Hey people )) I wanted to post this yesterday but I accidentaly closed deviantart and then when I opened it again everything I wrote was gone😀👍 gladly I made some screenies and copied everything there (please dont ask me how much I triggered when I realized.😚)
Also I did NOT reread this once again for mistakes, so expect misspellings and grammar errors.
Anyways let’s continue the lore!

Let's talk about the cats who Bloodclaw manipulated and turned into his "puppets" first!!

Thornfang: Thornfang was a simple warrior from WindClan whose best friend was Shadowash. One day, Bloodclaw's spirit came up to Thornfang and proposed to him something:
"Give me a soul and I promise to give you a forever friendship with Shadowash in return..."
Thornfang didn't take much to think and accepted the deal. He always wanted to be friends with Shadowash forever.
One day, Shadowash came up to Thornfang and invited him to keep him company in a little trip to the highstones to meet an old friend of his, Patchheart. Thornfang approved, thinking he finally found a soul to give Bloodclaw. However, on their journey to the highstones, Thornfang was unsure whether he should kill Patchheart or not. But his friendship with Shadowash was more important! Or.. was it?
When they arrived, Patchheart welcomed them with food and a shelter. Thornfang was surprisingly cold to the other tom, and Patchheart told Shadowash but he insisted that Thornfang was just nervous. One day, Patchheart went hunting, and the two "best friends" remained alone. Suddenly, Thornfang felt an uncontrollable feeling. An uncontrollable.. need. He glared at Shadowash as he was curious what was wrong with him. Thomfang killed his "best friend" with a swift slash. When he realized what he has done, he regretted it a lot. Bloodclaw lied to him. He ran away, turning into an aggressive wolf who willed to be always lonely.
When Patchheart came back, he was shocked, but knew Thornfang was the one who killed Shadowash as she smelled his scent in the air...

Stormfrost: Stormfrost was another simple warrior from ThunderClan. He loved a she-cat, but that she-cat loved someone else.. who she became mates with as well (its gonna give ashfur vibes baes). He was angered out, until Bloodclaw came and requested him:
"Give me their souls, and in return, I'll make them feel the pain they deserve."
Stormfrost was craving for revenge and immediately approved.
He killed both the tom and the she-cat, but then he was exiled from ThunderClan and he realized Bloodclaw fooled him.
He turned into a bat and out of embarrassment, he hid in the shadows and remained there...

Robinnose: Robinnose was a cat from ThunderClan as well. In his kithood, his parents preferred him more than his siblings. His siblings were annoyed while Robinnose enjoyed that. However, in their apprenticeship, his siblings got more attention and Robinnose was mostly ignored.
After their warrior ceremony, he had enough and wanted to seek for revenge. Bloodclaw offered him more attention from the other cats which surrounded him, but as always, he asked for his siblings' souls.
Robinnose killed his siblings after agreeing on Bloodclaw helping him. But then he realized Bloodclaw fooled one more cat.
Robinnose suffered 7 days and 7 nights because of his anger Bloodclaw snatched out. He twitched his last nerve.
Robinnose turned into a hawk and flew away from all the cats, being haunted by hallucinations of his siblings…

Mallowpool: Mallowpool was a RiverClan warrior. He had a brother, who was given more attention. Everyone admired him more than Mallowpool. Mallowpool was jealous of the attention he was given and always tried to impress others but they weren't interested in his skills.
When Mallowpool had enough of it, Bloodclaw promised him exactly what he promised Robinnose, and Mallowpool agreed, thinking that finally, he would be appreciated for something. But Bloodclaw asked for his brother's soul.
Mallowpool killed his brother in cruelty and was chased from RiverClan's territory by disappointed and hateful cats. Mallowpool realized Bloodclaw lied to him. He turned into a cougar and ran away in the forest as fast as possible. Now, he was even more hated...

These are his main "puppets". However, there is a cat who he tried to turn into his "puppet" but failed...
Adderstar was trapped in Bloodclaw's paws, forced to obey him and his orders to spread evilness in cats. But Adderstar always refused to do that. But how was he trapped? Well.. a long time ago, Adderstar was the leader of RiverClan. When, suddenly, a blind kit stumbled in the camp. Adderstar wondered how she arrived there but then decided to welcome her in. He named her Runningkit, and saw her as his own daughter. Warriors would always gossip, talking about how Adderstar didn't want to make Runningkit a medicine cat, but a warrior, even if she was blind. Adderstar was Runningpaw's mentor, and succeed in training her. Runningpaw received the name of "Runninghare". However, she was jealous of the cats who could see, while she was struggling with her blindness. One day, she made a deal with Bloodclaw, but always failed in giving him the souls who made her feel worthless. Because of that, Bloodclaw punished Runninghare, making her suffer. But then, Adderstar begged Bloodclaw to free her and take his soul, so Bloodclaw approved.

