On a young world, rain poured down from the clouds onto the barren landscape below. Thunder roared, echoing off empty mountains lit by violent flashes. Ocean waves crashed upon the shore, dancing with the loud rumbling of the sea. Dark shadows flickered below the water’s surface, of many shapes and sizes.

There, on the pale sands, a cat gazed upon the sea. Stumbling to stand, unsteady on one broken leg, it looked around in wonder. They were surrounded by a light mist of blackness, that was being buffeted about by the wind. It seemed to be emitting from their thin frame.

A flicker of movement and flash of color caught their attention, and they turned to see a small green and yellow plant getting blown about from its place rooted in the sand.

She realized that he was a tom; muscular and lithe, his gray fur sticking out and his gleaming yellow eyes looking towards nothingness. He shook his head. "You have a much more, different path than others, Shadowpaw."

"What do you mean I have a different path than others!" Shadowpaw screeched. "Petalpaw and I are both apprentices, there's nothing different about me!"

"Beware of the darkness, Shadowpaw, because it can destroy someone like you," He called back, fading. "By the way, you can call me Seastar," Shadowpaw woke up to cold sweat, thinking about
