Within the southeastern coast of America lives two clans, Thistleclan and Bayclan, living just close enough to a bustling twolegplace and bordering themselves between an empty shoreline and a thick forest. For generations, these two clans lived within the confines of themselves, generally unbothered aside from an outbreak over 20 years before of an illness known as "fogcough" brought on by a spirit harboring itself within the clans under the disguise of a loner. This spirit, after being conquered by Starclan themselves, brought back by a warrior named Owlsnap after the being temporarily severed their connection with them, had been kept prisoner within the realm for generations afterwards, heavily guarded at all times. This was a legend passed on by the clans for years, and soon faded into obscurity as a myth. Now, years later, the spirit's been released. Two young cats, Gorgecreek of Bayclan and Nettlehaze of Thistleclan, and a single Starclan cat named Snakepaw are forced to face the destruction that this being may cause, and have set themselves to try and stop it at all costs. What can be scarier than needing to face something that you couldn't even begin to understand? Warriors©Erin Hunter
