"Eagle will destroy the star if not stopped by the moon, sun, dusk and dawn." Five apprentices, Starpaw, Moonpaw, Sunpaw, Duskpaw, and Dawnpaw, have strange powers. Soon, disasters start to happen, the river floods the territories, a storm starts to brew with flashing lightning, winds tear across the clans and the shadows are no longer safe. The apprentices have to save the clans.

Duskpaw walked to the fresh-kill pile. Choosing a mouse he decided to go sit next to Moonpaw.

"I can't believe Starpaw can shoot stars out of her mouth!" Moonpaw exclaimed.

"Yeah, and she won't come out of the medicine den no matter how much Jayfeather yells at her"

"Exactly! I wish I had a cool power like that!"

"Well, we are siblings. We probably have powers too. Just look at Jayfeather and Lionblaze"

"Maybe we do!" Moonpaw gasped.

"Possibly. It would be cool!" Duskpaw said "But also kind of scary"

"I know!" Moonpaw chided. "But just think about it: Maybe we could fly or something!"

Jittery excitement build up. Duskpaw was having a hard time keeping it from showing. He bit into his mouse and chewed slowly.

"I wonder, what would our powers be?" Moonpaw said.

Swallowing his mouse, Duskpaw replied. "Maybe, I can make the sun set? My name is Duskpaw"

"Try!"

Duskpaw concentrated. He pictured the sun setting. The colors of the sky at night. He closed his eyes tight.

"Wow! Look at the sun!" a cat said. Duskpaw opened his eyes to see it. But, the sun was in it's normal position.

"Ha!" Moonpaw laughed "You actually fell for it!"

"I'll get you back!" Duskpaw said.

"Wait! No" Moonpaw trembled, trying to keep it together "Try again. I promise I won't trick you!"

"Sure" Duskpaw closed his eyes tight. He pictured the sun, moving to set. Then, the ground started to tremble. Duskpaw opened his eyes. The ground was shaking!

"What's happening Cinderheart?" Larkkit asked. Then, as quickly as it started, the trembling stopped.

"That was weird!" Moonpaw said "Maybe that's your power. Making the earth tremble"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Duskpaw mewed.

"Oh ya? Try again!"

Closing his eyes for the third time, Duskpaw concentrated. The ground started shaking again more violently. He fell down, it was shaking so much! He wanted it to stop. After a second, it did. Duskpaw stood up, shocked. He looked at Moonpaw. There was a "I told you so" look on her face.

"It's not my power!" Duskpaw protested.

"Yes, it is. Try to ignore it but it is"

"If I prove it isn't my power, will you leave me alone?"

"Of course! But I bet it is your power!"

Duskpaw though of the ground shaking. The ground started to shake.

"Stop!" He said to the ground. It stopped.

"I guess I do have a power after all" He said meekly.
