Tallstar opened his eyes slowly. Am I there? Is this StarClan? He thought. A oddly familiar voice spoke. "Yes, you're here. I can't say how proud I am of you, Tallstar." Tallstar recognized the voice immediately. "S-Sandgorse! I-I.. I've missed you so much!" Sandgorse purred, but he looked troubled. Tallstar noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" Sandgorse sighed. "I'm afraid you left a wound on WindClan's heart that will forever be a scar." Tallstar felt a tingling in his paws. "What?" Sandgorse motioned for Tallstar to follow. "Let's go on a walk, shall we?" Tallstar nodded. I've just gotten into StarClan, I don't want to be troubled by a prophecy already!

He followed and Sandgorse continued. "I myself don't know. Only you do." Tallstar, who had paced ahead of Sandgorse slightly, whipped around. "I don't know anything!" But Sandgorse's voice was getting softer and softer, and Tallstar felt himself fading into another cat's dream. He was on a peaceful moorland. He turned around and saw Onewhisker. He wanted blurt out and tell the new leader everything, but he stopped himself. "Tallstar!" Onewhisker purred. Tallstar blinked, then before he stopped himself, he blurted out, his voice more mysterious than normal, "The Mud will be frozen over by the Frost," before feeling himself fading, leaving his old companion behind.
