BlazingClan

## Introduction/Tour

Welcome to BlazingClan! I am Blazestar, the leader, of course. BlazingClan is a group of many cats, who are strong, fierce, brave, and loyal. We live by the lake, along with the four original Clans. Part of our camp is on a hill. Our camp is big, which is fitting since we have so many cats. The warriors' den is near the entrance. It is a few holly bushes put together, making it very big. The apprentice den is just close by. It is made out of a bramble thicket. The entrance and the inside is tall enough so the apprentices won't get poked. The elders' den is next to the apprentice den, and is made out of a bramble thicket, as well. On the other side of the camp, we have the nursery. It is a yew bush with added brambles which make it larger. My den is in the bottom of the hill, in a cave-like place. The entrance is guarded by lichen. The medicine cat's den is next to mine. It is like my den, except it is bigger. Not too far from the medicine cat's den is the CrystaledRock. It is a big rock that is very much like a crystal. I use it mostly when I call meetings. The rock is sacred to us. The CrystaledRock has given our medicine cat many omens. We thank StarClan for their gift... The last place of the camp is on the opposite side of the warriors' den. It is where our... "guests" usually stay. Fortunately, we do not have to use the pris---guest den very often. The den is in the bottom of another tree, far from the nursery. That is our wonderful camp! The home us BlazingClan cats love so much.

## ~ A New Home ~

The moon was high in the sky. It was big and full, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. The island was filled with many cats. Three of the leaders were waiting in the branches of a big tree. Suddenly, a loud caterwaul was heard as a small group of cats poured out from the trees.

A light brown tabby climbed up the big tree. He nodded to the leaders, his voice was a bit cold. "I... apologize for WindClan being late."

"It is alright, Onestar. Now that you're here we can finally begin." A blue-gray she-cat meowed.

Onestar twitched his tail, and Mistystar yowled to let all the cats know that the Gathering had begun.

But before any of the leaders could speak, a tortoise-shell with a tan-ish underbelly screeched. "I scent cat!"

"Foxpaw, hush!" Her mentor, Littlecloud, scolded her. "Of course, you scent cat! Will you look around you?"

Foxpaw shook her head, her gaze stretching toward the tree bridge. "This doesn't smell like any of the Clans."

Most stared at Foxpaw, but others followed her gaze and tasted the air. "She's right. I smell it, too." More murmurs of agreement spread throughout the area as more and more cats smelled the unfamiliar cat scent. The murmurs stopped when a cat popped out from the trees.

"Just one?" Foxpaw looked confused. "It smells like a..." She drifted off as a ton of cats followed the first one.

The Clan cats' eyes were wide as they looked at this giant group come into the area. The first cat held up its tail, and the ones behind it, halted. The golden she-cat with white paws practically screeched so that everyone on the island could hear. "Are you the four Clans that live by this lake?"

The leaders in the big tree looked at each other. A dark tabby tom with amber eyes answered the cat. "Why do you need to know?"

The she-cat turned to her group of cats, taking the tom's reply as a yes. "At last, we have found what we have been looking for!" Yowls of triumph spread throughout the group. The she-cat turned back to the cats on the island. "Greetings! I am Blazestar, leader of BlazingClan! We have come a long way to find you."

Shocked voices began to grow in the area. A dark ginger tom hushed them. "Are you telling us that you're a Clan?"

"Of course!" Blazestar's eyes were bright as she responded. "StarClan sent us to the lake! We have traveled very far to get here." Blazestar continued to stare at the leaders.

"Why has StarClan sent you to the lake?" Mistystar questioned.

Blazestar hesitated before answering. "That answer is still unknown. StarClan guided us here. They said we would be safer."

"Did BlazingClan live in our old forest home?" Bramblestar asked, looking interested.

"No, we did not."

"I don't know about you three, but I'm tired of shouting," Rowanstar meowed, looking at each of the other leaders.

"And I'm tired of listening to it," Onestar grumbled.

"I have an idea. Why don't we end the Gathering and talk to Blazestar? We can let our deputies lead the way back to our camps." Bramblestar's tail twitched as he spoke.

Onestar shook his head in disgust. "You want to TALK to that fool down there? She claims that StarClan sent them here, but how can we be sure?"

"Onestar is right. We don't know if we can trust her." Rowanstar agreed.

"I know that, but... I think she's telling the truth. I mean, look at all the cats Blazestar brought with her!"

Onestar rolled his eyes, but Rowanstar and Mistystar seemed to think things over.

"Alright," Mistystar meowed finally. "Let's talk to her. Let's see what she really wants."

"What?" Onestar was shocked. "You can't be serious? How could you end a Gathering to talk to a strange cat and her so-called Clan?"

"If StarClan doesn't want us to talk to her, then they would have covered the moon." Bramblestar meowed, then he looked back toward Blazestar. He shouted. "Blazestar, we have agreed to speak to you!"

"I haven't agreed to anything," Onestar hissed at him.

Bramblestar ignored him and continued to speak. "Deputies, please bring everyone back to your camps. The medicine cats will stay behind as well as three other warriors we choose."

