Prologue
"The gathering is tonight. Who wishes to come with me?" called out Sunstar from the Highrocks. <BR> She looked around, and sighed. "No one? Alright, then... Blackwind, Appleflower, Falconflight, Ebonypaw, Falconpaw and Viperpaw, you six are coming with me." <BR> The six chosen cats stepped forward, and Sunstar looked up at the sky. The moon was, like the past seven full moons, blood red. Most of the apprentices were afraid of it, and to tell the truth, Sunstar was intimidated by it as well. <BR> "Let's go." Sunstar meowed, making her way out of camp. <BR> The good thing about being a RiverClanner is that the journey to the island was short, and didn't take nearly as long as it would for a ThunderClanner to get there. Sunstar noticed that ShadowClan was already waiting for her, as she jumped onto her branch. <BR> "How has things been for you, Sunstar?" Redstar meowed, kindly. <BR> Sunstar shrugged. "Fine. How's it been for you?" <BR> Redstar grinned, and looked at his paws. "Perfect, since WindClan hasn't even left it's territory for the past six moons." <BR> Sunstar sighed. He was right. WindClan had skipped the last six gatherings, and she was very afraid something had happened to Crescentstar and her clan. <BR> A new scent filled the leader's nose. ThunderClan had arrived, at last. <BR> Lovestar made her way towards the tree, her clan waiting at the base of it. She climbed onto her branch, and nodded. <BR> "Redstar, any news you wish to share tonight?" Sunstar meowed. <BR> Before Redstar could get a word out, yet another new smell filled the noses of the cats. It smelt like the WindClan they remembered, but darker, and like smoke. <BR> Darkstar made his way towards the tree, and hopped onto the WindClan branch. <BR> "I have an announcement to make." Darkstar yowled, ignoring the confused leaders. <BR> "Nocturnal wishes I attended this gathering to say that you are all doomed. That is all." Darkstar said, jumping off the branch. <BR> "Wait." Sunstar hissed, her fur rising, "Where is Crescentstar? Why are most of your warriors gone?" <BR> Darkstar rolled his eyes. "Those unloyal pieces of foxdung? I have exiled any cats I saw were unloyal or too old or young to be productive to DarkClan. And Crescentstar walks among your little StarClan." <BR> Without another word, Darkstar and his followers left, leaving behind three very confused leaders. <BR><BR> "We must find those poor cats." Lovestar meowed quietly. <BR> Sunstar nodded, and looked at Redstar. <BR> "What about this DarkClan?" Redstar meowed back. <BR> "Our first priority will be to locate the exiled cats. Lovestar, that shall be your duty." Sunstar ordered, amazed that Redstar wasn't questioning her authority over him. <BR> Redstar looked up at the sky. <BR> "Then I want to be in charge of protecting you two. My cats have been dying to rip the pelt off some cats for ages!" <BR> Sunstar nodded. "I will allow up to three of your warriors in my camp." <BR> Lovestar tipped her head in agreement. <BR> "Very well, then. The Gathering is over."
