I also want to say Gladewing, since she normally would have read it, but stupid parental controls blocked it. o.o I don't know why. Anyway, this sequel is deticated to Gladewing.

Wind howled through the gorge. The slick, grey-brown rock of the gorge walls crumbled lightly as a beautiful white she-cat stumbled down the Highpath. Her ears were pricked with anticipation as she reached the gorge floor.

"Clovertail?" she called through the night air. The thickness of newleaf weather ruffled her fur. "Clovertail, are you here?"

The words caught in the she-cat's throat as a pretty brown she-cat with white legs padded out from behind a boulder of a massive pile of rocks. The white she-cat's breath caught as well as a small, dark brown tabby tom-kit followed Clovertail.

"Pinekit!" the she-cat mewed excitedly. "You came too."

"He wanted to see his eldest sister," Clovertail purred. She padded silently up to the she-cat and pressed her nose to her ear. "Oh, Tinycloud," she murmured. "I've missed you so much."

Tinycloud looked up at Clovertail. "Why have you come?" she asked, changing the subject.

Clovertail sighed and looked at Pinekit, who pouncing at a pebble that fell from the Rockpile. "The Clans are in grave danger," the she-cat murmured. "All of them."

Tinycloud tipped her head to one side. "What do you mean?"

"The four Clans of the forest are being forced to leave their homes…and StarClan are going with them."

Tinycloud stared, blinking at her mother. "What?" she asked. "But surely the StarClan cats that have lived in the gorge can stay!"

Clovertail sighed and pulled Pinekit away from the river's edge. "A cat called Bluestar, ThunderClan's leader before Firestar, believes that all of StarClan should stay together."

Shock and fear silenced Tinycloud from venturing further. She simply blinked at her mother.

Suddenly, Pinekit mewled, "But what will the gorge do without StarClan?"

Tinycloud saw the hurt and sorrow in Clovertail's eyes as she looked at her kit. "I don't know, Pinekit," she rasped.

"But Clovertail!" Tinycloud exclaimed. "We can't get along without StarClan! How will leaders receive their names and nine lives? How will medicine cats share tongues with you?"

Clovertail sighed. "Tinycloud, when cats join the ranks of StarClan, they become much wiser. But Bluestar was wise before she died, so no cat wants to question her."

Tinycloud took a step backward, fear clinging to her heart. "Clovertail, this can't be." Her voice came out in an alert whisper.

Clovertail dipped her head, sorrow silencing her. She wrapped her brown tail around Pinekit's shoulders as the two began to fade lightly.

"Clovertail, wait!" Tinycloud yowled.

"Take care, my daughter," Clovertail whispered, her voice airy as she faded from view. "And look out for the lost warrior."
