Dawnstar awoke to find Snowstorm nudging her with her paw.

“So, what did you see?! You were so nervous last night that you ran the whole way back to camp and went to sleep immediately."

Dawnstar sat up and yawned, tired from the long night she had.

“I spoke with Fallenpaw. He told me about a prophecy.”

Snowstorm bounced on her paws at the news.

“What was it?”

Dawnstar closed her eyes and recited the message.

“In an age of strife, when shadows mingle with light, dawn will become dusk and day will become night.”

Snowstorm looked at Dawnstar with curiosity, “Any idea on it’s meaning?”

Dawnstar flicked her ear in disappointment.

“Fallenpaw didn’t tell you the prophecy? He said he spoke to you-”

Snowstorm cut Dawnstar off with a glare.

“Yes he told me mousebrain! I’m just wondering if you had a different interpretation of it then I did.”

Dawnstar winced at her sister’s harsh tone.

“Sorry, I’m just so worried that it means Fireclan will go through difficult times it may not survive.”

Snowstorm nodded in response.

“I’m sorry for snapping at you, and I’m sure that if Fireclan happens to go through bad times, I believe we’ll overcome them, just like we did with the Ghosts and the Rogues.”

Dawnstar smiled and padded out of the den, making her way towards High Rock. As she sat still, soaking up the sun’s warmth, Dawnstar heard a screech of fear.

Leaping to her paws, Dawnstar watched the camp entrance explode into motion as five cats came running through camp.

A white and gray cat leading the group.

“Clearstar, what’s wrong? Why are you here?!”

Clearstar stopped running and was gasping for breath, trying to explain what happened.

“Large. dogs. attacked us. We barely. escaped. with our lives”

Dawnstar gasped in horror when she saw Clearstar’s wounds.

“SNOWSTORM, NOVA, come here quickly!” Snowstorm came running out of the den, Nova passing her easily.

“Take them to the medicine den and treat their wounds. I’ll speak with Clearstar after.”

Clearstar looked up at Dawnstar and moaned.

“No, you must save my clan. The two dogs killed Cavekit first so my clanmates climbed up into the trees after he was killed.”

Dawnstar nodded and looked down at her clanmates.

“Frostfang, Nightshade, Honeydew, Foxtail, Ivyshine, Ambermoon, and Mistyrain, come with me. Copperfang, Huata, I want you two to split up and get help from Breezestar and Stormstar!”

Copperfang and Huata pelted out of camp, each running in separate directions to retrieve the other clans.

Dawnstar jumped off of High Rock and ran straight towards the camp entrance. The battle patrol quickly followed Dawnstar and rushed towards the Treeclan camp.

Dawnstar exploded through the Treeclan camp’s entrance. To her surprise the enemies she thought she would be fighting were completely different from what she thought.