Now, let's ACTUALLY continue the lore.
After Grayclaw died, he was turned into one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge, who gathered apprentices, manipulated them and turned them into traitors. However, his 9 kits; Tawnyclaw, Brightspark, Shellspot, Nightclaw, Blackleg, Graysky, Cinderclaw, Smokeclaw and Fogtail, after becoming the Wardens of Bright Skies, were given powers by Darkcloud, Reedshimmer and Cloudfrost, so they could be able to protect the good cats from the dark side; Brightspark was able to heal injuried cats, Shellspot could sense others' emotions, Nightclaw could end anyone's life with his strong bite, Blackleg could sense danger around, Graysky could hear from a very big distance, Fogtail could run as fast as the quickest wind, Cinderclaw could read minds and Tawnyclaw could see the future. However, Smokeclaw wasn't given a power since Darkcloud mentioned something went wrong.
Tawnyclaw carried with her the strongest and the most dangerous power. She took a lot to master it, but could hardly handle the panic attacks she had whenever seeing the future.
Smokeclaw didn't care he wasn't given a power, he wanted to become just like his father, Grayclaw, and make him proud.
One day, Tawnyclaw met a she-cat named Snowtail. The two became good friends, and she always helped Tawnyclaw with her power. But Snowtail was just a simple cat who met Tawnyclaw by mistake. She didn't have an important role in her life, as Smokeclaw killed her as soon as she introduced herself to him.
None of Tawnyclaw, Brightspark, Shellspot, Nightclaw or Blackleg knew, only Smokeclaw's littermates; Graysky, Cinderclaw and Fogtail. But they kept quiet, even though they swore to be against the cats who joined the dark side. They still loved their brother.
Not long after, Tawnyclaw predicted the future; Where flames burn the sky, you will recognize a betrayer. At first, she was confused about it, but was about to find out what all of it was about.
Grayclaw ordered Smokeclaw to kill Tawnyclaw and her littermates, since they were all handling some special abilities in their paws. Smokeclaw approved and brought the three with him. When Smokeclaw attacked Brightspark, Tawnyclaw interfered and fought to protect her sisters. When Smokeclaw was about to win, Tawnyclaw prepared her claws and swanned them over her half-brother's back, exposing his spine. Smokeclaw died and became one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge, along with Grayclaw.
After that battle, Tawnyclaw called that technique Spine Slash.
Anyhow, the 8 siblings went far away from the clans, still watching over them so that they wouldn't bring
danger to innocent cats.
I didn't mention that Darkcloud had kits with an unknown loner, did I? Well, their names were Smokekit, Rainkit, Ryestorm and Ravenstar. Smokekit and Rainkit died when they were born, and only Ryestorm and Ravenstar survived. Darkcloud gave them away to ThunderClan, saying it was a gift from the God of Wisdom
(aka her, omg I loaf calling her "God of Wisdom" gives baddie vibes Imao). However Ravenstar (Idk abt his warrior name) became the leader of ThunderClan as the previous leader thought that it was a sign from StarClan to make him leader. Not long after tho, Ryestorm died due to a war with ShadowClan. Ravenstar was
devastated but accepted his death as he wasn't looking to form hostility between ThunderClan and ShadowClan.
A few moons later after his brother's death, two kits joined the nursery: Dapplekit and Tigerkit. Their mother disliked them and never paid any attention to what they were doing. One day, Dapplekit, as every energetic and troublemaker kit, explored the camp and bumped into a WindClan huge patrol who wanted to start war with
ThunderClan for "stealing" their prey (leaf-bare at that time). One of the WindClan warriors scraped one of the kit's eyes (yes, at that time, WindClan was breaking the warrior code multiple times).
After the war with Wind Clan (ThunderClan won), Dapplekit turned out to be half-blind. Tigerkit, his sister, was worried, and Ravenstar thought of making him a medicine apprentice since it would be hard to train with a
blind eye. However, Dapplekit insisted on becoming a warrior and that he could still train. Ravenstar gave up, and made himself Dapplepaw's mentor when he became an apprentice along with Tigerpaw.
They trained, went on hunting missions and patrols together.
One day, Dapplepaw followed a squirrel when out on training. He departed from Ravenstar, Tigerpaw and her mentor, as they scampered after him. The squirrel climbed in an old tree, but Dapplepaw still sprinted after it. However, when he tried to get in the tree, it fell with Dapplepaw to the ground.
When the three ThunderClan cats arrived at the spot, they noticed the tree fell on Dapplepaw's leg.
Ravenstar suddenly felt panic replaced his blood. Fear spread in the air surrounding the four. Dapplepaw broke his leg. Tigerpaw and her mentor helped the fellow apprentice up, but he could hardly stand up.
When they arrived in ThunderClan's camp, Ravenstar realized the medicine cat was very sick and there was no cat with the experience of a medicine cat to replace her. But he knew a loner who was passionated with herbs.
He and Tigerpaw brought Dapplepaw to Spot; a she-cat who lived all by herself at the barn. Ravenstar begged her to help them treat Dapplepaw's broken leg, and Spot did as told. However, the apprentice still limped and needed his sister's help to walk around. Ravenstar offered Spot a place in ThunderClan in return for treating Dapplepaw's broken leg and named her Spottail. When Spottail joined ThunderClan, she was always near the medicine-den, helping with the injured cats so that the medicine cat wouldn't have to work all by herself until an apprentice wished to choose the way of a medicine cat. But StarClan never accepted Spottail as
the medicine-apprentice, so she decided to be a normal warrior helping the medicine-cat. However, Ravenstar suddenly came with the idea that Dapplepaw becomes a medicine-apprentice, since he couldn't become a
warrior with a broken leg. Tigerpaw and Dapplepaw weren't satisfied with ThunderClan's leader's decision, but
the half-blind apprentice didn't have a choice.
When Dapplepaw came with the medicine-cat at the Moonstone, StarClan denied Dapplepaw, too. Was this a sign? Maybe this wasn't Dapplepaw's fate after all! He got ecstatic all of sudden. Maybe he still had a chance to prove he's worth becoming a warrior! But it would be hard with a broken leg and a blind eye.
When Ravenstar heard the news, he was surprised. But he knew that he could trust StarClan, so he made Dapplepaw a warrior along with Tigerpaw after proving his worth. And they received the names of Dappleheart and Tigerbelly.
After their warrior ceremony, Dappleheart and Tigerbelly went on a lot of adventures; helping RiverClan and offering them shelter during a flood, getting back the apprentices stolen by ShadowClan, fighting with a rogue who was trying to steal ThunderClan’s kits and much more. Ravenstar and Spottail were proud of them.
However, not long after, Ravenstar died of old age, and both Tigerbelly and Dappleheart suffered after him, so did Spottail. Spottail joined the elders’ den and also died peacefully of old age.
Dappleheart also died in a war with ShadowClan, protecting Tigerbelly’s kit she had with Blackwing; Mousepounce.

Mousepounce had a strong connection with Dappleheart in her warriorship. She had a poor eyesight, but as well not the worst. Her life was pretty simple, and she also met a tom, Bushfoot, who she had with him Cherryheart.

