So…I wrote this in one of my more… dramatic moments. So it's…dramatic.
I don't own Warriors.
When a traitor speaks, even kits turn their heads to listen. And when one like him acts, chances are many will follow.
Like Tigerstar.
Certainly not the first traitor. Definitely not the last traitor. But without a doubt, he was a legend among them.
You would think I, Bluestar, leader of ThunderClan, would have seen it. But like everyone else, I saw the perfect warrior.
And the perfect leader… who would not follow the perfect leader?
One who knew they were too perfect. Who saw past the strength and bravery and into the deepest and darkest depths of a heart. There, greed and treachery reigned, locking good and evil in a turmoil, twisting the mind and ensnaring the body.
The evil of the traitor does not always win. The truly noble cats live for the Clan. And the nobleness conquers the traitor in them.
But when the evil does win… its victory echoes through the entire forest; and so a traitor is born.
Great StarClan, why do you forsake us with traitors that posses enough power to rip the forest in two? Why did you accept him as deputy?
Perhaps it was my fault. A traitor was in our midst. But I was too ambitious for him- for our Clan- and made him deputy.
Once a cat like him gets in a certain position of power, he will begin to sow the seeds of destruction. And when a cat like him has nurtured the seeds of destruction long enough-seasons of planning, alliances in all Clans- he strikes.
The cat has by now accommodated so much power, so much influence, that his followers are more loyal to him than their birth Clan.
They are the traitors, too.
If one could be remembered as a traitor, it is Tigerstar. Not even StarClan knows why it had to happen. Why nature let it happen. Why so many are inspired…and captivated…
When a traitor speaks.
If y'all want, I'll continue with another chapter, analyzing a traitor or near traitor (Brambleclaw, Hawkfrost, etc.) from the perspective of a cat close to them. However, if no one really cares, this will remain an oneshot.
So… y'all better review, I mean, if you want it continued, so I know you want it continued.
