Born after the Long Winter- a time in which the harshest, most unforgiving winters ravaged the territories seven seasons in a row- Halfpaw is dutiful, hardworking, and healthy. While he hears stories of the Long Winter, it's severity is outside his perception, and he refuses to understand how such an event seems to have torn his clan away from divinity.

"There will be four, born of abhor, who hold the power of the stars in their paws." The Clans hang in a hazy balance; placing their existence on an ever-evolving code and the natural world that shapes them. Leaf-bare and greenleaf, hunter and hunted, life and death. Goodness and evil. There is always a balance. But when that balance is shaken, when one force grows a little too strong, the Clan's existence wavers. Jaypaw already knew his life would be different from that of his Clanmates. After all, he's a blind warrior apprentice. The words of a prophet take his life on a far different path, one that even StarClan couldn't map out, and Jaypaw now stands on shaky ground as one of four, the only things standing between his world as he knows it, and utter destruction. // This is a Power of Three + Omen of the Stars au, or rewrite. //

"Fire alone can save our Clan." ____________ There has never been a domesticated feline in the Clans previously. Though Harepaw had some knowledge about them, having observed a few pass by on the borders, she had not truly encountered one face-to-face except for exchanging sharp words. She did not harbor a favorable opinion towards them. Nonetheless, she was compelled to comply with the instructions of her mentor, the benevolent and voluminous Lionheart. He always displayed kindness towards her, ensuring she was nourished before engaging in any training sessions or other activities. However, her existence would undergo a significant transformation when a domesticated cat nonchalantly wanders into her Clan, potentially revealing a reality that is not all sunshine and rainbows.
