Well, here's the AU where Hawkfrost and Ashfur succeed in killing Firestar at the end of Sunset!

One thing you'll notice is that Hollypaw and Jaypaw have different names and appearances - that's because while their original appearances are technically genetically possible, so are these appearances. I wanted to give them a bit of something different, since they're growing up in a different time. It's the same with Tigerheart's and Flametail's names.

This story doesn't have anything to do with Tinystar's Beginning - but like that story, I'll continue this one based on the reception. I'll be working on both for now, so hopefully things go well! This story was an awesome idea in my head so hopefully it's the same on here.

Anyway, most of the questions I'm sure you'll have will be answered in the first few chapters. If there's anything that isn't answered, it's probably because it's a major point later, or a little detail I forgot.

As a warning, this story is going to be a little darker than other stories. Dont' worry - I won't go overboard, but it's just a warning for those who are sensitive to those sorts of things. Be prepared!

This story starts around the same time as The Sight.

Enjoy!
