"Bluestone had turned to look at Stream, shock rippled through his water-like eyes…" Otterpelt's voice soothed them once again into the land of the sleeping.

"What do you mean by that?" he shrieked, padding up to her.

"I mean exactly that," Stream scoffed.

Bluestone rested his paw on his head. "Oh great StarClan… what have I gotten myself into?"

"Well?" Stream snapped, her blue eyes reflected her anger.

"StarClan is the Clan of the forever resting," the older feline explained. "Basically the Clan of the dead."

"Okay," Marsh nodded. "Continue…"

"StarClan is full of leaders, deputies, medicine cats, warriors, apprentices, queens, and kits," Bluestone continued. "Leaders have nine lives, and their names always end with 'star', they lead their Clan. Deputies are like the second in command, but still follow the instructions of the leader. Medicine cats are cats who specialize in healing other cats in their Clan. Warriors - are basically hunters and fighters. Apprentices are cats who are at least six moons old, they train to be either warriors or the next medicine cat. Queens are mothers of kits. And kits - are well, kits."

"Clans? What are Clans?" Meadow meowed, clearly interested.

"Clans are a group of cats who follow the warrior code," Bluestone puffed out his starry-chest.

"The warrior code? What's that?" Rock meowed, flicking his ears forward, wanting to hear more about this 'warrior code'."

"They are rules," Bluestone said, he said it as though it was obvious. "Rule number one: Defend your Clan, even with your life. Your loyalties always should remain to your Clan. Two: Do not hunt or trespass on another Clans' territory. Three: Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors and deputies and leaders. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they feed or hunt for the elders. Four: Prey is killed only to be eaten, not for just the heck of it. You must always thank StarClan for its life. Five: A kit must always be at least six moons old to be an apprentice, no exceptions."

He paused to take a breath. "Rule number six: Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior names. Seven: A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. Eight: The deputy will become leader after the leader dies or retires. Nine: After the death or retirement of the deputy the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. Ten: A Gathering must be held every full moon during a truce that lasts the night. Which means no fighting among the Clans."

The tom paused once more to take another breath, "Rule number eleven: The boundaries must be checked and marked every day, you must challenge all trespassing cats. Twelve: No cat can neglect a kit that is in danger or is in pain, even if that kit is from another clan. Thirteen: The word of the Clan leader must always be followed. Fourteen: No cat shall kill another to win his or her battles, unless they have broken the warrior code numerous times or for self-defence. Fifteen: A cat that belongs to a Clan must always reject the soft life of kittypet."

All of the cats leaned forward. "I'm done," he meowed.

"Um, I've got a question, what does a 'moon' mean?" Meadow meowed.

"A 'moon' means the passage of time of which the moon is full to the time it is no longer seen in the skies," he informed her.

"Oh," she replied, looking down at her paws.

"Wait a minute… why are you telling us this?" Rock questioned.

"Are you planning for us to make one of these Clans you speak of?" Marsh added.

Bluestone sighed, "Actually - yes. I want all of you to create a Clan."

"And you… sort-of… lead a Clan, right?" Tree meowed. "You're a deputy." The last words her spoke was not a question, but rather a comment.

"Yes, I was a deputy of a Clan. The Clan was called… SkyClan," Bluestone meowed, nodding slowly.

"Well…" Meadow looked at her traveling members. "I'm up for it."

"Me too," Tree agreed.

"Me three!" Stream meowed.

"I have a feeling that I'm going to regret this…" Rock meowed, raising his paw to signify that he'd be a leader of a Clan also.

They all looked at Marsh. He spat a few words before sighing, "Fine. I'll do it."

"We're all in," Tree meowed and nodded at Cloudstar.

"Okay," Bluestone meowed, looking at all of them in the face. "Come with me. We all must find a sacred place for your medicine cats and their apprentices to share tongues with StarClan - although they betrayed my Clan and sent us away from the other four Clans."

"Wait. There are four other Clans?" Stream's eyes widened. "What are the Clans' names? Who are their current leaders?"

"Redstar of ThunderClan, Birchstar of RiverClan, Swiftstar of WindClan, and Dawnstar of ShadowClan," he hesitated before adding. "Or at least they were when… well… the past is the past, this is the present, we must find that sacred grounds."

They walked in silence for what seemed like hours. "Hmm… this place seems like a good spot," Bluestone commented, stopping in front of a small burrow. "Follow me."

He lead the other cats into the narrow tunnel, and stopped when the space spread out.

The cats behind him looked around, wondering where they were.

Bluestone padded onwards, towards a shining rock. The rock almost touched the ceiling, and seemed to turn rainbow colors. The pointed rocks at the side of the cave also changed colors, surrounding the giant rock.

"Hmm… Any ideas of what to call this place?" he turned and looked at all of the cats who looked around in amazement.

"Um… Shining Cave?" Stream suggested.

"Rock Cave?" Rock suggested. They all glared at him. "What?"

"Stone Cave?" Tree meowed.

"Star Cave?" Meadow spoke.

"How about…" Marsh said, "Watershine Cave?"

"I like that," Meadow meowed, nodding.

"Yeah, so do I," Tree and Rock agreed.

Stream just nodded her head.

"Okay," Bluestone meowed. "It's decided then, this place shall be called Watershine Cave."

"Now, either press your noses to one of the stones, or lap up the water around the giant stone," the oldest cat in the group meowed.

They all nodded and padded up to either a stone or the water.

Suddenly they were all asleep.
