"Cats of Treeclan!" Featherstar yowled. "Tonight, under the warm light of the full moon, we travel to the place where our four territories meet and exchange news with other clans under a truce.
"The cats who will come with Grassfoot and I are:
The warriors Thrushtail, Hawkflight, Runninglake, Leafnose and Sandycreek. The newly named apprentices Smallpaw, Gingerpaw and Lionpaw will also come with us.
The named cats will meet at moonrise at the camp entrance. That is all."
Gingerpaw found Lionpaw and Snowpaw in the Apprentices Den. "Isn't it amazing?" she meowed. "We're going to the Meeting!"
"It is," Lionpaw agreed. "What do you think it'll be like?"
Gingerpaw imagined the four stones that sat in a square with one stone in the corner of each clan's territory. She saw cats milling around them and the leaders sitting on the highest rock, Tallstone. She had only ever seen Featherstar with his pale white-gold pelt and Pondstar's brown and white tortoiseshell fur, but she had heard the descriptions of the Nightclan and Swiftclan leaders and she was able to picture them.
She saw Crowstar's dark brown pelt and amber eyes shining as he addressed Nightclan. She pictured Windstar's beige and white pelt and light blue eyes as he addressed Swiftclan. Though the four clans were rivals, the full moon symbolised a time of peace and friendship amongst the cats.
