Epigraph |
THUNDER, WIND, RIVER, SHADOW, AND STAR:
The Clans
The story of the beginning of the warrior Clans has been passed down by cats of all Clans, from elder to warrior, from warrior to apprentice, form queen to kit. The story is never the same twice, and parts grow uncertain, or they become suddenly clear in the telling. There are some cats who walk dimly, their names and deeds list in the sweet fog of the elders' den, for the warrior Clans have roamed the forest for moons beyond counting. . . . (p 9)THUNDERCLAN
Firestar on ThunderClan
I am Firestar. Welcome to ThunderClan--the Clan of courage and loyalty. I was not a forest-born cat, but ThunderClan welcomed me, and once I proved myself as a warrior, they grew to respect me. I have risen to become their leader and I would lay down all nine of my lives for my Clan, just as my Clanmates would lay down their lives form me and for each other. There is no other Clan in the forest so true or so brave. I respect and admire the other Clans, but my heart is here, with ThunderClan-- the Clan of heroes, the Clan of compassion, the Clan of destiny. (p 27)WINDCLAN
Tallstar on WindClan
Welcome. I am Tallstar, and this is WindClan-- a Clan that has known great suffering, but always survives. We ar the fleet-footed warriors of the moor, the fastest Clan in the forest. We have struggled through terrible hardship. but we never give up. I know the other Clans sometimes see us as weak . . . but the truth is, they could not last a moon in the broad, open spaces we live in, chasing rabbits for our prey. We are the closest Clan to StarClan, spiritually and physically, and we always know our warrior ancestors are watching over us. That is what makes us strong. No matter what trials we must endure, WindClan will last forever. (p 40)RIVERCLAN
Leopardstar on RiverClan
There is a Clan unlike any other--a Clan with all the strength, brilliance, and beauty of water. Welcome to RiverClan. I am Leopardstar, the leader here. Can you hear the river? In its flowing current you can see what makes us the greatest Clan in the forest. Nothing can stand against the force of water, just as nothing can defeat RiverClan warriors when we rise up together. But when trouble comes, RiverClan knows how to weave through the dangers, adapting to the changed world, just as the river flows around rocks and over waterfalls. We are grace. We are power. We are RiverClan (p 55)SHADOWCLAN
Blackstar on ShadowClan
Greetings. I am Blackstar. You must be brave indeed, to approach the territory of ShadowClan. Few are welcome here, In our world of secrets and darkness. We are a Clan of cunning and cleverness, a Clan well suited to the shadows and the cold north wind. No other Clan can walk to paths of night like we do. Other Clans may be faster or stronger, but we are the most dangerous warriors: fierce, proud, and independent. We are ruthlessly willing to do what it takes to protect our great Clan. There won't be any softhearted alliances here! ShadowClan will always be the dark heart of the forest. (p 107)DEPUTIES
"I say these words before the body of Redtail, so that his spirit may hear and approve my choice. Lionheart will be the new deputy of ThunderClan." (p 108)APPRENTICES
"By naming apprentices, we show that ThunderClan will survive and remain strong. Birchkit, from now on you will be know as Birckpaw. . . . Ashfur, you are ready for an apprentice. You will be birch paw's mentor." (p 110)WARRIORS
"Brackenpaw, you warned the Clan today, and you fought bravely in the battle," Bluestar meowed. "It is time for you to become a warrior." (p 115)ELDERS
"Goldenflower, is it your wish to give up the name of warrior and go to join the elders?" "It is." "YOur Clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon StarClan to give you many seasons of rest." (p 130)MEDICINE CATS
"Leafpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from the rivalry between Clan and Clan, and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?" "I do." "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Leafpaw, from this moment you will be known as Leafpool." (p 159)MYTHOLOGY
Every Clan has its legends--the great adventures of its warrior ancestors, passed dow through the generations. But all the Clans share the stories of the ancient, giant, gold-pelted cats who once ruled the forest. LionClan had flowing manes, like the rays of the sun. LeopardClan were swift; they had black spots on their pelts like racing paw prints. TigerClan were flame- colored night hunters, with black stripes like shadows flickering across their fur and the darkness of night in their souls. The giant cats are gone now, but they have passed down special talents to their descendants, the warrior cats. | |
