Chapter One

Storm Flash looked down on his Clan, for a moment wishing that he could rejoin the living and help them survive.

"You shouldn't agonize over them. Our Clans are strong and I have no doubt we will survive." Brook Flow meowed, padding up to her littermate and sitting down beside him. Storm Flash sighed and nodded, turning his gaze away from the Pool of Seeing.

"I know but I can't help but worry over them. I wonder if now is the time for me to be reborn again?" Storm Flash asked, seeking help from her.

"The thought is tempting, I know but we cannot interfere. Now is not our time to live again, our time will come but you and I both know the events unfolding down with the living can not be helped by us. We must remain up here to support our Clans through their trusted medicine cats. Our paws do not belong on the earth until this path young Fiercepaw has begun to walk down is finished." Brook Flow reminded him, gentle wisdom in her startling amber-gold eyes.

"I know and yet-" Storm Flash sighed, leaning onto her shoulder. "-and yet I wish that I could go down there and help guide my young Clanmate onto the right path. There are some days when I know Fiercepaw can battle the darkness taking root and growing within her heart with the love and support of her friends and then there are these days-" He looked down on the young she-cat wandering the woods aimlessly, a lost look in her dull silver eyes. "-then there are these days that all I can feel is deep dread for the future of StormClan." He finished.

"She has a strength of will rarely seen in a cat so young. Have faith in young Fiercepaw. The darkness will not always win." Brook Flow meowed, smiling down at the Pool of Seeing. "Not all hope is gone yet, Storm Flash. This young cat has been searching for prey for her Clan with hardly any rest, she mourned the death of four Clanmates, she supports and consults with her young medicine cat apprentice...not all hope is lost yet. I have not seen a Dark cat mourn so easily for those that are fallen."

"Yes, I have noticed that Fiercepaw feels very deeply. That is why I worry for her. The loss of Silverkit should never have happened and never like that. The darkness in her began when he was ripped from her life by a fox and yet- she does not have a vendetta against foxes. She holds hate and darkness into her heart for MoonClan and I can't help but wonder if this cat from my Clan will be responsible for the destruction of another Clan, just as Swoopflight, a kit mixed from NightClan and PureClan was. Swoopflight allowed the darkness into his heart when he abandoned NightClan, the Clan that raised him and loved him, in favor of joining PureClan with the intention of destroying it. All because his mother made a mistake but sought to fix it by giving him to his father in NightClan." Storm Flash looked over at Brook Flow, who was listening silently.

"If Fiercepaw continues to hate MoonClan the way she is, then Fiercepaw will bring destruction down upon MoonClan in a way that will destroy that Clan forever, just as PureClan is destroyed. How can I sit by and allow that to happen, knowing that I could possibly do something to prevent that?" Storm Flash meowed.

"You and I have investigated the situation with the rogues. The descendent of Swoopflight is the leader of the rogues and he has set a plan in motion that at first glance, looks like it could be the downfall of the Clans but what if it could be the rising of the Clans? Swoopflight told his son, who told his son, who told his son and so on down to this rogue that calls himself 'Crimsonstar' that the Clans are corrupt and so he seeks to destroy the Clans and then rebuild them in his image. If Fiercepaw is following in the Dark pawsteps of Swoopflight then perhaps we should set her on the trail of catching Crimsonstar, Swoopflight's descendant." Brook Flow suggested.

"What purpose would that serve though?" Storm Flash meowed anxiously.

"If Fiercepaw discovers that a rogue with the blood of two Clans flowing through his veins as it is with her has declared war on the Clans, it could force her to take a hard look at her own hatred towards MoonClan. All we need to do is make sure that Fiercepaw learns of the rogues and their plot that will be carried out on the next Gathering night. Once Fiercepaw goes on the journey, she will learn along the way of who Crimsonstar is and why he is so determined to destroy the Clans. It could be enough to shake her out of her hatred towards MoonClan." Brook Flow explained.

"Yes...that could work but I don't want to single her out. If we single Fiercepaw out then that could bring more attention to her from MoonClan and that would surely tip her over the edge." Storm Flash meowed.

"Then we will tell our plan to Breeze Hunter, Night Shadow, Moon Shine and Pure Fur so that they can send dreams to their Clan about the threat the rogues present and which cats should journey to try and stop them." Brook Flow meowed and stood.

"Why Pure Fur?" Storm Flash asked curiously.

"Pure Fur can send dreams to Crimsonstar to unsettle him. A cat unsettled is a cat that become more driven but that drive will not allow for things like sleeping and eating which will make Crimsonstar easier to defeat." Brook Flow explained, rolling her eyes at her littermate's back.

"I saw that." Storm Flash called without looking back. "-and that is an excellent plan. Fiercepaw will have her paws set on the right path in no time." The two littermates continued on, hope for the future of the Clans bright in their hearts.
