❝ lightning is quiet until it strikes... ❞
A storm is coming to Lightningclan. The leader and the medicine cat fell in love, though it is forbidden. The six kits they gave birth to will only bring evil; they are cursed. With each kit, something terrible will come to the clan. It began with the deputy becoming sick with jealousy and power. The deputy was moved by spirits of the Dark Forest, persuaded into taking one of the leader's lives. The deputy was exiled as a result, the leader sparing their life despite others protesting. Some of the members of the clan wanted to seek revenge, and they formed a group to kill the deputy, succeeding. But at what cost?
The deputy came to the six kits in their dreams, trying to recruit them to the Dark Forest. But only some practiced the former deputy's evil ways. As the kits became apprentices, they plotted ways to take down the clan with the deputy whispering in their ears at night. A fire swept over the clan, which forced the cats to travel far and away to a new territory in order to survive. Despite the clan's efforts, the Dark Forest attacked the new camp. Eventually, the former deputy took the leader's last life.
Now that the leader has passed, the clan is in turmoil. The deputy continues to haunt the kits and brings the threat of the Dark Forest to the clan. The medicine cat has lost contact with Starclan, and all seems lost. What will become of the storm?
