Prologue:

Robinflight opened her eyes to find herself in a clearing full of thick, lush grass. There was a thick canopy of trees over her head and she could hear birds calling to one another. She immediately knew where she was. StarClan.

A handsome grey tom bounded over to her with warmth in his eyes, "Robinflight!"

"Greycloud! What news do you bring me?" she replied, cheerfully.

His face fell, "It's not good."

Suddenly, the ground was whirling beneath Robinflight's paws and Greycloud had disappeared. She tried to call for him, but no sound came out.

Then, she stopped spinning and the world came into focus. A white she-cat was playing with a golden tom, running around and leaping over logs. She tried to see their faces, but she couldn't.

Then it changed again, and the she-cat was giving birth. She was in a hollow tree, with only the golden tom for company. Robinflight watched her give birth to a dark brown tom and silvery she-cat.

It changed again, and the white she-cat was watching her kits having their warrior ceremony, but she wasn't congratulating them or even going up to them. Robinflight was confused, that's not how a mother should behave!

Then the dark tom was fighting, ripping out throats of innocent cats and scouring his claws down kits and elders. Robinflight was horrified, how could any cat do that?

Robinflight heard a murmuring in her ear: "Day and night shall come together and darkness will fall over FireClan, only the light of dawn can save you now."

"Greycloud?" she called, but there was no reply. All she could do was watch the dark cat rip out throat after throat...

Robinflight's eyes flew open. She quickly scrambled out of her nest, chest heaving and eyes wide. I have to see Longstar! she thought. She ran for the leafy tunnel that lead from the Medicine den to the clearing the clearing, stumbling over her sleeping apprentice.

"Whaa..." Redpaw fell out of her nest, "Robinflight, what are you doing?"

Ignoring the bewildered she-cat, Robinflight burst out into the clearing. Featherdawn was on guard, her creamy-white pelt glowing in the moonlight. She turned to look at Robinflight.

"Are you okay?" the she-cat asked, concerned for the young medicine cat.

Robinflight nodded distractedly and dashed into the Leader's den. She shouldered her way through the vines that covered the mouth of the cave. She could just make out her leader's form at the back of the cave, curled up in his nest.

"Longstar?" she whispered into the gloom.

The tabby tom uncurled himself and turned to look at her.

"Robinflight, what are you doing here? It's the middle of the night!" he meowed, crossly.

"I'm sorry, Longstar" she said apologetically, "but StarClan have sent me a prophecy."

Longstar looked shocked for a moment, before getting up and bounding over to her.

"What is it?" he asked, nervously.

Robinflight recited the prophecy to him.

There was silence for a few heartbeats.

"What does it mean?" Longstar asked.

"I don't know," Robinflight replied grimly, "but whatever it is, we must trust in the light of dawn."
