For as long as he could remember, Gorsefire lived a normal life. Nothing extraordinary, but not exactly insufferable. As a kit, he, along with most kittens, dreamed of being leader and one of the most feared yet respected warriors. And like most kittens, he lived without a care in the world.
But as he aged, he soon found out that life isn't all smiles and sunshine. Gorsefire uncovers things he wished he had never found out, and his relationships begin to waver and secrets of his are broken. Gradually, Gorsefire's life falls apart. And even as Gorsestar, leader of ChasmClan, the suffering doesn't stop. Things only get worse.
But this isn't just mere coincidence... No, the things that happen to Gorsestar aren't by chance. Somebody is trying to ruin his life, /somebody/ is trying to make Gorsestar suffer until the day he decides to end it all...
But who...?
