Prologue
Swarmstar stepped into the dark clearing, surprised by how shadowy it was. Starclan's forest was usually much more bright, light reaching every corner. She looked up as a shadowy movement caught her eye. "Buzzfoot?" She questioned, seeing the dark tabby pelt appear. Swarmstar was surprised by her sister's appearance after everything she had done. Buzzfoot betrayed the clan long ago and payed dearly for it. "Buzzfoot, I didn't know you ran in Starclan's forest." The she-cat let out a loud, maniacal laugh.
"Why dear Sister, this isn't Starclan's forest. This is a forest of shadows. A place that your clan is bound to end up along with all the other clans." Buzzfoot meowed, voice filled with menace. Swarmstar growled at her once beloved sister,
"What do you mean?" She said angrily.
Buzzfoot laughed again,
"The end of the clans is coming, Sister. And it shall be led by one more twisted than any cat in the forest." She said, disappearing into the shadows. Swarmstar's heart raced as the shadows darkened, leaving her in darkness.
Swarmstar awoke in her nest to the sound of a queens yowl. Blizzardclaw was kitting. Swarmstar rushed to the nursery where Lakeshine was working slowly and patiently.
"How is she doing?" Swarmstar asked slightly jolted by the shadows cast by the moonlight. Lakeshine nodded,
"She's overstressed herself but, she is young and strong. Her kits will be fine." Swarmstar watched as Lakeshine helped Blizzardclaw birth three healthy kits, a white she-cat with silver patches, a small white she-cat, and a light silver tom. All three healthy kits. Swarmstar's moment of happiness and relief was interupted by a realization. Buzzfoot's words flowed through her mind. Could it be that one of these kits was the one twisted enough to lead the clans to the forest of shadows?
