"He should be here any second," Russetfall told his mate as he nuzzled her cheek, water droplets falling from his damp fur. The calico leader purred toward her mate. It was just after noon patrol, and Firestar was attempting to get some rest before her dusk patrol. However, Russetfall had done her a great favor and gave Redscar, the clan's deputy, a message to meet her in her den and shelter from the storm. Firestar had spent sometime planning and re-thinking the clan's course of action to take the sunstones.

Leaders in the past any been quick to charge and over-power StoneClan, but at great cost to LightingClan cats. Firestar wanted to take the sunstones with the least amount of casualties. Careful planning would prevent the needless loss of life. Firestar was already thinking of taking a mostly warriors, leaving younger less experienced apprentices at camp. She also considered moving the more vulnerable members of the Clan to the tunnels in order to be safely hidden. Brightpool had talked quite a bit about those tunnels saying they were easily protected and well guarded from cats that didn't know the area well. Perhaps the odd white she-cat would be able to help with the over all protection time.

As she waited, Firestar watched the entrance to her den with half lidded eyes.
