Warriors: Changing Skies #1 - The Elders' Quest

The launch of a brand-new arc in Erin Hunter’s #1 bestselling Warriors series find the Clans navigating an ominous prophecy that foreshadows the destruction of the Moonpool, and the end of the Cats' connection to StarClan.

As Leafbare approaches, a new danger threatens the Clans. Twoleg construction has encroached on Clan territory, poisoning the stream and making prey especially scarce for SkyClan. Meanwhile, their leader, Leafstar is struggling with a loss of vision while trying maintain authority over a Clan that increasingly doubts her ability to lead.

In ShadowClan, Tawnypelt senses peril as the Twoleg construction threatens the Moonpool, but she can’t get anycat, especially her son, Tigerstar, to listen. Frustrated with the younger cats who don't respect her, she decides to take matters into her own paws.

In the midst of the chaos, Moonpaw, an apprentice struggling to understand the mysterious voice in her head, thinks that she might be having visions. But the voice becomes increasingly sinister, and Moonpaw wonders if’s a sign of darkness on the horizon.

Cats shown: Leafstar (center), Tawnypelt, and Crowfeather (top).

Last line tag

@ace-malarky tagged me approximately a billion years ago, and I finally have a last line to share 🎉

Breaking the time loop, and the introspection that came with it, could wait for another today.

Tagging @aether-wasteland-s @tracle0 @cwritesfiction if you want to?

(The Elders' Quest spoilers)

just had a theory for why Starlingpaw was at the badger battle to begin with:

if Starlingpaw is going to see ghosts, it's possible for him to have somehow awakened to this ability before his debut as a POV, because Rootspring was around the same age when he got his ghost powers. it's plausible that a ghost led him there, and that's the reason he doesn't really give a reason as to why he was present when he shouldn't have been. he'd probably feel guilty for not only his father's death and his leader stepping down because of it, but also because he was stupid enough to follow something that claimed to be a ghost. hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

if that's not the case in canon, it definitely will be in my au.

additional notes that could make this interesting:

Starlingpaw becomes very distrustful of ghosts in general and that could spark a huge dislike towards Moonpaw's sister

Moonpaw's sister was the one who led him there and that would spark a BIGGER dislike towards Moonpaw's sister. a hatred, even

a proper development of "kid character gets powers they didn't ask for and struggles to navigate them". i don't remember that specific aspect of Po3/OotS being particularly strong (except with Dovepaw i think?) and I know that Rootpaw didn't really have a whole lot of the "struggling" part going on, so this could be a chance for them to finally do it right here. plus, Tree and Rootspring would be there to help him, which would definitely be needed

or, and this is more likely knowing the Erins, Starlingpaw would try to pretend like he's normal and keep the fact that he's seeing ghosts a secret because communication doesn't fucking exist in this series, and then that would cause some unnecessary familial conflicts (with Robinpaw in particular) like the Erins love to do now. really hope this doesn't happen

So here’s a scene I wrote for tEQ, that I know I’m not actually going to use because it was spit balling ideas back when i first got the idea (though the general idea might be my own personal headcanon that never makes it into the plot)

“There’s no one left out there for me.” “What about your son?” She raised an eyebrow and leveled her with a haughty look. “I’ve been here for centuries according to your time, though in truth I have no idea, and I was erased from the minds of everyone who ever knew me.” The fight seemed to leave her as she sat down. “Not that it matters. Even if he could remember me, I doubt he’d want to. And it’s not like I would recognize him anyway.”
