## **Story**

### **Backstory**

SunKit was born within SlateClan, the kit was known for being kind and supportive of their clanmates. When SunKit became SunPaw, they gained the close friendship of two cats, WrenPaw and BuzzardPaw. The three apprentices would stay close to one another and they would help each other with their tasks and assessments. SunPaw became a warrior like their friend WrenWing, and the young tom earned the name SunSpot. SunSpot, WrenWing, and BuzzardPelt kept their close friendship together, even as they grew older. SunSpot was well-trusted by his clan and was known to be a great warrior. Everything was going great for SunSpot, until one day, tragedy struck. BrightStar, SlateClan’s current leader at the time, had lost their final life and had traveled to StarClan. SunSpot and his clan knew that the deputy, HemlockSight, would become the new leader. This fact put every cat on edge as they were worried that HemlockStar would become a cruel leader due to his past behavior, so instead of asking the newly appointed deputy for advice about this situation, the cats all came to SunSpot for help. SunSpot was happy to help those in his clan who needed his help, his clanmates trusted him as a leader more than the deputy and HemlockStar himself. Over time, HemlockStar’s rule over SlateClan worsened. Many cats fled or died due to the cruel leader, which only brought some cats closer to SunSpot. SunSpot was unsure of how to better help his clan, he talked with his closest friends on how to further help his clanmates, and the group came up with the idea of taking a small group of cats, and leaving SlateClan. SunSpot gathered what cats he could find, and during sunset on one faithful day, SunSpot’s group of 11 cats fled SlateClan. SunSpot found himself in charge of the group, he would protect his group from hostile enemies, find prey for the cats, and provide training and hunting skills for the younger cats within the group. The entire group rested on SunSpot’s shoulders, and he would not let down his new family. There was a small fear that lingered in the back of his mind, however. SunSpot was afraid that he and his group had angered StarClan by betraying their loyalty to SlateClan and to HemlockStar, StarClan would punish his group by sending them all to the Dark Forest when they died. This fear always remained in his mind, but the tom didn’t tell anyone, he needed to be brave for his group. One night, the group was resting in a forest. SunSpot had found themselves within a dream, in this dream, the tom was visited by 9 StarClan cats. SunSpot begged the spirits to forgive him and his clan for breaking the warrior code by running away from their clan and their leader, but the StarClan cats declined his words. The cats told SunSpot that what he and his group did wasn’t wrong and that this whole ordeal was destined to happen, the StarClan cat DarkCreek, gave SunSpot a prophecy that she had received moons ago that predicted this event.

“Go to where the sea breeze flows, and there, the sun will lead the vulnerable to the safety of the Hollow."

DarkCreek looked down on SunSpot, she had seen his great loyalty, bravery, and his management of his group. The StarClan cat believed that SunSpot would be a great leader for his group and so, she and the other 8 StarClan cats gave SunSpot his 9 lives. SunSpot became SunStar. DarkCreek said that the prophecy was still not yet completed and that SunStar would need to complete the prophecy. The StarClan cat said that she would follow along with the group to guide spirits back to StarClan if anyone were to die on the journey, but it was up to SunStar himself to figure out and fulfill this prophecy. Once SunStar awakened from his dream, he called a meeting to inform his group of what had happened and what will be needed to be done next. SunStar lead his group further away from SlateClan territory until the group reached a beach area near the coastline of the continent. SunStar followed the breeze of the beach until he was able to find a tidal cave, and the group made their home within the cave. Once every cat was settled in, SunStar arranged his group into that of a clan system. SunStar was the leader, and he continued to train his apprentice, BurnPaw, WrenWing was appointed as deputy and was given the apprentice, HollyPaw, BuzzardPelt became the healer, and BurnPaw’s sister, FizzBop, became the messenger, WitheredSpeck became a warrior, and BirdHeart and RainSpiral remained as elders. The group decided that they would name themselves HollowClan due to the hollow tidal cave that the group lives in.
