The sounds of battle broke out across the moor as the two clans clashed in battle "ShadowClan!" The black Tom hissed as he throw himself at a nearby opponent slashing down their flank as a black tabby ran past him and her tail brushed against his flank while she attacked her opponent 

"What are they doing attacking our clan?!" The black tom growled throwing a cat off his back and sending another fleeing back to its own camp, 

"They want more territory obviously, Crowstripe" the she replied as a ginger she pounced her causing Crowstripe to attack that cat hissing 

"Rosetail! I'd think you'd have better sense than to attack my deputy!" 

Rosetail hissed and clawed at Crowstripe managing to tear his left shoulder's fur off while Spiderfur pounced on a tortoiseshell ShadowClan warrior

"Give up already! ShadowClan will never win!" Crowstripe spat tearing at Rosetail's ears

"Never!" Rosetail hissed biting Crowstripe's shoulder and hissing in pain as her cheek was clawed 

A pained scream came from a Windclan Tom, a large ShadowClan Tom had pinned down the cream Tom and had his claws threateningly over his neck 

Crowstripe threw Rosetail to the side and bit the tabby ShadowClan warrior in the side making him back off then snapped "Get back to camp Berrydawn!" he then threw himself back into battle. Berrydawn scrambled to his feet wincing in pain at a deep wound in his right hind leg and limped out of battle quickly.

The stars shone onto the moor camp and a pure white she-cat sat by herself staring up at the sky muttering to herself.

A blue-grey Tom padded out to sit near her, the white she-cat nodded to him 

"Is Berrydawn doing well?"

"His wounds are deep but they will heal" the blue-grey Tom answered soothingly

"The others?"

"They will heal as well"

The white cat sighed "They will heal with your experience Hailface and Fadedpaw's as well"

"Snowstar do not worry, Starclan will guarantee they heal" Hailface meowed 

"They haven't spoken in quite a while, have we angered them?" 

"They will speak when it is needed" Hailface said leaving for the medicine den

"Please Starclan, give us an answer to this, our prey is scarce, battles happen so often, the rain is yet to come these past few moons, what is the answer to our problems?" Snowstar asked before closing her eyes and sighing 

"Please give us an answer"
