Closing her eyes, she heard the tom say, "The other Clans will show no pity. They'll devour SkyClan's territory like hungry foxes, and won't hesitate to drive you and your kits out if it means more land for them. You will have to leave them somewhere, but you cannot stay. You have an important role to play, Silentstar."

Silentstar muttered quietly, "No pity?... Take our territory away... Drive us out? I... Can't stay with my kits?"

Feeling the wind get harsher and the tom's mysterious words, she said, "W-wait! What does that mean?" Trying to resist the wind, Silentstar tried to walk towards the StarClan cats, but suddenly opened her eyes, in her own nest.

'No! I don't understand!' the leader thought before she thought over the ominous prophecy's words again...

"The skies have fallen, but they will rise again." Silentstar repeated the words over and over again before understanding.

'This just means... that SkyClan has fallen, but we will rise again and show the clans... that one day, we'll show them how strong we truly are.' she thought before heading out of her den to depart for new territories and to leave her kits with another clan.

She wouldn't dare leave them with ShadowClan - she didn't trust them. While ThunderClan had been nice to SkyClan during the Deomilities attack, Silentstar decided that it would seem too... weak to leave her kits there. SkyClan cats hate water, so RiverClan isn't a choice. That leaves WindClan.

Sighing, the leader rested her muzzle on her paws, stressed out, and hoping that the tom's prophecy will come true...

"StarClan, have mercy..."

Silentstar, walking through the moors of WindClan led Lavenderkit across the foreign territories. At first, she thought it would be better for her to take Lavenderkit with her to where the tom wanted her to go, but decided against it because it would be too dangerous. Besides... SkyClan may live on here through her kit. Drizzlekit had suddenly disappeared, and now Lavenderkit would be alone. The gentle breezes of the moor filled her ears with the light chirping of the birds from the forest. How she wished those times can come back when SkyClan flourished and everyone she loved and cared about were still with her. That was impossible. She can't go back to that. Pricking up her ears, she heard a small cough come out of Lavenderkit and the kit asked, "Mother... Where are we going?"

The words hit her hard. Sighing, she replied, "You're going to a place where you'll be nice and cozy with enough prey." Perhaps that would be true, perhaps it might not. It didn't really matter to her as long a Lavenderkit was safe.

"What about you? Are you staying with me?" Lavenderkit asked, hitting the leader with more questions. Striking her heart as if she had broken it, Silentstar lied to her daughter, "I'll always be there for you, no matter how far I am. Trust me."

Lavenderkit nodded, her eyes drowsy, before Silentstar looked around, her ears twitched as she tried to hear whether a cat was nearby or not. She smelled WindClan and hoped it would be someone friendly. Leaving her kit there and hushing her, the leader ran as fast as she could leaving her daughter wailing and crying for her to come back.

"I'm... Sorry Lavenderkit. I'll come back for you one day..."

A few moons had passed since Silentstar had left the forest, and everyday she's reminded of her daughter's pleas to come back. Drizzlekit had died back in the forest and now Lavenderkit, probably an apprentice by now, was far away from her. Being guided by Silentfeather, the StarClan cat through the world, the leader had wandered for so long, thinking she would never reach her destination. She remembered the day she had walked with her kits throughout SkyClan's territory, but now... All of that was gone. It was impossible to go back, besides she would never be able to go back to the forest - the clans would mock her for her choices. Then again, it wasn't her fault, a prophecy told her to leave, and in her mind, she had a feeling that WindClan and ShadowClan had taken the ancient territory of SkyClan. Of course ShadowClan of all clans would try and grab territory, but she felt that WindClan only grabbed it for the hopes of having Lavenderpaw feel at home.

As she continued to tread across the field, the leader stopped. What she saw in front of her was a beautiful forest that had such a bountiful amount of prey. A lake stretched gently in the middle of the forest; streams flowed through the roots of the trees; birds whistling their tunes; squirrels gathering acorns and nuts as they run from tree to tree; fish swimming as a small shadow through the glistening water; and the sun, emitting its warm rays onto the forest. Was this the end of her journey? Was it truly the place that was meant to be for SkyClan's new home? All she had to do was recruit cats who would be trustworthy and loyal as well as have a strong will and courage. As well as a few more traits here and there.

"The skies have fallen, but they will rise again... Silentstar mewed, remembering the tom's words. This was the last bit.

Silentfeather was actually amazed herself, though she never thought she would be able to go through with Silentstar. Nodding, the StarClan medicine cat vanished, going back to StarClan to join Coldheart, Larchcloud, Kestrelflight, and the others.

This was were SkyClan was to begin. They will rise again.

"Twopelt," a silky voice whispered from behind him. Quiet as a shadow, Elea had appeared behind him, and she wasn't alone. More cats, a whole army, a whole Clan, were tramping up beside her, pushing through the underbrush. "This isn't the time to hide in the dark. Now's your chance to step into the light. Follow us." Without another word, she moved forward, and charged down the slope into the clearing. The other cats followed at her heels.

Reedstar had been about to yowl to call the Gathering to a start when he saw them. His first thought was that ShadowClan had arrived at last, but... He bared his teeth and growled. Those weren't any cats he recognized. "Who are you?!" he demanded, his voice ringing through the clearing. Rogues? Memories of the Deomilites flashed through his mind. He knew where he'd seen that snowy white fur before, and those terrible eyes.

"The fifth Clan," she replied, pausing at the edge of the clearing. A silver tabby stepped forward. "And may I introduce..."

"Silverstorm," he finished for her. "Deputy of SkyClan and son of Silentstar."

The exile is over. SkyClan has returned.
