Prologue

Lightpaw felt the wind in her fur. She walked on a moonlit path in a strange forest. She did not recognize the forest or anything in it. She couldn't smell anything. Lightpaw continued to walk forward, farther and farther into the forest. The forest became mistier and mistier until she was almost unable to see anything. 'Did I accidentally wander into the MistClan territory?' Lightpaw wondered out loud. She couldn't remember how she got here.

Lightpaw heard faint voices of cats. 'Hello?' Lightpaw asked, 'Is someone there?' She walked towards the voices. Suddenly she saw a bright light and all the fog was gone. Lightpaw was surrounded by strange cats. She felt weird. 'Where am I?' She thought. She could still feel the wind in her fur. She felt strangely happy and pleasant, she felt the need to smile, even though she had no reason too. The cats didn't seem to be wanting to attack her, even though she was on their territory. Lightpaw looked at them one by one, something seemed familiar about them...

One of the cats stepped forward. 'Lightpaw!' He spoke. Lightpaw was confused, how did the cat know her name? She faintly recognized the cat, who was he? She suddenly felt less pleasant and more scared, she wanted to get out of there. 'Where am I?' She asked the cat. The cat looked at her. 'I will tell you.' He said, 'But first you'll need to follow me.' He sprinted away, farther in the woods. Lightpaw ran after him but could barely keep up, he was really fast. They ran farther and farther into the woods until they arrived at an open spot in the middle of the forest. She recognized the Moonrock, was the in the Mistclan territory after all? She looked at the Moonrock again, it seemed different, it glowed a faint light.

The other cat jumped onto the Moonrock. 'You do still not know where you are, Lightpaw?' He asked her. Lightpaw looked around again. 'It looks like I'm at the meeting place...' she replied, 'But that must mean I just was in MistClan territory! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!' She expected the cat to attack her, but he didn't. 'You weren't in MistClan territory, Lightpaw.' He said. Lightpaw was confused, where could she have been then, and were was the now? 'You are in the Eternal Forest,' the cat spoke, 'the grounds of the MoonClan.'

Lightpaw was shocked. 'The... MoonClan...' She stuttered. She took two steps back. She was in the Eternal Forest, she place where all the spirits of the dead cats go. That is why the cats had looked so familiar, and why this cat looked so familiar. 'You are Skymoon!' Lightpaw said, 'You were the Lead of the DawnClan before Icemoon! I remember because you were the MoonClan cat of Nettlemoon, Icemoon's first and original reincarnation!' She looked at the cat, he most certainly looked like how Nettlemoon had looked. Then a realization hit her. 'Does that... Does that mean I am dead?'
