~ The Remaining ~
“First the twelve will branch off from the one, and then the twelve will be cut in two. Their journey will lead them following the last light of each day until the stars fall.” – Birchstar; former leader of VeilClan
~ Intro ~
Lightning flashed across the sky, branching off each other and blinding the dark clouds surrounding them across the sky like fresh claw wounds on a creature's flesh. Thunder rumbled after, louder even than a Thunderpath, drowning out the constant pitter-patter of the rain splashing across earth, leaf, stone, and fur. But the most frightening noises of all were the huge yellow monsters, towering above the camp and nearly as high as the trees themselves; and the countless Twolegs, some possessing giant claws on their paws that bit through trees as easy as a cat sunk its teeth into its prey. They bellowed at each other, as if commanding and receiving orders, and they and their monsters all worked together like a tremendously destructive nest of ants to rip the trees from the ground and to toss them many fox-lengths away.
Daisystar rallied her clanmates together, each racing through the camp entrance to escape the carnage happening all around them. Several warriors, apprentices, and the medicine cat had not been accounted for - and it was too dangerous to turn back now. Daisystar feared there may be more casualties down the line - but not if she got the remainder of her Clan out alive and to safety.
"This way, to Rock Mouth!" she called, doubting that her voice would be heard among the panicking cats. There was a nearby cave they could seek shelter in. Their ancestors had decided to not make it their camp due to the number of large cracks and chasms that existed in and around the cave - but even that would be safer now than here.
"To Rock Mouth! Hurry!" VeilClan's deputy, Rowanflame ordered.
Daisystar looked at him fondly for a heartbeat. He had always been by her side - even when his mate, Duskheart, died of a rat bite that had got infected - he had remained one of the most loyal, determined, and confident cats in VeilClan. He would make a great leader one day.
If he lives...
Daisystar immediately pushed the thought away. She had to get her Clan to safety. She would have to worry about the injuries and the missing cats later.
The injuries? How would they treat them without a medicine cat?
Again, she shook her head and cleared her mind. She would have to contemplate that later. First they had to get to Rock Mouth.
She and Rowanflame led the way to Rock Mouth. They would have no idea if any of the cats had fallen behind in all the confusion. Even this far from camp, the sounds of Twolegs were as loud as before. Perhaps even louder, as if they were following them.
StarClan, help us! she willed.
But it was when they made it to Rock Mouth had their luck reached their lowest point.
"The way in... It's blocked!" one of the warriors called out.
"Rockpelt, Amberfur, Frogtail, help us move some of these boulders!" Daisystar called out among the crowd.
Her three strongest warriors clambered up the small, abrupt slope and began heaving boulders out of the way and forming a nearby pile, one by one. But then the entrance to the cave collapsed one again, destroying their hard-fought work. And then Daisystar's ears once again became alert of the Twolegs. She could hear them approaching...
Suddenly, more than a dozen Twolegs appeared out of the bushes, some with the giant claws, and others with strange, unnaturally shiny dens in their paws. They appeared to be made from some kind of web.
Instantly the Clan rallied, pouncing on the Twolegs and biting and scratching them from all angles, which roared in pain at their injuries. But for every Twoleg brought down, more and more came, grabbing cats and viciously throwing them into the weird dens and trapping them inside.
StarClan, give us the strength to fight off these Twolegs! Daisystar prayed in horror.
But StarClan did not answer her call.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This story follows the group of cats who weren't accounted for in the Twoleg attack - who barely escaped the camp in a newly made hole in the bramble wall on the opposite side from the traditional opening. They don't know it yet, but they are the last of members of VeilClan - the others having been killed in the disaster or captured by Twolegs, who were clearing the area to build a new Twolegplace.
The group of survivors - who, after learning the hard truth from (the now dead) Daisystar in their dreams, decided to be known only as "the Remaining" - wander the world for many moons, believing StarClan had abandoned them. Only when Brookstar, Birchstar, and even Daisystar - three former leaders of VeilClan - visit them all in the waking world, is their hope and faith restored. Birchstar prophesised that "first the twelve must branch from the one, and then the twelve will be cut in two. Their journey will lead them following the last light of each day until the stars fall.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[* SPOILERS: THE MEANING BEHIND THE PROPHECY *]
The first part of the prophecy says that the twelve will branch off from the one. "The twelve" relates to the Remaining, and "the one" refers to their former Clan, VeilClan. The following segment dictates that the twelve must be cut in two (referring to the Remaining splitting into the two parties). The final part says they will find their [homes] when the stars fall. This event is a meteor shower.
(Note that the plot isn't written in the stars! Please do use your imagination and help this story evolve! The basic plot written above is only the seed; our goal is to nurture it into a blossoming, flourishing plant, metaphorically speaking.)
~ Available Positions ~
The Remaining consists of 12 cats - 6 warriors, 2 apprentices, 1 medicine cat, his/her medicine cat apprentice, a queen expecting kits, and an elder. The positions currently available (below) are as follows:
WARRIORS (*3): OPEN
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Name: Scorchfire
Gender: Tom
Age: 3 season cycles (or 36 moons)
Allegiance: The Remaining; VeilClan (formerly); * AshClan (future)
Rank: Warrior; *Leader (future)
Appearance: Scorchfire is a medium sized cat with relatively powerful shoulders, and fair sized paws tipped with claws as black as coal. A very long, thin tail helps balance him to maximum effect while running, and long, nimble limbs coupled with a lithe build enables him to run exceptionally fast for long distances. The inspiration for his name partially originated from his stunning eyes, which are as orange as flame. However, the color of his fur played an equal part for the reason of his chosen identity: he has a sleek, very dark blue (virtually black) pelt with a white patch on his chest. In addition, Scorchfire has a black nose, long black whiskers, “average” ears, and a good-looking face
Personality: Scorchfire's loyalty, bravery, intelligence, and courage cannot be denied. He sticks to the warrior code almost as strong as a she-cat protecting her kits. (Note unlike many Clan cats.) However, despite having helped lead his Clan to victories many times with his fiery spirit -encouraging them to challenge the impossible - he is often too overconfident, often challenging Daisystar, despite only being a young warrior. Nonetheless, he is one of the most negatively affected when he and rest of the Remaining learn they are the last of VeilClan, his confidence all but gone. However, as time progresses, his self-assurance returns, and is chosen by StarClan as the future leader of AshClan. (Even within VeilClan, he was often viewed by his Clanmates as potential future deputy and leader.) Scorchfire is also often impatient and has a short temper, making a big deal out of almost anything. He also has little patience for kits and their “meaningless, irritating antics. Nonetheless, the cats see through the tough side he chooses to display, and see him for what he truly is: a loyal, honest, fearless, smart, and even kind warrior who would do anything to make sure his Clan is always safe and having nothing to fear
Mate/Crush/Kits: Open
Additional Facts (Below):
- Scorchfire is among one of the best fighters in VeilClan, having mastered many advanced moves and showing a great deal of experience despite his relatively young age
- He was oddly born with no sense of smell; therefore, his other senses have been increased (especially sight), but it also means he cannot hunt; this frustrates him constantly
- His mother and father died when he was young; his mother was hit by a monster, and his father died of blackcough only two moons later. He has no siblings or other relatives, making Scorchfire the only cat with his family’s bloodline left in VeilClan
- He always refused to take a mate - he later revealed this was because he "didn't want to lose anyone else", thus again showing his softer side he often hides
- Scorchfire is afraid of the water and even of the dark (although he doesn't like to admit it openly!)
