Water lapped softly at the pebbles that slept soundly in the silver moonlight. Further up the deserted poolside remained a beautiful dapple she-cat. The crisp breeze lapped at her brown fur as she gazed at the peaceful lake before her. The distant water held the reflection of the glittering stars, her noble ancestors, like a warm blanket. The thick-furred cat watched the elegant site while another feline approached, stalking delicately across the glossy stones that traveled through the Evergreen Pool's shore. It seemed starlight sparkled at her paws and misted on her golden fur. 64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1wuWAs5s
The newcomer halted and ranked the waiting cat with a chilled green stare. "Hello, Dapplestar," she dipped her head gracefully. "Why have you called me here?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ375XwmT2X
Dapplestar eyed the starlit sky with mistrust. "I've received a prophecy."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltBERp81u3
The golden she-cat padded across to her and sat down, her eyes flashing with curiosity.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIREGP9AzH3
The MoonClan leader's tail twitched with nervousness. "Froststar came to me," she began. "He said when the leaves fall in the autumns breeze, they will turn red when an innocent soul is thrown away." Dapplestar turned to her medicine cat, overwhelmed with unsettling anxiety. "What does this mean, Goldenshade?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzNGAKlXDc
Goldenshade opened her jaws to speak, only to turn sharply at the sound of another cat brushing through the undergrowth a few fox-lengths farther up the shore. A dark brown tom stalked out into the open and padded towards them hurriedly. 64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhpof7xlUl
"Mudfur!" Goldenshade exclaimed. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at camp?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJN38oDNmO
"I had a strange dream," the deputy explained, turning to the medicine cat with a sneer. "You don't have to tell me that."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdghRWQGBgw
Dapplestar's eyes narrowed. "Tell us about this dream of yours."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG6hMIuHT5
"It was autumn," he reported. "The leaves were falling, and they were normal," Mudfur shuffled his paws nervously. "Then I heard a wail, and the leaves started to turn red..."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKfczeCVNO
He opened his mouth as if there was more than hesitated, shaking his head. "That's all."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XGqht8BM7
Dapplestar's eyes darkened. "I think one of our Clanmates will turn on us," she gave her deputy and medicine cat a glimpse of helplessness. "But who would do that?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVjbsDOU9E
"Autumnbreeze?" Goldenshade suggested casually. "Froststar told you when the leaves fall in the autumns breeze, they will turn red when an innocent soul is thrown away."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWXn9VpQUn
"She was a kittypet before she joined us." Mudfur reminded with an edge of displeasure in his tone.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHTJRSkVY3
Dapplestar's gaze shot up at her deputy. "Your daughter," her gaze stirred into bitterness.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXZDYOCGjb
He stiffened. "Do you think..." He trailed off and stared at his leader with dismay. "You think she could be the destruction of MoonClan?"
