Its been a few days since Sunshade's death which leaded to Squirrelflight unable to continue performing her duties as deputy. Lionblaze was put as deputy to give time for Squirrelflight to recover from her daughters death, and the shock that came from Sunshade's last words: teach them how to fly.
Bramblestar and Lionblaze were in the leaders den currently discussing about what to do now. "I must fulfill my daughter's request To make her kits fly!" Bramblestar argued.
"How in the world are you going to teach Azurekit and Maplekit how to fly?" Asked Lionblaze, "That's what birds do and birds are prey!"
Bramblestar sighed. His mind was like a pile of leaves of knowledge now blown away by a breeze of weariness. One leaf, one idea was left even though it was almost impossible. "Do you suppose that Sunshade wanted her kits to be safe at the moon? And get there by flying?"
"Wouldn't it be more efficient to move underground?" Lionblaze suggested.
"Cats can't wait out this solar apocalypse forever. One day it will reach our descendants, one day." Bramblestar hissed in frustration.
Out of nowhere a cloud of pure darkness entered the came and surrounded them. They yowled for help but no one could hear them through the thick cloud. Lionblaze screeched in horror with Bramblestar as the floor fell beneath them, and they tumbled into the abyss.
it seemed like hours of falling like it never ended, but it did and Bramblestar landed with a sickening thud onto the floor which he could not see. His bones weren't broken for some strange reason as a bright yellow light came towards him. It was Sunshade!
"Oh my precious daughter! I have missed you too much!" Bramblestar purred.
"Do you remember what my last words were?" Sunshade asked briskly. Bramblestar nodded. "Then make it happen."
"How?" Bramblestar asked desperately.
Sunshade closed her eyes. "You must find a friend in who seems to threaten the clans, but is a clear friend to you. When your whiskers touch the salt." As if on cue a wave of water slammed into Bramblestar. The water filled his mouth and the salty taste of it reminded him of... Sun drown place... Quest through mountains... And Midnight.
"I need to find Midnight!" Bramblestar yowled confusedly when he found Lionblaze staring at him with wide eyes.
"I get it now," Lionblaze meowed. "We need to find Midnight to teach them how to fly!"
A yowl came from the clearing in camp. The dusk patrol just came back, and they were surrounding a badger. "Midnight!" Bramblestar whispered.
The badger nodded and said, "I sent you the vision."
Lionblaze hurried out of the leaders den as the elders and kits started to realize what was happening. "Will you teach them how to fly?"
"I will." A familiar deep voice growled. Rock stepped out from behind the warriors den. "I will teach them to fly."
