Claud was born in a cold dark place, and all of his nightmares started there.
He had a brother, Tune, and a mother, Dory, who told the two tales of the outside. But the cold dark place had bad creatures. Those were called 'humans'.
They took Claud, and he returned to the world a little darker. He smelt different, and he couldn't open his one eye. A little later, and the brothers decided to explore. Sneaking out when the door was opened, they laughed as they dashed through running feet.
Soon, they went through a hole. It wasn't smooth, like the others. Claud went in first, laughing as he ran and ran. Ran and ran until he saw a beautiful light. He smiled, but it quickly fell as he saw who wasn't there. His brother died that day.
Then he started walking and walking. Until he met a strange group of cats, who lived in the marsh. He was accepted as Claudpaw, and immediately took a liking to Sandflight. As he aged, a hatred took hold. A hatred of the ones who had stolen away his family. Sharing this sentiment with Siltpaw and Snippaw, the three developed a bond.
Bringing it up to Grasswing, the deputy, resulted in it immediately getting shot down. Claudrat, Snipvoice, and Siltflower got their warrior names with little trouble. When Grasswing vanished, no one suspected a thing.
Not perfect little Claudrat, so loyal and kind.
Not Snipvoice, so devoted to this Clan.
Not Siltflower, Grasswing being her own mentor.
Claudrat had looked around camp....Applewhisp had called him 'Spottedfreak' when he was younger. Surely she didn't deserve to be in his ShadowClan...better to get rid of her now.
This had Siltflower object, as Applewhisp has been quite kind to her. But Claudrat did it anyway, hiding the body somewhere it would never be found.
Next was Elmfur, many moons later, the deputy after Grasswing. They never suspected a thing after Siltflower led them to the tree....they never did again. And then, Claudrat was promoted to deputy. The rumors of RiverClan taking in a bright orange cat and his mate were of no matter, he had a Clan to lead.
Slowly but surely, he wore down Marshstar's lives. Oh, rotten prey. Lost at the Carrionplace. And then, one night, Claudrat returned with blood on his claws. They had been terribly ambushed by a WindClan patrol! He tried to help...... But it was too late.
Claudstar then, throughout the moons, killed other cats as well. Including his own apprentice, Dustpaw. He saw too much!
But one day, Claypaw crossed the borders to meet with a cat called Fizz. And just as Claudstar whittled down the lives of his former leader, they slowly built up a resistance. One day, Siltflower put poppy seeds in her mate’s prey, having been disgusted by all the deaths she had been an accomplice to, and then the cats rallied. Dragging Claudstar out to a Thunderpath, even as he struggled, screaming, he heard voices.
"Your......lives........revoked.......almost....destroyed....Clans..." At that point he just went limp and accepted his fate. The last thing he saw was the approaching monster.
--Submission by @frightnightindustries welcome!
--StarClan took his lives out of fear. They had no prophecy. No plan. Nothing. People do crazy things when they are afraid.
--He has spots like a cow, and there is one over his right eye, the blind one. His fur is white otherwise.
