* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: An ambiguous example. When leading the patrol to a barn the Clans supposedly stayed in, the patrol encounters Toad, a cat who knows Darktail and backs up his story, before they are attacked by dogs. Realizing the Clans are not there, they climb into a tree, but are stuck until Toad falls off and the dogs are distracted, allowing the others to escape. Darktail was on the same branch as Toad, and he claims his friend simply fell, but given his general personality and his actions later in the book, it's very likely he pushed him.

to:

* VillainRespect: Darktail claims to have this for Hawkwing, thinking they understand each other and even offering to make him deputy after [=SkyClan=] is driven out. When Hawkwing refuses, there's a flicker in Darktail's eyes suggesting he is actually disappointed. However, it's unclear if this is true or if he's just manipulating the son of the cat he just killed, and is disappointed it didn't work.
* WeCanRuleTogether: A variation. Darktail says he'll make Hawkwing his deputy if Hawkwing stays instead of leaving with [=SkyClan=]. As stated above, though, it's unclear if the offer is genuine.

* YouKilledMyFather: Hawkwing accuses Darktail of this, seconds after he does it. He refuses to join him because of this.

* TraumaCongaLine: [=SkyClan=]'s situation in this book is probably the biggest one in the series. First they lose Duskpaw in a fire, then are unable to figure out the meaning of the prophecy Echosong received: when they try to follow it, cats (including Billystorm) die. The Clan is also attacked by raccoons at least twice, killing at least one and injuring others. Then Darktail's allies attack the gorge, forcing the Clan to flee. Several cats are killed in the battle (and one drowns in the river during their flight); several others go missing. The Clan decides that their only hope is to leave to find the other Clans, and several of their cats stay behind. [=SkyClan=] ends up running into trouble in Stick and Dodge's city and an apprentice is taken hostage, although at least [=SkyClan=] makes it out without losing anyone. Two cats leave to stay with Barley in his barn. During their journey, the pregnant Pebbleshine is kidnapped by Twolegs, and cats are frequently injured. They think they've found their new home by the lake, but the Clans have never lived by this particular lake, and the area proves to be too dangerous after multiple encounters with a hawk, dogs, and Twolegs (during which several more cats are captured by Twolegs, including a medicine cat apprentice.) A couple cats more decide to become kittypets. ''Then'' [=SkyClan=] falls ill with a sickness while the medicine cat is away, which kills a few more. They are in their darkest hour, saying that [=SkyClan=] is over, when finally a few missing Clan members find them, they are able to cure the sickness, and Echosong receives a new prophecy, leaving a spot of hope.
* TrickedToDeath: Darktail gives a patrol false directions, leading the group directly to a badger den where Billystorm is slain.
