Dawn of Hope

by Infinite.Elf.Song

The Clans are facing a leaf-bare harsher than any they have seen before. The sky is constantly thick with clouds , and cats are quickly dying from both greencough and starvation. Desperate for help, they begin turning towards legends and a certain creature, one who may not even exist. Will they be overtaken by grief and desperation? Will the clans be wiped out forever?

1. Allegiances and Info

Here you go, I've finally decided to give in and write a full length fanfiction. It's probably going to be really cliché, so sorry about that. I'll do my best to make it different and more interesting to read.
I was planning on making it take place during Bluestar's time as leader and before book one, but trying to stay to the character of everyone would be a little too difficult, especially for my first time, so instead it's the typical made up characters. I wasn't going to write out the Allegiances because who reads them anyways? But, I remembered that two years ago I made up a ton of Clans out of boredom and still had a group of four Clans buried somewhere. So, I dug it up and decided that I'll use a mixture of characters from those four Clans to make this one.

I purposely put in a few more characters than I need so I can kill some off (I'm know, I'm a cruel author. :P). To those who may read this story that I (hopefully) will actually try to write, please, please review! That's the only thing that will keep me writing! I need to know if you liked it or not and would love any constructive criticism! Thank you and hope you enjoy. May StarClan light your path!