Cherryheart was a sweet and placid she-cat. However, when she moved in ShadowClan to become mates with Blacktear, her whole life changed; after having Hazelkit (Hazelfeather) and Tinykit (Tinyleap), Blacktear became more aggressive and was extremely hateful towards Cherryheart and their kits. He took Tinykit and left him on RiverClan’s territory so that RiverClan’s leader would take him in. When Blacktear tried to get rid of Hazelkit as well, Cherryheart confronted him and succeed to stop him.
Later on, Blacktear was hit by a monster and died. Cherryheart suffered after him, no matter how much he hurt her.
When Hazelpaw became an apprentice, she was given a kind mentor; Shadeleap. Shadeleap was like a father to Hazelpaw; when he first saw Cherryheart joining ShadowClan, he fell for her, but he knew that she loved someone else (sunstar/fall vibes???😜) and kept his feelings he formed for himself.
As well in Hazelpaw’s apprenticeship, a ThunderClan apprentice came running to ShadowClan’s camp, asking to join ShadowClan… It turned out his name was Flamingpaw.
Flamingpaw was born to Snowdash and an unknown warrior in ThunderClan, along with his littermate; Burningpaw (his warrior name is Burningpelt). However, in their kithood, Flamingpaw and Burningpaw never knew they had a sister who went missing. Their sister was born during a war with WindClan over prey, and their father who was unknown died. Anyhow, when they became apprentices, Burningpaw chose the way of a medicine-cat and Flamingpaw chose the way of a warrior. Cinderstar, who was the mother of Snowdash (Snowdash’s father is Lightingsky) decided to train Flamingpaw. But Cinderstar was very harsh and strict, and exhausted Flamingpaw a lot during their trainings. And as well, Flamingpaw was always misunderstood by everyone, except by Burningpaw; he always supported him, even though he pretty much of scolded him at times, but it was because he cared about Flamingpaw. One day, Cinderstar got a message from StarClan (IK only med cats are supposed to have a connection with starclan but in this lore its different ) about her granddaughter, and she, Snowdash, Flamingpaw and Burningpaw went on a journey to find their missing sister. They found her in a cave with shimmering stones, where she mentioned that this was the place where she could see her father. It turns out her name was Moon, and when Cinderstar brought her back in ThunderClan, she named her Skypaw (her warrior name is Skyshine). However, Skypaw and Burningpaw got along really well, and Flamingpaw was a bit jealous, because he didn’t get used to Skypaw too soon. Then, Flamingpaw decided to run away in a night, but Burningpaw caught him:
”Flamingpaw?” Burningpaw whispered. “Where are you going? It’s late and you aren’t supposed to get out of the camp without a warrior’s company.” He arched a brow in confusion.
”Listen, Burningpaw. I’m leaving ThunderClan. Tell Cinderstar that I am sorry I couldn’t do better during our trainings.” Flamingstep informed his brother with a low mew.
”You really are gonna leave? What will I do without you?” Burningpaw asked but didn’t wait for an answer. “Well, if you say so.. I wish you a smooth journey.”
”I’m sure you’ll be happier with our sister. You two seem to get along really well.” He approached Burningpaw and peered his tail over his back before turning around. He ambled away, crossing the thunderpath safely.
And then Flamingpaw left, without looking back at his brother. He found shelter for the night on ShadowClan’s territory then in the next morning he reached its camp before the dawn patrol.
Cherryheart offered to treat him like his own son, and she, Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw became like a family, as well with Shadeleap.
Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw went on trainings together and were inseparable. Not long after, Cherryheart and Shadeleap became mates (but they didn’t have kits since Cherryheart didn’t want to make Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw feel replaced).
When they became warriors they received their names; Hazelfeather and Flamingtail.
However, due to a prophecy Flamingtail and Hazelfeather had to leave ShadowClan; The ones with shadow in their blood will save the thunders and rivers.
So they decided which one will go to RiverClan and who will go to ThunderClan. Hazelfeather started a new life in ThunderClan since Flamingtail refused to go back to his family.
When Flamingtail arrived in RiverClan and was accepted in it, he spotted Tinyleap; he looked exactly the same as Cherryheart described him. He was the deputy of RiverClan. He was pretty snappy and forgetful, but Flamingtail liked his energy. However, he knew that Tinyleap wouldn’t be able to remember his biological mother and sister due to his.. poor memory.
Hazelfeather was as well accepted in ThunderClan by Cinderstar. Not long after, Cinderstar died due to an unknown sickness, and her deputy became leader.
Cherryheart was worried about Flamingfoot and Hazelfeather, but was so glad meeting them at gatherings.
But, both Flamingtail and Hazelfeather never knew what the prophecy was about.
One day, Flamingtail paced in the medicine-den to glimpse the medicine-cat depositing a few deathberries in some leaves they planned to give Tinyleap since he had white cough. He attacked the medicine-cat, trying to stop them but Tinyleap already ingested the yews and died. However, after the medicine-cat was exiled and ordered to go far away from the clans’ forest, Flamingtail was made deputy, and soon became leader. His prophecy was completed.
During that time, Hazelfeather lived simply in ThunderClan as its deputy until she saw a WindClan tom at a gathering; Smokefoot. She suddenly felt a strong feeling. Love spread in her blood and her heart boomed out of her chest. She carried an obsession for Smokefoot on her back, which was swept by the prophecy she had to complete. But, that didn’t stoo her from loving Smokefoot.
A few moons later, Smokefoot was exiled from WindClan for killing two of its apprentices. Smokefoot joined the rogues, and when Hazelfeather heard about it, she went to the barn and decided to forgive Smokefoot, since she loved him a lot.
Hazelfeather and Smokefoot became mates, and Hazelfeather didn’t really care she was breaking the warrior code, because she kept all of it a secret.
But, one day, she found out she was expecting. She told Smokefoot and he was glad about it, but Hazelfeather didn’t know what to do about it; what will ThunderClan think? She wondered in panic.
Hazelfeather told ThunderClan’s medicine-cat, Sootmist (aka Burningpelt’s apprentice), in hope she would understand, and surprisingly, she did.
When it was time, Sootmist helped Hazelfeather give birth to her kits; Reedkit, Whitekit, Frostkit and Autumnkit (Autumnbranch, anyhow if the other three kits would become warriors, they would’ve been named Reedwhisker, Whitemoth and Frostsky).
But, Smokefoot came towards Hazelfeather and uttered:
”I have an empty chest, did you forget?”
Then, Hazelfeather realized she did a mistake forgiving Smokefoot and trusting him.
Smokefoot killed all three kits; Reedkit, Whitekit and Frostkit. Sootmist stopped Smokefoot from killing Autumnkit, too, so he left Hazelfeather with her.
No one in ThunderClan thought something was wrong when Hazelfeather begged Barkfoot, a queen, to take Autumnkit as her own. Barkfoot approved, and only Sootmist and she knew about Hazelfeather’s wrong doing to love a traitor.
Not long after, Hazelfeather became the leader of ThunderClan, receiving the name of Hazelstar at the moonstone. But, she began to have hallucinations with her dead kits, and heard StarClan gossiping about her actions. But no matter what, she kept her head straight and vowed to never do the same mistake ever again.
One night, when the three; Cherryheart, Flamingstar and Hazelstar had to meet at the Waterfall of Peace, Cherryheart didn’t arrive:
”Maybe she’s late.” Flamingstar shrugged rather curiously.
”Late? It’s strange, Flamingstar. She was never late but I believe there are some chances you might be right.” Hazelstar rasped her tongue over her paw before looking back at her step-brother.
”I’m worried.” Flamingstar admitted.
Cherryheart didn’t arrive the whole night. And then, days went by, when Hazelstar and Flamingstar came to the thought Cherryheart died. They both visited ShadowClan’s camp but were kicked out immediately. Hazelstar spotted Shadeleap’s face in the crowd; it was.. a sick one. They were right, Cherryheart really did die, but, how?
Hazelstar had an awesome leadership. ThunderClan admired her way to lead.
One day, Smokefoot planned war with ThunderClan; he gathered some rogues so that he can attack.
Hazelstar woke up in the morning with fear; screams spread in the air, until she realized Smokefoot and some other cats decided to attack ThunderClan. She frowned; not in rage, but disappointment. With the same straight posture, she joined the war, helping her clanmates.
The fight was going well for ThunderClan until Hazelstar faced Smokefoot:
