This book takes place between sunset and the sight.
PrologueA dark gray tomcat padded silently through a lightless black forest. A cold wind rushed through, rustling a few leaves. The tomcat approached a small clearing while a muscular, striped tabby walked up to greet him.Come, mewed the tabby, while he flicked his tail towards a small den.Tigerstar! I thought you were dead! cried the gray tom.My spirit is still alive, brave warrior, replied Tigerstar coldly.You killed my mother, you murderer! hissed the tom.But the dogs killed her, retorted Tigerstar. Yes, I did bring the dogs to ThunderClan, but I didn't intend to kill anyone. I really thought that ThunderClan was strong enough to drive out the dogs, but now I know that I was wrong.Well, I supposeIt could be true, muttered the tom.You must trust me, mewed Tigerstar. If you want to protect your clan.What do you mean? asked the tom. How am I to protect my clan?You must kill Brambleclaw, replied Tigerstar.What? shouted the tom. Hes not my favorite clanmate, but I wouldnt kill him!Brambleclaw is a danger to the clan. He will persuade Firestar to destroy ThunderClan, mewed Tigerstar. Im only thinking of the clans safety.How would I kill him? asked the gray cat.I will tell you later, meowed Tigerstar. For now, you must return to your own dreams.Tigerstar turned toward the cold forest, and walked forwards, leaving the gray tom to fade away.
its not graystripe!! lionpaws right. according to what the 'gray cat' and tigerstar said, its gotta be fernclouds brother. cuz their mother...remember? yeah. xD
fernclouds brother is ashfur. their mother was...brindleface, and she died in the fifth book. at the time, ferncloud and ashfur were fernpaw and ashpaw, and then they helped fireheart and the rest of the clan drive the dogs off the cliff. whitestorm said to let them help because even though they were apprentices, their anger would give them energy.
