The leader of RainClan stands at the center of the gathering, newfound scars across his chest. His daughter stands next to him, bearing similarly new scars.

He couldn’t allow StarClan to influence her. Those spirits, what would they do to her, should she gaze upon them?

StarClan has forsaken us, Moonstar cries, raving that they must free themselves from them. Few listen, and he is chased away, hauling his daughter with him.

He gives up his name, Moonstar, wanting nothing to do with the spirits that gave that name. Now he returns to his old title, Moonswirl.

Few cats join him:

Hawkleaf of BreezeClan never cared for rules, the basis of StarClan— so she was thrilled to join a Clan that would live without it.

Windleap of SunClan, the abandoned kit of a rogue, never felt like she belonged. Perhaps, then, a Clan loved by nobody would find it in them to love her.

Striketuft of SunClan was thrilled by the idea of a new Clan forming, and StarClan’s involvement mattered little to him.

Cindergaze of RainClan never cared for the idea of spirits, believing in them and yet finding them untrustworthy. A Clan without their involvement sounded ideal.

Stormwater of RainClan would follow her leader to the end of the earth, whether she agreed with him or not.

Mintheart of BreezeClan was devoted to StarClan and very hopeful that he could change the new Clan’s beliefs.

Moonswirl’s new guide.

They are DarkClan, for they follow a sky without the light of the stars.

Strawberryfur - A tiny tortoiseshelly molly with green eyes.

"Just keep trying, you'll get there eventually! It took me five whole assessments before I earned my own warrior name, you know?"

Honeybadger - A fluffy, brown and ginger tabby tom with green eyes.

Bluefang - A large, scarred blue tom without use of his hind legs.

Bubblestar - A tall grey tabby molly with yellow eyes and one white paw.
