Chapter VI
Rosestar woke with her nose still gently touching the Moonpool. She was still unsettled from the ominous words in her vision. "It's time to go now, Rosestar." Goldenfern meowed from behind the rosy-pelted she-cat.
She let Goldenfern take the lead, and all the way back to camp Rosestar contemplated the sudden ending of her ceremony.
Who in StarClan was the "special kit"? Was she or he in DuskClan? were the questions in the leader's head as she entered the camp.
It was close to midnight right now, and most cats were either asleep or guarding the camp, like Fawnberry and Cloudfall.
Deciding to grab a piece of fresh-kill and go to sleep, Rosestar nosed around the pile of fresh-kill and chose a small shrew, leaving the bigger pieces of prey for the hardworking warriors and apprentices.
She curled up in the soft moss the apprentices Featherpaw and Petalpaw had placed in the empty leader's den. Rosestar was exhausted from the long day, and as she fell asleep, all her thoughts seeped away into oblivion.

The next morning, Rosestar was awoken early by the chitter-chatter of birds outside the den. She wasn't used to it; after all, this was the camp closest to the Twolegplace out of the six Clans that currently resided in this forest.
Oh well, no point staying in my nest after I've woken up, She thought logically, hopping out of the cozy nest and going outside just in time to join the dawn patrol. "Hi! Rosestar!" Young Petalpaw squeaked, seeing the leader first.
Rosestar smiled at the young cat, nodding. She looked ecstatic to be joining one of the first full patrols of DuskClan. The leader criss-crossed through the six or so cats to the head of the patrol.
"Hey, Swallowpath." She called for her deputy's attention. "Hmm?" Swallowpath murmured distractedly. Of course - she was probably organizing the patrol.
"I have something important to tell you. Since you're busy now, I would like you to meet me in my den at sunhigh." Rosestar whispered formally.
Now Swallowpath snapped to attention. "Okay." She said, understanding. "I'll meet you there. I understand that this should be very important, yes?" The deputy meowed in a serious tone.
Rosestar could only nod.
A/N: Some of you should have noticed that my name has changed! "Aqua Butterfly Aquastar" → xXAquaTinyCloudXx
This is a short chapter, but it's just a filler so you know, yeah. Next chapter is a special allegiances chapter of the New Clans.
After the allegiances chapter we will continue on with Chapter 7.
