They came so suddenly... The rising flood waters. The weeks leading up to that night were moist, no sun shone from behind the clouds and the small creeks and brooks were filling up. Looking back now, I can say it is no surprise that the flood came when it did. All the clans were suffering, the river was overflowing in RiverClan, the moors were muddy and damp in WindClan, the marshes were large and deep instead of shallow and muddy in ShadowClan, and the water swept away all of ThunderClan. It was the middle of the night, very late, when the first torrent of water awoke the apprentices of RiverClan. The yowls began, screaming of water, trying to arouse all those who still slumbered. As panic began to unfold, the waves approached, nearing their campsite and RiverClan knew they had to leave. They ran, as fast as their paws could take them, toward the Twolegplace. Not all were that fortunate though. The kits - nearly all - had passed in the night from the water sweeping away the nursery. The queens travelled together, wailing for their lost kits. It enveloped everything. The trees, the undergrowth, the prey. There was nothing left. The water hit the edges of WindClan and ShadowClan leaving deep puddles and miniature ponds in it's wakes. All the clans were hit hard, fleeing the forest in swift terror. The home that they had known for generations was gone, and the cats had no idea where to go. The clan cats were tossed up, on one hand they were mourning the loss of their home --- on the other they felt like they had been betrayed by StarClan. Why would they allow their entire home to be diminished? So quickly, and so swiftly at that. Many of the forest cats denounced StarClan at that point, leaving their old lives to become loners and rogues. Many moons have passed since that day. A few curious loners had heard the legends of the clan cats, overwhelmed with curiosity --- four cats set out in the forest, recruiting others in their wake to bring forth the return of the clans. They retaught themselves the way of the clans, learning the Warrior code and how to repair wounds through medicine. StarClan has blessed the new leaders... but how long can the peace and bliss last? The clan's borders are even and the leaders are all on good terms, but how long will it be before a war breaks out? Only time will tell. Who will you fight for? Choose wisely. |
