* happily never after ;

[HnA Coadmin]

We all know about Firestar and his time, but this story takes place many moons, nay, hundreds of seasons after that time. In those years the four clans have found yet another home to call their own. The first forest and the old home by the lake by now have been well forgotten, as well as the tales from back then.

Now we move ahead to a new time, a new forest, and new problems in the clans' home.

Tensions are now as high as ever as a new prophecy has come to light. ThunderClan claims to have gotten the ultimate telling of goodluck from StarClan, however, when shared during the latest Gathering, the other clans were shocked to find that it was indeed completely different from theirs. RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan have one prophecy, but ThunderClan... Are they an outcast? The clan leader himself seems to think this is not a bad occurrence, but just something more to prop his clan onto a pedestal.

ThunderClan has been claiming dominance to the other clans and acting as if they own the place. Their reason? It is StarClan's saying. Why else would they have gotten a different message? The other clans' prophecies predict dark times, and are a general tangle of cryptic messages that spell only trouble.. Should they be worried? Should they warn the fourth clan? The clans are debating on whether they would let the 'great' ThunderClan know of the danger and help them, or let them slowly kill themselves with their ignorant ways.

The Warrior Code says to help any clan in need, but does StarClan want them to help, or did they purposely send ThunderClan a false prophecy and want the nonclan-ridden group pushed out of the forest? Should they warn the clan before any lives are lost, or should they let ThunderClan learn it's lesson with the risk of the rest of the clans crumbling?

Four paws of stone,
A tail of twine,
Felines StarClan holds most divine.
Whiskers made of ash and hay

Must meet with every passing day
If they do not, then you will find
The ending of mews, a broken line..
Of your sins, do not atone

Happily, you will live
Never again, worry about food
After the darkness has been engrossed
