ThornClan Trilogies: A Quick Summary

**\*\*Here is where you could find a more detail-oriented summary of this alternative universe of the *Broken Hearts* roleplay: Click Here!**

Welcome to the *ThornClan Trilogies*, a fan made alternate universe created by an outside roleplay source, that over the one to two years it has existed has gone through major plot alterations and has eventually become its own story. The creator of this story is a friend (River) of the roleplay's fouder, Moonee/Moony, from outside of social media.

**\*\*Author's note:** As I am Moonee, and not the owner of this storyline, my take on the story may not be entirely factual; I'd have to confirm the contents of this article with River herself. Though as of this time, the contents of this article have not yet been confirmed.**\*\***

## Arc v.1

**\*\*All events are listed by bullet point.\*\***

### The Thicket

* Lily makes her way into the forest.
* While hunting, Lily gets her collar snagged on a branch, choking her.
* Twilight (TCT) finds her, calling out to his littermates, Lilac and Stitch, for help.
* Lilac resists the idea, while Stitch jumps in to assist.
* Lily is freed, though is bitter towards Lilac, who she promptly lunges for after the slightly older cat ridicules her.
* After arguing, the four cats decide to stick together for at least the night.

### The Brothers

* The four make their way back to the twolegplace, coming across two brothers, Shorty and Sunny.
* They both volunteer to join the forming group.

### A Brewing Storm

* After wandering around for a little while, the six decide to go ahead and look for some territory.
* They choose a spot, but it's directly next to Frozen Heart's turf.
* Frozen Heart is unappreciative of their coming near him and his rogues, and threatens that if they don't join up with him and give up the land, he would start a war with them.
* The young ThornClan is taken aback, not agreeing to his terms, and keeping the territory, as they did not feel entirely threatened by him at the time.
* More cats join the group, including Dragonfly.
* The group hails Stitch as the first leader.

### Peace No More

* With now around ten or so cats, the group is now running steadily and functionally.
* Lily goes on a sole patrol one day, likely attempting to hunt, but not wanting any cat to see her hunting flaws.
* Near the border between the group and Frozen Heart, she finds a small den, hearing kit mewls from inside of it.
* She finds four newly orphaned kits, namely Fox, Hollow, Ace, and Willow, hiding in a small corner of the den, claiming to have seen a big scary white cat (referencing Frozen Heart) enter their den and take the lives of their parents.
* Lily is rightly horrified, ushering the loner kits to ThornClan's camp, stricken with panic.
* Lilac, the newly declared healer of ThornClan, volunteers to care for them. Sunny wishes to help, due to him liking Lilac.
* Lily reports what had happened to Stitch, and he decides to check out the den for himself.
* He too draws the conclusion that it was Frozen Heart, and now realizes what danger they had gotten into.

### Can't Be Negotiated With

* Even with more and more cats pooling into the new group, Stitch continues to fear for his campmates' safety, feeling unworthy of leadership. Despite this, he makes plans to attempt to negotiate peace with the neighboring rogues.
* No one takes this plan well.
* Stitch asks Lily to become the true leader of ThornClan. She accepts, but she wishes to stay in the background.
* Frozen Heart visits ThornClan's camp, making the assumption that Lily was the leader.
