This story takes place directly after the events of "A Dangerous Path" but with minor alterations to the original story. Think of this FanFiction as a paralleled universe to the original arc. Like, if certain events didn't transpire, or if they had, this could be a possible result.
Alterations to note:
Tigerstar is NOT the leader of ShadowClan, however, he is exiled
Nightstar and Cinderfur did NOT die of the unknown deadly disease
Bramblepaw and Tawnypaw are still KITS by the time that Bluestar dies
Graystripe has not left his kits yet, so he still resides in RiverClan
This story contains BOTH cannon cats as well as original characters
…okay so maybe those are a lot of alterations… oops.
