So many cats had drowned in the flood... Lightstep had hoped to never see another cat drown ever again, yet now, before newleaf had even come again, another life was taken. Every RiverClan cat knew that the ice could be treacherous during leaf-bare. As the strong-bodied RiverClan warrior made his way down towards the sandy hollow where the deceased cat would soon awaken, his white tail flicked thoughtfully, his pale yellow eyes dark with thought. If only Treepaw hadn't been alone, perhaps it could have been avoided. Lightstep would ensure the young tom wasn't alone now.
The white warrior emerged from some reeds and his eyes immediately fell upon Treepaw's pale shape, translucent but slowly growing in brightness and intensity until he appeared solid and glistening. Lightstep's eyes softened as the apprentice began to stir, and once Treepaw had cast a sweeping gaze around and called out, the StarClan warrior stepped forward. "That's correct, Treepaw," Lightstep told him gently. He pale yellow gaze was sympathetic. "Do you remember what happened?"
