Long ago, in a land rich with prey and filled with the beautiful Birds of Paradise, an ancient cat called Fallenwind was born into Paradiseclan. But this was no ordinary cat, he was given the power of all fours elements by Starclan to ready the Clan for the troubles that would arise in the moons to come... because as Fallenwind took a mate, the powers were passed down to each of four kits. Four elements in all. The cats of current Paradiseclan inherit Fallenwinds powers.
The moon rose high over a large, low to the ground tree, with nests filled with sleeping pelts up and down the branches. Some cats were sleeping in dens below the tree. A grey she-cat was perched on the highest branch, silhouetted against the skyline. Her eyes were locked onto the moon as a cloud seemed to come out of nowhere to block out the moon, leaving the ground below black. As the grey she-cat retreated below, landing silently on her paws, she heard a voice call out her name. "Greenstar?" the voice called again. "Yes, Ivoryear?" the she-cat sounded uneasy as she answered to the black tom, with one white ear, that was her medicine cat. "You saw something didn't you..." he read worry in her mew. "That cloud blocked out the moon... and i saw shadows all around seeming to move to and fro," Greenstar said as her voice grew heavy. "And i heard a voice from one of the shadows saying something that i couldn't make out-" she was cut off as the shadows surrounded Ivoryear, sucking him into the bushes with a screech of horror that was soon cut off. "I-ivoryear... No..." she whispered as the shadow took shape of a cat. "There will be more blood split..." its voice barely audible, disappearing as the cloud moved past the moon.
Greenstar lay in her small nest at the bottom of the tree, writhing and twitching in her sleep.
"What do you mean?" she was meowing to the cats of Starclan that had surrounded her in her dream. "Why did Ivoryear have to die?!" she protested as the cats silently eyed her. Finally one spoke. "That was not us, that was the Dark Forests work. They have managed to give a cat the power to control the Shadows." a tabby tom said, with worry cloaking his voice. Another piped up, "We have summoned you here to give you a prophecy," A white she-cat said. Then suddenly they all seemed to speak in unison; "There will six with the powers of the elements, two with powers given by Starclan, that hold the power to challenge the cat that controls the shadows."
She awoke suddenly, startled by something nudging her pelt. "What is it?" She asked Ivoryears apprentice who had taken his place as medicine cat, "You had the same dream." Greenstar sighed and sat up, slightly agitated at remembering her dream. "What do they mean 'Cats with the power of the elements'? Our whole clan is full of cats with the power of the elements!" she hissed and looked over as the medicine cat spoke, "They will be no ordinary powers, they will be rank eight." Greenstars eyes showed a spark of surprise, hoping somehow cats with powers above the highest rank Paradiseclan has recorded would be enough to stop a cat who can control and become shadows.

Explanation of Powers
In theory every cat can have powers, even if their parents didn't, but one of their ancestors must have had powers. On average, if one parent had powers, one out of five kits inherit their powers. If both have powers, one out of three will inherit either power.
A cat can have only one, either fire, water, earth or air. Darkness, light and shadows are strictly for those cats within the prophecy.
A cats rank of power can range from one to seven, though six and seven are very rare and only happen when both parents had powers.
Fire
The cat can only control fire below rank four, above rank four they can create it within their paws and mouths and control the fire skillfully. Cats with the fire element usually take on a fiery or hot headed personality, though not always.
Water
The cat can loosely control water below rank three, above rank three they can easily control it and freeze it with their paws and mouths, still controlling the frozen water. Cats with the water element usually take on an icy or calm personality, though not always.
Earth
The cat can loosely control rocks or plants below rank three, above rank three they can manipulate plants and vines to turn the tide in battle and create sturdy nests. Cats with the earth element usually take on a leader or caring personality, though not always
Air
The cat can control the wind up to a steady breeze below rank four, above rank four they can create gusts of wind and down drafts to effect their prey in trees. Cats with the air element usually take on a free spirited or loner personality, though not always.
Prophecy only elements
Darkness, Light, and Shadows are prophecy only elements.
Darkness
This cats powers are derived from Starclan and are rather mysterious; The cat can effect the lack of light in an area to seemingly bend an object out of someones view. They are at home in the night, where they can reach out their senses through the darkness and see things others do not.
Light
This cats powers are derived from Starclan and are pretty straightforward; They can bend the light in an area the way a mirror would, sometimes blinding someone momentarily. They are at home when the sun is out and their powers are at their peak, easily effecting someones view on something, bending the light to make a cat see something that is not there.
Shadows
This cats powers are derived from the Dark Forest and are sinister in nature. They can effect the flow of shadows seamlessly, and when their powers are at their peak at night, they can bend the shadows to grab a cat, never to be seen again. They can also move within the shadows, almost acting as a shadow themselves, and are never seen until the last second.
