ThornClan Trilogies: A Broken Hearts Alternate Universe

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.**\*\***

## Notice

**\*\*Seeing that this alternate universe is indeed an alternate universe, there have been a few alterations to the canonical characters. These primary changes narrow down on Frozen Heart, who is provided the chance of redemption later on in the series. This is unfortunately not a canonical event.**

**Furthermore, there are references to territory landmarks, which do not exist in the canonical roleplay. Some of these landmarks include:**

* The twolegplace.
* A cavern in the mountains.
* The Lightning Tree (a reference to a true event).

## Arc v.1

### Context

Lily was the housecat of a sweet old lady, and she lived with her mother, Mongoose. Her father is referenced to be a rogue, though it is unclear what had happened to him. When Lily was still young, her owner's daughter(s) attempted to get her declawed, in fear of those sharp pointy things jutting out of a feline's paws. In the long run, the act failed, but left young Lily with a few missing claws. Tragically, Mongoose soon passed away after this had occurred. And even after that, the sweet old lady who had cared for her and Lily passed away as well. Lily was devastated, staying near the home in which she had been raised in. Afraid of the future, and concerned about whatever might occur next, she didn't dare move from that old house. And so she remained there. But she had to move on, and so that's exactly what she did.

### Into the Thicket

Mongoose had taught her daughter a thing or two about hunting, despite Lily's missing claws. And so the young cat put it to good use. Well, she tried, at least. After moving away from her old dwelling, she made her way into the woods, keeping her mother's warnings about the rogues in mind. Not very far into the forest, she spotted a pheasant, which she promptly began to stalk. Unbeknownst to her, however, there was a low hanging branch between her and the feathery beast. And so she leapt for the bird, soon awkwardly getting her collar snagged in the low-hanging branch, choking her. Panicked, she called out for help, struggling to breathe against the collar pressing into her throat. Very fortunately for her, a young tom cat by the name of Twilight (TCT) had been nearby. He rushed over, spotting Lily struggle against the.. pickle.. she had got herself into. The she-cat immediately mistakes him for a rogue, scratching at her collar harder and harder in order to escape the soon-to-be wrath of the so-called rogue, Twilight.

The young tom then rushes off, calling for his siblings Lilac and Stitch, who also happened to be nearby. Eventually, Stitch and Twilight free Lily from the grasp of her collar, much to Lilac's disgust. But although the two free the young she-cat, they don't let her run off right away. Stitch right away accuses her of having ties with the rogues, which she rightly denies having. However, after some time of bickering, Lily soon lunges for Lilac, who had been advocating against her rescue (and sassing her off too, might I add). Stitch steps in, breaking up the two she-cats before they both do something they regret. Long story short, after a lot of arguing and ridicule the four finally decide to band together for the sake of their own survival, beginning to grow a relationship between each other, one of trust and of loyalty.

### The Brothers

Soon after this encounter, the four newly "befriended" cats made their way over to the other side of the twolegplace that crossed through the area, running into two young toms, one being exceedingly small (and having a cat mustache, mind you), and the other quite the opposite. The two introduce themselves as brothers, despite it being quite obvious, seeing that the two looked so similar in fur and eye color, and also introduced themselves as Sunny and Shorty. Shorty is warm towards the newcomers, while Sunny is exceedingly skeptical of them. But despite any conflict that may have arose between the six, the brothers did eventually give in and join the now growing movement of loners.

### A Brewing Storm

However, now that they have grown in size, they soon found that territory would become a necessity out in a wilderness such as this. And so, after travelling deeper and deeper into the woods, they eventually did come across a quaint strip of land quite far off from where they previously had settled near. It was decently hidden, having a covering of a grove of trees surrounding them on every side, and lengthy blades of grass jutting from the earth. But a strange scent lingered by. One that will haunt them for generations to come.

You see, dear reader, if there is one thing a loner who was raised near this area would know, it would be to never, ever, mess around with Frozen Heart's rogues. Territorial, manipulative, and extremely dangerous, these cats have a well earned reputation, and one that they'd like to keep. Well, that's more of a description of Frozen Heart himself, rather than his pawns. And the newly formed ThornClan have heard of rogues, but they didn't exactly know where they were located and such. Of course, this all changed all too quickly.

After settling into their new land, the young ThornClan began to notice scent markers near the edge of their borders, and soon met the culprit behind them.
