Darkclan Reborn from the Ashes [WIP]

-- Intro


You’re padding along in the forest, and you scent unfamiliar cats, but think nothing of it, because the scent is stale. Deeper into the forest you go and suddenly you hear a rustling sound from behind you. Turning around you call, "Who's there?" The ferns break apart when a beautiful ash gray she cat with bright blue eyes walks out of the underbrush. She darts out and tackles you into the dirt with a snarl. "Who are you and why are you in my territory?" You look at her eyes wide not knowing anyone lived here and you quickly say your name. Your first thought is to throw her off and run for it, but then more cats walk out from the underbrush and circle you in. "I was only looking around." Your voice sounds a bit shaky, there is no way you can take on all seven cats. The beautiful she cat nodded and lets you up."I am Ashstar leader of Darkclan either join us or die." The threat is simple and it seemed there was no loophole. Either you join these cats or they will shred you. The female that tackled you was clearly the leader as she walked away, not afraid to turn her back on you as she walked towards the six other silver cats. They are all similar to her, almost as if they were related. Silver pelts, blue eyes. Who were these cats? Why did they have this haunting look in their eyes?

--History


A very long time ago there was a major battle between Nightclan and the Dark Forest. it went on for days, laying waste to the land. After the battle there was nothing but ruins and bodies of the former clans. It seemed as if there were no survivors as a massive fire started. Lightning struck a dead tree, as if it were a sign from above to end everything the fire engulfed the clans, both the living and the dead cats were swallowed by the scorching heat. The entire territory was flames in only a day, there was no way anyone could have survived, or so they thought. The leader's mate, Wildflower survived and escaped with her young kits, who were barely old enough to walk. Willowkit, Flowerkit, Hawkkit, Bumblekit, Ashkit, and Darkkit were her original litter. However, only Willow, Ash, and Dark made it out alive after the battle. The flames and smoke had claimed their littermates. For moons they traveled alone in unknown territories. They like to claim that they had never had silver fur before the fire, that the smoke had stained their pelts to permanently remind them where they came from, or at least that is the story Wildflower told her children as they grew.



Wildflower passed away a few moons after her kits grew old enough to be warriors. She had trained them as if they were still part of a clan, it was only in her nature, as if she knew nothing else. Darkkit was named Darkstorm. Willowkit became Willowfire and lastly Ashkit became Ashleaf. The new warriors continued on after their mother's death and created a clan all on their own, in memory of her. Darkstorm was the first born in the litter, so he took the role of leader, while Ashleaf was his deputy and Willowfire was the medicine cat. Finding other cats to join them had been easy enough.



That was many seasons ago. Darkstar lost both of his sisters to greencough only two seasons after forming the clan. He was the only one who remained from the original clan. Now he is dead now. A new leader stands in his place. Ashstar. She was not his sister, but a young kit he had found lost in the forest, all alone. Lightning had struck a tree, another sign from the sky, or so the leader had believed. Racing there Darkstar had found a single kit curled up in a small pile of ash, she was tiny and frail, barely a few days old, but there was no one there with her. Her resemblance to his littermates had been uncanny, so he took her in immediately and trained her as his own apprentice once she was old enough. Darkstar knew there had been a reason he had found her that day. It was not until she became a warrior that he realized why. He was in love with her. Darkstar never told her, not until after she was his Deputy, but by then he knew they would never be together. There would be an uproar if the clan found out, they would believe he had only chosen her to be Deputy because he loved her, not because she deserved it. Darkstar died a few moons later from greencough. No one knew it was his last life until he lost it and was gone. It had shocked them all at the sudden change. Now Ashstar is the leader.

Territory

-- 

A thick forest surrounded by rivers on all four sides, making the borders easy to remember. Most of the trees are oak or maple and they reach high into the sky. During Greenleaf very little sun gets into the undergrowth, causing most of it to be damp, but quite cool. There are patches of sunlight that peek through the trees by the rivers, where the trees thin out and the sun is the most prominent. The camp is at the center of the territory surrounded by brambles and bushes. The Leader's den is a hollowed out log, it is shared with the Deputy. The Medicine Cat's den is found not far away in a small stump that was hollowed out. A store room was dug out underneath it, almost like a tunnel behind the stump. There are small ferns covering the entrance to block the sun from coming in and disturbing the ill cats. On the far side of camp is the nursery. It was built under the roots of a massive oak tree. Brambles and vines were used to cover up the holes, besides the entrance. The Warriors Den and Apprentices Den was completely constructed out of sticks, leaves, brambles, and vines. They stand side by side near the nursery. There is a small elders den underneath a berry bush, but is often empty. Not far from the camp is two sandy dunes, where the apprentices train.
