I am the shadow in the night
I am the shadow in the night
I am the claws against the rock
I am the tale that strikes fear into the heart of every cat
I am a Keeper
My name is Song
And I am your worst nightmare
"Long ago in the times of the first Leaders there was an elite group of warriors called Keepers. A Keepers duty, you ask? A
Keeper was a cat that had been specially chosen by StarClan to keep the Clans in order. They were higher than the leader
in importance and higher than the worst nightmare in fear. You acted against the Clan one day and the next you were
never heard from again. Their fighting moves were so secret that the only way you saw them was if you were chosen or
if you were a traitor. These cats came from all Clans but were unified in their sacred oath of a Keeper. If you left the
Keepers or even tried to leave they killed you with all the brute force they could muster. When you took your oath they
took away the last part of your name. The mention of a Keeper struck fear into the heart of even the strongest, most
fearless warriors.. The Keepers had all been bestowed a sacred power by StarClan the moment they took their oath." The
young silver she cat finished her tale and looked at her kits huddled at her paws trembling. She looked at one kit in
particular a jet black she cat with violet eyes that always seemed to glow. That kit did not have the frightened looked as
the other kits had it was hard to actually tell but the mother actually believed it was awe and admiration. "Songkit aren't
you scared the Keepers will come and get you." Songkit's beautiful eyes flared with an intensity that was admirable. "I am
frightened by nothing. It is not fear that will drive me to behave it will be admiration and awe of those cats who are the
keepers of peace among the Clans. I vow that even if it kills me I will be a Keeper one way or another."
All the kits had fallen asleep and the silver she cat was approached by a white tom. She looked at him what do you see
Pineheart. Are any of them the Destined" (the Destined are those chosen to be Keepers)Pineheart's eyes showed there was.
"Yes there is Fallenleaf. It is your daughter Songkit. Don't worry there is nothing to be afraid of as of this moment" he tried
to sound calm but his eyes betrayed the cool exterior. In his eyes showed Songkit would be the most dangerous of all the
Keepers.
