## Chronology

### Succeeded by

*Arc Two*

**Fatekeeper's Wrath** is the first arc in *Warriors: Ultimate Stars.* It follows Lambstar, later Lambcloud, on her path to rid of Fatekeeper, alongside the latter's nephews, Snakepaw and Birchpaw, who are being haunted by not just his legacy, but the Dark Forest and its Entity leader, Strikespiral, too. This is the only arc to feature protagonists from only one Clan, as well as the only arc to be named after a character.

## Summary

Lambstar finds something odd about Fatekeeper, having noticed how fishy he had been acting as of recent since the death of his father, Stoneclaw, who of which had been killed shortly after being exiled. Going to visit StarClan to ask, she is only told to speak with SwiftClan to discover a prophecy. Instead, she finds her warrior, Snowfall, who tells her that Fatekeeper had murdered Stoneclaw, and the two return to camp, saving Ravenspots from him before it's too late and exiling him.

Driven out from the Clan, Fatekeeper meets Deer, and they have kits: Doespeckle, Riversight, Keepermoth, and Pebbletrail. Once the kits learn about their bloody legacy, the only one truly horrified is Pebbletrail, who tries to kill her mother but stops herself. Meanwhile, within NeedleClan, Lambstar slowly is driven more and more insane. She tries to fight Fatekeeper's pack of dogs and realizes she needs to step down, so she appoints Snowstar as the new leader in her place.

Crowfleck has a litter of kits with Gorsewhisper, however dies almost instantly from Fatekeeper's dogs. The youngest tom, Snakekit, grows rebellious because of this and meets with the Dark Forest, but eventually stops once he realizes what he's doing is wrong. When he is apprenticed early along with his siblings, he realizes his brother, Birchpaw, is getting visions, and tries to help him through it, realizing both of them are being cursed by the Dark Forest's entity, a tom named Strikespiral. However, the two only grow distant, and Snakepaw accidentally kills Deer while in a battle against Fatekeeper's group, trying to kill Fawnspeckle instead but being blocked. He runs away, unable to confront the problem, and returns to camp. Deer asks Pebbletrail to create DeerClan, and do whatever it took to rid of her father. Pebblestar tries to do this but gives up when Fatekeeper refuses to leave.

Snakepaw is in a mindset of confusion and fear, and grows distant with his Clanmates, except for Cinderpaw, who tries to comfort him. However, when Cinderpaw is taken away by two SwiftClan warriors, Mousewing and Lavenderleaf, due to being half-SwiftClan through her father Badgermask, Snakepaw refuses to help, instead running away from the Clans and disappearing. He is given some prey by Haystack and refuses to come back to NeedleClan at the current time, even despite Birchpaw's pleas. The Clan suffers without him, and Birchpaw greatly misses his brother, wishing he could've been closer.
