The heat of battle was on. Cats tackled each other ruthlessly as they fought for their Clan.

"Look out, Daisypaw!" Diamondstar, the leader of ThunderClan, ran across the clearing and jumped in front of the apprentice to block her from the ShadowClan attacker. But the opponent, Rippedstar, took the oppurtunity to scratch deep into Diamondstar's soft underbelly. She was bleeding, and was too wounded to get up.

"Diamondstar!" A silver-colored tom raced over to her almost motionless body. He could see her breathing, but it was steadily growing slower.

Diamondstar turned her head to face the tom with all the strength she could gather. "Raintail… you'll make a great leader. Take care of ThunderClan…" Her body became limp, and her soul was now with StarClan.
