Prologue
''Volestar waited. It was nice and windy. ''A white pelt flashed out of the corner of his eye. Whitestar was here.

The she-cat sat down in front of him. "Volestar," she mewed, nodding.

"Whitestar," Volestar greeted. He looked around. "Where are Cinderstar and Miststar?"

"Here." a voice growled. Cinderstar leaped lightly from a rock onto the ground. "What is it, Volestar? I'm freezing!"

Whitestar purred, "With your nice, thick fur? Surely not!"

Cinderstar flicked her tail over the white she-cat mouth. "Oh, be quiet!"

Miststar slid out from a log. "Wanted to hear if you talk about me behind my back." The blue-gray tom mewed.

Volestar meowed, "Nothing to talk about, Miststar." He flicked his tail toward a spot. "Sit."

Miststar obeyed.

The former ShadowClan leader Cinderstar hissed, "My deputy is sick with greencough! And she's very weak right now. I don't expect her to pull through."

"Have faith, Cinderstar." Volestar meowed.

"If our deputies faith is strong, they will survive." Whitestar agreed.

Miststar suddenly hissed. The other leader flinched. "Faith will not help them! A noble heart will save them."

Whitestar asked, "Who shall we send the prophecy to?"

Volestar suggested, "All four medicine cats? It concerns all four deputies, so it concerns the medicine cats as well!" he defended himself.

Volestar mewed, "Let's just send it to the medicine cats of our old Clans. That means I've got Tornfur, you've," he pointed at Miststar with his paw, "got Graycinder, Whitestar will tell Berrytail, and Cinderstar tells Truesong."

The leaders nodded in agreement and slipped off to get into their medicine cats' dreams.

.:Chapter 1:.
''Berrytail paced nervously. ''Redwing wasn't waking up. ''He's only unconcious. ''Berrytail told himself. He hoped that it was true.

The red and black warrior looked small against the moss bed he was sprawled out on. He twitched every now and then, but never woke up. Berrytail looked outside. The moon was full. The Gathering would start without him or ThunderClan's leader.

Berrytail decided to sleep a bit. Curling up in his nest, he cast one more glance at Redwing before falling asleep.

"The forest?" the medicine cat choked out. No. StarClan's hunting grounds. He couldn't see any of the usual cats he always saw and more. Had StarClan really abandoned them?

Suddenly, a white cat padded up to him. White with amber eyes. ''Whitestar! ''Berrytail wanted to speak, but White- star silenced him with a warning look. Whitestar took a step closer and hissed in the medicine cat's ear. "A noble heart can save Redwing."

Berrytail blinked. A prophecy? So StarClan hadn't abandoned them. "Whitestar, what do you-" But the former leader was gone in a flash.

Berrytail woke up. He flashed a hopeful glance toward Redwing. The leader hadn't stirred. He was breathing, thank StarClan. What did the prophecy mean? ''A noble heart. . . ? ''Maybe that meant if Redwing had faith. No, if the whole Clan had faith that he would wake up!

No, that was stupid. Tales like that are for a kit. Didn't the patrols say they ran into a loner that was trapped into being a kittypet? And his name was ''Noble? ''
