Backstory:
Lifestar yowled in pain as another of her lives was taken by Deathstar. Fighting back she managed to take two of his lives at once with two quick death bites, as he rose on his last life he shifted out of her way and leaped up, clamping his jaws firmly onto Lifestar's neck. Deathstar quickly sank his teeth deep into her neck and dropped her. As Lifestar's body convulsed for yet another life lost she stood slowly and yowled to the survivors of her clan, "SHADE CLAN! RETREAT!" she yowled and raced for their camp entrance. Her medicine cat, deputy and three warriors following behind her, "where are we going?" asked Patchtail, Lifestar's deputy,
"Anywhere but here, somewhere that is free of that Code breaking clan," she winced as she collapsed on the ground and Patchtail rushed over to her, "you four go on without me, let the clan survive," she meowed weakly, "our clan must Live," as her body convulsed for the last time she lay dead on the ground with the remains of her clan around her, "we will Lifestar, I promise," Patchtail mewed before leading the others on a long journey to find their new home. The cats soon found a new area, a lush forest with tons of prey, even in leaf-bare. All the prey, herbs and shelter you could want. Patchtail soon found a small tunnel leading into a large low down clearing with rocks, caverns and a dead tree. Searching the area for enemies she found none and walked over to the dead tree and leaped on top of it, "cats of Shade Clan, this will be our new camp," she yowled, "also, I am renaming this clan to Life Clan, in honor of our brave leader Lifestar," she finished jumping down from the tree she began to sort out the dens. Little did they know, Claw clan had moved into the dead, black forest nearby and had renamed their clan to Death Clan, after their leader Deathstar who had shortly been killed by a fox looking for food in their territory. But the one huge difference, they don't know eachother clan's history.

Short Version!
(For those who can't be bothered reading the detailed long one. I highly recommend reading the long version though)
Lifestar's clan is in a fight with their rival clan, ClawClan. Lifestar loses one life and Deathstar loses two, leaving them both with one life each. Lifestar retreats the five living warriors of her clan, ShadeClan and makes them promise to help the clan survive. She then loses her last life and the other cats pay quick respect and then head out to find a new home with Patchtail (her deputy) in the lead. Then the clan becomes renamed to LifeClan in honer of Lifestar. ClawClan also move to a new spot, that is unfortunately near LifeClan and is renamed to DeathClan, in honor of their old leader who had been killed by a fox. Each clan now do not know their rival clan's history.

Wild Garlic: Rolling in this herb can help to keep infection out of wounds. It is also good for rat bites.

Other Non-Herbal Treatments
1. Gently nipping a cat's spine or poking it hard with a claw tests to see if the backbone is broken. If the subject does not feel the nip or poke, then the spine is broken. Many times a medicine cat will have to poke/nip the subject multiple times in different places to find the break.

2. Licking a cat's fur can help clean wounds, comfort/calm down a shocked or grieving cat, and warm a cat who has become very cold. (Lick the cat's fur the wrong way to do this. The last method is most often used on kits.)

3. Soaking moss in water and holding the dripping moss before a sick, injured or weak cat makes it easier for them to drink. Soaked moss can also be used to cool feverish cats.

4. Rosemary or mint can be used to lighten the death-scent of a dead cat before burial.

5. Using nectar, honey or mouse blood can make herbs sweeter and more appealing to cats--therefore making it easier to take the medicine.

6. Holding a swelling wound in cold water takes down swelling. Cats can also soothe scraped pads by soaking them in water.

7. A cat with weak or hurting muscles/bone can take part in water therapy. Have them wade in water that is not too deep or shallow, and eventually they'll get stronger.

8. Having a sick cat wail or yowl keeps their lungs and chest clear of mucus.



Taking Care of Your Herbs

Here is how a medicine cat should keep their herbs fresh and usable.

--If any herbs are wet, leave them out in the sun until they dry.

--Gather fresh herbs when your stock gets low.