The Clan cats looked confused but they did as they were told. Blazestar instructed her deputy to wait beside the tree bridge. Her medicine cat stayed behind, along with the three warriors she chose: Grayheart, Badgerclaw, and Redstone. It didn't take long for the other leaders to choose whom they wanted. The four leaders sat in front of the big tree with their medicine cat(s) and three warriors. Blazestar was a few fox-tails in front of them.

"So, why are you *really* here?" Rowanstar questioned her.

"I am here because StarClan sent us to this lake. They want this magnificent place to be our new home."

"New home?" Onestar looked shocked, but he hid it beneath a mocking tone.

"Has StarClan told you their reason for that?" Mistystar asked.

"No, they have not. I believe it was to keep us safe."

"From what were they trying to keep you safe?"

"That's none of your business!" A black tom with a big, white stripe hissed at Bramblestar.

"Badgerclaw, don't be rude. They have a right to know why we came. This is their home." Blazestar slightly scolded him.

"And it *will* be our home, too." Badgerclaw's eyes glinted as he spoke.

Blazestar blinked at the leaders. "We had issues with a group of rouges, as well as a Two-leg problem... The rouges were a minor threat, that is, until the Two-legs came to destroy everything. The Two-legs had driven us out of our home with their big yellow monsters. The rouges started stealing our prey and killing our Clanmates." Blazestar's eyes clouded.

"That reminds me of us..." Leafpool, ThunderClan's medicine cat, murmured.

"All I ask is that you respect StarClan's wishes and let us stay. We do not need a very big piece of territory. We will work with what you give us."

The leaders looked at one another. "Give us a moment to discuss it," Rowanstar said, hesitantly. The leaders and their cats got in a small circle and started whispering.

Blazestar turned to her cats.

"Do you think they'll let us stay?" Grayheart asked, with a cold glance at the leaders.

"They have to! StarClan wouldn't send us here if it were for nothing," Scarletlily meowed.

"And if they don't let us join," Grayheart unsheathed her claws. "Then, we'll fight for our place here."

Badgerclaw grunted his agreement.

"Fighting will not be necessary. Have faith in your ancestors," Blazestar meowed, her tone was cool. Her gaze was on Redstone. He seemed to be only paying attention to the circle of cats. His eyes flickered to every movement. Blazestar saw his green eyes land on one cat in particular. They rested their for a long time. Blazestar's eyes narrowed, slightly. She was about to open her mouth, when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. She turned a bit to see Grayheart and Badgerclaw batting at each other with their paws. "Oh, yes. We'll make a good impression on them if you keep doing that," Blazestar meowed sarcastically. "For catmint's sake, knock it off! You both are senior warriors."

Badgerclaw and Grayheart stopped mid-swipe, and immediately went back to sitting still. Both of their gazes were to the ground. "Sorry," they mumbled.

Blazestar sighed and Scarletlily snorted with amusement. "How is Brokensoar doing?" Blazestar asked as she turned toward the medicine cat.

"He's not doing very well..." Scarletlily replied, her ears flattened. "He's going to join StarClan soon."

Badgerclaw and Grayheart dipped their heads.

"I'm so sorry, Scarletlily. We all know how much you loved your mentor."

"You shouldn't be sorry for me. All of us will soon lose a great medicine cat." Scarletlily's mew was quiet.

Blazestar was about to open her mouth to speak, when Redstone meowed: "They're done."

The group turned to see the four Clan leaders padding toward them.

"Blazestar, we have decided," Bramblestar meowed after they reached her.

"And we have all agreed that you and your Clan can stay." Mistystar finished for him.

Blazestar's eyes glowed with happiness. "Oh, thank you so much!"

Onestar was grumbling to himself, but the other three leaders meowed a "Your welcome."

"Now, we know this isn't a lot, but Onestar and I have given you a very small piece of our territory," Mistystar told Blazestar.

"That will have to do. Thank you again." Blazestar meowed, gratefully.

Blazestar and her small group began to pad away. They reached the rest of their Clan and told them the good news. Onestar, Mistystar, and their warriors went with BlazingClan to show them where the new border marks will be. The two leaders then went to their own Clans.

The BlazingClan cats looked around their new territory. They settled in a slightly big clearing. They made all the dens and put moss in them. Blazestar went around checking on everyone's progress.

Suddenly, their was a bright light. When the light dimmed, Blazestar began to pad toward it. It was a big rock, not like anything she had seen before. The rock seemed to shine, and its surface was smooth.

Scarletlily padded toward it. Her yellow eyes appeared to be glowing like the rock. Blazestar watched as the medicine cat stood right in front of it. Scarletlily froze in her place for a moment. Blazestar could tell that she was receiving a message from StarClan.

The BlazingClan cats, who had stopped what they were doing, waited to see what would happen next.

Scarletlily turned around to face the Clan, and her voice was bright as she spoke. "StarClan has made it clear to me! We have finally made it to our new home!"

The BlazingClan cats cheered, their excitement boiling over. Blazestar looked to the stars above, sighing with relief.
