The Fate of Five {LB}

[Ravenstar]

StarClan failed the Clans. The lake is no longer a safe place to live, monsters roar everywhere, digging up the earth just as they were in the old forest, and twoleg nests are popping up all over the Clan territories. Firestar is on his last life, but StarClan sends him one last call to help their descendants. Redstar, Birchstar, Dawnstar, Swiftstar, and Cloudstar all come together in a dream to tell Firestar that they wish for there to be five Clans again. SkyClan has moved from their home at Cloudstar's willing, to a new place where all five Clans can live together as they once did long ago. Firestar takes on the task of explaining to the Clans everything about SkyClan and how their ancestors betrayed the Clan and lied to them about there always being four Clans. Some cats don't believe him, but they all agree that leaving the lake is their only option.

Firestar leads the Clans back into the mountains, only he travels deeper and deeper into them, past what even the Tribe cats have knowledge of. The journey is hard and some cats are lost, but eventually they come to a beautiful valley hidden away deep within the mountains. SkyClan is already there and Leafstar greets Firestar and the other Clans openly, showing the Clans around the large spread of the valley. Her Clan has already explored its depths. Soon, boundaries and territories had been marked out and the Clans began their new life, the four a little uneasy about SkyClan and also having lost a little faith in StarClan for lying to them. However, this passed over a generation's time and the Clans are now in their second generation of cats to be living in the mountain valley. There are five Clans once more and StarClan is pleased with the Clans' new home, where no twolegs make their nest and no monsters roar by on thunderpaths.

In sight of so many changes in the Clans, StarClan sent each leader a message. Every Clan should be renamed, for they truly were new Clans, living in new territory and with new cats, the first in so very long to live as five Clans. ThunderClan lived in the forest, full of so many different trees, they were renamed TreeClan. WindClan, for their speed, was renamed LightningClan. Because SkyClan lived among the fallen rocks and boulders from one of the mountains, it was renamed StoneClan. ShadowClan, because they lived among the dark pine woods where light could barely claw its way through the branches, was called NightClan. And because the Clans were going back to their old ways with five Clans, StarClan wished to signify this by renaming RiverClan and calling RainClan, for the river came from the rain just as the four originally came from the five.

Soon, the first prophecy that the five Clans must face together will be delivered:
Night will fall over the Forest
Trees will block out the Light
A mighty Storm will scatter Stone
Five fall to Four and One falls to flight
A kit finds it's mother to take up the fight
And the Mountain's peace will crumble and cease
