The clan of cats known as StoneClan once had many members the clan thrived in their forest home. There was hardly ever any death and the hunting was plentiful. Life was perfect to most. But all that changed one moon. The moon the prophecy came to Snakeroot, the medicine cat. When he woke from his sleep, he was terrified and distraught as he went in search of the leader. When he reached his leader, he recited the prophecy exactly as it had been givin to him.
"On the morn of greenleaf,
A cloud shall desend.
When the cloud rises again,
With it shall go the moons of old.
Left alone new moons will rise,
With mentors of necessity."
Of course, they didn't truly understand what this meant, but they knew it was bad. And sadly, they were correct. Sure enough, the first month of summer, a fog set in. With this fog came sickness. Severe and fatal sickness. Every cat fell ill, with the exception of those younger than twelve moons. There were also four older cats who were unaffected by the sickness. Those cats were Snakeroot, Silverdawn, ______, and ______. Two toms and two she-cats were sparred in addition to all of the young ones. The two she-cats were both queens at the time of the sickness so maybe that was why they survived. And then for some unknown reason StarClan left the medicine cat alive and the deputy, both toms.
Snakeroot has tried to contact StarClan many times to ask them why this has happened, but they have nothing to say to him. All that is left of this once thriving clan are eight kits, four apprentices, two queens, a medicine cat and a deputy. Will this clan be able to survive after this horrific bout of illness? Or will they perish and join the others in StarClan?
