PROLOGUE

Firestar and Honeyfern sat side-by-side, gazing into a pool. Then they sat back to make some plans.

"We will send this dream tonight, Firestar," Honeyfern whispered. "It's now or never."

"What's the point, Honeyfern? This can't be prevented." Firestar argued.

"We're under strict orders from Yellowfang. It is best not to argue with her and just do as she says."

"Very well." Firestar stood up. "Let's go and send the dream."

...

A few days later, a few cats from StarClan were at the border line between StarClan and the Place of No Stars, which they called the Border of Respect.

"You will not, Blackstar!" Rowanclaw hissed, grabbing the cat he had served for so long, but now wasn't sure he could trust.

Blackstar laughed. "Oh, yes I will!"

Rowanclaw hissed. He gripped the white cat who had very dull stars in his fur, for he hadn't been accepted into StarClan yet.

"You can't stop me!" Blackstar dashed over the border onto the Dark territory, where he didn't need a pool to get to clan territory. He vanished.

Rowanclaw was hit by grief. He knew what was going to happen.

Flametail was waiting for him. "That's it," Flametail muttered. "He will not be accepted into StarClan."

...

What's the dream, and what is Blackstar doing? Review to find out.
