Hey everyone! Skypaw here, and today I’m going to talk about what would happen if Yellowfang didn’t have powers in her Super Edition! Now, I haven’t read it, I’m simply going off the small amount of spoilers I have, so this is going to be weird.

Alright, so what I do know is that Yellowfang has the power to feel everyone’s pain (which I saw no trace of in The Prophecies Begin, but that’s for another time), and was made a medicine cat because of this.

So, if Yellowfang didn’t have a power, she likely wouldn’t have become a medicine cat, which would have meant that she would’ve been legally allowed to have kits with Raggedstar/pelt, which means that StarClan wouldn’t have killed off two of her children and the other one wouldn’t have turned evil because of Lizardstripe (I think that’s her name, anyway). This would mean that the cats who died because of Brokenstar (who isn’t evil), and he wouldn’t have been driven out, so Tigerstar 1 likely wouldn’t be leader, because Brokenstar is stronger than Nightstar (whom I don’t like), so wouldn’t have died of sickness that easily. If he doesn’t die, that means that Tigerstar 1 doesn’t take over ShadowClan, which is good.

BUT, THE BAD ENDING…
If Yellowfang wasn’t a medicine cat, and having Brokenstar was completely legal, she wouldn’t be exiled, so then when Spottedleaf dies, ThunderClan wouldn’t have a medicine cat. This results in the slow death of the Clan, since even though they could train a new apprentice, it would take several moons, and there would be untreated injuries, eventually leading to the Clan dying out. Now, if ThunderClan is dead, no one goes to find WindClan, which means another Clan gone, since they’ll die of hunger. Alternatively, if Brokenstar was allowed to exist, he wouldn’t be evil, which means he wouldn’t drive out WindClan.
Still, if ThunderClan was gone, what would happen to the other Clans? Every time they were saved by ThunderClan wouldn’t have happened. For example, when RiverClan was hungry, and Fireheart and Graystripe hunted for them. This wouldn’t have happened, resulting in the death by hunger of RiverClan. Two Clans left, ShadowClan and WindClan (and SkyClan, so technically three). Also, with two Clans gone, they likely wouldn’t have been strong enough to beat BloodClan, which would result in the death/capture of the two remaining Clans in the forest territories. Then, there wouldn’t have been anyone to rescue SkyClan, resulting in their death as well. Feathertail wouldn’t have saved the Tribe, allowing them to be picked off by Sharptooth one by one, until their death. Then, StarClan would fade into nothing because there’s no one left to remember them.

Thanks for reading, everyone, and may StarClan light your path.
