A magnificent swirl of starlight heralded the arrival of a small group of wandering cats in StarClan's immense forest. Their pelts sparkled with the intensity of a million stars. Their paws left brilliant splotches of light on the grassy terrain, which faded into the distance behind them.

"We should stop here," a scrawny black tom named Fogstrike meowed after they reached a small clearing amongst the trees.

"I don't think we can stop," a calico she-cat named Sweetmaple hissed in response. Her pelt spiked as she turned to scan the foliage around them.

"We have time to take a breather," Fogstrike insisted as he lowered his haunches to sit. As he did so, a soft sigh escaped his parted jaws.

"We've been wandering these lands for ages," a black and white she-cat complained.

Sweetmaple shot her a glance through narrowed eyes. "We can't be caught now! Not when the kit has finally been born!" she urged. A twig snapped somewhere nearby which made her jump in fright.

"Wouldn't that mean that it doesn't matter what happens to us now?" Fogstrike snorted, "StarClan is powerless to stop what's been put in motion."

Sweetmaple's eyes clouded with worry. "But I had dreamed to one day walk among our ancestors, without the fear of being wiped from existence," she sighed.

"These StarClan cats are blind to their pride. They don't want the Clans to be united, like we do," Fogstrike mewed quietly.

His companions nodded their heads in agreement. It was true, StarClan's judgement had been clouded for many years now.

"But now, the cat has come," Sweetmaple purred, "a kit born to the most powerful leader the forest have ever seen. She will unite the Clans."

The small group of cats closed their eyes in unison. Behind their closed lids, they could see the gray fur of a newborn kitten.

"We should keep moving," a burly orange tom blurted after a short moment.

Fogstrike shook his head while a purr rumbled in his chest. "Fine, we can carry on. But you can lead the way," he conceded.

Slowly, the felines got to their paws and started to wander further into the star studded undergrowth. But the would not have to wander much longer...
