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. 66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ur7Bypc1d
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?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeSV5Ii68D
Dapplestar eyed the starlit sky with mistrust. "I've received a prophecy."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnNCLQ1nVT
The golden she-cat padded across to her and sat down, her eyes flashing with curiosity.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbQ99NnjuZ
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?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUA9J1sY4k
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. 66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80MtCqUzku
"Mudfur!" Goldenshade exclaimed. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at camp?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfiwbWPheJ
"I had a strange dream," the deputy explained, turning to the medicine cat with a sneer. "You don't have to tell me that."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRxsHagTSI
Dapplestar's eyes narrowed. "Tell us about this dream of yours."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6NHZHmAEV
"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..."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkxvQOccOs
He opened his mouth as if there was more than hesitated, shaking his head. "That's all."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwAOK4VZ7Z
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?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwVokIC7mV
"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."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVbBXebBsg
"She was a kittypet before she joined us." Mudfur reminded with an edge of displeasure in his tone.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiXAQpmJBo
Dapplestar's gaze shot up at her deputy. "Your daughter," her gaze stirred into bitterness.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHrQpOX0Xa
He stiffened. "Do you think..." He trailed off and stared at his leader with dismay. "You think she could be the destruction of MoonClan?"