--Leave enough of the herb on the plant you use for gathering it so it can reproduce

--Check your store often and throw out old herbs or herbs that have lost their healing qualities.



Other Herbs To Keep in the Medicine Den:

Note: ONLY use these herbs for self-defense against a cat who is a danger to all the Clans, or if a cat from your own Clan asks for a quick, painless path to StarClan while on his or her deathbed.

Holly Berries: A poisonous berry. Cats die almost instantly if they are consumed. If consumption if not intentional, use yarrow to get the berries out of the cat's stomach.

Deathberries (Yew berries): A poisonous berry. Cats die almost instantly if they are consumed. If consumption is not intentional, use yarrow to get the berries out of the cat's stomach.

The berries listed above can also be used as traps for dangerous predators. (Snakes, mountain lions, foxes, badgers, ect.) Stuff a piece of fresh-kill with these berries and set it near the predator's den. They will die quickly and painlessly.



StarClan Gathering place:
Every half moon the medicine cats from the two clans will gather at a large clear river in a large cave on the other side of DeathClan territory called the Moonriver. It is also used to give new leaders their nine lives and name and to welcome new medicine cat apprentices.

Clan Descriptions:

Death Clan:
Death Clan's territory is located in a dead forest made up of black pine trees that have very few needles. Prey that is found on the ground is hard to find as there is little to eat for them. The main prey they eat is bird that live high up in the treetops. The forest they live in has one large lake in which they sometimes catch fish and always rely on to get water. Their Camp is located in a large clearing surrounded by thick bramble bushes with abnormally large thorns. Their leader sleeps in an old fox den beneath a large rock jutting out from a steep cliff on the left side of the camp called Rock Peak. The warriors sleep in a rock den that used to belong to a badger. The medicine cats den is situated in a deep and large burrow with the nursery to one side of it. In between the nursery and the medicine cats den is a curtain of roots of a tree that are intertwined with only a small gap, just big enough for a heavily pregnant queen to squeeze through. The roots also have bramble bushes growing through them so your can't break through it. The elders den is an old Badger set off to one side of the warriors den.

Clan Personality:
Death Clan are loyal to the warrior code when under the correct leader. They are noble cats and will fight to the death if necesary.

Prey:
Mice: Common-Very Rare
Voles: Uncommon
Squirrels: Rare
Rabbits: Rare
Finches: Common
Crows: Very Common
Magpies: Common
Hawks: Uncommon
Eagles: Rare
Fish: Uncommon

Death Clan skills:
Death Clan are great fighters and are also very good at climbing trees and catching birds. Death Clan cats also have good balance.


Life Clan:
Life Clan's territory is located in a lush forest with easy to find ground prey and birds. The trees are a mixture of oaks and pines that are lush with leaves. The ground has a large amount of bushes for coverage and the ground has a ton of herbs and grasses that keep the prey plentiful through all seasons and there are plentiful water sources in which to catch fish and to drink from. Their camp is situated in a large lowered down clearing with the main entrance being a tunnel through the hill. Surrounding the hills is a thick wall of trees that is impenetrable for a warrior. The gaps between each of the trees is only just enough space for a young apprentice to slip through. But if a warrior manages to get through there are thick and thorny brambles on the other side of the trees to protect the camp more. The entrance is shielded by a plant that looks like bramble bush but isn't. This bush has thorns but they are soft and bend easily when they have pressure applied to them. The leaders den is a hollow beneath an old tree above called the 'Dead Tree' which is near the center of the clearing. The warriors sleep in a large Fox den and has been hollowed out to make one large room. The medicine cats den is underneath a large rock that serves as a roof. There are only a few cracks in the rock that allow light to pass through so it is often black during the night. The nursery is nearby to the medicine cat den and is hidden through a log tunnel and into a secret cavern. To block the entrance of the nursery the clan has placed real bramble bushes to the side of the log to create a barrage. In doing so you need to crawl through the entrance slowly and then down into the nursery, running straight at the bush would end in serious injury. The elders of Life clan are situated in an old badger set on the other side of the clearing near the leaders den. Out the back of the clearing against a mossy wall is a hidden cave that either very sick cats or badly injured are put. In a fight the medicine cat would hide in here and care for wounded cats. In the event of being driven out the clan gathers in this cave until the other clan is unsuspecting and then launch another attack to clear them from the camp.

