SET IN STONE
Set in Stone is the first book in the EarthQuake Series. It's spelled like that just so it'll look cool, haha
The series itself is a mix between warriors and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Set in Stone has a complicated little setting going on in there: it's very different and very original. There's four new Clans and a another little twist: some cats have amazing powers.
The four Clans are AirClan, WaterClan, EarthClan, and FireClan.
The territories together consist of a high mountain with no trees and a canyon (AirClan), a forest with rocks, boulders, and holes scattered through it (EarthClan), a denser part of the trees in which a river runs through (WaterClan), and a higher-up shadowed area of the forest with sparse trees (FireClan).
The two main characters of the story are Quakepaw, a dusty brown she-cat that lives in EarthClan, and Flurrypaw, a white she-cat with whisps of gray on her fur that lives in AirClan. Both of these she-cats have POVs and will be interacting and viewing Clan events from different angles.
A NOTE ABOUT THE PROLOGUES!
They will seem that they have absolutely nothing to do with the story, but, in fact, they do! You'll have to read Set in Stone and all of the other books to understand…
A NOTE ABOUT THE CROSSOVERS!
I don't mean to have any resemblance to the plot of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but this seems to be how it's turning out. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll attempt to throw a twist into it.
A NOTE ABOUT THE VOCABULARY!
There's kind of a strange vocabulary in here…
A Controller is a cat that can control an element, such as Air, Water, Earth, or Fire.
The Chosen one can control all four elements.
A "normal" cat is one that has no powers but is still helpful to the Clan.
The Stone Circle is the gathering place as well as the site of the moonstone for the Clan cats. The Center Stone is in the center, and when there is a Gathering, the FireClan leader lights a torch imbedded in the Center Stone to begin the meeting. There is a special stone right next to the Center Stone for the Chosen one to sit on.
The canyon is in AirClan territory—it's a canyon. There's a bit of territory on the other side that belongs to AirClan, but it separates AirClan territory from FireClan territory and is generally very helpful in training apprentices from all four Clans.
THE FOUR CLANS
The four Clans are AirClan, WaterClan, EarthClan, and FireClan.
AirClan cats are like WindClan cats. Their fur color is usually gray, white, or tannish brown. They are thin. All of these cats are Controllers. This is the ONLY Clan that has this trait.
WaterClan cats are like RiverClan cats. Their fur color is usually dark gray, blue-gray, or even the occasional white or black. They tend to be a little more plump and are very calm, due to the nature of the element they control. Not all of the cats are Controllers, but to become a medicine cat you have to be a Controller in order to heal.
EarthClan cats are like ThunderClan cats. Their fur color is usually brown or gray. They are fiercely loyal and have a complicated social system that can be summarized as "the Controllers are more important than the normal cats." This results in the leader and deputy both being Controllers, but the medicine cat usually isn't a Controller.
FireClan cats are definitely like the ShadowClan cats. They all tend to have ginger fur or the occasional ashy gray. Their leaders are all Controllers and they force the normal cats to live in separate dens. They are kind to rogues in hope that they'll join the Clan. The leader must be a Controller because of their important, if small, role in Gatherings.
THE ROLE OF STARCLAN
StarClan play a big role in the training of the Chosen one. They watch and guide the newest Chosen one in making decisions that are right for the Clans. In addition, they usually have a prophecy or two to throw in…
YOU PLAY A ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STORY, TOO!
I know it sounds silly, but I don't like posting unless I feel that you guys are going to give me feedback. I don't think it's very hard to type "Oh, I like this!" if you do or "I don't like this" if you don't. If you want to give me words of wisdom, PLEASE DO SO.
If you want to suggest a cat to me, please! Again! DO SO. I try and keep the themed names in the Clans (water-based names in WaterClan, and earthy names in EarthClan (ex. Stone, Cliff, and nature/color names).)
I'm not sure how long it's going to be… but… I hope you guys like this.
THE BLURB
In EarthClan resides a dusty brown apprentice called Quakepaw, who is training to become a Controller, a master of Earth, her Clan's art.
When something is revealed about her abilities, Quakepaw's life is turned around.
In AirClan resides a whispy white apprentice called Flurrypaw, who is also training to become a Controller of her Clan's art, which is Air.
When she meets the most powerful cat in the Clans, Flurrypaw must fight for what she believes is right, one step at a time.
At the same time, a threat that will drive the Clans into an unstoppable battle is rising- and quickly.
