It was a beautiful day, as FireStar sat by the river looking across it to the RiverClan border. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was as peaceful as could be. They hadn't had such a peaceful season for so long. He enjoyed this peacefulness.
There was a noise from deep in the trees, as a vole was caught off guard. He flicked an ear as he heard the vole, listening to everything in the forest, just taking it all in.
That night, BlueStar came to him in a dream.
He approached her on a moor. As he did, she sat there patiently.
"BlueStar."
He dipped his head in respect.
"Greetings, FireStar."
"What's wrong?" he asked his former leader.
"FireStar, you must find your lost Clanmate. She belongs with ThunderClan. Not as a loner. You must bring with you companions that she trusts. Let StarClan guide you on your journey and light your path."
Then she faded away.
He awoke that morning.
He flattened his fur and then padded out into the sunlight.
After finishing off a vole, he padded up the rock fall and stood on the High Ledge.
"Let every cat old enough to catch his prey be seated at the foot of the High Ledge!" the ThunderClan leader yowled.
When the Clan was all seated, the flame-colored tom began, looking down at his Clanmates and friends.
"I had a dream last night from StarClan. I must go on a journey to reunite a Clanmate. I will take some cats with me."
"Clanmate?" MouseFur questioned.
"What do you mean?" JayFeather meowed.
"I have pondered on what BlueStar told me. When she said I need to reunite a Clanmate, she means I must find HollyLeaf. StarClan wants her to come back home. She belongs here."
"Who will you take with you?" LionBlaze asked, as silence fell between the cats of ThunderClan.
"BlueStar told me to only take cats HollyLeaf trusts. I choose LionBlaze, JayFeather, GrayStripe, and DovePaw. Meeting dismissed."
After every cat said their good-byes and the travelers ate some traveling herbs and got some herbs ready to take with them, they left, padding out of the gorse tunnel.
It was a tough journey, as the ThunderClan cats journeyed past the mountains, heading out of the territory in search of HollyLeaf.
A moon later, they found her in the old territory where the forest once stood. Now it was all two leg nests and thunder paths. They were able to convince her and in the end, she was reunited with her Clan. So every cat lived happily ever after.
The End!
