MoonClan's ambitious story/(1): The First Four Leaders/0

## Prologue: Beginning of the Mountain Clans

### Preface 1: Ancestry

The Mountain Clans' ancestry is mostly mountain lions. A few cats adventuring happened to meet these creatures and made friends with them. The group consisted of tom-cats Flame, Wisdom, Sand, Flight, Falcon & Claw, and she-cats Bright, Amber, Flutter, Light & Horizon. They lived on the mountains for a couple of seasons before Bright happened to fall in love with one of them, Rock Slide.

Rock Slide & Bright happened to have kits. The mountain lions started mixing with the cats pretty soon after that. All eleven cats never left the mountains before their death, and their descendants stayed as well. Soon, the pure-bred mountain lions were no more, also.

### Preface 2: Clan leaders

Several years later, three cats, Moon, Adder & Snow all came together because of a prophecy. It was leaf-bare at the time, and cats started dying. The tribe thought of migrating, but a lot of cats were too ill to go on a journey out of the mountains.

Moon was supposed to be the charmer of the prophecy. She was usually very calm and would lead the group well if it seems to start falling apart.

Adder was the fighter of the prophecy. He was pretty good at fighting & hunting, both verbally & physically, but he also liked to eat as well.

Snow was the thinker of the prophecy. She was pretty intelligent and knew where things go, and how to deal with problems very well.

Then all three of them eventually got dreams of them being in Clans and being organized after they got into Clans, and the group being saved from disaster.

They went through some trouble, both between themselves and with the group, but after a long time, they managed to sort part of the group into Moon's Clan. All three of them changed their names to the leader names, as they became the leaders, and named the Clans after them, and tried to bring their Clans to new-leaf in a good condition.

All three succeeded, and with the new, organized system, the Mountain Clans managed to be saved.

### Preface 3: Clan troubles

At some point, Adderstar got jealous at the size of MoonClan, and apparently, Snowstar was, too.

The two Clans partnered together to bring down MoonClan, and make it have a lower population, but Moonstar was the most faithful in StarClan, so StarClan urged the two leaders to stop.

Snowstar realized that, too, and said that they couldn't fight MoonClan. This made Adderstar angry and made his Clan start fighting with her Clan, too.

At one point, the fighting got so intense, some cats went over to MoonClan. Moonstar was welcome to them and accepted them. Once again, Snowstar tried to agree with Adderstar about fighting with MoonClan, until a dead AdderClan warrior told her not to once again, and tried to tell his leader, too.

Snowstar again said no, and Adderstar got even more angrier. Snowstar decided to make amends with Moonstar, and their Clans both joined together as a single force which nearly wiped out AdderClan. Almost all the AdderClan cats ran to either MoonClan or SnowClan.

Adderstar seemed to learn his lesson, but he made an enemy of both Clans. MoonClan & SnowClan became allies.

Later, Adderstar vowed to get revenge on both Clans. He had many mates and trained all his children & Clanmates about bloodshed.

Tons of battles waged out, but with SnowClan and MoonClan allying, they never won, but they murdered a lot of people.

### Preface 4: Aftermath

Many moons later, Snowstar died, and her great-niece (and former apprentice), Briarfoot, became leader. But in her leadership, SnowClan wasn't that close to MoonClan anymore.

Briarstar had no tolerance for enemies, hated any disloyal warriors, and punished any wrong-doing cats severely.

Many seasons had passed since the creation of the Clans, but MoonClan & SnowClan no longer were allies, as they grew too far apart. However, AdderClan hadn't forgotten their enemies, and regularly attacked them and sent spies and fighting patrols out.
