==Chapter description==
:A StarClan cat tells the reader to wait until the stars appear and asks if they whisper of secret places. The cat asks the reader to go into the clearing of Fourtrees, and introduces himself as Lionheart, who died defending ThunderClan. He tells the reader that they are dreaming, and from StarClan, he can watch the living Clans. Lionheart says that the saddest moments are when kits join StarClan. StarClan can sometimes sense the destiny of cats, especially leaders. However, StarClan cannot change events, and Lionheart wishes that he could prevent the dog pack or the fire that burned ThunderClan's territory, but all they can do is warn living cats with signs. Those with a strong connection to StarClan usually become medicine cats, as they are trusted to know the meaning of omens and signs. There are also sacred locations that are in both the living world and StarClan, such as the Moonstone or the Moonpool. He continues that he understands the other Clans better now, even cats he fought. Those who cause suffering in their lives, such as Tigerstar and Brokenstar, wander alone in a strange forest.
:Lionheart continues that StarClan is not the only place where cats walk. The Tribe of Rushing Water has their own ancestors, and when the six cats were on their quest, they could not be seen clearly by StarClan. On the journey to the lake, they had trouble communicating with the Clans, and StarClan also had to travel. Lionheart asks if the reader is wondering how they can be at Fourtrees if it is already destroyed. He explains that Fourtrees will always be a part of StarClan and tells the reader to return to their den, and thanks them for visiting StarClan.

:Snowfur introduces herself as a warrior who was killed by a monster when chasing ShadowClan intruders. She also mourned, but because she wished she could live to see Whitestorm become a warrior. Snowfur says that she later learned about her sister, Bluefur, having kits with Oakheart, the RiverClan deputy. StarClan is gathered at Fourtrees, and Snowfur says that many cats are starving in the leaf-bare. Brambleberry mews that a half-Clan kit is joining StarClan, but she says that the kit is innocent. Moonflower hisses that it is Bluefur's fault, and she is now dragging her kits with her. A spirit meows that the kits will be safer in RiverClan, but Moonflower argues that if the kits were kept in ThunderClan, all of them may have survived. Owlstar murmurs that if Bluefur kept the kits, Thistleclaw will become deputy. Moonflower growls that Mosskit died because Thistleclaw becoming deputy might lead to a bloody future, but it may make him a better cat. Brambleberry meows that Bluefur is doing what she thinks is right, but Moonflower is still angry. She continues that StarClan should still make sure Mosskit is protected, and Snowfur volunteers to do so.
:Snowfur slips away and goes to Sunningrocks. She finds Bluefur with her three gray kits, and Mistykit and Stonekit are moving, but Mosskit is not. Bluefur desperately nudges the kit and asks what she has done to him. The gray she-cat desperately meows to Mosskit that there is safety on the other side of the river, and it is only a little further. Snowfur's heart aches, and she whispers for Mosskit to wake up. The kit asks who she is, and she answers that she is here to take care of him. Mosskit follows Snowfur, and protests that it is cold. She answers that it will be warm soon, and meows that Bluefur will be alright. He says that he wants to be with his siblings, and Snowfur promises that he will be able to see them.
