.Blurb.
A time of great hardship has fallen upon the lake clans. After the Dark Forest battle, a new sickness rose with symptoms so awful the medicine cats unanimously named it Blackdeath. Oddly, the disease's symptoms appear almost exclusively in she-cats, with only the occasional tom suffering alongside the rest. The disease kills within a quarter moon of symptoms surfacing, a fact proven time and time again. Within two months, dozens of cats had fallen. Facing fears of obliteration (more toms were falling ill each day) medicine cats finally found a cure. The lengthy time the cure had taken had a dire cost: each clan retained only a handful of she-cats. RiverClan, where a vital herb included in the cure grew, was the clan with the least casualties of either gender. The rest weren't so lucky.
ThunderClan's future rests soley on the shoulders of two she-cats, one of which is a kit. Their reproductive future is bleak. ThunderClan will almost surely die out, unless they find more she-cats... fast.
And they'll do anything to get what they want.
.Allegiances.
