Lion´Kits life started as a lonely one. His parents never around much, only there for a simple ´goodnight´ or greeting. He spent most of his days in the nursery with his two friends, Dog´Kit and Diamond´Kit. Dog´Kit, much older than the two, was able to sneak out and bring them things like prey and moss. During a clan attack, Dog´Kit was killed while protecting Diamond´Kit, who was then taken away by the attacking clan. Thunderclan had, in Lions opinion, not grieved enough, as they had only prepared a burial, not even time for mourning, due to the tough times befalling the clan. he had grown to hate thunderclan for its constant ¨Starclan¨ excuse, and had believed that starclan had failed him, growing to even despise them.
when he became Lion´Paw, he had met 4 other apprentices who became his friends- Bubble´Paw, Feather´Paw, Turkey´Paw, and Flare´Paw. Flare´Paw had a hatred for starclan, alike Lion, but was more open about it, training in the dark forest, killing kittypets while sneaking out of the camp, etc.
Bubble was a she cat who creeped Lion out a lot. she would act weird towards lion, stuttering and staring. it was obvious she had a crush, but she went at it in a odd way, following him, threatening others, and forcing physical closeness.
it all ended when Flare had gotten word of it and killed Bubble, which was the only time Lion was glad that thunderclan had taken a shorter length of mourning/burial.
the 3 remaining apprentices felt trapped by their duties, and ran away from their clan to start anew, taking shelter in the abandoned windclan camp. Dogs were seen around the area, but it meant all the cats there were gone or dead, which was enough for them. while not that good at hunting they had begun to cannibalize the nearby windclan cats corpses until they had gotten better. Only Turkey´Paw truly enjoyed it.
They continued to hunt, even spreading their word to rouges, kittypets and other clans, until they had become true warriors at their own chosen age of 9 moons, but heavily skilled due to it being life or death.
Lion´Snarl, Flare´Scorch, Turkey´Bite and Feather´Tooth had made Flare´Scorch their leader, taking the name Flare´Star. with Feather´Tooth as his deputy, they began their work in stealing kits from other clans in the dead of night, even sometimes stealing apprentices, brainwashing them to join their cause willingly.
They created a wonderful clan with some warriors from other clans even leaving to join their movement. An elder, Ember´Heart, began to act as Lions mother. Other warriors like Blizzard´Catch, Rose´Eyes, Diamond´Jaw and Eagle´Wing joined and turned to certain roles, creating their own life in no time. Flare´Scorch was killed by the shadowclan cat Thrush´Fur who trespassed, unaware of the evil windclans rebirth. Feather´Tooth made Lion´Snarl her deputy, and thats where we are now :)
