==Chapter description==
======
:Raincloud watches as Vinestar helps Darkstar, the very frail leader of SkyClan, up on the Great Rock for the Gathering. Raincloud, his deputy, dreads the day that he loses his final life. Talonstar of RiverClan reports dogs straying from the greenleaf Twolegplace, Birchstar of WindClan announces a new litter of kits and new warriors, and Yellowstar of ShadowClan mentions a fox causing them some trouble. Vinestar announces that ThunderClan has three new litters of kits and four new warriors, and Raincloud recalls how ThunderClan has been seen trespassing on their territory, perhaps to feed their growing numbers. 
:After some prodding, Darkstar declares that he is giving a portion of SkyClan territory to ThunderClan so they can feed their new kits. Raincloud jumps on the Great Rock and questions Darkstar's decision, since he is providing ThunderClan with a quarter of their territory. Darkstar apologizes for his deputy's insolence and promises Vinestar that their new borders will be marked tomorrow. Before Raincloud can jump off the Great Rock, Darkstar proposes a new law to the warrior code: a leader's word can never be challenged since they are chosen by StarClan. Raincloud is shocked by his proposition, but the other leaders readily agree to the new ruling. After the Gathering, Darkstar tells Raincloud that she may continue to serve as his deputy but to never challenge him again. Raincloud fears that sort of consequences this new law will lead to, but StarClan remains silent.

:Cloudstar, the leader of SkyClan following their exile, wonders about his decision to lead his Clan to the gorge. While he is grateful that SkyClan has finally found a place to call home, Cloudstar is tired. The new territory is strange, and he misses Birdflight. His Clanmates look to him for guidance per the warrior code in this unfamiliar territory with strange stars. He vows that his Clan will learn to hunt and defend their borders without StarClan, and SkyClan will always survive.
