Brambleclaw trudged through the mud, hoping he would meet the other deputies soon... He was at the shores of the lake, yawning… He'd been there for an hour now, and he was eager to have a chat with the deputies about the clans- since the gathering had been canceled when lightning struck the tree-bridge, it was up to deputies to exchange information.
He had nothing to report, but he wanted to see about the other clans… It was raining now, pouring hard onto his fur, soaking it… Suddenly there was a bright flash of lightning, and Brambleclaw, stunned, crashed into the lake.
Waves knocked him backwards, sucking him a couple yards from the shore… He plummeted into the water, desperately trying to get to the surface. Then he drifted into a small underwater tunnel. He was now spinning through the water filled tunnel, which seemed to drag into the ground. Finally he crashed onto some earth, safely.
That's when he saw them. Billions of flashing lights on screens… Little screens attached to sharp oval things with points… giant screens attached to the wall! Big screens attached to the white boxes on planks… and medium screens on the chair-thing he'd seen at twoleg houses… What was all this?
