"My Clanmates did not do what you claim you see them doing," Hailstar growled, sounding even more annoyed and impatient.
"Are you saying that my warriors can't tell that your warriors are attacking them?" Dawnstar retorted icily.
"We need to do something," Poolshine whispered to Frostblaze.
"But what?" Frostblaze asked.
"I know!" Lightningcurl mewed excitedly. "We can knock Dawnstar back into her senses!"
"Firstly, that will make WindClan attack," Frostblaze sighed. "Secondly, Dawnstar is not crazy."
"Well, I tried," Lightningcurl snapped.
"Maybe some cat could talk to them," Poolshine suggested.
"Sure," Lightningcurl began sarcastically, "let's stomp in between the two leaders and demand them to stop. Such a great idea."
Frostblazs rolled her eyes. "Poolshine is trying to help."
"I could talk to them," Blazestrike spoke up. "I have an idea on what to say to them."
"Are you sure you can do it?" Lightningcurl mewed, unconvinced. "One wrong word and we will find ourselves fighting WindClan."
"It might be the only way," Frostblaze pointed out.
"Fine," he grumbled. "Blazestrike, you better convince them. I don't fancy fighting for no reason."
Blazestrike walked slowly towards the two arguing leaders.
"Stop!" he yowled. "Listen to what I have to say!"
"Why should we take orders from a ThunderClan cat?" a young apprentice called out disdainfully.
"Spiderpaw, don't interrupt. He may have something interesting to say," Shadowclaw mewed with interest.
"What can the young ThunderClan warrior say that is so important to interrupt?" Dawnstar asked.
Frostblaze bristled at Dawnstar's thinly hidden insult. I am sure that Blazestrike could prove her wrong!
"I know I am a young warrior," Blazestrike acknowledged the WindClan leader's words. "But listen to what I have to say, to both Clans."
"Why are we even fighting? Why should we be fighting each other when there will be a battle that concerns all of us? We are wasting time, herbs and energy fighting the wrong enemy. The real enemy is the Dark Forest, not the other Clans. Why would ThunderClan attack WindClan when we would be training? Don't you all see?" he whipped around to face all the listening cats.
"The Dark Forest is probably behind this!" Blazestrike announced. "They probably did this to cause disorder, suspicion and mistrust among us. Without the support from the other Clans, we will all fall divided."
"What if your Clan is the one doing it?" Watertail challenged, lashing his tail.
Dawnstar didn't speak, only staring at Blazestrike with narrowed eyes.
"What Blazestrike said makes sense," Shadowclaw mewed.
"You can never trust ThunderClan," Heatherstorm growled darkly.
"Why can't all of you see what is in front of you?" Frostblaze hissed, leaping to her paws. "We either fight together or perish divided!"
"I agree," Rainfall mewed calmly over the protests of both Clans.
"Silence!" Dawnstar ordered. "I have made my decision."
The cats of both Clans waited tensely in silence as Dawnstar spoke. "WindClan will not attack for now. But if this happens again... WindClan will be at your camp, ready for you. WindClan, let's go."
As Dawnstar led her cats back into WindClan territory, Frostblaze heaved a sigh of relief.
Hopefully, this will not happen again.

Hailstar led the cats who were chosen for the Gathering towards Fourtrees. When ThunderClan arrived, Frostblaze realised that ShadowClan and WindClan were already there.
Hailstar and Dawnstar exchanged hostile glares while Littlestar looked impatient for the Gathering to start.
It wasn't long until RiverClan arrived. Frostblaze settled herself near Beetlefur. She spotted Clovermist talking to Bouncelight and she decided not to interrupt.
Is Brackenflame here? Frostblaze wondered.
She didn't spot the tabby anywhere in Fourtress so she guessed that Brackenflame wasn't chosen to come.
"I will start first," Breezestar mewed, jumping up the Great Rock.
"RiverClan have been training hard for battle, and the fish still runs well in our river," he began. "But there is a matter I wish to address to all Clans about."
"What is it?" Hailstar asked.
"Lately, my patrols have been attacked by cats from the other Clans, especially cats from ShadowClan," Breezestar spoke.
"ShadowClan did not do such a thing!" Littlestar snapped. "We are too busy training to attack your patrols."
"ThunderClan cats have ambushed our camp," Dawnstar growled.
"ThunderClan didn't do anything!" Hailstar yowled angrily.
"Stop! You are going to make StarClan angry!" Shimmerbreeze yowled.
"Clouds are beginning to cover the moon!" Foxspring mewed.
However, the leaders continued glaring and hissing at each other, their claws beginning to slide out.
StarClan, help us! Frostblaze begged silently.
The clouds did not move. The glittering stars only stared coldly at the furious leaders.
"That is enough!" Wolfstrike yowled. "You all should be ashamed of ourselves, fighting at the full moon truce!"
"Why are we even fighting?" Lilyflower asked.
"How can we fight with each other at a time like this?" Brightdawn spoke up.
The words of the three warriors silenced the leaders. They stared at each other wordlessly.
"ThunderClan, let's go," Hailstar ordered as the other leaders did the same.
Frostblaze simply stared at Silverpelt in shock. Is StarClan giving up on us?
