After they all were forced to come together in an effort to survive the long, long leaf-bare, the band of clan leaders changed drastically. Suddenly, life wasn't about living for your Clan, your home, and finding a place in StarClan after death. Suddenly, life was about proving yourself to the leaders and fighting your way into the circle of power. All cats thought about was scrambling their way to the taught for better nests, better food, and more opportunity. After all, with so many cats living in one place, resources are scarce. It wasn't the way things 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be; the way things once were. StarClan knew they must do something to help shift things for the better for their living kin below. But... warriors were stubborn and untrustworthy, apprentices and kits were too impressable, and the higher-ups were corrupt. There was no-one... except for their last resort. The elders.