”I’ll make you suffer, Hazelfeather. First, killing your kits, then your mother, then destroy ThunderClan into pieces and then end your brother’s life.”
Smokefoot grinned evilly. He slashed her throat and Hazelstar cascaded to the ground. She buried her gape, but suddenly, opened it again; she just lost a life. She bloomed back on her paws and Smokefoot seemed suprirsed but still laughed. Hazelstar uttered, without trying to seem affected in front of him:
”My name is Hazelstar. ThunderClan’s loyal leader.”
She feuded before bouncing on Smokefoot and plunging her fangs into his throat, ending his life.
The rogues jogged away after ThunderClan won the war.
Hazelstar couldn’t help the fact that she still loved Smokefoot, but she had to accept the other fact that it’s a mistake to love a heartless traitor. Her prophecy was completed, to get rid of Smokefoot, who was a danger to all the clans.
Two nights after Autumnbranch’s warrior ceremony, Hazelstar felt old and weak. Sootmist tried everything on her, but it didn’t seem to work; she was on her last life anyway. Hazelstar asked Sootmist to end her life, so Sootmist nodded in sadness and gave her a few yews:
”I apologize for not being loyal to ThunderClan from the start. If I knew at that time, I wouldn’t fall for a traitor.” Hazelstar shared a tepid smile.
Sootmist nodded laggardly once again:
“ThunderClan forgives you.”
Hazelstar ate the deathberries and died. Sootmist kept it all a secret from ThunderClan, saying that she died from a sickness.
But Sootmist let Flamingstar know, and when she told him about Hazelstar’s death and his brother’s as well, Flamingstar felt bad, but promised to make his step-sister proud by leading RiverClan in her way.
Some moons later, Flamingstar became mates with Glimmeringrain. But, when she was expecting, Smokefoot killed her.
When Flamingstar found out, Smokefoot killed him as well.
Flamingstar became one of the Spirits of Faith and Hope, along with Hazelstar, Cherryheart, Burningpelt, Tinyleap and Skyshine, who willed to protect cats from the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Not long after that, Smokefoot joined Grayclaw and Smokeclaw as one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Anyhow, after Hazelstar’s death, her apprentice, Breezestar, became leader, who as well had a mate who soon died but gave birth to a kit; Snowfall. And under the same leadership, Darkenedwing was born to unknown parents along with his unknown littermates. His mother died in his apprenticeship and his father was careless. However we will come back to this later.
Again, under Breezestar’s leadership, there was a she-cat, Thunderstriker, who lived happily with Runningbreeze and was expecting. When she introduced him to her sister, Silentwind, they both fell in love with each other and Runningbreeze left Thunderstriker when she gave birth to his kits. Thunderstriker was enraged by his and her sister’s betrayal, and sought for revenge. When Runningbreeze and Silentwind had their kits, Thunderstriker invited her sister out of the camp for a little talk, and Silentwind approved. Thunderstriker led Silentwind to the snakerocks, and surprisingly, a familiar adder appeared, distratcting Silentwind (that was Smokefoot, since he was given the ability to turn into an adder). Thunderstriker took her chance and slashed her sister’s throat, then pushed her towards the adder who bit her leg and let the venom spread in her blood. Before Silentwind died, Thunderstriker whispered in her ear:
“Sweet dreams, sister…”
After that, Runningbreeze found out about Silentwind’s death and blubbered after her. But, Thunderstriker felt like it wasn’t enough to satisfy her, so she stole Silentwind’s and Runningbreeze’s kits and left them in a cave where they couldn’t find the way out and starved to death. She also fed her own kits to adders. Breezestar found out about that and exiled Thunderstriker, who was hit by a monster later on and became one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Now let’s continue with Snowfall and Darkenedwing. In their apprenticeship, they were good friends. Snowfall had a crush on Darkenedwing since then but Darkenedwing liked Frostflower. After their warrior ceremony, Darkenedwing and Frostflower became mates and had Rainedgrass, Flamingstep and Shadowkit. However, right after giving birth, Frostflower died due to an unknown sickness which surprisingly, wasn’t passed onto her kits with Darkenedwing. Darkenedwing suffered a lot after Frostflower, and Snowfall offered to be the three kits’ mother, so that they won’t have to know the truth. Darkenedwing approved but Snowfall also died from greencough some moons later, and so did Shadowkit. Darkenedwing had enough and as ThunderClan’s deputy, he decided to leave and join the kittypets. Flamingkit and Rainedkit were devastated, especially Flamingkit.
However, when Darkenedwing, Snowfall and Frostflower just became warriors, Raygleam and Tearedtributary just became apprentices; Tearedtributary was born to Autumnbranch and Craggyclaw, and Raygleam was born to Dappledfeather and Hazeleyes.
Let’s talk about Raygleam’s kithood. His littermate was Ryekit (his warrior name was supposed to be Ryebreeze before I decided he dies). Hazeleyes was also a careless and aggressive father. Dappledfeather had to suffer from his complaints. Raykit didn’t feel that much loved by his parents, but Ryekit always found a way to lighten his mood. One day, Ryekit got on Hazeleyes’s last nerve by mistake. Hazeleyes killed Ryekit right in front of Raykit. He was forced to keep quiet, and so was Dappledfeather when she found out. In his apprenticeship, Raypaw was given an awesomely kind mentor, who was one of Darkenedwing’s siblings. But, some moons later, he was hit by a monster on the thunderpath. Breezestar had to gove Raypaw another mentor, who was like his father. He exhausted him a lot during their trainings and made him do dangerous things, especially for an apprentice. Anyhow, Tearedpaw was always keeping Raypaw company and encouraged him not to mind his mentor. And as soon as Raypaw became Raygleam along with Tearedpaw who became Tearedtributary, he was glad. Raygleam and Tearedtributary’s first kit was Cinderkit (Cindertail) who was born when Flamingstep was at the end of his apprenticeship.
Flamingstep was friends with Shadedleaf and Honeyfreckle since kithood (after Snowfall died, Rainedgrass and Flamingstep were adopted by Cloudflower), and they were all a friend group with Rainedgrass, too, especially in their apprenticeship (Flamingpaw’s mentor is Raygleam, Rainedpaw’s is Thundershine, Shadedpaw’s is Frostfang and Honeypaw’s is Darkclaw). They got along really well, and tbh, it’s my favorite friend group . But, also in Flamingstep’s apprenticeship, Smokefoot manipulated him into training with him to become a traitor, and made him kill Skybreeze’s three (or two, I don’t remember) kits. However, as every scared apprentice, Flamingpaw was afraid to disappoint Smokefoot so he always did as ordered.
Cinderkit admired Flamingpaw/Flamingstep, and always did. He wanted to become just like him (flaming’s no. 1 admirer/fan smh).
When Flamingstep became a young warrior, Cinderkit became Cinderpaw, and Breezestar gave him a mentor before he retired and let Mudstar take the lead of ThunderClan. Cinderpaw was very excited about it, and Flamingstep was glad to see Cinderpaw growing up slowly.
One day, Flamingstep killed 2 of ThunderClan’s apprentices and surprisingly got away with it.
After that, a few days later, he found Shadedleaf dead. He bawled after his best friend and yelled at the sky in pain. But the question was.. who killed him? Flamingstep swore to take revenge on whoever killed his best friend.
Later on, Tearedtributary had four more kits; Frostedkit (Frostedbranch), Clearkit (Clearrain), Palekit (Palefrost) and Heatherkit (Heathershimmer). And she told Mudstar to exile Cinderpaw due to a false omen. And well, she did. Flamingstep got mad when hearing about that; Cinderpaw was just an apprentice! But still, he was forced to leave, and he joined the barn as a loner, surrounded by twolegs. And what annoyed him more, was that Raygleam did nothing about it, but just watched his son leave.
Moons passed and Rainedgrass died as well when on a border patrol, saving the sunningrocks from RiverClan cats, but ending up dead after protecting her clanmate and hitting her head on a rock. Flamingstep felt like he had enough. He suffered once again after his sister, along with Honeyfreckle. Then, Smokefoot encouraged Flamingstep, and he vowed to kill only to avenge his loved ones’ deaths.
When Tearedtributary’s and Raygleam’s other four kits became apprentices, Flamingstep took on Frostedpaw as his apprentice.
A few moons later, Mudstar exiled Flamingstep due to complaints that he might’ve been the reason for the dead cats in ThunderClan. Flamingstep admitted it with a proud posture and from that moment on, Frostedpaw swore to never become like his ex-mentor.
When Flamingstep was exiled, he fell in the river, about to drown, when two RiverClan cats saved him…

