Chapter 6
Into the Countryside and meeting Starclan
Walking to the edge of the forest, Sandfire stopped in his tracks and looked wide eyed at a very large clearing that goes as far as the eye can see.
As Goldenpelt looked out at the clearing she mewed "This must be the countryside that is at the edge of the forest that Thornrose has told me about".
Sandfire looked at her as she lay down in the bushes, he whispered softly "Stay hidden Goldenpelt. It is going to get dark very soon, so I will go and see if it is safe to go on this way and find a temporary camp that we can hide and sleep safely for the night ".
Goldenpelt looked up at him and nodded her head, then Sandfire looked out at the countryside and slowly prowled out into the long grass, as he went through the grass, he found a place that was hidden and safe for them to sleep for the night. He then looked around to find no one was there, then he listened for any sounds for anyone near by but could not hear any one. So he sniffed the air to find nothing but the scent of grass and soil. It was safe, so he ran back to Goldenpelt. When he got to her, he whispered softly "I have found a safe temporary camp Goldenpelt and it is safe from here to the camp ".
As she stood up she mewed "Ok Sandfire, lead the way please". Sandfire nodded his head, then turned around and started to run with her to the hidden camp. As Goldenpelt waited and watched the sky start to go dark, Sandfire went to look for some moss for them to sleep on. When he had got a enough moss down, Sandfire and Goldenpelt curled up together in the moss and went to sleep.
As he slept he found himself in the dream forest once again. He looked around to find no one there. So he called out as he waited "Firestar are you out there".
"Sandfire is that you?" mewed a familiar voice.
"Goldenpelt what are you doing here, I was thinking that only I could get here" answered Sandfire. Then he watched her as she came out of some bushes and walked over to stand by his side.
"What is going on Sandfire, what is this place?" asked Goldenpelt.
"This is the home of Starclan my sweet Goldenpelt" answered a very missed but familiar voice.
As Sandfire and Goldenpelt look over at the very familiar cat, Sandfire shouted "Thornrose it's you, we were so worried about you, now we can go to Thunderclan together". But as they ran over to her, they stopped when they saw that she looked younger and had stars in her dark ginger fur.
Thornrose looked sadly at the two young cats and meowed "I am sorry you two, I can't come with you. I am in Starclan now and I have to stay with them, but both of you must get to Thunderclan for that is were your destiny is".
Goldenpelt started to cry as Sandfire mewed "Ok Thornrose but which way do we go now, I was only a little kit when we came here?"
"They will help you find the way" answered Thornrose as she looked over to the right. So Sandfire and Goldenpelt looked over there to see four cats with stars in there fur.
As Sandfire looked at one of the cats, he mewed "It is good to see you again Firestar".
As Goldenpelt looked at Firestar, she mewed to Sandfire "So this is Firestar".
Sandfire just nodded his head as he kept looking at Firestar who mewed "Hello Sandfire it is good to see that you and Goldenpelt have got out of the forest safely".
"Thank you Firestar, but who are they" Sandfire mewed.
As Firestar stepped away from the three cats, he mewed "The cats with me were in Thunderclan when they were alive. The blue-grey she-cat with icely blue eyes is called Bluestar, she was my leader when I was just a warrior. The dark grey she-cat is called Yellowfang. She was a medicine cat and the big snowy-white tom is called Whitestorm, he was my deputy and a very good warrior and they are here to teach you both our ways".
"I will teach you both the warrior code, It is a list of fifteen rules that shoud be followed by all the clans" meowed Bluestar.
"I will teach you both a little of the clans history " meowed Yellowfang.
"And I wll teach you both how to fight and hunt with Thunderclan skills" meowed Whitestorm.
As the two young cats listened to the Starclan cats, they nodded their heads. Then Firestar looked from Bluestar, Yellowfang and Whitestorm to the two young cats to mew "Five days away from here there is a mountain, there you will find the Tribe of Rushing Water. Their leader is also their healer called Stoneteller, ask him to see a cat named Stormfur, he was a clan cat from Riverclan. His mother was Silverstream from Riverclan but his father is my good friend Greystripe who is a Thunderclan cat. He will help you get to the lake and to find your way to the mountain just follow your heart, you have a power that will help you with your destiny, now you both must go, the sun is coming up and you will see Bluestar tonight, good luck to you both". Then they left, leaving the two to wake up and start a new day.
