Blood is precious above all else, and a true warrior does anything to avoid spilling it.
Night is our time, when the moon is above us, we will rise.
Bloodclan Origin:
The first Bloodclan rose and fell in a season. It was broken apart by the Forest Clans, but dredges of it remained littered around the twoleg place. When the Forest Clans were driven out by twolegs, those dredges resurfaced. No clan reformed, and the area was in chaos. New leaders came and went with the passing days, with a new Scourge risen by Sunhigh and dead by Moonhigh. Seasons passed and while things settled a little, nothing really changed. Cats still faced punishment for living together beyond kithood, but now there was no regulation for enforcement.Twoleg trappers hunted the growing feral cat population and created instability. Superstitions whispered in the night guided sharp claws, and nobody was safe.
Until a young kit named Luna watched her brother murdered. They were barely three moons old, their mother had passed away half a moon ago and the two had been trying desperately to survive together. By the old and usual rules they should have been allowed to stay together, but the cat who went after them, Snaggle, was known for being particularly fearsome, and no other cats cared enough to stop him. Luna begged for help, but nobody would do more then watch. Luna and her brother had grown up on the stories of the clans of old, and she longed for that safety and kindness of a clan.
Luna buried her brother, and left to the outskirts of Twoleg place. There she met a nameless young Serval that had escaped the wild pet trade and who could see the ghosts of fallen cats. This Serval now wandered the Thunderpath to stop cats from dying on it, because of the ghosts that now wandered it endlessly. The two grew close, and with the Serval's help, Luna met the ghosts of clan cats and those who had known the clans. The two of them were trained by cats who had come before, including Ravenpaw, Barely, Crystal and Violet. They then returned to the Twoleg place together. The Serval's large size kept others away from them, at least until they met Crow and Tall Cat. Crow and Tall Cat were sisters living on either side of the city, though Tall Cat was more of a nickname then anything else. The four were fast friends, and while the Serval was big enough to justify a single, harmless looking friend, four cats in a group was dangerous. No more then a few days after the group had started to hunt together, other cats of twoleg place gathered for a punishment.
They were lead by the same cat who had killed Luna's brother, and the four friends soon found themselves outnumbered and outmatched. In desperation, Luna challenged Snaggle to a fight at dawn. Whoever won took the right to change the rules. Her challenge was accepted, and at dawn the fight was held in what was left of Fourtrees. Thanks to her training, Luna did better then expected in the fight, but she was still much younger and less experienced then Snaggle. She almost lost the fight, but was saved by the ghost of Scourge who had been trapped in Fourtrees for ages, seeing the effects of his actions and tiring of the bloodshed. Aided by him, she took down Snaggle and banished him.
When he fled, she formed Bloodclan again, but with a new purpose and life to it. Cats who were sick of fear, bloodshed and living alone joined her. Others fled instead, preferring their life before. Each cat took on a new name, with the Serval becoming Bloodclan's first medicine cat and taking on the name Whitestripes. After she found the Moonstone again Luna took on the name Lunastar and became the first leader of Bloodclan to have nine lives.
Bloodclan now exists in the part of twoleg place near Riverclan and Thunderclan, with it's camp in the abandoned construction where the forest once was. The clan is slowly learning how to exist, facing trouble from rouges, trappers, and cats who were never taught how to get along.
Nightclan
Slientkit never had a real name. Her mother had told her to be silent, and then been taken by trappers. 'Silence kit'!. Close enough. The twolegs that took her had given her a name she hated and left behind. She had been told when she was young that she had clan blood through a father she had never met. She escaped the twolegs that took her in with the help of a kittypet named Corbin, and learned about the clans through kittypets that lived near where they had been. When she was six moons old, she renamed herself Silentpaw. When she killed another cat for the first time, in defense of Corbin, she decided she had earned the name Silentstorm.
When Bloodclan reformed, Silentstorm saw the appeal. Really, she had been tired of having to fend others off to stay friends with Corbin. The stability of clan life was drawing cats in, but not everyone could get behind such a soft leader. With a code that revolved around protecting life and peaceful talks. Silentstorm certainly couldn't. So a few moons after Bloodclan was reformed, Silentstorm gathered cats in the twoleg place and what had once been Windclan and Shadowclan's land. There she proposed a second clan, this one bound not by Blood but by the Night. Bound by quiet secrets not to whispered in day, by the safety of shadows and loyalty like that of the moon to the stars, by need and no other.
So Nightclan was formed, not exactly in opposition to Bloodclan, but as it's alternative. Cats with fiercer natures and sharper claws found themselves drawn towards the second clan, while those tired of bloodshed gravitated to the first. Silentstorm too visited the Moonstone and was also granted nine lives by those before her. Afterwards, she and Lunastar met at a full moon and agreed upon the river as their border.
Now the two clans exist in an uneasy peace. Each has more then enough territory between them, and with trappers, rouges, and establishing themselves to worry about, there's been no cause for war. Still, the boundary is checked carefully each day, and it's only a matter of time before something happens...