*THE LORE WILL CONTINUE!! Flamingstep’s lore is extremely long, and I mean it. I’m still writing his lore, so might take a few weeks until I finish it I PROMISE I WILL FINISH IT THIS SUMMER.*

Hey people )) I wanted to post this yesterday but I accidentaly closed deviantart and then when I opened it again everything I wrote was gone😀👍 gladly I made some screenies and copied everything there (please dont ask me how much I triggered when I realized.😚)
Also I did NOT reread this once again for mistakes, so expect misspellings and grammar errors.
Anyways let’s continue the lore!

Let's talk about the cats who Bloodclaw manipulated and turned into his "puppets" first!!

Thornfang: Thornfang was a simple warrior from WindClan whose best friend was Shadowash. One day, Bloodclaw's spirit came up to Thornfang and proposed to him something:
"Give me a soul and I promise to give you a forever friendship with Shadowash in return..."
Thornfang didn't take much to think and accepted the deal. He always wanted to be friends with Shadowash forever.
One day, Shadowash came up to Thornfang and invited him to keep him company in a little trip to the highstones to meet an old friend of his, Patchheart. Thornfang approved, thinking he finally found a soul to give Bloodclaw. However, on their journey to the highstones, Thornfang was unsure whether he should kill Patchheart or not. But his friendship with Shadowash was more important! Or.. was it?
When they arrived, Patchheart welcomed them with food and a shelter. Thornfang was surprisingly cold to the other tom, and Patchheart told Shadowash but he insisted that Thornfang was just nervous. One day, Patchheart went hunting, and the two "best friends" remained alone. Suddenly, Thornfang felt an uncontrollable feeling. An uncontrollable.. need. He glared at Shadowash as he was curious what was wrong with him. Thomfang killed his "best friend" with a swift slash. When he realized what he has done, he regretted it a lot. Bloodclaw lied to him. He ran away, turning into an aggressive wolf who willed to be always lonely.
When Patchheart came back, he was shocked, but knew Thornfang was the one who killed Shadowash as she smelled his scent in the air...

Stormfrost: Stormfrost was another simple warrior from ThunderClan. He loved a she-cat, but that she-cat loved someone else.. who she became mates with as well (its gonna give ashfur vibes baes). He was angered out, until Bloodclaw came and requested him:
"Give me their souls, and in return, I'll make them feel the pain they deserve."
Stormfrost was craving for revenge and immediately approved.
He killed both the tom and the she-cat, but then he was exiled from ThunderClan and he realized Bloodclaw fooled him.
He turned into a bat and out of embarrassment, he hid in the shadows and remained there...

Robinnose: Robinnose was a cat from ThunderClan as well. In his kithood, his parents preferred him more than his siblings. His siblings were annoyed while Robinnose enjoyed that. However, in their apprenticeship, his siblings got more attention and Robinnose was mostly ignored.
After their warrior ceremony, he had enough and wanted to seek for revenge. Bloodclaw offered him more attention from the other cats which surrounded him, but as always, he asked for his siblings' souls.
Robinnose killed his siblings after agreeing on Bloodclaw helping him. But then he realized Bloodclaw fooled one more cat.
Robinnose suffered 7 days and 7 nights because of his anger Bloodclaw snatched out. He twitched his last nerve.
Robinnose turned into a hawk and flew away from all the cats, being haunted by hallucinations of his siblings…

Mallowpool: Mallowpool was a RiverClan warrior. He had a brother, who was given more attention. Everyone admired him more than Mallowpool. Mallowpool was jealous of the attention he was given and always tried to impress others but they weren't interested in his skills.
When Mallowpool had enough of it, Bloodclaw promised him exactly what he promised Robinnose, and Mallowpool agreed, thinking that finally, he would be appreciated for something. But Bloodclaw asked for his brother's soul.
Mallowpool killed his brother in cruelty and was chased from RiverClan's territory by disappointed and hateful cats. Mallowpool realized Bloodclaw lied to him. He turned into a cougar and ran away in the forest as fast as possible. Now, he was even more hated...

These are his main "puppets". However, there is a cat who he tried to turn into his "puppet" but failed...
Adderstar was trapped in Bloodclaw's paws, forced to obey him and his orders to spread evilness in cats. But Adderstar always refused to do that. But how was he trapped? Well.. a long time ago, Adderstar was the leader of RiverClan. When, suddenly, a blind kit stumbled in the camp. Adderstar wondered how she arrived there but then decided to welcome her in. He named her Runningkit, and saw her as his own daughter. Warriors would always gossip, talking about how Adderstar didn't want to make Runningkit a medicine cat, but a warrior, even if she was blind. Adderstar was Runningpaw's mentor, and succeed in training her. Runningpaw received the name of "Runninghare". However, she was jealous of the cats who could see, while she was struggling with her blindness. One day, she made a deal with Bloodclaw, but always failed in giving him the souls who made her feel worthless. Because of that, Bloodclaw punished Runninghare, making her suffer. But then, Adderstar begged Bloodclaw to free her and take his soul, so Bloodclaw approved.

