==Chapter description==
======
:Cedarheart asks if the two kittypet's curiosities have been satisfied with the stories they have heard thus far. However, Cedarheart warns that while battles can be thrilling, they can have lasting consequences. Lives can be changed forever. Before he takes them back to Onestar, Cedarheart has one final story. Long ago, there used to be a fifth Clan called SkyClan. After moons of bloodshed between ThunderClan and SkyClan, Darkstar, the leader of SkyClan, decided to give ThunderClan a portion of their territory, much to the horror of his Clanmates. Once Twolegs began to destroy their territory, Cloudstar decided to fight to regain that territory from ThunderClan.
======
:ThunderClan won the fight, and Redstar declares their victory over SkyClan. Kestrelwing, the medicine cat, calls for the injured to come to his den. Most of the warriors stay in the camp clearing to excitedly discuss the fight. Two kits clamber over Nettleclaw to ask about the battle. The deputy Seedpelt congratulates Redstar on his success. Redstar's brother, Amberclaw, also compliments Redstar about the fight, and Seedpelt and Amberclaw discuss SkyClan's lackluster battle strategy. Kestrelwing asks to treat Redstar's wounds, but the ThunderClan leader brushes him off. As nightfall approaches, Silverpelt glows magnificently, and Redstar and Kestrelwing interpret it as StarClan's approval of their victory.
======
:Cloudstar apologizes to his Clan that they lost the battle. His pregnant mate Birdflight states that they had to win this battle, to which Cloudstar snaps at her and apologizes. He orders his deputy Buzzardtail to see Fawnstep for his injuries. Cloudstar addresses his defeated Clan and insists that ThunderClan won because they fought harder. He knows that they will one day reclaim their territory. As the Clan cheers, Cloudstar visits Fawnstep's den to address his wounds, vowing to spend that night planning new strategies. Near dawn, Fawnstep frantically wakes up Cloudstar. The SkyClan leader asks if Birdflight is kitting, but Fawnstep insists that the queen is fine. Fawnstep reveals that she had a dream of the future: SkyClan was forced to leave the forest after the Twolegs took everything. Cloudstar initially believes her dream is absurd but he soon realizes the truth in her words. Fawnstep admits that they should not have lost that battle.
