Disclaimer: I do not own the Warrior cats, this extension is just from my imagination.
Prologue
In the beginning, when the clans were still new and the borders still crossable without much trouble, there was a tom cat unlike any other named Oak. His curiosity was unrivaled and soon the other cats started to laugh at him for his silly ways.
He was a ThunderClan cat and he always enjoyed the feel of the cool forest air, but one day something unexpected happened.
While he was walking through the forest he saw a twoleg. She was sitting on a log staring intensely at an object, something quite strange to the tom cat and he grew VERY curious.
Oak was not unfamiliar with the twolegs. Before he had joined ThunderClan he had been a rouge in a twoleg place so he understood some of their words.
Cautiously the tom cat became friends with the twoleg and every evening they would meet in the woods on a dead log, and everyday Oak learned a little more. He decided that twolegs called them 'books' and that they were very important, why he did not yet know.
The cats of the clans started mocking Oak saying he was turning into a kittypet, but he did not mind.
Every day the girl would talk to him and soon he learned why. He discovered that twolegs do something called 'reading' with these 'books' and that, that, was very important too.
The more he learned the more Oak wanted, twolegs intrigued him like no other, or more importantly, 'reading'.
As time went on and Green-leaf turned into Leaf-fall his twoleg friend left Oak.
Soon he started to understand what reading was, though he could not understand the 'letters' as the twoleg seemed to call them. He did understand how they were being used, which gave him an idea like no other. If twolegs 'wrote' things as to remember and to record why couldn't cats?
When he went to tell the other clans about his idea they just laughed, gave him question like 'how?' and 'why?' and then started calling him 'Tall Oak' for his tall tales as they said it. This, however, did not discourage him, and a few of the other clan cats even agreed with him. So it was born. One question did stick in his mind though, how WOULD he do it?
So one day when Oak was out on a walk he passed a large hill of stones. Snake Rocks. Intrigued, he explored them for a bit then getting bored he leaped off the rocks onto the ground and slipped in the mud. Rolling down into a cave he laid there looking above at the roof of the cave. There, in the form of cracks Oak saw the answer to his question. Picking himself off the ground he took a muddy paw and placed it on the wall of the cave. Putting it back on the ground Oak looked at the mark that his paw had left. A paw print.
Over the moons Oak found new ways to write on the walls of the cave, taking different kinds of berries and plants to make colored paste. He also made different markings for different meanings. Like a round circle with points to signify the sun and just a plain circle for the moon. He taught those from the other clans who wanted to learn and slowly it started to grow.
Because of this, their Clanmates began to grow wary of them, they did not understand like the cats Oak had taught.
The other clans thought it a foolish thing to do when they had more important things to take up their time. Like protecting the border and catching prey.
But Oak knew this would someday help the clans from curtain destruction and he stayed faithful to his job.
The cats then decided to call themselves Chroniclers of the clans and ever after they met at the new moon, to state things and to discus, to show new apprentices and to watch as time went by, until the day they were needed.
But, like everything over time, the Chroniclers became corrupt. They made rules, that in their mind they thought would help, but they were unnecessary. And in the end made more trouble then it was worth.
-The First was that she-cats could have no kits to distract them from their job. For if one had kits how could they continue their job?
-The second rule was that only two cats per clan could know of this, mentor and apprentice. This was there so that the clans would not suspect them.
-And the third, and most important, was that a Chronicler could never quit their job unless they had a fully trained apprentice.
How they had come up with these rules no cat really knew, but what was known was that this was not what Oak had intended.
But why did Oak create the Chroniclers? Would they ever even have any real need? And if they did what help would 'writings on walls' be?
In the end, you will know~
Well I hope you liked it.
