Darkness shall emerge
From a legend long spoken,
When blood feeds the river
For a past promise broken
Through the blaze of the fire
Through the mist of the rain
Through the guilt of the battle
Through a heart full of shame,
Through an ocean of tears
And a mountain of pain,
A silhouette is sighted
Of a warrior with no name
He will ravage the forest
Turn predator to prey,
And bend the four oaks
With a price hard to pay
Only the blood of the fallen
Their flesh and their bone,
Can restore the five clans
And return them their throne.
In English:
A cat from the legend of LionClan, LeopardClan, and TigerClan -- a leopard, shall emerge, but he is the dark 'version', during a great battle in which the river will run with blood. The cause of this battle is a promise that has been broken - but long ago in the past.
During a fire while it's raining, the cat who caused the battle regrets everything, and sights the silhouette of a giant cat upon a hill.
The cat is a leopard, and will bring more of his kind and ravage the forest, preying upon the cats. He bends the four oaks, meaning defeat the four clans during a gathering, and demand a high price -- a sacrifice of cats for food, otherwise he will kill with force.
Only the blood of the fallen -- the clans are the fallen, and their blood is BloodClan. Can drive away the dark leopards and return the five clans (the four clans and StarClan... or the four clans and BloodClan?) to their rule over the forest as apex predator.
What the Prophecy Doesn't Say:
The battle takes place because there was an old romance between a tom and a she-cat, and the tom promised the she-cat that he would protect her and love her forever. But the tom fell for another cat, and left the first one. She was devastated, and left her clan and joined BloodClan. Eventually, she made it as their leader. Wanting revenge, she attacks her old clan since the tom she used to love became the leader. The other clans come to their aid, and a huge battle is fought.
The tom escapes the battle for a little, and feels horrible about all of the bloodshed. He sees the leopard. The dark leopard will pretend to help the four clans against BloodClan when he first arrives, and with his help the four clans defeat BloodClan. They don't think of him as the prophecy cat, since he helped them, but only the tom knows. He tries to convince them but no one believes him.
The leopard suddenly reveals his true self during a gathering, leaping onto the GreatRock(and if the player of the tom wants, he can be killed once or for good). He demands that a cat must be sent to him every day for his meals or he and his three companions will attack. They are much bigger, and everyone is frightened. Knowing that his demand is high and the cat population will diminish, the leopard also declares that any she-cat who is not heavy with kits in two months will be brutally killed.
The leopard then sets out to conquer the only place he hasn't yet gotten a grip on -- the twolegplace, which includes the kittypets and BloodClan. BloodClan is furious with their defeat, but their she-cat leader is clever. She pretends to welcome the leopard, which confuses him, and offeres an alliance. When they are talking, cats ambush him and attack. His three companions had been asked to stay away during the private discussion, and they were offered a meal while they were waiting: rabbits stuffed full with poppy seeds, since deathberries smelled too strongly for the leopard's enhanced sense of smell. They became drugged and sleepy, so while a war waged on with the leader, the rest of the clan attacked the leopard.
Despite the precautions and drugging, the leopards were still winning. Many cats died, and a BloodClan apprentice goes to run for help. The rest of the four clans come and aid them, and finally drive the leopards off, killing the leader. At the end of the battle, the tom finds the BloodClan she-cat dead on the ground, her side ripped completely open and her bones showing (their flesh and their bone...)
[[It's up to the player of the tom what to do next, he can suicide, or live on, etc.]]
Prophecy Cats Needed:
-A female leader of BloodClan
-A male leader of another Clan
-A dark leopard
I am taking suggestions and revisions of this plot, I thought the entire thing up [[including the poem]] while I was lying in bed last night, so there might be flaws. XP
Auditions for the parts will be held when more members come.
I love ideas. And demanding changes aren't too bad, either.
Why would the medi cats and leaders predict working together with Bloodclan, when so many other prophecies name Starclan as the fifth clan.
