THIS STORY HAS BEEN MOVED TO CLOUD_ENTITY, PLEASE READ THERE! I WILL NOT BE UPLOADING ON THIS ACC ANYMORE! He was born under open skies. Raised by warriors. Destined for more than one Clan could bear. Torn from his family by a wildfire and human devastation, Hickoryspot is brought to the forest by his uncle and left in the care of AlderClan- feline warriors who live by ancient code and unbreakable bonds. Raised by strangers but loved as one of their own, Hickoryspot grows into a loyal friend, but struggles with his identity and insecurities. Some cats see his heart. Others see a threat. With tensions rising between AlderClan and the neighboring LeafClan, old rivalries stir beneath the surface. As Hickoryspot finds love, purpose, and the truth of who he is, forces beyond his understanding begin to conspire against him. To survive, Hickoryspot must face the mystery of his past, and the weight of the future that others would do anything to prevent. And one Clan will stop at nothing to ensure he never becomes the leader the forest needs.