Clan Personality:
Life Clan are very loyal and noble cats who will almost always follow the warrior code. Life Clan also has a strong belief and connection to Star Clan.

Prey:
Mice: Very Common
Voles: Common
Squirrels: Common
Rabbits: Common
Finches: Very Common
Crows: Rare
Magpies: Uncommon
Hawks: Rare
Eagles: Very Rare
Fish: Uncommon

Life Clan skills:
Life Clan cats are very agile and are skilled hunters. They are good at planning attacks if needed are are excellent at ambushing enemies. Life clan are very fast cats with strong fighters.

Username: ~Densetsu Weed~

Name: Spiritstar

Gender: She-cat

Age: 30 moons

Clan: Life Clan

Kin: None, because they are all dead

Lives Left: She has nine lives left as she has only just become the new leader of Life Clan.

Personality: Spiritstar is a very kind and gentle cat. Spiritstar has a very strong spirit and is never truly hurt by words although she may look it. She will never rush into things or ever break the warrior code. Spiritstar is respectful to her fellow leaders and deputies of other clans. She is also very gentle to the queens and their kits and hope to have kits of her own some day.

History: Spiritstar was once called Ashkit before she was renamed to Spiritkit when she almost dies of whitecough. Her new name was based off of her strong spirit and the flame burning in her heart to survive the whitecough that had taken her siblings lives. Soon after that she was apprenticed and made a warrior. She now hopes to one day have her own kits that she can name after the cats who helped saved her life.

Username: ~Densetsu Weed~

Name: Foxtail

Gender: Tom

Age: 45 moons

Clan: Death Clan

Rank: Warrior

Kin: None, he was an only kit

Personality: Foxtail is kind, cunning, and very brave. He will never break the warrior code unlike some of the others in his clan. He respects his duty and his leader greatly and would never betray them. Foxtail is a brave fighter and he will never always kill a cat. He is an honerable member of Death clan and doesn't take things for granted. He will punish enemies fairly but never too harshly. Foxtail will also hardly ever use the killing bite move on another cat unless he has no other option.

History: When Foxtail was a kit he was raised fairly like all the other kits. He was a fun loving kit, much like most other kits. Once he was apprenticed his mother and father were both killed by a fox who was trying to steal kits and other weak cats. Unfortunately Foxtail was the first cat to find them and wouldn't leave their side untill dawn the next morning. He made new friends with his first mentor and with another apprentice. But when they were sitting vigil after their warrior ceremony, the same fox that killed his parents came back and terrorised his clan. He and Darkpelt (his friend) risked their lives against the fox but couldn't get it to leave, so Foxtail ran to the warriors den and yowled that there was a fox in camp. All the warriors soon came rushing out and battled the fox out of camp with severe wounds. But after the medicine cat had checked over Darkpelt and Forgottenpast (his first mentor) he had claimed they were dead. Devastated at another loss of his only friends he sat with them for two days without letting the elders bury them. He refused to do his duties the deputy and leader gave him for a week. After the week had passed Foxtail resumed his duties and eventually got his own apprentice, Dawnpaw. Foxtail finaly thought things were getting better for him as he slowly made friends with Dawnpaw. Until his hunting party accidentally came too close to snake ground and Dawnpaw got bitten by an adder. Foxtail had rushed her back to the medicine cat as fast as he could but she didn't last through the cold night. Foxtail then avoided making friends with any cats because he knew he wasn't meant to have friends.

Crush: None

Mate: None

Kits: None
