The starry figures filed around a dead tree covered with layers of snow. "Let us all gather around the Moontree for a meeting together as Starclan," a single tom with a black pelt and yellow eyes that blazed in the snowy night echoed in the clearing.

"Why have you gathered us here, Boldleaf?" a she cat with chocolate brown eyes said. Her white pelt blended well within the snow.

Boldleaf spoke again, "Let all cats of Starclan hear what I have to say. Listen carefully, Sweetmuzzle."

His eyes turned dark, and looked like a dead lightbulb flickering.

"One will be shown, buried in the snow, to control thou powerful cannot, with the power of life in thy's paws." he recited carefully, choosing his words with caution.

Murmurs of anxiety rippled throughout the cats gathered around the tree. A cat with lime green eyes and a dark brown pelt spoke. "What does it mean, Boldleaf?"

"We must warn the clans, Sourglare. This cat is clearly dangerous to us all. We cannot let the cat live!" he announced.

Everyone stared at him, startled at his words. "What if it is a leader? How will we kill them then? B-B-Because I don't like killing. That's how I died..." a cat in the clearing asked in a squeaky voice, too hidden among the snow to be seen.

Boldleaf thought for a minute. He finally replied, "That is good to consider, Squealkit. But it doesn't matter."

The clearing of cats was shocked. "How could Starclan kill a cat? That was against the Warrior code!" A cat muttered to another near her.

"This meeting is over. I will warn the clans myself." Boldleaf said. All of Starclan's ancestors slowly padded out of the clearing, anxiety left in their trails.
