==Chapter description==
======
:Dapplenose of RiverClan greets Onestar and the two kittypets to the Gathering. The RiverClan elder is surprised to see kittypets on the island, but Dapplenose introduces them to the other elders: Pouncetail, Cedarheart, Tallpoppy, Snaketail, and Mousefur. The mottled gray she-cat recalls how her last battle was when all four Clans fought on ThunderClan's territory, and her denmate Pouncetail has a story from that battle. Dapplenose mentions that Nightwhisper might have a chilly tale to tell, and Graystripe has an interesting story from when all four Clans fought as one.
======
:During the battle, RiverClan fought alongside WindClan against ThunderClan and ShadowClan. Blackclaw leads the battle patrol to the abandoned Twoleg nest to prepare their ambush. ShadowClan warriors are already inside, and the RiverClan patrol launches a surprise attack. Pouncetail attacks Whitetail and Antpelt, and the rest of the ShadowClan patrol quickly flees from the Twoleg nest. Pouncetail is pleased that they have secured the Twoleg nest for RiverClan, but suddenly his Clanmates let out a yowl. There is one ShadowClan warrior left, hiding in the corner and streaked with dirt. Dawnflower calls him a coward, and Reedwhisker leaves him for Pouncetail to finish off. Pouncetail recognizes the younger cat as Spiderfoot, who was recently made a warrior. The ginger-and-white tom orders Spiderfoot up a wooden beam, and Spiderfoot and Pouncetail's Clanmates believe he is going to push him off. However, Pouncetail says that Spiderfoot can leave but to never underestimate RiverClan. After Spiderfoot quickly flees, Blackclaw remarks how Pouncetail should have taught him a lesson, but Pouncetail insists that the warrior code says they do not need to kill their enemies to achieve victory. The RiverClan warrior urges his Clanmates forward to resume the war.

:Nightwhisper explains how he was born in the Twolegplace next to the old forest, though his littermates had either died or moved on by the time he was full-grown. Mowgli was left to fight for his own food and steal from others. He met some ShadowClan exiles who were chased from their Clan for breaking the warrior code, and Mowgli envied their former lives. One day, Tigerclaw arrives to the Twolegplace, asking for help to defeat his former Clan with the promise of being his deputy if someone killed Fireheart. Sensing an opportunity to become a Clan cat, Mowgli accepts Tigerclaw's offer and participates in the raid on ThunderClan's camp. He spots Fireheart's orange pelt and immediately attacks, intent on killing him. However, Mowgli is attacked by a younger apprentice and is forced to flee. He's terrified that ThunderClan's warriors would hunt him down, but one of the exiled ShadowClan cats provides him with prey to recover from his injuries. Tigerclaw later finds Mowgli and recruits him into his group of exiles, eventually joining ShadowClan as Nightwhisper. While his paws are stained with blood, Nightwhisper is grateful to have joined the Clans and serve as a warrior.
======
:Graystripe tells a story from when he was temporary leader in the old forest when Firestar and Sandstorm were gone. A pack of foxes had made their dens at Fourtrees, forcing the Clans to gather at Snakerocks for Gatherings. Graystripe proposes fighting back utilizing each of the Clan's unique strengths to their advantage. With all Clans in agreement, the plan is put into motion. Cloudtail picks up the foxes' scents during their night time hunts. When they find the foxes, Mousefur lures the foxes away with a dead rabbit, hoping to trick them with bait. Near a copse of trees on the WindClan border, Blackstar leads an ambush from the shadows towards the river. Mistyfoot and her warriors meet them at the shore, chasing them back to Fourtrees. Meanwhile, tunnelers from WindClan corner the fox cubs out from their dens into the clearing. With the cubs held hostage, the adult foxes surrender. The patrol lets them reunite with their cubs before the foxes leave Fourtrees. The Clan cats cheer from their victory, and Fourtrees belonged to the Clans once again.

==Trivia==
*"Nightwhisper Speaks: A Rogue's Story" aligns with chapter 27 of Forest of Secrets.
==Errors==
*Whitetail and Antpelt are mistakenly described as ShadowClan warriors.
*Brokentail is described as a black tom.
*Tigerclaw is stated to have yowled "ThunderClan! Enemies! Attack!" when it was Fireheart in Forest of Secrets.
*Nightwhisper states that when he was recruited by Tigerclaw to help take over ShadowClan, he didn't know if Tigerclaw remembered him from the failed attempt to take over ThunderClan, but went anyway. This is contradicted by Tigerclaw's Fury, where Tigerclaw enters the Twolegplace specifically to look for him after noticing him absent from the others, and recognizes him when they meet.
