Prelude:
The era of Firestar had long ended; the era of many great leaders of the past had ended; now they are only cats of legend. The tales of the great Firestar and those that followed are nothing but bedtime stories for the kits that now live in the four grand Clans. Ten years have passed since the Clans first arrived in their new home and much has changed.
Enemies and heroes have come and gone but one thing has remained stable: the four Clans. Cats can go to sleep at night knowing that their Clan will be there the next day, but that is about to change.
Nothing lasts forever.
In a wake of lightning and downpour, the four Clans of the lake are swallowed by a torrent fiercer than they have ever imagined. Countless days were shrouded with perpetual rainfall, eradicating all light and warmth. Waves of rainwater flood what was once adored by all of the Clan cats, destroying the fabric of their very lives.
Cats of all ages were swept away, dragged into the watery depths of the growing lake, never to be seen again. Time passed, the cycles of the seasons were all haunted by the storms. The newest generations of cats are now burdened with the echo of their predecessors' tragic apocalypse.
It is time to rebuild, rebuild or face the final collapse.
