think of what to say. Before he was finished deciding, he announced, "Just like the other leaders said, prey is plentiful. Also-"

Voices began to rise above his, and one cat called, "What's that?"

Following the gazes of the other cats, Stagstar glanced upward, noticing a brilliant light in the sky that quickly became brighter and brighter.

"It's a sign from StarClan!" Silversong's voice was heard exclaiming, "It must mean good fortune is coming for the Clans!"

Stagstar continued to stare up at the light, by the minute getting more and more uncertain of Silversong's words. Then he realized the light wasn't just getting brighter; it was getting closer.

"Everybody run!" he ordered, and leapt off of the branch, Lilacstar following him. As they ran, Stagstar realized that there was no escape from the island. The bridge was flooded with cats, and he didn't know how to swim. The light had almost reached them when he gave up all hope.

"I'll see you in StarClan," he meowed quietly, turning to face Lilacstar, who was standing behind him. The last thing he saw was the sad smile on Lilacstar's face before he felt a sharp pain, and his world turned black.
