Frostleaf walked out of the warrior's den. Longdrop had just finished his vigil and he was heading for the warrior's den. She mewed a greeting as he passed.

He returned the greeting and Frostleaf looked at the remains of freshkill, wondering if she should one. Nightstar came out of his den, followed by Leafnose, his gaze full of worry.

"Let all cats who are old enough to catch their own prey gather at the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Nightstar shouted.

Cats came out from their respective dens. Goldenfeather sat beside Frostleaf. "Why Nightstar called for a meeting so early?"

Frostleaf shrugged. Longdrop ran out of the den when he realised that he was late. Finally, Stagwind strolled out of the medicine cat den.

Nightstar began to speak. "I had a dream last night. I saw scenes of bloodshed and warriors being forced to break the warrior code. I fear that there will be trouble."

The Clan gasped. "Do you think it is ShadowClan? They kept attacking us," Icetail called out.

"It was definitely our Clan," Nightstar replied.

"I have spoken to Leafnose and I decided that I will go to the Moonstone to share tougues with StarClan in this dark time," Nightstar continued. "The Clan is dismissed."

Warriors headed towards Brownstripe for the patrols. Frostleaf padded towards Brownstripe as he was saying, "... for the evening patrol. Stormleaf, lead a hunting patrol to hunt near Snakerocks. Take Frostleaf and Dustfur with you."

Stormleaf nodded and went to the warrior's den to look for Dustfur while Frostleaf waited patiently at the entrance.

Nightstar stalked up to her and said, "I want you to accompany me to the Moonstone. Redfur will replace you and I have told Brownstripe about the replacement."

"Who else is coming?" Frostleaf asked.

"I told Leafnose to stay behind and Stagwind is coming. I am going to leave Grayclaw in charge of the camp," Nightstar explained.

"Why me?" she asked in confusion. "Just come," he replied walking towards Stagwind.

"These are traveling herbs. They dull the edge of your hunger," Stagwind explained.

"I remember that Appleshade had to persuade me to eat it," Frostleaf joked. Stagwind let out an amused purr.

After they licked up the traveling herbs, they set off. Nightstar led them towards Fourtrees and eventually found themselves in WindClan territory.

A border patrol spotted them and ran towards the group. Nightstar signalled for them to stop. They halted.

A young apprentice rushed towards them with unsheathed claws. "Shadowpaw, come back here right now," a warrior called Dovebreeze ordered.

Rosepelt, who seemed to be leading the patrol, stopped in front of Nightstar and asked calmly, "Where are you going?"

"We are heading to the Moonstone," Frostleaf replied.

Rosepelt nodded and told the patrol to back off. "Better not try anything funny," she warned.

Nightstar dipped his head and mewed, "We won't."

Not long after, the group reached at their destination. Nightstar halted in front of the cave. "Mothermouth."
