[alt text: a brown tabby cat with a forest with two more cats behind it]A place to discuss Book #1 of Changing Skies.
Blurb:
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.
I have a few theories for MoonPaw.
(Theory one)
Maybe, just maybe, it’s TigerStar 1. His spirit could’ve somehow faltered and possibly not have gone to the ‘Nothing’. He might be a ghost, not able to go to StarClan or the Dark Forest, just walking around the living world, invisible to all. He could have recently come to the living world as a ghost, possibly, or he would’ve already done something. He might be whispering beside her, manipulating MoonPaw so he could return to the dark forest and continue his reign of chaos..
(Theory two)
The voice is MapleShade. MapleShade has ALWAYS been a background character when it comes to Dark Forest schemes, except in CrookedStar’s Promise. She is always the follower. It might be her time to shine.
(Theory three)
This is about MoonPaw’s parents and where she might have come from. This might be BristleFrost’s recarnation or, somehow, awhile after BristleFrost’s spirit died, StarClan was somehow able to find it, and maybe she got a second chance. Like, i think MoonPaw has her own spirit, just part of her might be BristleFrost’s second chance….
interesting theories!
ooo like with Cinderheart!!! but Bristlefrost wouldn’t be menacing… unless maybe dying in the dark forest changed her??? like it almost did shadowsight.
I would LOVE to see that and then Rootspring’s reaction if this was true…
I don’t think it’s likely that Bristlefrost will be reincarnated. Interesting theories, though.
YAYY!! we totally need this arc. MORE BOOKS!! we defently need like 8-10 more books!!!
No 500000million more😂
So the main characters are leafstar, tawnypelt and moonpaw. That means that we have skyclan, shadowclan, and probably thunderclan. Looks like windclan gets skipped out on. Also windclan is boring until they bring back tunneling.
From the blurb it just seems like they’re remaking the Broken Code 😔
Ugh.
I honestly really don’t like the name. It’s like a remake of ‘The apprentice’s quest’
They should’ve called it ‘Dark Horizon’ or:
‘The last prophecy’ or ‘The last omen’
‘Coming fear’
‘Losing hope’
‘Grave danger’
Or The Sun-Drown Place or The New Prophecy Midnight 2.0 Minus The “New” Part Of The Really Long Interesting Title That Is Probably The Only Interesting Part Of The Book
After I watched this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEMgUX9Wxus, I think the voice is Tigerclaw because if Ivypools Heart proves that there is something when people thought there was nothing then Tigerclaw would be an obvious anti
I don’t think Tigerstar will be included in Changing Skies. He is gone, the book made that clear.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Does anyone think that maybe Moonpaw is not Nightheart and Sunbeam’s kit. I mean, she probably is, but what if she was Lightleaps kit? Or maybe another Berryheart kit? idk, I’ve just finished reading River. Wait, twolegs making new buildings and SkyClan having a loss of prey and territory . . . will the Clans force them out of the territories. Again. So many things could happen!
Moonpaw is the kit of Bayshine and Thriftear; it was confirmed on the official website of Warriors (https://www.warriorcats.com)
Hello Nightkit doesn’t remember Bayshine or Thriftear interacting with each other! Don’t worry your not alone. Also I can’t tell if your joking or not but if you aren’t then Warriors, why? Just why? Night + Sun = Moon but no Bay + Thrift = Moon??? How does this make any sense???
Leafstar isn’t ginger. . . maybe that’s Moonpaw on the cover. Random thought
No, it’s officially confirmed [I think?] that Leafstar is on the cover. You’re right, she’s not ginger, but I think the cover is trying to show her brown tabby pelt… 🙂
Moonpaw’s parents are Thriftear and Bayshine. I really wanted her to be a NightxSun kit!
Same!! Well maybe it’s better because now it won’t be another Violetshine case where all the personality is gone and she’s just a classic nice mother
Yeah, but I have never heard of the ThriftxBay ship.
What if the mysterious voice is Splashtail? Because if we kill him off this series he could come back as an Ashfur. I’m trying to be creative because I SO don’t want ANOTHER Shadowsight or Frostpaw. I mean they were okay but we need something new.
What if Leafstar turns into Longtail and gets beaten up by a rabbit and then when they go to the gathering Tawnypelt brings up the topic of the twolegs and then Leafstar in the only one who agrees but no one cares because she’s blind and Jayfeather gets mad and yells at them. And when Moonpaw goes to sleep, Berrynose whispers stuff in her ears, looking for ghosts jk Lightleap is talking to one the apprentices about how SHADOWclan is the best and they need to spy and kill SUNbeam and NIGHTheart because of BLAZEfire ahem Darkness 9n the horizon, Shadows, Sun, Night, Blaze? Yeah this will never happen and I think I am crazy
I hope Leafstar dies soon. She has been around for soooo long if you think about it. She would be like an elder if she was a normal warrior.
Yeah, but she’s got some character at least. But if you’re going to get rid of Leafstar, you need to get rid of most of ThunderClan, too.
Agreed
I really like Leafstar, but you’re right, it’s time for a new leader. Maybe Hawkwing would be good. But I kinda want him to die too, bc he’s also oldish… We’ll see!
I HAVE SO MUCH YAPPING TO DO I JUST SAW THE CHARACTER CARD ON THE WEBSITE FOR MOONPAW
SO. THEORIES.
I think that Moonpaw will be a sort of autistic kind of character, because representation is awesome. I also think that her siblings perhaps died during birth, causing her parents to treat her in such a special way, because siblings are crossed out. I also think that no one will want to mentor her because of how strange she looks, and that is why that’s crossed out as well. Also. GRANDMA IVYPOOL OMG. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS. I think that the voice Moonpaw hears is going to be Mapleshade, because of how similar they look.
YES GRANDMA IVYPOOL YES
This is so cool! 🙂
I hope mapleshade appears in this book. I feel she was always that one dark forest cat for the other cat’s scenes. She never got the chance to actually take revenge some more.
