Chapter 35

Firestar's POV

Firestar walked around the Tribe of Endless Hunting territory. It was peaceful here, and the snow drifted down from the endless sky. Suddenly, bushes rustled somewhere behind him. A familiar scent hit his nose. "You can come out now Stormfur."

Firestar turned around and saw the dark gray tom slide out of the bushes that were behind him. "Was I that easy to spot?" Stormfur asked.

"You were like a badger lumbering through the forest. You need to catch up with your stalking skills," Firestar said, with a shimmer of amusement in his eyes.

"I was raised in RiverClan, remember?" Stormfur mewed. Then he asked, "So why was I sent here?"

Firestar's gaze darkened.

"The cats that came from the Clans are on there way to SkyClan, a great Clan that was driven away because the Twolegs destroyed their territory, and they had to move to a new location. I brought back the Clan, but something is coming, something dark. All the Clans, including the Tribe, need to work together and travel to SkyClan to defeat the darkness."

Stormfur blinked. "How is this possible?"

Firestar padded over to the edge of a pool of water. "Come here, Stormfur, and look."

Firestar watched as Stormfur padded up to the pool, and took a look at what it portrayed. He watched as Stormfur's face grew more and more horrified at what the Dark Forest cats had done the Clans.

"So… they're at it again. And the Dark Forest has somehow found a way to contact the Tribe of Endless Darkness," Stormfur muttered.

Firestar nodded. "Stoneteller will depart at dawn. You will need to help Stoneteller's successor, Flower take care of the Tribe."

"Why do you tell me this?" Stormfur asked.

"The Tribe cats in the Tribe of Endless Hunting do not usually appear to their Tribemates in dreams," Firestar explained. "They have asked me to help deliver the message."

Stormfur nodded. "I will be honored to serve my Tribe."

"Even if we don't share the same skies anymore, may StarClan light your path," Firestar said.

"And yours as well," Stormfur replied.

Stormfur disappeared from the Tribe of Endless Hunting as soon as those words were uttered.

Firestar blinked, then swiftly ran and disappeared over the Tribe of Endless Hunting's territory.
