It was dark. There was no noise. Firestar was in his den with Sandstorm sharing tongues.
"The evening patrol scented fox in our territory" she said.
"I heard" said Firestar, "We'll be sure to chase it out."
Suddenly, Leafpool came bursting in. "Firestar, I received a sign!" Leafpool shouted, "There was a raven sitting on a branch. With a paw of a cat underneath it!"
"I see," said Firestar, "I'll think about your sign Leafpool, but I think I already know what it means."
It was getting late and Firestar was in his den and suddenly drifted into a sleep.
He was standing by the lake when he heard and smell a cat coming towards him. He recognized the scent almost at once. Spottedleaf!
"Hello Firestar. I've been waiting." said Spottedleaf.
"Hi Spottedleaf. I wanted to ask you about a sign that Leafpool received. There was a raven with the paw of a cat underneath it. Could it mean Ravenpaw?" asked Firestar curiously.
"Why yes Firestar! I want you to go looking for them. They're currently in a time of need and they need someone to help them," Spottedleaf said calmly.
Suddenly, Firestar became worried. "In a time of need? You mean they're in trouble? How can I help them" asked Firestar.
"Go and find them" said Spottedleaf.
"I can't leave my clan! I left them a long time ago. I can't do it again!"
"They'll understand."
"But... well... I want to go I just have to think about it first... Spottedleaf... What should I do?" said Firestar.
"Your heart will tell you dear one..." Then she vanished.
Firestar awoke in his den and he thought of her kind words. I must go... I have to go...
