A/N: Hello again! Let's start Chapter 2!


Littlestar climbed up the tallpile sluggishly, her weak tail swinging back and forth.

"Whisperpaw, please step forward," she called.

The apprentice took a tentative step forward, slowly.

Littlestar was already mostly healed, and she raised her head, regaining strength.

"You have saved me and therefore I truly believe you are ready to receive your warrior name."

Littlestar waited for a moment, pausing for effect. "Your mentor, Whiteblaze, is dead," She lowered her head. "But yesterday he was already asking me to make you a warrior. He told me you were ready." Whisperpaw bounded up beside her and every cat held their breaths as she meowed the words they had heard so many times before.

"I, Littlestar, Leader of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn." She stopped and looked him over. "Whisperpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do." His voice rang out clear and bold.

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Whisperpaw, from this moment you will be known as Whisperbreeze. Starclan honors your courage and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan." Whisperbreeze leaned forward and Littlestar rested her muzzle on his head.

"Whisperbreeze! Whisperbreeze!" Every cat cheered. Littlestar gave the new warrior a gentle smile as they congratulated him..

As they slowly went back to their dens, Littlestar went to hers.


Littlestar woke up in a lush, green forest. She looked around the place, surprised that it was a different setting than last time.

SIlvertail walked into the clearing, and sat down. "Greetings once again."

Littlestar nodded. "Greetings." She tilted her head. "And why am I here once again?"

Silvertail's tail wrapped around her paws. "How well do you think your Riverclan is doing?"

"Very well, I believe."

"And how well do you think the young ones, the future Warriors and leaders of Riverclan are doing."

Puzzled, Littlestar replied," They are progressing very well, I believe."

"I wasn't talking about their progress!" Silvertail responded. "I was talking about their loyalty!"

"Th-th-they are loyal, I b-believe."

Silvertail tilted her head and blinked slowly. "Good, because a great danger will arrive, but there will be many dangers before that. And one of those perils, happens to be right around the corner. And to survive it, all depends on the loyalty of your Riverclan's cats. Good night."

Silvertail stood up and walked out of the clearing.

"Wait! I don't understand!" Littlestar cried after Silvertail, getting to her feet, "Of course they are loyal!" And then everything went dark.


Littlestar woke up, breathing heavily. What was that dream all about, anyways? She felt terror shake her as she began to doubt every decision for the past moons. Was it a wrong decision to make Whisperbreeze a Warrior? Or was it one of the other apprentices?


Littlestar looked around the mostly empty camp. She sat, disturbed, from last night's dream. Why, out of all the warnings she could have given, Silvertail had to tell her that one of her cats wasn't loyal?

Littlestar heard footsteps and turned to see their medicine cat, Minnowstream, padding towards her. Littlestar flicked her ear, and asked, "What is it Minnowstream?"

Minnowstream looked around, before beginning to speak softy.

"I received a dream from Starclan last night!" Minnowstream said. "They said, "There will be a disturbance, revealing the dark things which happen underneath." She continued.

"A prophecy!" Littlestar asked in shock, her eyes wide. That was the second prophecy she had received in a short period of time.

Her pelt prickled with unease as she noticed Ripplepaw pad into camp with her head held high, displaying a fat mouse she had just caught. "Ripples, dark water, they were all part of the other prophecy I told you about," she said. "Some of those themes were repeated in this one…"

Littlestar knew that the prophecies they had received would make it hard for her to trust Ripplepaw again. And she could see that from the look on Minnowstream's face that she was thinking the same thing.

Could she be the disloyal one?

"You don't think?" She started.

Minnowstream nodded, her face solemn. "Ripplepaw," She said to herself in disbelief. "Could she be the one the prophecies are warning us about?"

Littlestar looked at her paws, not sure how to tell the medicine cat about what Silvertail had told her earlier.

"Last night," She began.

Minnowstream's ears perked up and the black medicine cat looked at Littlestar. "Last night?" She asked, daring her to continue.

"Last night Silvertail came to me. She warned me that some of our apprentices might not be loyal." Littlestar looked away, blinking. "I didn't want to believe her."

Minnowstream sighed. "Starclan works in mysterious ways. Let's hope there is something they aren't telling us, and that none of our clan is disloyal."

Littlestar nodded softly, even though she knew Minnowstream was lying about her thoughts.

Sparrowpaw emerged from the apprentices den and padded towards Ripplepaw. For the first time that day she smiled as she watched Ripplepaw put down her prey and give him an affectionate lick.

"Quite heartwarming, isn't it?"

Littlestar nodded, caught in her own thoughts.
