Shadows
The wind blows in ShadowClan's territory, casting dark shadows over their hearts. They are all dark, and evil, and….
Or so they say.
I'll tell you something—I am Amberleaf, a member of ShadowClan. And, sure, I'm a medicine cat; but I know—for a fact—that ShadowClan is not dark and evil. In fact, they are really just like any other Clan—and, this is why they say this—and we are stereotyped.
Listen, y'alls; I hate it, I absolutely hate it that no cat wants to trust ShadowClan because of a silly rumour!! Sure, we have lost our faith in StarClan before, sure, we are skeptical; but we are hardly as bad as those other Clans!!
I mean, look at RiverClan—they eat fish, and they are the Clan with the sleekest coats, and the best ability (or so they say, and want to believe)—swimming. They think that they are sooooo great, and they boast about it, from day to day.
Now, let's see…. WindClan. They are weak, and…. well, weird. They decided to turn against ThunderClan, and, in an effort to show just how much greater they are—Pshaww! Disillusioned liars—they invaded ThunderClan's territory, and Heathertail abused Lionblaze's trust in her, and showed her Clan the tunnels.
WindClan is even worse than ThunderClan, say!
ThunderClan thinks that they are sooooo great—they try to keep helping, and helping, and they often make bad choices in the process. However, compared to WindClan and RiverClan?—Well, we don't really mind them. They are the cats less likely to cross on any Clans' borders…. Which does make them easier targets, I guess—but, at least they don't cause us too much trouble!
The rumour about the wind and the shadows is wrong. That's all I have to say.