Now, let's ACTUALLY continue the lore.
After Grayclaw died, he was turned into one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge, who gathered apprentices, manipulated them and turned them into traitors. However, his 9 kits; Tawnyclaw, Brightspark, Shellspot, Nightclaw, Blackleg, Graysky, Cinderclaw, Smokeclaw and Fogtail, after becoming the Wardens of Bright Skies, were given powers by Darkcloud, Reedshimmer and Cloudfrost, so they could be able to protect the good cats from the dark side; Brightspark was able to heal injuried cats, Shellspot could sense others' emotions, Nightclaw could end anyone's life with his strong bite, Blackleg could sense danger around, Graysky could hear from a very big distance, Fogtail could run as fast as the quickest wind, Cinderclaw could read minds and Tawnyclaw could see the future. However, Smokeclaw wasn't given a power since Darkcloud mentioned something went wrong.
Tawnyclaw carried with her the strongest and the most dangerous power. She took a lot to master it, but could hardly handle the panic attacks she had whenever seeing the future.
Smokeclaw didn't care he wasn't given a power, he wanted to become just like his father, Grayclaw, and make him proud.
One day, Tawnyclaw met a she-cat named Snowtail. The two became good friends, and she always helped Tawnyclaw with her power. But Snowtail was just a simple cat who met Tawnyclaw by mistake. She didn't have an important role in her life, as Smokeclaw killed her as soon as she introduced herself to him.
None of Tawnyclaw, Brightspark, Shellspot, Nightclaw or Blackleg knew, only Smokeclaw's littermates; Graysky, Cinderclaw and Fogtail. But they kept quiet, even though they swore to be against the cats who joined the dark side. They still loved their brother.
Not long after, Tawnyclaw predicted the future; Where flames burn the sky, you will recognize a betrayer. At first, she was confused about it, but was about to find out what all of it was about.
Grayclaw ordered Smokeclaw to kill Tawnyclaw and her littermates, since they were all handling some special abilities in their paws. Smokeclaw approved and brought the three with him. When Smokeclaw attacked Brightspark, Tawnyclaw interfered and fought to protect her sisters. When Smokeclaw was about to win, Tawnyclaw prepared her claws and swanned them over her half-brother's back, exposing his spine. Smokeclaw died and became one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge, along with Grayclaw.
After that battle, Tawnyclaw called that technique Spine Slash.
Anyhow, the 8 siblings went far away from the clans, still watching over them so that they wouldn't bring
danger to innocent cats.
I didn't mention that Darkcloud had kits with an unknown loner, did I? Well, their names were Smokekit, Rainkit, Ryestorm and Ravenstar. Smokekit and Rainkit died when they were born, and only Ryestorm and Ravenstar survived. Darkcloud gave them away to ThunderClan, saying it was a gift from the God of Wisdom
(aka her, omg I loaf calling her "God of Wisdom" gives baddie vibes Imao). However Ravenstar (Idk abt his warrior name) became the leader of ThunderClan as the previous leader thought that it was a sign from StarClan to make him leader. Not long after tho, Ryestorm died due to a war with ShadowClan. Ravenstar was
devastated but accepted his death as he wasn't looking to form hostility between ThunderClan and ShadowClan.
A few moons later after his brother's death, two kits joined the nursery: Dapplekit and Tigerkit. Their mother disliked them and never paid any attention to what they were doing. One day, Dapplekit, as every energetic and troublemaker kit, explored the camp and bumped into a WindClan huge patrol who wanted to start war with
ThunderClan for "stealing" their prey (leaf-bare at that time). One of the WindClan warriors scraped one of the kit's eyes (yes, at that time, WindClan was breaking the warrior code multiple times).
After the war with Wind Clan (ThunderClan won), Dapplekit turned out to be half-blind. Tigerkit, his sister, was worried, and Ravenstar thought of making him a medicine apprentice since it would be hard to train with a
blind eye. However, Dapplekit insisted on becoming a warrior and that he could still train. Ravenstar gave up, and made himself Dapplepaw's mentor when he became an apprentice along with Tigerpaw.
They trained, went on hunting missions and patrols together.
One day, Dapplepaw followed a squirrel when out on training. He departed from Ravenstar, Tigerpaw and her mentor, as they scampered after him. The squirrel climbed in an old tree, but Dapplepaw still sprinted after it. However, when he tried to get in the tree, it fell with Dapplepaw to the ground.
When the three ThunderClan cats arrived at the spot, they noticed the tree fell on Dapplepaw's leg.
Ravenstar suddenly felt panic replaced his blood. Fear spread in the air surrounding the four. Dapplepaw broke his leg. Tigerpaw and her mentor helped the fellow apprentice up, but he could hardly stand up.
When they arrived in ThunderClan's camp, Ravenstar realized the medicine cat was very sick and there was no cat with the experience of a medicine cat to replace her. But he knew a loner who was passionated with herbs.
He and Tigerpaw brought Dapplepaw to Spot; a she-cat who lived all by herself at the barn. Ravenstar begged her to help them treat Dapplepaw's broken leg, and Spot did as told. However, the apprentice still limped and needed his sister's help to walk around. Ravenstar offered Spot a place in ThunderClan in return for treating Dapplepaw's broken leg and named her Spottail. When Spottail joined ThunderClan, she was always near the medicine-den, helping with the injured cats so that the medicine cat wouldn't have to work all by herself until an apprentice wished to choose the way of a medicine cat. But StarClan never accepted Spottail as
the medicine-apprentice, so she decided to be a normal warrior helping the medicine-cat. However, Ravenstar suddenly came with the idea that Dapplepaw becomes a medicine-apprentice, since he couldn't become a
warrior with a broken leg. Tigerpaw and Dapplepaw weren't satisfied with ThunderClan's leader's decision, but
the half-blind apprentice didn't have a choice.
When Dapplepaw came with the medicine-cat at the Moonstone, StarClan denied Dapplepaw, too. Was this a sign? Maybe this wasn't Dapplepaw's fate after all! He got ecstatic all of sudden. Maybe he still had a chance to prove he's worth becoming a warrior! But it would be hard with a broken leg and a blind eye.
When Ravenstar heard the news, he was surprised. But he knew that he could trust StarClan, so he made Dapplepaw a warrior along with Tigerpaw after proving his worth. And they received the names of Dappleheart and Tigerbelly.
After their warrior ceremony, Dappleheart and Tigerbelly went on a lot of adventures; helping RiverClan and offering them shelter during a flood, getting back the apprentices stolen by ShadowClan, fighting with a rogue who was trying to steal ThunderClan’s kits and much more. Ravenstar and Spottail were proud of them.
However, not long after, Ravenstar died of old age, and both Tigerbelly and Dappleheart suffered after him, so did Spottail. Spottail joined the elders’ den and also died peacefully of old age.
Dappleheart also died in a war with ShadowClan, protecting Tigerbelly’s kit she had with Blackwing; Mousepounce.

Mousepounce had a strong connection with Dappleheart in her warriorship. She had a poor eyesight, but as well not the worst. Her life was pretty simple, and she also met a tom, Bushfoot, who she had with him Cherryheart.

