Cloudstar had just asked for his rival clans to give up some of their territories, so they could stay- their territory was being destroyed, he'd said. They couldn't survive where the Twolegs were destroying their home, Buzzardtail added.
Redstar glanced at the other leaders. Dawnstar opened her mouth, but the ThunderClan leader beat her to it.
"There have always been five clans." He started slowly, glancing at him medicine cat. "And ThunderClan will give up some of it's land so that five may stay."
Outrage broke below. Mostly from on particular ThunderClan cat. Silverhawk, a new warrior, protested, saying that ThunderClan wouldn't be able to support itself come snowfall.
That's when his sister placed a tail on his shoulder. "ThunderClan will find a way to survive." She mewed, though it sounded a bit reluctant. She hadn't wanted SkyClan to leave, but they couldn't, like her brother said, support two clans.
One by one, the other three leaders reluctantly accepted. The five leaders were to bring a patrol of their own to their current border so it could be redefined.
After that, the gathering almost broke out into a fight. The four other clans didn't like the idea of their boundaries changing. The gathering ended swiftly after that, and the clans broke apart.
SkyClan stayed at four trees that night. They would have to find a new camp, in their new territory, and it wouldn't be easy.

The next morning, Cloudstar took two of his five warriors and their only apprentice. The SkyClan leader was worried about their new challenge. Their home being destroyed was one thing, having to find a whole new one in the forest they all loved was a whole new one.
He hadn't expected the clans to actually give up their territory for an enemy clan, tradition was stronger than anything else. Even the instinct for survival.
After what felt like ages, the five leaders met. They each had given a small chunk to the in-need clan. Redstar looked unhappy, even though he'd been the first to agree.
It took the rest of the day to reset the new boundaries. SkyClan might have been closest to the sky, but Cloudstar knew that it was all about to change.
This would be his challenge- make a home for them when there's no natural place large enough for a camp.
