Many years ago, a young warrior named Sparkheart was captured by a feline-hating Twoleg. After spending a little more than a long and boring year in the Twoleg's den, Sparkheart had learned how to read English and sing the alphabet. While she was finally escaping from the hostile Twoleg, her tail got entangled in some wires. She was forced to drag the computer and speaker the wires were connected to with her.

When Sparkheart finally returned to ThunderClan territory (and when her Clanmates had helped her untangle the wires), she managed to operate the computer. After discovering the Warriors Wiki, she found a link in a page about a dead apprentice. This strange and mysterious link led her to BlogClan.

Sparkheart began neglecting her warrior duties to browse around BlogClan. She gradually became obsessed with searching for secret pages on the blog. Her Clanmates avoided her, believing she had become insane after her imprisonment in the Twoleg den. One day, she clicked a picture and it led her to a new, never-seen-before secret page. There was a video on this page. Sparkheart eagerly clicked the video.

It was a boring, long animation Sparkheart couldn't bother to watch, until a particularly hilarious moment. She started laughing, and as she rolled over giggling, she accidentally crushed a button on the keyboard.

Immediately, words started blaring from the speaker. Sparkheart's eardrums nearly exploded as she continued to wriggle around, laughing. She heard, "Harry Potter conquered the world, but was overthrown by the brave cats". And so she giggled even harder. But the speaker was still blaring, many warriors had fled the camp to escape the noise, and above, StarClan was watching. Predictably, they weren't pleased.

"This warrior," Thunderstar grumbled. "She's out of control."

Even a few of the trees in StarClan grew annoyed by the noise. They started growing rapidly, their roots snaking across the ground like vines, and soon they were so tall that their leaves hid even the brightest stars.

The ground wanted to escape from the blaring, too; the earth melted into sickly-scented, squishy mud, that flowed around in muddy, dark rivers.

But the most significant change in StarClan territory were the stars. They were shivering as music began to play, and by the end of the animation, they were quaking in terror. Finally, the stars fled from the growing trees and the sloshing mud.

Sparkheart pressed replay.

After an hour, a dozen or so StarClan warriors were running in small circles, screaming and grazing on the starlit grass. Thunderstar, Shadowstar, Windstar, and Riverstar gazed at them drily. Thunderstar even looked amused, but his fellow founders weren't.

"Well, we can't put up with these lunatics," Shadowstar hissed, watching the bleating warriors closely through her sharp green eyes.

Soon, each of the warriors had galloped into the dark, starless forest, where they are rumored to have spent the rest of their time wondering what had happened to their sanity.

And so the Dark Forest began.
