The voice continued with its rather long and horrendous speech.
"The Forest Clans will find you and help. They will bring you to where they reside. Look for the bright orange cat."
'Bright orange! Bright orange! Bright orange! Remember that Dawnpaw!' Dawnpaw yelled at herself internally.
"When will they come? How many cats will there be?" Dawnpaw fired out her questions.
"You'll see," The voice replied.
'That's not very helpful,' Dawnpaw thought. 'Is it going to be one cat or the whole clan?! Does that make m the leader of MythClan now?!' Danwpaw's thought were going in every which direction, up and down, left and right.
Dawnpaw started her journey to the Great Rock to see if all of the other new leaders would be there.
~~''::''~~
Finally making it to the tunnels where the Great rock sat, Dawnpaw heard paw steps and a voice shout out, "Who's there?"
"It's Shadepaw of SmokeClan and Ravenpaw of GhostClan," said a voice that sounded like a tom.
"And Dawnpaw of MythClan!" Dawnpaw yelled out and rushed to catch up to the two toms in front of her by a couple of fox-lengths. The three cats emerged from the entrance to the tunnels that lead to a large cave with a skylight in the roof, large enough to fit all of the clans.
There was Ravenpaw, whom she had met briefly at a Gathering, and two others she didn't know. A smokey gray tom and a white, short-haired she-cat.
"What's going on?" Ravenpaw burst. "Did the same thing happen to you guys in your camps? Everyone faded like a SpiritClan cat?" Dawnpaw nodded.
"Come join me on the Great Rock, we are leaders now. I am Snowpaw of IceClan" The white she-cat, whom Dawnpaw had never met motioned to the three cats with her tail. Shadepaw hopped up without hesitating. He was bigger than Snowpaw and had long fur. Dawnpaw was next. She also had long fur. Ravenpaw was a bit bigger than Dawnpaw but smaller than Shadepaw. He jumped on the rock and situated himself between Dawnpaw and Snowpaw.
"How are we going to fix this?" Snowpaw started. "Everything has gone to runes." No one spoke for a second.
"We lead," Shadepaw stated in a monotone voice. "I can't believe I'm saying it, but we have kittypets and loners around the mountains that could join up with us."
"I know where some Twolegs' nests are," Dawnpaw piped up. "There's bound to be a kittypet in one of them."
"And loners are roaming around here all the time. A patrol from GhostClan found a couple hunting on their territory once. My brother told me all about it." Ravenpaw stiffened at the mention of Crowpaw.
Snowpaw opened her mouth to say something. "We have to wait for the Forest Clans too. We can recruit a couple of cats that want to come with us and then we can move down to the forest." Everyone nodded in agreement before the whole conversation turned to silence.
"We are not 'paws anymore," Shadepaw said, out of the blue. "We are leaders. We are 'stars now."
