"Moonbriar, I suggest you deliberate over your decision." The oldest of the thubderclan cat, Scorchfoot said as he crossed his arms. "Please don't leave, Moonbriar." The youngest one, Webflower pleaded, tugging on Moonbriar's sleeve. "We've been together for more than 10 years. How can you leave do suddenly?" The cat considered the most intelligent in the clan, Shadestripe, said as she adjusted her glasses. "You sure you will not regret it? Today's the young princess' coronation day. It ought to be the day we need you the most. There are too many dangers and the security has to be tight." The one considered to be the most rude but honest in the clan, Moletail, who was a cat with fur deep black as the night sky, said as she reminded everyone of the importance of the day.

The young princess had come to age and today was her coronation ceremony. In this era, there were not many queens but kingdoms were mostly ruled by kings. The princess had a brother who was banished not only from the palace but the city as well due to the incident in which he tried to kill the young princess as a child. Since then, the princess had trained hard everyday with the thubderclan cats for this very day.

"I'm sorry, but my decision is firm and absolutely. I shall leave and the day should be today. Please send my regards to the princess." saying that, Moonbriar left and no one tried to stop him again because they knew the best how stubborn Moonbriar is once he decides something. Little did Moonbriar know that he would regret this decision for the rest of his life.

It was the night after the coronation of the princess who was now officially the queen of the state. This was also the night when the calamity happened. The night in which the palace was attacked.

Two Years Later

Moonbriar stood in front of the once mighty looking palace which was spread over hundreds of kilometres but now was just a load of rubble. Body shocked to his very fingertips, his mind froze, wondering over what happened to the place he once called home? For a few minutes, he stood there before eventually moving and asking a passerby as to what on Earth happened here? The passerby told him about the tragedy that happened two years ago on the very day of the young princess' coronation.

The night when everyone inside the palace including the queen and her loyal thubderclan were killed ruthlessly by the prince who was banished.
