***The ShoreClan Chronicles*** is a series written by Max. It will feature stories about ShoreClan's history, from its founding and its more modern day life. Due to the nature of the books, they can be read as either stand-alone fics or out of chronological order.

## Concept development

Max began reading the *Warriors series* in early 2012 and was completely enamoured by the original arc's world-building and setting. Around this time as well, they joined the online community for the series and began roleplaying their own characters. In early 2021, they began adapting some of their roleplay experiences and stories of their original characters into proper stories and developing a new story to tell with them.
Each featured Clan revolves around a certain aspect of an interest of Max's; ShoreClan features a society similar in structure to Orca pods, and then there is ThicketClan, which features a cast of darker characters with some influence from Norse mythology and Viking culture. Alongside Max's own Clans is FieldClan, created by one of their friends, Cooper. Due to this, FieldClan doesn't have stories featured within *The New Territories* as Max doesn't own their ideas or characters. They are featured within the universe out of respect and to align accordingly to past roleplays that inspired the stories and characters initially.
In early October, 2022, Max made the decision to focus only ShoreClan for the time being due to scope of the overall project growing too large. The newest rendition of *The New Territories* became *The ShoreClan Chronicles* and is likely to be written as a sort of field guide to introduce the reader into this new *Warriors* universe full of world-building and new lore.

#### *Hali's Home*

Hali is the eldest daughter of Caspius and Morning Sun. She is the younger sister of Ahote, and the elder sister of Lise and Moana. After their mother passed away following a long kitting, Caspius casts Hali out, being stricken with grief. The young she-cat, however, doesn't wish to leave, wanting to care for her siblings. This leads to Hali putting up a fight, but her father almost kills her, making her flee to save herself.
She hides in the Twolegplace where she meets other lone she-cats (and their kits), and develops close bonds with them all. Through their leader, Stripe, she learns more about her mother and her father. Stripe talks about her father bitterly, which boils Hali’s blood and makes her want to right wrongs. She attempts to, by herself, again fight her father but again Caspius doesn’t hesitate to almost kill her. Before he can deliver a killing blow, Fife and Stripe save her before he can. They bring her back to Twolegplace to heal, and there Fife, and Hali become close. He tries to encourage her to remain with him and his family, but she tells him she can’t as she still has her family. She explains she simply wants her kin safe, and asks if he could understand that. Fife states he does, mentioning an elder sister of his own who had been taken.
Together, Hali, Fife, and his kin, return to the shoreline and challenge Caspius. Hali and her father face off one final time, this time the fight going in Hali’s favor. She is given the chance to kill him, but she doesn’t. Instead, she chases him away, telling him to never set foot near the water again or he would regret it. With that, she is reunited with her brothers and sister. Fife and his family congratulate her on her victory. But, Hali thanks Fife for his support and that it was because of him that she had come to learn it wasn’t just the territory she wanted back - it was her family, who was in fact her home - not the beach.
