Kinkpaw woke to swiftpaw shaking him awake. "Kinkpaw, you'd better come see this."
By the panic in her voice, kinkpaw obliged and followed her out into the clearing. every cat was awake now, and all were staring up at the sky.
Kinkpaw looked up at the sky, expecting to see the stars of starclan, like there usually is up there, one for each starclan warrior that is above them.
But only the moon shone above.
No clouds, no nothing covering the sky, and yet there was not one single star shining in the sky. not one.
This confused kinkpaw, if he remembers correctly, each star was a star clan warrior. So why is there no stars at all?
Goldstar and wolfsilence have entered the camp. Goldstar launched himself onto the great rock and stood tall.
"Attention hillclan, I learned this from a trip to the starpool, but apparently the dark forest has driven starclan out of their hunting grounds, and now our old enemy, Thornstar, sits on a throne of clans in starclan." He announced.
This caused a large amount of panic in the clan. As cats started to flee the camp, but goldstar signaled with his tail for them to calm, and they went silent.
Kinkpaw himself was distraught at the realization. No starclan, no redstorm, to train him at night now.
He was back to being the normal deformed apprentice in the clan.
