Teh Big Clan History « Thread Started on Apr 9, 2008, 6:08pm »
Based on the History given in Secrets of the Clans. Elders often tell these stories to younger cats, and by warriors they are common knowledge.
Creation of the Clans.
Many, Many moons ago, the cats lived without the structured life of the Clans. They fought constantly, and cats were often killed. Eventually they all agreed to meet at a place called fourtrees at the full moon. A large fight broke out, and the ground was bathed in the blood of dead cats. The exhausted survivors fell asleep where they lay. When they awoke, they bagan to argue again. However, just before another fight broke out, the spirits of the cats who had died that night stood before them. "Unite or Die," they said. The mortal cats saw their kits being hunted and killed, the bodies of hundreds of dead cats. They knew the fighting had to stop. "We cannot unite without a leader," growled a black she-cat named Shadow. "I can hunt in the depths of the darkest nights. I shall lead." "And you would lead us into darkness!" retorted a silvery-grey tom. "I am River! I move through the forest along secret paths and hidden places. I should lead the forest!" "There is more to the world then Shadow and Rivers," hissed a wiry brown she-cat, Wind. "Only wind can reach its furthest. I am fast as the wind. I will lead." Thunder, a rust-colored tom, was the largest survivor. "What good is any of that compared to my strength and skill at hunting? I was born to rule the forest." A young calico female cut him off. "I, Leaf should rule the forest. I can reach to the leaves on the tallest of trees, so I will not go hungry when prey decides to hide for the winter. I am the obvious leader of the forest."
"Enough!" The angry hiss of a shining silver cat, one of the first to die, silenced the arguing. "The forest is big enough to feed all of your families. You must find other cats like you, choose a home, and set down borders." A tabby tom spirit was next to speak. "For leading your Clans we will reward you with eight extra lives. With these you may lead your Clans for many moons to come." A slender tortoiseshell stepped forward. "We will watch you from Silverpelt. We will guide you on your journeys and in your dreams." The silver female spoke again. "Your names will no longer be Thunder, River, Wind, Shadow, and Leaf. You are now Thunderstar, Riverstar, Windstar, Shadowstar, and Leafstar." Again the tabby tom. "Once a month at the full moon you will meet here for a gathering. This gathering will be held in truce and if there is any fighting we will be angry." The tortiseshell added another instruction. "From now on you will live by the warrior code. Your hearts will be filled with courage and nobility, and if you must fight it will be not for greed, but for honor and justice." "You Are Warriors!" Yowled the three. The five chosen cats bowed their heads and settled in peace.

LeafClan's Leaving The Forest « Reply #1 on Apr 9, 2008, 6:31pm »
LeafClan Leaving.
Sixty moons after the original founding of the Clans, and all of the original leaders were beginning to get low on lives. Leafstar had only two left when the twolegs began to tear down her land before her. She knew she would have to move. At the next gathering, she brought her entire Clan, and in the middle of the gathering they watched as trees began to fall down in large numbers. "I have decided that LeafClan can no longer live on our land. The twolegs are taking it from me. The only choice is for the other four Clans to share their land with LeafClan." This was met with hostility and anger. Leafstar knew that this was an impossible choice, but she had no other. "I'm sorry Leafstar, but this is not allowable. You and your Clan must leave the forest. You may leave your kits and elders here to be raised in the forest, but the rest of your cats must leave." Thunderstar sounded definative. "But there have always been five Clans," murmered Windstar. "I wish we had room to take you all in." Leafstar seemed insulted by Thunderstar's offer- she had always been full of pride. "LeafClan can manage on our own." With that she left the forest for good.
Many cats died on the journey to their new home, and no surviving cat this day knows exactly what happened. However, it is knows that to stay alive, they were forced to go to drastic means such as eating the bark off of the trees and the frozen grass. leafstar lost a life due to the fact that she often went without food to alow the other cats to eat. She managed to hang in until the Clan was safe in their new home, where she fell over and died her final time. She never even got the chance to see the new leaders den.
