MercuryClan's Beginnings.
When the storms hit DaisyClan, the thriving group was thrown into disarray. The territory became damaged beyond any known repair, a minefield of debris and hazards so unlike the lush landscapes they had known for generations. Lives old and young alike were snuffed out....such is the fate of a single disaster. The effects were devastating, but their leader, Beetlestar, insisted they could rebuild and thrive.
When the quakes came...few believed her words to be truth.
They had never thought it possible, but the state of DaisyClan had worsened. It was near unrecognizable, its already damaged fields marred with uneven cracks and scars, the few lingering prey animals all but vanishing.
Beetlestar tried to rebuild, but to some, her efforts were weak. No patrols searched for clean water or fresh food beyond their borders, a means that only had a meager end, and she refused to seek help from the neighboring BurrowClan. Could she not see her clan was starving and suffering?
Palestripe, a senior warrior of DaisyClan, took note of Beetlestar's insufficient actions and, growing ever tired of waiting for a solution the younger molly couldn't give, stood upon the Leader's Branch and announced her own dissent:
She could not die here waiting for a magical cure from StarClan that would never come! She would leave to find a new place, one that would provide in their time of need! If any cat wanted to live, they could join her.
Some, including Beetlestar, called her ridiculous, claimed she would never find what she sought - DaisyClan would rebuild with time and effort. Others joined her without a second thought.
It took a good while, but outside of the territories Palestripe knew, she and her ragtag clan found a place to call their own. It was by no means beautiful, with twoleg trash littering the place and the occasional odd, stagnant puddles. But shelter was abundant, and prey, while not abundant, was present. It was the best home they had, and by the Stars, they would make it work.
And so, blessed by StarClan when she went to meet them, Palestripe became Palestar, founding leader of MercuryClan. She would fix what Beetlestar could not.
