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. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2uNYKMhuU
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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZqBD3yx8M
Dapplestar eyed the starlit sky with mistrust. "I've received a prophecy."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbwmD69mRn
The golden she-cat padded across to her and sat down, her eyes flashing with curiosity.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynuNzobpkI
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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKzsqYrfmg
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. 63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8mMKbsyLb
"Mudfur!" Goldenshade exclaimed. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at camp?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ZmzAw8eB
"I had a strange dream," the deputy explained, turning to the medicine cat with a sneer. "You don't have to tell me that."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHbJseoZPS
Dapplestar's eyes narrowed. "Tell us about this dream of yours."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqdqvi8kv
"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..."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfu1UugPW6
He opened his mouth as if there was more than hesitated, shaking his head. "That's all."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltQCFjtC2s
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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlDmrg7sSp
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ84WqIgZf3
"She was a kittypet before she joined us." Mudfur reminded with an edge of displeasure in his tone.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnZHrX4XUV
Dapplestar's gaze shot up at her deputy. "Your daughter," her gaze stirred into bitterness.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LOqemTojX
He stiffened. "Do you think..." He trailed off and stared at his leader with dismay. "You think she could be the destruction of MoonClan?"
