Well isn't this a surprise!? Hello there! I suddenly realised how much I love this so you might see me more often :D

On to book 3 next!

Epilogue: The unseen meeting

Blackpaw hauled his heavy paws into his nest, his black spikey pelt was fluffed out from the sudden drop in temperature. It seemed Greenleaf was losing its hold and leaf fall had finally won the battle for supremacy. The sun was making less appearances, being blocked out by dull clouds and night was stalking in faster than ever in recent days. Getting up for the dawn patrol was even more difficult when it was still dark outside.

Now after a whole day of hunting Blackpaw was dead on his feet, his fluffy tail dragged in the dust of the apprentice den. It was moonrise and all the apprentices were in their nests, either trying to fight back their weakening eyes by talking or already sleeping.

Blackpaw scanned the nests, Swiftpaw and Ravenpaw laid in their nests, murmuring quietly to one another, Wolfpaw was deep in sleep, covering his nose with his silky tail fur. Stormpaw was snoring with Snowpaw rolling his eyes at him while trying to cover his ears. Dewpaw was lying watching Songpaw sleep peacefully, he obviously had no idea everyone could see him.

Amberpaw seemed to be asleep but when Blackpaw entered she waved her tail as a greeting, Blackpaw felt a warm glow of affection for the grey she cat, but Tigerstar shoved it away with a cold claw. Foxpaw however opened one ice blue eye and beckoned him with his white tipped tail.

Blackpaw hurried over to his nest next to his friend and kept his head close so no one could hear them talking. "Thank the Darkforest you're here, if you were any later Brokenstar would have killed us!" Foxpaw growled irritably.

Blackpaw narrowed his eyes. "I am not afraid of Brokenstar, I admire his ambition but I am the strongest cat in the dark forest, and you'd be wise to remember that" Blackpaw snarled back, ice coating his hiss.

Foxpaw's eyes clouded with fear for a slight moment, then he nodded. "Well let's get to sleep then, then we can get started."

Blackpaw, satisfied he had control lowered his head onto his paws and sank into the darkness of unconsciousness.

Blackpaw's orange embers snapped open and adjusted to the light around him. He looked around in confusion, leafless trees clattered overhead, the whispers of swishing weeds were the replacement of where grass should have been and the mud sticking to his fur made his gag. He looked up, something he didn't do much and saw a pitch black sky, where stars should have been there was pure black and the moon was a forgotten memory, starclan seemed to want to steer clear of this place.

After quickly scanning his surroundings, Blackpaw's eyes locked onto one green and one orange eyes, there was only one cat with eyes like that. "Greetings Nightpaw."

Nightpaw's odd eyes narrowed and he stood up, Blackpaw watched in amazement as his black fur peeled away, turning into wisps of black smoke, fading up into the sky in a twisting motion, and revealed underneath a dark tabby pelt of Brokenstar. His green eye faded away to a bright amber, until Blackpaw found himself staring at Brokenstar, he had also grown a mouselength in that brief period and his pelt had grown scars, along with three scars going vertically down each of his eyes.

Foxpaw, grew considerably and his dark red fur floated away like flames and embers rising into the sky, his blue eyes stayed the same, but a long and thick scar formed on his neck slowly destroying the dark tabby fur there and replacing it with damaged and revealed skin.

Blackpaw looked at his own fur and relished the sight of it peeling away to reveal his brown tabby pelt, he was consumed in black smoke he lifted his head high as his claws grew longer and scars grew on his new fur, his build became stronger and he once again became a adult warrior, formidable and deadly.

The now Tigerstar felt the irritating mind of Blackpaw fade away like the smoke, to return to his body that was now sleeping, he expected the young apprentice would probably dream of catching a mouse while he had his body back for the night.

"Now can someone tell me why we're here? I'll be dead on my paws tomorrow." Growled Hawkfrost with an irritable hiss.

Brokenstar flicked his tail in annoyance of Hawkfrost's moaning. "Tigerstar met me today at the darkclan border, he told me he overheard a meeting between the three from the battle and Ivypool and five apprentices from thunderclan."

Hawkfrost's claws unsheathed.

Tigerstar decided to go into detail about what he had heard.

"Jayfeather spoke of our attack on Starclan.." Tigerstar started only to be cut off by Hawkfrost.

"Oh yes how did that go?" His son enquired, his ears pricked in excitement.

"We managed to take over some of the territory on the border, however we didn't get as much prey as we liked, the fire scattered most of it…Yet Starclan has been weakened, the fire spread to other parts of their territory, they are slightly weaker. We also have information that some died in the fire along with the ones in the border fight. However we too lost warriors but not as many."

"Excellent!" Hawkfrost hissed.

"Anyway…" Brokenstar growled, silencing Hawkfrost with a stony glare.

Tigerstar nodded at the dark pelted shadowclan cat. "Jayfeather explained what we were doing in starclan, and how we are using Darkclan to do our work in the clans. But then Ravenpaw stood up and claimed she was the leader of the apprentices."

"Why in the Darkforest would she do that?" Brokenstar hissed. "Stupid kit."

"Hold on, it's more than a kit's silly tale." Tigerstar growled. "She spoke of two prophecies, both telling the same thing. Five apprentices, the kin of Firestar will fight the Darkforest. Those same five apprentices that were at the meeting. Ravenpaw, Wolfpaw, Songpaw, Stormpaw, and Swiftpaw."

"WHAT!?" Brokenstar hissed. "Firestar again! The prophecy of the three came true last time, we must not make any mistakes this time…"

"Brokenstar I haven't finished. Next they started speaking of powers…..phenomenal powers…Ravenpaw can do something to minds, Wolfpaw can heal in battle and remember every move taught to him. Stormpaw could turn into a wolf for darkforest's sake! Songpaw could see in time and Swiftpaw hunted a rabbit by darkclan from the lake in under a second!"

Hawkfrost looked horrified. "What in starclan's name do we do!?"

"Then Ravenpaw spoke of starclan making her the leader of this team…it seems starclan knew of our plans and prepared by sending kits with their own blessing of their powers. Starclan's sight, dreams, speed, power in battle, and their forms." Brokenstar murmured.

"What do we do?" Hawkfrost growled

"We fight." Brokenstar hissed.

"Don't be a fool Brokenstar, you know cats like us would have no chance, no matter how good our fighting skills are." Tigerstar rolled his eyes.

Brokenstar glared at him furiously. "Then what does the great Tigerstar think? The one who was killed by his own master plan? I have to say I laughed my tail off at that Tigerstar"

Tigerstar filled with a unimaginable anger and raked his claws down Brokenstar's face. The dark brown warrior yowled, staggering backwards as his face bled.

"I'm the one in charge Brokenstar, and if you want to keep your flea-bitten pelt you should remember that!" Tigerstar spat.

"If starclan can send their own kits with their mark then we shall send ours…."

Brokenstar looked up with gleaming eyes, blood still dripping down his face. "You mean?"

"The Darkforest will send its own cat…..and it will destroy them all…."
