Chapter Summary
Third-person PoV
- Leafpool introduces the story by saying that the Clans take it for granted that each Clan lives in the territory best suited to provide food for its particular hunting skills. The brown tabby also says that this code is needed. She then begins to tell the story of a Gathering that has gone erupt.
- Stonetail, now Stonestar, stands on the Great Rock as Whitestar, Emberstar, Birchstar, and the newly appointed Brindlestar join him. Emberstar tries to talk, but Brindlestar inturrupts, challenging Whitestar and ThunderClan. Whitestar hisses, saying that they aren't the ones stealing prey, and Brindlestar shouldn't complain that his patrols drive her out every time. Brindlestar replies, snapping that they aren't stealing, and then inquires what her Clan is supposed to eat if they cannot salvage any prey in their own home. This leads Birchstar to point out that each Clan lives where they are best suited. Vinetail, Whitestar's deputy, asks when ShadowClan began hunting in undergrowth, and Lakestorm, Brindlestar's deputy, responds that they did when they started starving. Stonestar meows ShadowClan should keep to their own prey, because no Clan has surplus amounts of prey, especially during leaf-bare.
- Lakestorm asks what are they supposed to eat if they can only keep to their own prey, and as his voice cuts through the air, a creaking sound begins. Cats huddle in the Clans, afraid to run. A branch breaks off from one of the great oaks and drops onto the cats, sending snowflakes into the air. The WindClan tom watches, horrified as cats vanish in a swirling mass of white and twigs. Birchstar calls out for her Clanmates, asking if SkyClan is all right. Whitestar and Brindlestar join her, yowling into the snow cloud. The ThunderClan leader pushes through the others and orders them to go one at a time or else nobody can hear them. Birchstar goes first, calling out for SkyClan. Rainsplash's head pops out, and confirms that every SkyClan cat is here. Stonestar goes next. Looking down, the ground seems far from the rock, and asks if WindClan is all here. His deputy, Mudpuddle reports that they're all here. Emberstar realizes that RiverClan is too far from the branch to be hit, which leaves ThunderClan and ShadowClan.
- Brindlestar walks to the edge of the Great Rock, and asks if ShadowClan is fine. Heartbeats of silence pass, until the plop of snow and Lakestorm's voice breaks it. He pushes his way out and tells his leader they are all fine. After getting himself out, he helps his Clanmates out. The ShadowClan leader checks out her patrol, and after a moment confirms their safety. Now it is Whitestar's turn to see if his Clan is all right. Stonestar holds his breath; there is no way the branch didn't crush a couple of cats. It was big, heavy, and carved a huge slice through the clearing. Before Whitestar can speak, his deputy wriggles out and tells the leader they're fine. The other ThunderClan cats tumble out, shaking snow off their pelts. The ThunderClan tom is shocked, and whispers the branch fell on top of ThunderClan and ShadowClan. There was no room between the two of them. Stonestar looks again at the gigantic branch, and then at the two groups of cats, proclaiming their luck.
- He announces it's a sign from StarClan, loud enough for his leaders, but not for the cats below. They're telling them even when cats are close, they are separate enough for a tree to fall without harming anyone. Borders may be invisible, but they are strong and cannot be crossed for anything. Whitestar agrees, and Brindlestar stares at her cats in disbelief. All are dazed, but none are harmed. She then looks at the branch, and meows StarClan spared her cats for a reason. Stonestar urges her to find food in her territory, and to use the skills they only have: cunning, stealth, and the ability to walk through the darkest nights. Prey is there, and ShadowClan is the only one that can find it. Brindlestar agrees, and says StarClan does not wish her to take inferior food from inferior Clans. Whitestar wisely does not respond.
- Emberstar announces it is decided. A new rule has been added to the warrior code. They must not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. The other leaders agree in unison. As they walk back to their camp, they tell each other may StarClan light their paths.
- Leafpool says not all cats obey the code. When there are young cats and rules to break, there will be some mischief.
- White-eye yelps that Dappletail is stepping on her foot, and the tortoiseshell apologizes, saying she thought it was a pebble. The gray she-cat asks since when do pebbles have fur. Starlight shines in her remaining eye as she turns; the other had been clawed out as a badger when she was an apprentice, blinding her. Dappletail pads up next to her, on the side her friend can see, and inquires if they're at the river yet. White-eye happily responds yes, and motions for her too look. The ground ahead of them is covered with gray stones, and thick black water is at the end of the slope. It is moving swiftly and reflecting the twinkle of the stars. Shrinking back, the tortoiseshell meows that it's kind of scary during nighttime. Her Clanmate nudges her and assures they'll be fine.
- Dappletail tells herself they're never going back to camp. This is the biggest adventure she—or any other ThunderClan cat for that matter—ever had. They didn't need to steal RiverClan's prey, because with greenleaf in the forest, birds and squirrels are abundant.

Dappletail argues they must, otherwise they would be tired. The gray she-cat replies some of them are probably awake and wriggles forward until her front legs are over the water.
- The tortoiseshell eyes the gray warrior suspiciously and asks if that's how RiverClan cats catch fish, because White-eye looks like she's about to fall in.
