The Eclipse Games: Running River
Prologue.
Firestar lied in his nest with dull eyes. Sol had convinced ShadowClan to follow him in war until all of clans bowed to him. He was the new leader to all four clans. Sol had told all four clans to come to The Island today. Firestar didn't dare refuse. But he wouldn't even call the cats in this colony a clan anymore. More like a pack of useless rouges.
Greenleaf was thick with food and a lovely time of year. But all of the warriors around him were scarred and scratched. And Leafpool was grabbed by the clutches of StarClan, leaving Jayfeather by himself to help the wounded warriors. Firestar had lost a life the day after the battle and all he had given up all hope. The Clan walked with Firestar to the island. And Sol stood on top of the tree.
"Welcome cats of 'Clans'" he sneered "Before we start, I must thank ShadowClan for helping me dearly." He purred. ShadowClan hid their faces in embarrassment and rage. Firestar didn't stare; he still was too tired to protest to this meeting. Ashfur had died not to long before, but Sol had denied it was he who killed him. "Last night, all of your leaders have surrendered their remaining since they are no longer leaders." Sol chuckled with amusement as many of the clan cats had looked at each other in surprise and worry.
Sol curled his tail as he spoke. "In honor of the day the sun vanished, we will have the Eclipse Games every Greenleaf." "The Eclipse Games will involve two cats from each clan picked randomly. Or volunteered if that is what one wants. The cats chosen will consist of apprentices, warriors, elders, and leaders." Sol presented. "When the games starts, all of the cats not involved will be transported to a cave to watch. All of the cats that were chosen will live in the forest until only one is left." "The others will die playing this game. As for living in the camps, we will all go to another forest for the games every Greenleaf."
Yowls of protest and anger flowed through the crowd. Firestar too, was in the crowd of protest but Sol had begun to speak again. "In WindClan, Breezepelt and Tornear." Sol recited. Breezepelt looked exited while Tornear looked filled with worry. "In Riverclan, Mosspelt and Mistyfoot." "In Shadowclan, Tawnypelt and Redpaw." Sol meowed clearly enjoying the chaos. "And in Thunderclan, Hollyleaf and Firestar."
