CHAPTER 27
It was the time before dawn when the moon had set, but the sun had yet to streak1 the horizon with milky2 fingers of light. The night was still and cold, black like frozen water.

Pausing to drink in the night air filled with the scents7 of so many familiar cats, Firestar felt every hair on his pelt6 stand up. This could be the last morning he would ever spend in camp. It could be the last morning for any Clan8. He felt as if everything were spinning out of his control, but when he looked for strength in the knowledge that StarClan controlled his fate, he found only uncertainty9.

“You can have all the apprentices10,” Firestar meowed. “Fernpaw, will you go and tell them?”
The young she-cat dipped her head and hurried off.
“Once we get there, the other apprentices will be needed to fight,” Firestar went on. “But Fernpaw can stay with you. Find somewhere well out of the way. I think there’s a sheltered hollow on the other side of the stream—”
