Forum:The Clans' Beginning: My Theory

Ok, time for me to post my theory about how the Clans came into existance. You will know part of it if you read the beginning of secrets of the clans, but how did the cats came into the forest? and how did the cats that died in that battle at fourtrees know about clans if they were just rogues? Note that this is only a theory, but based on the blurb of long shadows, i think that at least a mousetail of this is true.

Back in the time of LionClan, TigerClan, and LeopardClan, there was a great disaster in the forest. The first Twolegs had come (back then, they were just cavemen), and they drove the Clans out. The Clans fled to the lake, where they took different territories around it. Over time, they evolved into modern day cats and became tribes: LeopardClan became the Tribe of Rushing Water, LionClan became a second tribe, let's call it the tribe of falling rocks, and TigerClan became a third tribe, called the tribe of tall trees. They called StarClan the tribe of endless hunting. Over time each of the tribes became bigger and bigger, until they all were about 5 times the size of the Great Clans, and there was peace. At the time that Rock was healer of the tribe of falling rocks (there is evidence he was a healer in secrets of the clans), there was a great disaster evolving Twolegs, similar to the one that happened at the time of the great clans. The tribe of rushing water fled to the mountains, and the tribe of tall trees fled somewhere in the south, but Rock had gotten the idea of building the tunnels, so his tribe hid there. Rock, who was devistated by the loss of his friends from the other tribes, shunned the tribe customs, calling himself by the name he had as a prey-hunter/cave-guard, and forming the hunters and guards together to become sharpclaws, but eventually the whole tribe was wiped out from the water in the tunnels. The tribe of rushing water, who had made there home in the mountains, still kept there customs, but forgot about the other tribes. The tribe of tall trees eventually seperated, and became rogues. The tribe of endless hunting decided to bring them back to the forest, and called all of the descendants of the tribe cats to there. After the battle at fourtrees, they told the dead cats about their ancestors and to become the new StarClan. Then the tribe of endless hunting went to watch over the remains of the tribe of rushing water. Sorry about taking so long, but this could work--75.31.209.65 01:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
