Tempestpaw was always told that he'd be the next leader, the one to find the Star Rose. Instead, it was Willowpaw that pulled the Rose, destined to lead while he took on the role of a Night Stalker: a group of warriors who protected MapleClan at night. However, he soon discovers that this role is far more important than he could ever imagine, both to MapleClan and the world.

1. Intro

Yo. Well this is awkward. I haven't really been around in the fanfiction scene in a while. The last time I really updated anything was way back in the dusty days of 2017. But that's okay, because I've been having the itch to casually write something and this short perfectly fits in that niche. I mean I call it a short, but right now there's over 20 parts planned until the climax so probably won't end up overly short. eh. good stories can't be constrained by mere word counts.

Tempestpaw was told since birth that he would be MapleClan's next leader. Instead, he was given the role of Night Stalker: warriors that patrol the territory after the sun sets and the world is plunged into darkness. He soon learns that his job is not at all what he imagined, and while he does protect MapleClan in the hours of darkness, there are far worse foes than mere foxes and rogues. Tempestpaw, along with his sister, Willowpaw, must train to take part in a secret war that has been terrorizing MapleClan for generations. A war in which the enemies are not even from this world, but a parallel universe that threatens to collide with Earth ending all life in both worlds. The only way to stop all this is to unite the pieces of the shattered soul-of-souls, the Star Rose. But with plots unfolding on both Earth and the parallel universe Siva, their only hope is to finish the job their Clan had started hundreds of years before: mend the Star Rose and save the world.

MapleClan had always been a bit. . . different. Instead of adhering to a Clan's normal structure, MapleClan divides their roles. An apprentice specializes in one of these roles when they go into the caverns a few moons into their apprenticeship and find their Soulstone -their heart of hearts and reflection of themselves. Not only do the Soulstones decide which role the apprentice will train in, but a warrior's Soulstone is connected to their very being. Being separated from one's Soulstone quickly leads down the path to madness. Of course, a warrior's path in life is not entirely decided on what stone they pull from the caves. Some decide to take upon a different role or specialize in two. However, this is a very difficult path to take and not one that is ever recommended should they wish for any sort of happiness or success. The stones and their roles are as follows:

Agate: red; warrior

Jade: green; hunter

Onyx: black; night stalker

Star Rose: pink-clear; Sun (leader)

Tiger Eye: orange-black; stone reader

Quartz: clear; healer

Amethyst: purple; Runner
