The Tribe of Rushing Water was heading up the slope. Their eyes were all glazed with terror. "Where do we go?" one rasped.
The Tribe leader shook his head. "Let the Tribe of Endless Hunting guide us, wherever we shall go." His name was Blackfortune. His pelt was burnt at the edges.
A young she-cat meowed anxiously, "Are we going to reach shelter soon? Moonrise is coming, and the chill will freeze our bones."
"We must wait, and walk. The Tribe of Endless Hunting will bring us to the way." His head swiveled to the right as he spotted a forest at the edge of the long mountain below.
"This is it!" Blackfortune screamed triumphantly. "That is the rock where the moonlight shines with the thorn sharp rocks! The Tribe of Endless Hunting have spoken the truth, we have found it!"
The cats behind him yowled in delight and relief. "Where shall we live in this forest, Blackfortune?" a young she-cat asked.
"You must wait, Salmon of the Flowing Stream." he told the cat calmly. "The Tribe of Endless Hunting promised us a great future. Just follow the star above. It will lead us to our home." He dipped his head to the powerful star above.
Salmon of the Flowing Stream looked up. The wind brushed against her burned pelt as she remembered that dreadful day back home. Their whole area was plunged into a deadly fire that burnt half of their home. Although they lived right behind a large mass of water, their prey became scarce. Some flames have reached their pelts and their whiskers. Fish in the water were dead from the smoke and steam entering the water. They had no choice. They needed a home, and they needed shelter. They were forced to leave, or starve.
The Tribe of Endless Hunting promised them a grand new home, with equally as grand friends they would meet along the way. Blackfortune turned back to his Tribe members and meowed, "Follow me, the earlier we leave, the faster we will see the rock." He nodded to Salmon of the Flowing Stream. She nodded back and dipped her head.
"May The Tribe of Endless Hunting keep us safe and healthy." she prayed. "And help us regain our Tribe."
