Eclipsestar ran through the trees, the hollow was coming into sight. The rim of the hollow was near, and she barely managed to leap before she hit the rim. Her paws scrabbled on air as she leaped for her branch on The Great Tree. She hit the branch, barely managing to hook her claws on it, she scrambled up. She reached the top just as Frostclaw burst from the treeline.

"Ha! I beat you!" Eclipsestar growled at Frostclaw.

Eclipsestar leaped down into the hollow, she padded over to The Great Tree, it was a sacred place and the moon shone brightly down onto the gigantic tree. Eclipsestar leaped up into the sturdy branches of The Great Tree, she looked down at the cats below, Frostclaw trotted over to his place on the rock under The Great Tree, Eclipsestar tilted her head up to look at the full moon, it shone brightly tonight, as it should. So far all was calm, every so often Eclipsestar would hear a low growl or a sharp hiss, but overall it was a still night. She cleared her throat before she began.

"Thank you Eclipsestar. Leaf-Bare is harsh this year, and one of our elders has already fallen ill. Luckily we have found a new source of prey that we hope will last us the rest of Leaf-Bare!" Goldenstar announced.

"We have found a big twoleg den in the city near our territory, the twolegs call it a 'Hotel'. Anyways the twolegs there are very friendly towards cats, they leave out food for us. This way we will have enough to eat this Leaf-Bare, and it's all thanks to our apprentice, Brackenpaw!" Goldenstar meowed happily.

"Rowr!"
"Rowr!"
Claws slashed across Eclipsestar's face, she screeched out in pain, and fury. Rearing up onto her hind legs, her claws scraped the air as she flailed around, trying to snag her attacker. Blood blinded her, and she missed the enemy cat.

Once everyone was ready she lead them away into the night-black forest, with only the moon to guide them. Eclipsestar darted through the trees, making sure to keep the others close behind. As they neared the rim of the hollow Eclipsestar prepared to jump. She broke through the tree line, her hind paws pounded the ground as she leaped for her branch on the Great Tree. Her claws scraped the bark as she hit the rough surface of the branch.

"TOCA has been faring well in the cold season of Blood-Soak. We have began the Bonfire of Ages, and are keeping warm in the caves. Prey is unfortunately scarce, luckily we stored away prey in the caves during Sun-Blaze. All cats are welcome to come to TOCA with any prey you would like roasted!" Eclipsestar yowled, a grin on her face. The cats below would have been wary of her offer if they had not known the kitten in Eclipsestar.

"Would you all shut up! This is a gathering! My sister is offering you free food! We have CAVES, and CAVES, filled with prey! We can't possibly eat it all! And if we do the prey of Bud-Light will out run us!" As Dragonpaw hissed his mind out to the cats they all fell silent.
