Ok here's another long chapter, I would like to thank Littlewhisker and Harry Potter 101 for the awesome review. I'm serous it made my day. So anyway here is the next chapie. Don't forget R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blackclaw looked around for the night black pelt of his brother.

"Who are you looking for?" Firepaw was sitting next to him, "is it Goldenfrost?"

"No," he thought for a moment, "I forgot to ask her if she was coming, I'm looking for my brother, Thundereye."

"Oh ok," the red apprentice looked up, "can I go?"

Blackclaw let his tail tip touch the shoulder of his apprentice, "yes, but remember to leave when Stormstar leaves." The red apprentice ran off to find the other apprentices. Blackclaw walked around the hallow of cats when he saw the familiar black pelts of his two brothers.

"Thundereye, Shadowfrost!" he called out to the two.

Thundereye's ears twitched as he walked over to his brother with Shadowfrost following, "Blackclaw hi."

"Thundereye I need to talk to you," he turned around and beckoned to his brothers to follow.

"What's wrong?"

"At the border fight," Blackclaw scuffed his paws hoping his brother wouldn't take this in the wrong way, "why didn't you attack me?"

Thundereye looked surprised, "why would I?"

"Well we are from different clans."

"But we are kin," Thundereye cocked his head in interest, "Blackclaw you and Shadowfrost are my brothers I wouldn't attack you even if StarClan wished it."

Blackclaw remembered his dream with his brothers and mother and father with his family. This was his family.

"Ok if were done with the mushy stuff now I have something to talk about," Shadowfrost stood up and stretched.

Blackclaw looked deep into his brother's eyes the same emerald green and frost blue ones as his. Thundereye nodded and grinned, "Yeh were done with all that mushy stuff."

"Ok don't laugh at me but the last time we met I had a dream," Shadowfrost looked at his paws, "I was near a stream that glowed like the moon, I looked across and saw our father, he was teaching us how to hunt. He told me that he would meet me another time."

"That's strange, I had a dream like that but I was deep in the forest and he was teaching us how to climb and he said we'd meet again."

They looked at Blackclaw expectantly, "I had a dream like that but I was in a cave and we, well, we had to leave, Shadoweye was said and he told me the same thing as you guys."

"Maybe it's a sing," Shadoweye meowed.

"Who would send a sing to us?" Thundereye scoffed.

Before either of them could answer a yowl broke through great oak. All cats stopped sharing tongues and turned to tall tree where the leaders sat. The gathering had started.

Blackclaw was at great oak again. He looked around no one was there. A rustling came from the bushes. He saw his two brothers, Shadowfrost, and Thundereye.

"Where is every one?" Shadowfrost growled nervously.

A deep meow came from behind the three black cats, "I'm glad you have gathered here my sons."

They turned around confused and surprised. Thundereye was the first to recover, "so we're dreaming?" Shadoweye nodded, "than what will we see tonight?"

Shadoweye chuckled to himself, "you are as curious as always," he sighed, "Do you remember the last time we met?"

They nodded. "That is were you must go. In each area there is a gift that you will all receive."

"What sort of gifts?" Blackclaw asked suspicious of whatever his father might want them to have.

"Three gifts. First, swiftness for when you fight. Second, strength to carry on while others fall behind. And third, compassion for the ones you love." He sat down setting his black tail over his long claws. As an after thought he added, "your mother chose the last one."

Thundereye and Blackclaw snickered at the thought of Crystal telling Shadoweye what to do. Shadowfrost was thinking, "Will we ever see her? Crystal I mean."

Shadoweye thought for a while, "Maybe but it pains her to watch you when she cant be there," the pain in Shadoweye's eyes clearly told his sons that it was the same for him. "But anyway you must find these gifts or terror will surround the mountain an none will be safe."

Blackclaw froze what terror could inflict in the mountain that none would be safe. This sounded like a- "prophecy," Shadowfrost murmured voicing Thundereye and Blackclaw's thoughts.

"Yes this is your prophecy to become great so none will doubt your loyalty," Shadoweye growled.

"How do you know?" Thundereye and Blackclaw asked in unison.

"Ahh you don't think Crystal and I never watch you?" Blackclaw felt his father's eyes blazing into his fur, "I know your clans are treating you like traitors."

Blackclaw looked down and shuffled his paws nervously, he knows about Goldenfrost. Dose he disapprove? Am I a failure? Blackclaw looked up. Thundereye and Shadowfrost were gone and Shadoweye was sitting a tail length away staring at him expectantly.

"Umhh I guess your wondering about Goldenfrost," Blackclaw meowed cautiously.

Shadoweye stood up and nodded, "you know it's against the way."

Blackclaw growled. That clearly wasn't a question, "and what do you know about the way? You betrayed your clan and sent terror through the mountain! You practically destroyed mine and every other cats life!"

"Yes I did. I had never listened to the way. It has always seemed useless to me. Always having some cat telling you what to do," he sighed, "you obviously don't think the same as I do."

"No." Blackclaw chuckled to himself this was the exact opposite of what he had expected. This is what probably happens to other toms. "But I still look up to you."

A deep purr emitted from his father surprising Blackclaw. Blackclaw shrunk as Shadoweye leaned and touched his nose to his son, "I'm proud of you. I remember when you were a kit you were always eager to learn. You accelerated faster than your brothers," his tongue rasped over Blackclaw's ear. Blackclaw purred. "Now you must go. I will meet you another time."
