When Darkness Falls: Eagle's Story

Book One of the When series based off of Erin Hunters "Warriors"

Something is strange here....

Kin fighting Kin.
Friend turning on Friend.
Leaders pitted against their own warriors.

Long after the memory of Skyclan and the legend of Firestar has faded into nothing in the living, the warrior code seems to be changing and becoming more flawed and outrageously strict. A rumor is spreading that a newcomer has joined one of the four great clans; Thunderclan, Shadowclan, Windclan, or Riverclan. The other clans aren't happy, adding to their already unsettled lives.

¨You don't belong here...¨ An unfriendly looking speckled she-cat hissed in his ear as he passed. Trying to look unfazed, the large tom padded promptly with his escort. They were leading him to the leader's den.

¨Rogue!¨
¨Hide the kits!¨
¨I heard all loners are savages...¨

The many voices around him rang in his ears. Narrowing his gaze, and keeping his head low, they made their way to the den.

A tall, lean tom stood above him on a large stump on the far side of the camp he was being led to. His pelt had a long jagged scar from the corner of his jaw down to his belly. The tom looked at him with a gaze sharper than his own, like shards of frozen flames, they shone in the darkness.

¨Let the rogue come to me, it's about time I gave him a proper greeting....¨