Cherryheart was a sweet and placid she-cat. However, when she moved in ShadowClan to become mates with Blacktear, her whole life changed; after having Hazelkit (Hazelfeather) and Tinykit (Tinyleap), Blacktear became more aggressive and was extremely hateful towards Cherryheart and their kits. He took Tinykit and left him on RiverClan’s territory so that RiverClan’s leader would take him in. When Blacktear tried to get rid of Hazelkit as well, Cherryheart confronted him and succeed to stop him.
Later on, Blacktear was hit by a monster and died. Cherryheart suffered after him, no matter how much he hurt her.
When Hazelpaw became an apprentice, she was given a kind mentor; Shadeleap. Shadeleap was like a father to Hazelpaw; when he first saw Cherryheart joining ShadowClan, he fell for her, but he knew that she loved someone else (sunstar/fall vibes???😜) and kept his feelings he formed for himself.
As well in Hazelpaw’s apprenticeship, a ThunderClan apprentice came running to ShadowClan’s camp, asking to join ShadowClan… It turned out his name was Flamingpaw.
Flamingpaw was born to Snowdash and an unknown warrior in ThunderClan, along with his littermate; Burningpaw (his warrior name is Burningpelt). However, in their kithood, Flamingpaw and Burningpaw never knew they had a sister who went missing. Their sister was born during a war with WindClan over prey, and their father who was unknown died. Anyhow, when they became apprentices, Burningpaw chose the way of a medicine-cat and Flamingpaw chose the way of a warrior. Cinderstar, who was the mother of Snowdash (Snowdash’s father is Lightingsky) decided to train Flamingpaw. But Cinderstar was very harsh and strict, and exhausted Flamingpaw a lot during their trainings. And as well, Flamingpaw was always misunderstood by everyone, except by Burningpaw; he always supported him, even though he pretty much of scolded him at times, but it was because he cared about Flamingpaw. One day, Cinderstar got a message from StarClan (IK only med cats are supposed to have a connection with starclan but in this lore its different ) about her granddaughter, and she, Snowdash, Flamingpaw and Burningpaw went on a journey to find their missing sister. They found her in a cave with shimmering stones, where she mentioned that this was the place where she could see her father. It turns out her name was Moon, and when Cinderstar brought her back in ThunderClan, she named her Skypaw (her warrior name is Skyshine). However, Skypaw and Burningpaw got along really well, and Flamingpaw was a bit jealous, because he didn’t get used to Skypaw too soon. Then, Flamingpaw decided to run away in a night, but Burningpaw caught him:
”Flamingpaw?” Burningpaw whispered. “Where are you going? It’s late and you aren’t supposed to get out of the camp without a warrior’s company.” He arched a brow in confusion.
”Listen, Burningpaw. I’m leaving ThunderClan. Tell Cinderstar that I am sorry I couldn’t do better during our trainings.” Flamingstep informed his brother with a low mew.
”You really are gonna leave? What will I do without you?” Burningpaw asked but didn’t wait for an answer. “Well, if you say so.. I wish you a smooth journey.”
”I’m sure you’ll be happier with our sister. You two seem to get along really well.” He approached Burningpaw and peered his tail over his back before turning around. He ambled away, crossing the thunderpath safely.
And then Flamingpaw left, without looking back at his brother. He found shelter for the night on ShadowClan’s territory then in the next morning he reached its camp before the dawn patrol.
Cherryheart offered to treat him like his own son, and she, Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw became like a family, as well with Shadeleap.
Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw went on trainings together and were inseparable. Not long after, Cherryheart and Shadeleap became mates (but they didn’t have kits since Cherryheart didn’t want to make Hazelpaw and Flamingpaw feel replaced).
When they became warriors they received their names; Hazelfeather and Flamingtail.
However, due to a prophecy Flamingtail and Hazelfeather had to leave ShadowClan; The ones with shadow in their blood will save the thunders and rivers.
So they decided which one will go to RiverClan and who will go to ThunderClan. Hazelfeather started a new life in ThunderClan since Flamingtail refused to go back to his family.
When Flamingtail arrived in RiverClan and was accepted in it, he spotted Tinyleap; he looked exactly the same as Cherryheart described him. He was the deputy of RiverClan. He was pretty snappy and forgetful, but Flamingtail liked his energy. However, he knew that Tinyleap wouldn’t be able to remember his biological mother and sister due to his.. poor memory.
Hazelfeather was as well accepted in ThunderClan by Cinderstar. Not long after, Cinderstar died due to an unknown sickness, and her deputy became leader.
Cherryheart was worried about Flamingfoot and Hazelfeather, but was so glad meeting them at gatherings.
But, both Flamingtail and Hazelfeather never knew what the prophecy was about.
One day, Flamingtail paced in the medicine-den to glimpse the medicine-cat depositing a few deathberries in some leaves they planned to give Tinyleap since he had white cough. He attacked the medicine-cat, trying to stop them but Tinyleap already ingested the yews and died. However, after the medicine-cat was exiled and ordered to go far away from the clans’ forest, Flamingtail was made deputy, and soon became leader. His prophecy was completed.
During that time, Hazelfeather lived simply in ThunderClan as its deputy until she saw a WindClan tom at a gathering; Smokefoot. She suddenly felt a strong feeling. Love spread in her blood and her heart boomed out of her chest. She carried an obsession for Smokefoot on her back, which was swept by the prophecy she had to complete. But, that didn’t stoo her from loving Smokefoot.
A few moons later, Smokefoot was exiled from WindClan for killing two of its apprentices. Smokefoot joined the rogues, and when Hazelfeather heard about it, she went to the barn and decided to forgive Smokefoot, since she loved him a lot.
Hazelfeather and Smokefoot became mates, and Hazelfeather didn’t really care she was breaking the warrior code, because she kept all of it a secret.
But, one day, she found out she was expecting. She told Smokefoot and he was glad about it, but Hazelfeather didn’t know what to do about it; what will ThunderClan think? She wondered in panic.
Hazelfeather told ThunderClan’s medicine-cat, Sootmist (aka Burningpelt’s apprentice), in hope she would understand, and surprisingly, she did.
When it was time, Sootmist helped Hazelfeather give birth to her kits; Reedkit, Whitekit, Frostkit and Autumnkit (Autumnbranch, anyhow if the other three kits would become warriors, they would’ve been named Reedwhisker, Whitemoth and Frostsky).
But, Smokefoot came towards Hazelfeather and uttered:
”I have an empty chest, did you forget?”
Then, Hazelfeather realized she did a mistake forgiving Smokefoot and trusting him.
Smokefoot killed all three kits; Reedkit, Whitekit and Frostkit. Sootmist stopped Smokefoot from killing Autumnkit, too, so he left Hazelfeather with her.
No one in ThunderClan thought something was wrong when Hazelfeather begged Barkfoot, a queen, to take Autumnkit as her own. Barkfoot approved, and only Sootmist and she knew about Hazelfeather’s wrong doing to love a traitor.
Not long after, Hazelfeather became the leader of ThunderClan, receiving the name of Hazelstar at the moonstone. But, she began to have hallucinations with her dead kits, and heard StarClan gossiping about her actions. But no matter what, she kept her head straight and vowed to never do the same mistake ever again.
One night, when the three; Cherryheart, Flamingstar and Hazelstar had to meet at the Waterfall of Peace, Cherryheart didn’t arrive:
”Maybe she’s late.” Flamingstar shrugged rather curiously.
”Late? It’s strange, Flamingstar. She was never late but I believe there are some chances you might be right.” Hazelstar rasped her tongue over her paw before looking back at her step-brother.
”I’m worried.” Flamingstar admitted.
Cherryheart didn’t arrive the whole night. And then, days went by, when Hazelstar and Flamingstar came to the thought Cherryheart died. They both visited ShadowClan’s camp but were kicked out immediately. Hazelstar spotted Shadeleap’s face in the crowd; it was.. a sick one. They were right, Cherryheart really did die, but, how?
Hazelstar had an awesome leadership. ThunderClan admired her way to lead.
One day, Smokefoot planned war with ThunderClan; he gathered some rogues so that he can attack.
Hazelstar woke up in the morning with fear; screams spread in the air, until she realized Smokefoot and some other cats decided to attack ThunderClan. She frowned; not in rage, but disappointment. With the same straight posture, she joined the war, helping her clanmates.
The fight was going well for ThunderClan until Hazelstar faced Smokefoot:
”I’ll make you suffer, Hazelfeather. First, killing your kits, then your mother, then destroy ThunderClan into pieces and then end your brother’s life.”
