Part One: The Messenger
Prologue

    "What do you want with me, Bluestar?"

    A throng of cats were huddled around a starry waterfall. Duskfall recognized only a few: Bluestar, Duststar, and Ryewhisker.
    Bluestar glanced calmly at the Windclan cat. "I called you because you would care most about this."

    "Care most about what?" Duskfall spoke a little harshly, annoyed that the clans would need his help, after all, he'd been dead longer than all the cats assembled here.

    Bluestar ignored his tone, pointing with her tail to each companion. "This is Emberstar, Ryewhisker, Cloudberry, and Duststar. You already know of Duststar and Ryewhisker as past Windclan cats. Cloudberry and Emberstar," she mewed, indicating the dark-red tabby and a smaller gray cat, "Are past Riverclan cats."

    Duskfall noticed a tension in the air he had not felt upon his arrival. The cat, Ryewhisker, stared at them all rather coldly. Emberstar was watching the brown tabby through slitted eyes, while Duststar and Cloudberry just looked uncomfortable.

    "Duskfall," Bluestar meowed urgently, "We have all had a sign about three cats. But this sign is peculiar in that it involves a fourth cat not of the clans or even the mountain tribe." Bluestar's fur spiked in irritation, her whiskers fanned out. "And one cat, a windclan cat, is shrouded in mystery. There is an aura about her that is almost identical to that of the first Windclan leader."

    The past Thunderclan leader looked at Cloudberry and Ryewhisker. "We have all had whisperings of what might happen. That's why you two are here; in case these whispers prove true."

    The brown tabby lashed his tail, "This is ridiculous. Let them solve their own problems. Haven't we been through enough?"

    Emberstar growled deep in his throat. He stood, threatening his clanmate with his size and bristling fur. "This is for your clan. You should be honored that you were called at all. Besides," Emberstar's mew was now tinged with pity, "You and Cloudberry know firsthand what they will endure."

    The dark-gray she-cat spoke quietly, "We understand father." Duskfall tried to get a better look at Cloudberry, but she was downcast.

    Ryewhisker hissed, exasperated, "We don't know for certain what path they will choose. Starclan doesn't know everything."

    Bluestar and Duskfall had, for the most part, remained quiet as the others conversed. Bluestar held her tongue, being the youngest of the group, and Duskfall sat a little apart, brooding over his own feelings about this sign. Bluestar finally spoke up, "You all know what is expected of us by Starclan," she said solemnly. A faraway look entered her eyes, "The messenger will suffer, the sacrifice will endure, the roamer will choose, and in the end, three must become one." She turned toward the band of cats, "Ryewhisker of Windclan, Cloudberry of Riverclan, you must aid these warriors to the best of your ability."

    With one final hiss, Ryewhisker leapt away, fading into darkness. Cloudberry dipped her head, stepping back and disappearing behind the waterfall. Duststar and Emberstar glanced at each other, some message flitting between them. Then both nodded toward Bluestar and Duskfall before padding away to other parts of Starclan's territory.

    "Bluestar," Duskfall prompted, "I'm still not sure why I was called to this meeting. I know I was connected to the first Windclan leader, but still...,"

    "Duskfall, you know that past clan cats can sometimes be born again in spirit. Their aura can mingle and merge with that of a new clan cat. I thought you should meet her, the Windclan cat from the prophecy. I feel you will be a good aid to her."
