The Sacred Clans of StarClan: Dark Times

It was such a long time ago...

The great Clans of the forest were at the time flourshing. With strong leaders and warriors, it seemed the Clans would live for eons more. But then the tradgic event whiped the thought from existance.

Some rouges passed through the Clan area. At first, nothing was thought of them, until the medicine cats saw they were sickly. Instantly, the rouges were driven away from the Clan territory, in fear their sickness would pass on. Unfortunately, it was too late. The first to contract the disease were the kits in the nursery, since they are so prone to illness for their under-developed immune system. Next, elders fell ill, which shortly died afterwards. Kits soon became a rare sight. Medicine cats worked tirelessly trying to find a antidote for this monsterous sickness, one even worked itself to its death.

For many moons, the disease worked its way around the Clans, killing cats in its wake. Few survived, and most of the survivors became rougues. However, StarClan never gave up on the Clans. To some loyal Clan cats that still chose to follow the warrior code, StarClan sent a prophecy:

Although the stars have darkened,
The blood river runs dry,
Those who follow its path,
Will find themselves to die,

But to those who follow the stars,
Will see a light afar,
And those who follow it,
Will have the Clans once more.

So the loyal cats followed the trail of stars in the sky, and soon they arrived at a new home, free from disease. There, they created the Clans, with StarClan once again watching them. However, that was many moons ago, more than one can count, and trouble once again arrives for the Clans. Disasters are happening frequently, and the days seem to be short. Is StarClan trying to push them away? Or was the remake of the Clans never meant to be...?
