46 parts Complete Eleven starved cats were all that remained to PineClan's name after the bearwalkers finally withdrew from the forest, leaving disease and destruction in their wake. Prey was scarce, and silver-snapping jaws littered the forest undergrowth, threatening any life that was unfortunate enough to meet them.
The Clan, too weak to leave, slowly began to rebuild. Some of the she-cats even felt safe enough to try for kits. But while the tiny bodies nestled into the bellies of their mother's, more tragedy took a cold grasp on the Clan, leaving only eight capable cats to guard their home.
Even still, the Clancats pushed on. And gradually, the prey returned to the once-sickly forest, and the kits grew, bringing on a new generation. And with the generation, a ray of hope, after so many seasons of so much grief, the darkness almost seemed suffocating.
But is this small rebound only the eye of the storm, and will the second half show no mercy on the fragile lives? Or will these warriors overcome, and provide one more opportunity for PineClan to survive?
