PROLOGUE
"It's not much longer now, is it?" A grim voice, tinged with regret and worry, bounced off the surrounding stone walls of the barren clearing.
A circle of cats sat in the center, a barrage of murmurs and whispers bubbling from the group of fur, tooth, and claw. But suddenly, all was silent as gazes ranging from mild pine green to sharp cobalt blue turned to Firestar.
"Soon all the Clans will be gone," the flame-colored ginger tom meowed, voice cracking. "And there's nothing we can do about it."
A shaggy gray she-cat, scars crisscrossing over her pelt, stepped forward and bared her browned fangs at the former ThunderClan leader. "StarClan can't control everything, Firestar," she rasped, tail lashing as she spoke. "We can't make the prey come back. We can't change what has already happened."
Firestar's green eyes flashed in the direction of the elderly medicine cat. "Clearly, Yellowfang," he growled. "But we should have sent an omen, or… or something."
"You're not an amateur member of StarClan," Yellowfang replied hotly, sitting back down on her haunches. "We've all been dead for seasons, and we all should know what the right thing to do is. And I say to let the Clans deal with it themselves."
The ginger tom parted his lips to speak again, but was cut off by a massive white tom with jet-black, six-toed paws. "ShadowClan has an opinion as well," Blackstar said, his gruff voice overpowering any last mutters from the other felines gathered.
"Well, what is it?" Yellowfang demanded, eyes narrowed as she eyed the ancient leader of her birth Clan.
"When we found this lake, I believed that it was where the Clans would reside for so many moons to come." Blackstar paused and glanced down at a few old ShadowClan deputies and medicine cats he had been talking with. "And we all agree that's how it should have been. However, there is an answer to all these issues we and the living cats below have been fussing over for moons."
"You don't mean…" A gray she-cat, pelt thick and shiny from a diet of fish, leaned forward beside her mother, who had her eyes wide.
"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, Mistystar and Bluestar, then yes, we think the Clans should move again."
A black and white tom as well as a brown tabby exchanged worried glances. "A third Great Journey?" Tallstar and Onestar practically yowled at the same time.
Yellowfang's ears flattened. "This idea has danger scrawled all over it. These cats are half-starved, Blackstar. Are you really insane enough to think that sending them on a moon's length or longer journey to some new place that's supposed to pop up and appear perfect?"
Blackstar embedded his talon-like claws in the soft earth and pulled, creating deep gashes. "Then I do hope you have another plan, because otherwise we are out."
Gradually each pair of eyes fell on Yellowfang, who shrunk back like a turtle in its shell. She sniffed, flattened muzzle twitching for a few moments before her eyes lit up much in resemblance to an excited kit at his apprentice ceremony. "I have a slight edit to your plan," she announced, hesitating to allow a few gasps to touch the air before going on. "The cats will travel- to SkyClan."
"Preposterous!" Littlecloud leaped to his paws, flexing his claws as though he were about to pounce on Yellowfang that very moment. "They don't even know that another Clan exists far away."
"Yes; we only learned about it ourselves upon our deaths," Tallstar added, face twisted as he thought. "But then again, it's not an unreasonable idea." His milky yellow eyes raked over all the WindClan cats behind him and Onestar. Each feline nodded once, a simple, stout, jerk of the head. "It appears WindClan agrees with this plan."
"Go Yellowfang!" a tiny kit squealed at the back of the crowd.
Over a bit of time, each Clan approved of Yellowfang's idea. Soon she and Firestar shuffled to the heart of the circle, turning slowly to meet each cat's gaze, to make sure they understood. "Then it is so," Yellowfang whispered. With one glance at Firestar, the younger tom knew what to do.
"SkyClan will again be reunited with the other four Clans, and together they shall find a new home."
Yellowfang's eyes glistened. "Us too."
You shall learn more about the cats in the allegiances by the next chapter!
