Prologue

"You must be joking! How can you even think of sending cats on that journey?" a flame colored tom yowled in fury and shock. He, along with a green eyed pale ginger she-cat, a blue-gray she-cat and an amber eyed brown-and-cream tabby she-cat where standing beside the Moon Mirror, watching their two clans sleep.

"This is my clan we're talking about! Besides, you made the journey once before. Why aren't you willing to help us again?" the brown and cream she-cat hissed, her amber eyes blazing.

"If you don't remember, we almost lost our lives on that journey! We did our part! It isn't our fault you couldn't keep your clan going." The tom screeched back as he flicked his tail between him and the pale ginger she-cat standing calmly beside him.

"I have always had respect for you, but if you don't help us now, all your work and fear and hurt will have been for nothing." The brown and cream she-cat spoke again.

"She has a point." The pale ginger she-cat spoke to the enraged tom. She then aimed her words to the brown she-cat standing across from her.

"Is there any other way?" Before the brown she-cat could reply, a blue-gray she-cat spoke for the first time.

"You must know that I don't say this lightly, but she has a point. They are meant to survive. The journey would be long and the cats would be gone for many moons," she was speaking to the tom, but she kept throwing unsure glances at the brown cat.

"It would be dangerous and scary, for only two cats have made the journey before, but I think it will be the best thing to do." The blue she-cat mewed, her calm voice edged with fear. The ginger tom looked at the she-cats and sighed.

"Shall I send the message or you?" he mewed to the blue-gray she cat, his voice clouded in fear and regret.

"I'll go," the blue cat mewed after a moment. The tom simply nodded and padded away, stars appearing to dance on his pelt. The pale she-cat just followed him, trying to murmur comforting words in his ear.

"Thank you. My Clan will go on." The brown tabby mewed quietly and padded away, leaving the blue she-cat to sit alone by the Moon Mirror.

"Are we making the right choice by sending our clan mates on this journey?" a spotted she-cat padded up and sat beside the Moon Mirror. Without looking at her companion, the blue she-cat replied.

"The Three have come and gone. They did what they were supposed to do. They saved the four. Now it is our turn to save the fifth. Remember, The Times will Collide and Sorrow will be Brought, but remember This Omen, when the Sky is Fought." She mewed calmly.

"I know that, but we can't see everything that lies ahead! Are you willing to risk lives because we've seen bits and pieces of the way the journey ends?" the spotted she-cat mewed, her voice slightly raised. Still, the blue she-cat remained calm.

"We can and have seen enough," the blue she-cat replied.

"So you say, but Clan life is going to change forever if we go through with this!" the spotted cat pointed out. Slowly a slow rumble sounded from the side. The two she-cats snapped their heads to the left to see that the pretty tabby she-cat had returned.

"How can you turn on us in our time of need?" the tabby hissed, aiming the question at the spotted she-cat. She hissed in annoyance.

"I am not turning on you! I just don't want my home clan to suffer for this choice!" the spotted cat yowled, her eyes blazing. Instead of carrying the conversation on, the tabby nodded slightly, apologized, and padded off into the distance.

"I will tell him to keep an eye out for any cats that may be part of this prophesy. " The blue she-cat mewed as she stared at a glossy honey-colored tom sleeping in a nest surrounded by herbs.

"We won't send any cat that doesn't share this destiny. Once we figure out who they are, I will send a sign to Featherstar." She continued. The spotted she-cat dipped her head in gratitude and padded away without another word. The blue she-cat sighed and looked down into the Moon Mirror. She scanned her Clan's camp and noticed something out of place. 'No, this isn't supposed to happen! This isn't meant to be!" She thought, panic flowing through her, clouding her mind as she stared at a gold-and-black she-cat whose stomach was swollen.

'Forgive me. I wouldn't do this if it wasn't meant to be.' She prayed as she bounded across the starry grounds.
