Silentstar looked up at his deputies horror-struck face as she watched the ancient cat fade away. "You will make a fine leader, Lightningpelt. I trust you, StarClan trusts you. Know that your birth has nothing to do with your new position. As you know I am on my last life. Black-cough is about to take me, and I am sure the other cats will accept you."
Lightningpelt bent down and licked Silentstar's cheek. "I will do my best. You will always be honored as a great leader, and nocat will ever forget you. For you were one of the cats who brought us here. Silentstar, can you tell me of ShadowClan's secret? It may be needed if something horrible happens to the forest."
Silentstar nodded weakly. "I know not the full of it, and even if I did, I would not tell you. But to find the secret..." Silentstar leaned up and whispered something in his deputy's ear, as Lightningpelt's jaw slowly dropped.
"Only use it in a time of great need, as it can be used to wreak great destruction, or create an unbeatable force to save us all. Who knows, ShadowClan may still be thriving, with RiverClan, ThunderClan, and WindClan."
With those last words, the death rattle escaped the first ColdClan leader's lungs, mingling with his last breath.
Lightningpelt bent down to share tongues with her desceased leader for the last time. The interlocking words of a riddle rang throughout her head as she padded sadly and bewildered from the ColdClan Leader's den, to address her Clan.
