             StarClan was more peaceful than ever. The trees were full of leaves. The river was rushing water slowly. The meadow looked beautiful. Everything was good.

            Skycloud sat down in the meadow waiting for the other cats to arrive. They were to discuss not only Mosskit, but his destiny as well.

            Icestar arrived into the meadow and sat down beside Skycloud. Skycloud smiled as the other cats began to arrive. Mossclaw sat down next to Skycloud.

            "Are you sure he's the cat?" Thorndapple asked.

            "Positive," Icestar replied.

            "Mosskit will be going on the greatest adventure of his life. He'll understand StarClan and the clans better than any other cat," Petalnose said.

            "He'll have much experience," Tooth said.

            "What if he fails?" Blacktail asked.

            "He has to be the cat that fulfills this prophecy!" Skycloud growled. Mossclaw set his tail on Skycloud's shoulder and Skycloud calmed down.

            "We've seen every other cat," Rosefur explained. "No other cat fulfills this prophecy except Mosskit."

            "What is the prophecy again, Rosefur?" Mossclaw asked.

            But before Rosefur could speak, Skycloud did. "As leaves fall, a pure white kitten of moss shall be born to the sky. The kit will gain more intelligence than any cat. Guided by the sky, the kit must fulfill the destiny of discovering his true-self."

            "I must guide him," Skycloud said.

            "Indeed," Olivetail said.

            "He will face many challenges," Icestar said. "It is your job to help him overcome these challenges. Do whatever you must to make sure he keeps going."

            "I shall," Skycloud said. "I shall do whatever it takes to make sure Mosskit starts out on the right foot."

            "Then it's settled," Tooth said. "Skycloud is in charge of this prophecy. You shall be watching him at all times."

            "I will. I already have a few plans," she smiled.

            "Whatever you do, do not ruin this prophecy," Mossclaw said. "Cats have been waiting for ages for this prophecy to be fulfilled."

            "I won't fail StarClan. I will fail no clan," Skycloud said. "You can trust me."

            "I trust you," Rosefur said.

            "As do I," Petalnose spoke and touched her tail to Skycloud.

            One by one, each cat spoke of their trust towards Skycloud. Skycloud smiled. She would make sure Mosskit was alright. She would protect him no matter what. She was the sky and she would guide the kit.