Smokefoot grinned evilly. He slashed her throat and Hazelstar cascaded to the ground. She buried her gape, but suddenly, opened it again; she just lost a life. She bloomed back on her paws and Smokefoot seemed suprirsed but still laughed. Hazelstar uttered, without trying to seem affected in front of him:
”My name is Hazelstar. ThunderClan’s loyal leader.”
She feuded before bouncing on Smokefoot and plunging her fangs into his throat, ending his life.
The rogues jogged away after ThunderClan won the war.
Hazelstar couldn’t help the fact that she still loved Smokefoot, but she had to accept the other fact that it’s a mistake to love a heartless traitor. Her prophecy was completed, to get rid of Smokefoot, who was a danger to all the clans.
Two nights after Autumnbranch’s warrior ceremony, Hazelstar felt old and weak. Sootmist tried everything on her, but it didn’t seem to work; she was on her last life anyway. Hazelstar asked Sootmist to end her life, so Sootmist nodded in sadness and gave her a few yews:
”I apologize for not being loyal to ThunderClan from the start. If I knew at that time, I wouldn’t fall for a traitor.” Hazelstar shared a tepid smile.
Sootmist nodded laggardly once again:
“ThunderClan forgives you.”
Hazelstar ate the deathberries and died. Sootmist kept it all a secret from ThunderClan, saying that she died from a sickness.
But Sootmist let Flamingstar know, and when she told him about Hazelstar’s death and his brother’s as well, Flamingstar felt bad, but promised to make his step-sister proud by leading RiverClan in her way.
Some moons later, Flamingstar became mates with Glimmeringrain. But, when she was expecting, Smokefoot killed her.
When Flamingstar found out, Smokefoot killed him as well.
Flamingstar became one of the Spirits of Faith and Hope, along with Hazelstar, Cherryheart, Burningpelt, Tinyleap and Skyshine, who willed to protect cats from the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Not long after that, Smokefoot joined Grayclaw and Smokeclaw as one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Anyhow, after Hazelstar’s death, her apprentice, Breezestar, became leader, who as well had a mate who soon died but gave birth to a kit; Snowfall. And under the same leadership, Darkenedwing was born to unknown parents along with his unknown littermates. His mother died in his apprenticeship and his father was careless. However we will come back to this later.
Again, under Breezestar’s leadership, there was a she-cat, Thunderstriker, who lived happily with Runningbreeze and was expecting. When she introduced him to her sister, Silentwind, they both fell in love with each other and Runningbreeze left Thunderstriker when she gave birth to his kits. Thunderstriker was enraged by his and her sister’s betrayal, and sought for revenge. When Runningbreeze and Silentwind had their kits, Thunderstriker invited her sister out of the camp for a little talk, and Silentwind approved. Thunderstriker led Silentwind to the snakerocks, and surprisingly, a familiar adder appeared, distratcting Silentwind (that was Smokefoot, since he was given the ability to turn into an adder). Thunderstriker took her chance and slashed her sister’s throat, then pushed her towards the adder who bit her leg and let the venom spread in her blood. Before Silentwind died, Thunderstriker whispered in her ear:
“Sweet dreams, sister…”
After that, Runningbreeze found out about Silentwind’s death and blubbered after her. But, Thunderstriker felt like it wasn’t enough to satisfy her, so she stole Silentwind’s and Runningbreeze’s kits and left them in a cave where they couldn’t find the way out and starved to death. She also fed her own kits to adders. Breezestar found out about that and exiled Thunderstriker, who was hit by a monster later on and became one of the Spirits of Vainglory and Revenge.
Now let’s continue with Snowfall and Darkenedwing. In their apprenticeship, they were good friends. Snowfall had a crush on Darkenedwing since then but Darkenedwing liked Frostflower. After their warrior ceremony, Darkenedwing and Frostflower became mates and had Rainedgrass, Flamingstep and Shadowkit. However, right after giving birth, Frostflower died due to an unknown sickness which surprisingly, wasn’t passed onto her kits with Darkenedwing. Darkenedwing suffered a lot after Frostflower, and Snowfall offered to be the three kits’ mother, so that they won’t have to know the truth. Darkenedwing approved but Snowfall also died from greencough some moons later, and so did Shadowkit. Darkenedwing had enough and as ThunderClan’s deputy, he decided to leave and join the kittypets. Flamingkit and Rainedkit were devastated, especially Flamingkit.
However, when Darkenedwing, Snowfall and Frostflower just became warriors, Raygleam and Tearedtributary just became apprentices; Tearedtributary was born to Autumnbranch and Craggyclaw, and Raygleam was born to Dappledfeather and Hazeleyes.
Let’s talk about Raygleam’s kithood. His littermate was Ryekit (his warrior name was supposed to be Ryebreeze before I decided he dies). Hazeleyes was also a careless and aggressive father. Dappledfeather had to suffer from his complaints. Raykit didn’t feel that much loved by his parents, but Ryekit always found a way to lighten his mood. One day, Ryekit got on Hazeleyes’s last nerve by mistake. Hazeleyes killed Ryekit right in front of Raykit. He was forced to keep quiet, and so was Dappledfeather when she found out. In his apprenticeship, Raypaw was given an awesomely kind mentor, who was one of Darkenedwing’s siblings. But, some moons later, he was hit by a monster on the thunderpath. Breezestar had to gove Raypaw another mentor, who was like his father. He exhausted him a lot during their trainings and made him do dangerous things, especially for an apprentice. Anyhow, Tearedpaw was always keeping Raypaw company and encouraged him not to mind his mentor. And as soon as Raypaw became Raygleam along with Tearedpaw who became Tearedtributary, he was glad. Raygleam and Tearedtributary’s first kit was Cinderkit (Cindertail) who was born when Flamingstep was at the end of his apprenticeship.
Flamingstep was friends with Shadedleaf and Honeyfreckle since kithood (after Snowfall died, Rainedgrass and Flamingstep were adopted by Cloudflower), and they were all a friend group with Rainedgrass, too, especially in their apprenticeship (Flamingpaw’s mentor is Raygleam, Rainedpaw’s is Thundershine, Shadedpaw’s is Frostfang and Honeypaw’s is Darkclaw). They got along really well, and tbh, it’s my favorite friend group . But, also in Flamingstep’s apprenticeship, Smokefoot manipulated him into training with him to become a traitor, and made him kill Skybreeze’s three (or two, I don’t remember) kits. However, as every scared apprentice, Flamingpaw was afraid to disappoint Smokefoot so he always did as ordered.
Cinderkit admired Flamingpaw/Flamingstep, and always did. He wanted to become just like him (flaming’s no. 1 admirer/fan smh).
When Flamingstep became a young warrior, Cinderkit became Cinderpaw, and Breezestar gave him a mentor before he retired and let Mudstar take the lead of ThunderClan. Cinderpaw was very excited about it, and Flamingstep was glad to see Cinderpaw growing up slowly.
One day, Flamingstep killed 2 of ThunderClan’s apprentices and surprisingly got away with it.
After that, a few days later, he found Shadedleaf dead. He bawled after his best friend and yelled at the sky in pain. But the question was.. who killed him? Flamingstep swore to take revenge on whoever killed his best friend.
Later on, Tearedtributary had four more kits; Frostedkit (Frostedbranch), Clearkit (Clearrain), Palekit (Palefrost) and Heatherkit (Heathershimmer). And she told Mudstar to exile Cinderpaw due to a false omen. And well, she did. Flamingstep got mad when hearing about that; Cinderpaw was just an apprentice! But still, he was forced to leave, and he joined the barn as a loner, surrounded by twolegs. And what annoyed him more, was that Raygleam did nothing about it, but just watched his son leave.
Moons passed and Rainedgrass died as well when on a border patrol, saving the sunningrocks from RiverClan cats, but ending up dead after protecting her clanmate and hitting her head on a rock. Flamingstep felt like he had enough. He suffered once again after his sister, along with Honeyfreckle. Then, Smokefoot encouraged Flamingstep, and he vowed to kill only to avenge his loved ones’ deaths.
When Tearedtributary’s and Raygleam’s other four kits became apprentices, Flamingstep took on Frostedpaw as his apprentice.
A few moons later, Mudstar exiled Flamingstep due to complaints that he might’ve been the reason for the dead cats in ThunderClan. Flamingstep admitted it with a proud posture and from that moment on, Frostedpaw swore to never become like his ex-mentor.
When Flamingstep was exiled, he fell in the river, about to drown, when two RiverClan cats saved him…

*THE LORE WILL CONTINUE!! Flamingstep’s lore is extremely long, and I mean it. I’m still writing his lore, so might take a few weeks until I finish it I PROMISE I WILL FINISH IT THIS SUMMER.*
