The clearing was filled with excited chatter as the clans shared stories, news, and wisdom. The moon was full and shining upon the rock where the kings and queens sat. The deputies were all together at the base. Flamefoot noticed Hawkclaw nod to Iceclaw and Emberclaw.

"Caracalspring, Foxfang!" Flamefoot hissed to his friends.

The two toms padded over to him, curious about what he would say.

"Hawkclaw is a traitor! And they are planning to attack StormClan next moon!" Flamefoot whispered.

"Next moon?" Caracalspring and Foxfang were shocked.

"Foxfang!" Fallentree called from a group of NightClan and RainClan warriors. "Come here! You're a warrior now, come say hello to our allies."

"Ok," Foxfang padded over to his mentor.

"I gotta go too, Stonetail is waiting," Caracalspring meowed and padded away.

"Cats of all clans!" Bramblefur rose and everyone fell silent. "Strange things have been happening in our territory, and a puma once came to attack our warriors!"

"Things like that have been happening in our clan too! Cats sneaking off, prey being stolen, and a trainee has disappeared!" Larkshine said.

The clans began murmuring in shock and fear. Flamefoot remembered the prophecy that the stranger had told RainClan moons ago.

"I think we should send a warrior from each of our clans to go and find Reedpaw, the missing trainee," said Raggedcliff, his eyes gleaming.

"Yes! For the sake of our clans!" Bramblefur agreed.

"Nightclan won't be sending anyone! Not for the clan that betrayed us! Not for any of you weaklings!" Shadowstar hissed.

His warriors yowled in agreement. While some fell silent and did not speak.

"I choose Flamefoot to go from my clan!" Bramblefur announced, nodding to the golden tom.

"I choose Foxfang of RainClan!" Larkshine and Ravensky yowled in unison.

"I choose Bristlefur of Hollowclan to go!" Raggedcliff meowed.

"Sunbeam will go to represent SunClan," meowed Kestrelflight.

The four warriors padded to the front of the gathering. Greeting each other with mews and playful head butts.

As the night went on the four chosen warriors got to know each other. Discussing how they would find Reedpaw and possibly uncover the mysteries.
