The moon shone bright, and Silverpelt was filled with its radiance.

A blue-gray she-cat dipped her head to a cluster of starry figures. "It has been a hard trip," she announced. "The first Great Journey was hard enough, and having to move a second time cost us many great cats. But we have finally found a place. Tigerstar's dark forest is gone, and we have different things to worry about- namely, the destruction of not only our new home, but this entire world.

"Mouse dung!" snorted a mangy, dark gray cat. "Twolegs again?"

"No , Yellowfang," the blue-gray cat mewed back. "Even the Twolegs would be destroyed from this." She indicated a pool of water that showed a floating gold circle with eyes similar to the Twoleg monsters'.

"Bluestar, what will we do?" meowed a tom in the back of the group.

The pool rippled to show a small white cat grooming herself in front of a small orange tent. "Her name is Koneko. She is the key to stopping this 'invasion' as the Twolegs call it."

A girl's voice was calling, "Fuyuki! It's your turn to feed the cat!"

"Ok, Nee-chan." A black-haired Twoleg kit came out and placed a bowl of food in front of Koneko, who happily ate it up.

The cats murmured to themselves, and one tom called out, "Bluestar, what is the meaning of this? You can't expect us to place full trust in a kittypet!"

"Lionheart," Bluestar mewed calmingly. "Look at Firestar and all he has done."

Then a beautiful tortoiseshell she-can weaved through the crowd. "I will support Bluestar, as I have just received a prophecy."

"Go ahead, Spottedleaf," Bluestar permitted.

Spottedleaf's eyes flashed as she recited thus,

"Summer and skull will confess their love, winter and star will act as one, and the clans will unite with the chosen five and change the world as we know it."
