The solar apocalypse is coming. The sun nears the earth faster by the second while the clans are starting to panic. Wait, the solar apocalypse isn't coming, it's already here.

Bramblestar looked to Starclan desperately seeking answers. The clans have never before suffered so much of heat that clan cats started looking for homes underground. Mistystar on the other hand was glaring at Rowanstar and Onestar.

"Are we going to continue the gathering or not?" Hissed Mistystar.

"None of you will set paw on the remaining underground water beneath our clan." Onestar growled. The water from lakes, steams and pretty much all water sources have evaporated from sight.

"Water is what we dwell on! It is crucial to the whole of Riverclan's survival!" Mistystar protested.

Rowanstar looked furious. "Only Riverclan Needs water to survive? You've got to be kidding me Mistystar! For a wise leader like you I'd expect more sense from you! The prey is dried up, there is no food or water for the clans!"

"Well, my daughter Sunshade is expecting kits soon." Brambleclaw mewed. Squirrelflight puffed out her chest in pride for her daughter. A few cheers were made but nothing less.

Rowanstar flicked his tail signaling the end of the gathering and as the moon began to rise the clans breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever the moon was in sight the solar apocalypse would have no power.


Thunderclan had just stepped onto their territory when Dovewing and Ivypool met them with terrible news. "Bramblestar! Sunshade is having early kits but there's no herbs for her!" Dovewing wailed.

"Bring me to Sunshade!" Bramblestar demanded. "I hope she's okay..."

Shrieks and cries of pain erupted from the nursery. By the time Bramblestar reached his daughter, Squirrelflight was already crying over the bloody body. Two kits huddled next to Dovewing who already had her one kit with bumblestripe, Nightkit.

"These two kits are Sunshade's and my kits." Thornclaw whispered sadly.

Sunshade suddenly opened her eyes. "Maplekit, for the tawny colored she-cat."

Thornclaw instantly came to Sunshade's side relieved that she was alive. "And Azurekit for the blue she-cat?"

"Yes," Sunshade purred. "For her unique shade of blue fur. I have one request, teach them to fly." And those were her last words.
