Chapter 24
Onestar's POV
Onestar raced home with Kestrelflight hard on his paws. The wind ruffled his pelt as he ran on the moor. 'I haven't run like this in moons!' he thought.
Soon enough, they were back at camp. Onestar greeted Nightcloud, who was guarding the entrance. The camp was silent as Onestar padded towards his den. It had been a tiring day, and he'd wanted to rest.
Onestar settled into his nest and lay down. He closed his eyes.
Once Onestar reopened them, he found himself facing a light gray tom with brilliant blue eyes.
"I don't think I know you," Onestar mewed.
"Me either," Kestrelflight agreed as he padded into the clearing.
'Well, I don't know how Kestrelflight is here, but he's here,' Onestar thought.
"My name is Sky. Of course, founder of SkyClan. I assume Bramblestar explained everything to you two?"
Onestar and Kestrelflight nodded.
"You must depart for SkyClan immediately. Leafstar is about to join the SkyClan skies with us soon, so you must hurry."
"Wait, me?" Onestar asked.
"You, along with the other leaders. I've already talked to them. They said they could depart as soon as the sun rises in two days."
"All right, then. What do we do there?"
"Form an alliance with Leafstar. There is great darkness coming, more than in the Great Battle. Be careful of who you trust, Onestar. May StarClan light your path."
"And yours as well," Onestar replied.
Onestar blinked, and he was back in his den. Daylight was streaming from the entrance. He exited the den and padded towards the medicine cat den.
"Did we just share the same dream last night?" Onestar asked Kestrelflight.
"Most definitely," Kestrelflight replied. "You must go, Onestar. If Sky himself has gone out of his way to pass on a message, you should heed it."
Onestar nodded and exited the den. He found Harespring assigning patrols.
"Harespring, are there any warriors that can accompany me around the lake?" Onestar asked.
Harespring nodded, "Weaselfur, Heathertail, and Breezepelt can go with you."
Onestar flicked his tail to the three cats as he walked to the exit of the camp.
"What are we doing?" Breezepelt asked.
"That is not your concern, Breezepelt," Onestar replied. "Just follow me."
