    Shadow padded into the clearing and let out a small sigh. Stars did not dapple her pelt as the other cat's she'd seen, instead a mist rolled about her paws; a remnant of the place she'd left behind.

    Mintpaw gazed curiously at the cat, before padding over to her, "Hi! Who are you?"

    "I'm Shadow." Shadow looked like her name. She was a dark grey; almost black. She looked young but felt old. Impossibly old.

    Mintpaw shook his star covered pelt, "Well, I'm Mintpaw! I died in a fire!" Mintpaw looked brightly up at Shadow, as if his death hadn't bothered him.

    Mintpaw looked at her, puzzled, "First time...? Oh you died more than once! How did you do that!?"

    Shadow shrugged. "I was needed in the world two times so I was sent back. Rather rudely I might add. I was in the middle of a nap."

    A small orange she-cat with darker orange stripes nudged Mintpaw "She was a leader silly" the she-cat said with a smile "Nice to meet you Shadow im Shimmerpaw" she said her stars were brighter then everyone elses "Im new i died while trying to learn to swim" she added.

    "Nice to meet you too, Shimmerpaw," Shadow replied politely. "I wasn't a leader though. When I was alive, for the first time anyway, they only had one life, same as the rest of us. Such odd names you have. They're in two parts."

    "No, your name is odd! You only have one part!" Mintpaw smiled contently, as if it was some sort of game.

    "My name is perfectly normal for my Tribe, thank you very much! I suppose your names are normal for your- what do you call them? Clans?"

    Shadow grinned. "Not mine. My tribe was long ago, before the clans. They're gone now and so is our heaven. The truth is I need Starclan's help."

    Shimmerpaw soon padded back with the brown tom "Shadow this is Treepelt" she said as she pointed her tail to the molted tabby tom.


    "Nice to meet you Shadow" Treepelt said "Shimmerpaw here said that you needed help" he added.

    "Shadow was correct. The Valley of the Ancents, my tribe's heaven, is dying. I suspect the Land Behind the Moon, sorry, Dark Forest is behind it. I was hoping Starclan could help me. You have a reputation akin to that after your cats assisted the Tribe of Endless Hunting."

    Mintpaw crouched low, "And I'll attack them all with my epic fighting skills!" he pounced on a speck of light.

    "Thank you so much! There's a cat I know in the Dark Forest- Daerk- he's tried to destroy the valley before. It is most likely he has found allies with some of your villains."
