Prologue

The wind blew gently as two cats stood looking at the horizon. A large white cat, her coat glimmering as the fading sunlight danced on her long pelt, her eyes were the ice blue of the sky in Leaf Bare. Her auds flickered as a large ebony tom with short fur walked up to her, his eyes shimmered with an beautiful pirate gold.

"You wanted to hold a meeting Lifestar?" The tom rasped his voice sounded as if it was once bold.

"Yes Deathstar, so many have died and went to Starclan, too many, we need to reunite the cats and lay down laws," the female spoke to the ebony male who was called 'Deathstar'.

"There seem to be two genres of the cats, some seem to enjoy power and strength, along with ambition, the others seem to enjoy peace, liberty, and seem to try to keep themselves united," the male inquired resting on his haunches and wrapping his thin tail over his large black paws.

"Should we send an omen, or shall we confront them ourselves?" The she cat asked, her auds shoved forward as if she knew nothing would, or could attack her from behind.

"We might be able to make more of a… Point…" The male started unsheathing his claws with a deadly glint in his golden optics, he continued, his voice sharp "if we confront them ourselves, we might be more assured to get their attention and they will do what is better for their own sanity." The female nodded and with a whisk of her tail, she padded towards a nearby tunnel, followed by Deathstar and walked through, with each step, the luminant grass beneath her paws made a brighter imprint with each step, while the males grew darker.

With each passing step, their glistening fur started to blow from the wind coming from the end of the tunnel.

A burst of light from the direction they were headed caused the two felines to squint, "we're nearing the Mortals land," Lifestar spoke, "it's been so long, hasn't it?"

"Very," he grumbled.

They stepped onto the smooth grass, the sound of hissing and spitting caught their ears, thousands of cats fought to the death, clawing each other, slamming bodies to the ground, dead bodies littered the blood stained ground. Fury rose in both the cats from the above.

"Enough!" They shouted in unison, their powerful voices boomed in the clearing, thunder snapped around them, lightning struck the murderous frey, causing the attention to the felines to turn their heads, ears pinned flat to their heads in fear, their hackles rising vibrantly.

"W-who a-are you?!" A bold grey tom with black stripes cascading down his back his eyes were gold like deaths, spoke, his voice clear, though he stuttered trying to keep fear from his voice.

"I am Deathstar, or Death himself, ruler of the dark forest and proud to be so," The black cat's voice roared.

"And I am Lifestar! I am life! I rule StarClan," she announced, standing taller and raising her head high, both the cats easily towered the mortal's, stars flickered on her iridescent fur, "we have seen many of your own cats spirits come to us, kits, elders, the young, because of selfishness. From now on, there will be two clans, and two clans alone."

"No more bloodshed is needed for the large expanse of territory you have claimed as your own," Deathstar hissed.

"You will split up based on how you think, act and what you believe should be in a clan," Lifestar instructed.

"H-how do w-we know y-your telling the truth," the same tom spoke again.

"I don't know Adam, what do you think?" Lifestar asked the tom. The tom named Adam's optics widened in disbelief. "We can make thunder crackle," she paused, Deathstar smirked lashing his tail, thunder boomed into the clearing, "we can make lightning strike," she purred, her eyes flashed dangerously, a bolt of lightning shattered the grey clouds around them and struck a large pine tree, causing it to burst into flames.

The larger cats turned to a quieter cat behind them, "Suzaku, you will lead one of the two clans, you're wise, noble, honest, can handle situations well and have mercy, gather, those like you and head to the sparse forest, my lightning has created the borders of your new territory, you may not hunt, or leave those boundaries, the resources you need to survive are in that land," the white she cat announced.

Death turned towards Adam, "you… Are a cat capable of leading a clan, you are ambitious, powerful, strong with speech, cunning and when you must be, brutal, you chose to ally yourself with strong but naive cats and are great with battle tactics," he spoke, Adam stood tall "you will live in the marshes and pines down there, once again you may only hunt in your own region and stay there, you have the resources you need to survive there, gather other cats like you and start your clan." Deathstar commanded, Adam nodded.

The cats began finding the leaders that suited them most, and after a bit, they all settled in the categories that they thought they belonged in. All of the cats that had joined Millenium were like him, they were brutal when needed, cunning, great with battle tactics, they liked the idea of power. They had mostly dark colored coats with Golden eyes few were white but still had black markings. Except for a lone one who was bright blonde, he had black markings as well but he was the one who stood out the most. There were barely any young ones, they were all more than six moons, that was for sure.

The cats on Suzaku's side were all shades, sizes and colors, young and old. They looked like they had their own powerful abilities but looked mainly kind and understanding.

They all had their own abilities, both Adam's clan and Suzaku's clan. Powerful abilities, that are meant, only to withstand the others.

"You," Deathstar turned to Adam "your clan will be called the Noahclan. Respect your boundaries and your own resources to survive," Lifestar turned her head to face Suzaku's clan.

"Your clan will be Soulclan, respect the boundaries and use your own resources to survive," she said, her voice was soft and pleasant.

"As warriors, you will survive by a code. This code is essential for survival. Defend your Clan with your life. You may have friendships in other Clans, but your loyalty must only lie in your Clan. Do not hunt or trespass on other Clan territory. The rule is broken when traveling two fox-lengths of the lake. Elders, Kits, and Queens must be fed before Warriors and Apprentices. Unless they have permission, Apprentices' may not eat until the Elders have been fed. If any cat is sick or injured, they eat beforehand. Prey is to be killed to be eaten only. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. A kit must be at least six moons old in order to be apprenticed. A newly named cat must sit silent vigil for one night after receiving his or her warrior name. A cat cannot be made deputy until first mentoring one cat first. The Deputy becomes leader after the current leader dies or retires. After death or retirement of a deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. A gathering of all the Clans of a truce that lasts one night. There shall be no fighting on this night. Boundaries are to be marked and checked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if it is not of the same Clan as yours. The word of Clan leader is law. An honorable warrior does not need to kill in battle. They kill only when necessary or those who are outside the warrior code. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.. Medicine Cats cannot have a mate or kits. Kits must stay in camp and not hunt until they are apprenticed. No cats may share the name of the Clans names. It is to show honor to the founding members," Deathstar's strict voice echoed through the clearing. Though the Noahclan nodded, an irritated aura hung around the cats though they dared not speak.

"We have granted the gift of memory to the leaders of both clans, this code is your life, study it, pass it down in generations, follow this code, it is what will keep you together as a clan," Lifestar spoke, her gaze shifting around her. "When your own leader dies, the deputy will visit the moonstone to be granted nine lives by their ancestors, but for now, we give you nine lives, use them well," Lifestar walked up to Suzaku, at first he tensed but as her nose touched his, a iridescent light overwhelmed the two felines. Deathstar did the same to Adam, a black fiery light flashed vibrantly between the two.

"From now on, your name will be Millenniumstar," the black feline spoke as he pulled his nose away, "use your abilities to lead your clan well."

"You are now known as Soulstar, lead your clan well and be careful of the decisions you make," Lifestar purred as she pulled away.

"We must leave now, lead your clans well, may StarClan light your path!" The larger cats called and turned back where they came from, their bodies shimmering as they walked up to the stars, their banners flickered a final goodbye and the two cats left, never to be seen by living mortals. The clans would change from now, they'd become enemies, but for now they turned and left towards their awaiting territories.
