Rootadopted AU- Chaliceclan edition! @rooted-clangen
Found abandoned outside the caves of Chaliceclan by the then Preacher, Liondawn, Rootkit started out healthy. But things took a turn for the worse around three moons later, when she started displaying symptoms of Fading Kitten Syndrome, just like two others, Partridgekit and Pearkit. She was kept in the same tiny cave with the other two kits, but the three’s lives were quickly fading.
Until Icestar VIII died from a shocking cave-in in the Icebelly, and his young deputy and daughter Inkymind rose to power. She wasn’t able to receive her nine lives, however she was given a task. Theocrites would save Partridgekit, Pearkit, and Rootkit, and give them gifts in order to Save Starclan.
Partridgekit sabotages Hell
Pearkit controls the entities that come from Hell onto the mortal plane
And Rootkit keeps morale up in Starclan
when Inkymind wakes up, she takes the name and travels back to Chaliceclan’s camp, and announces that, not only has she received her nine lives, three dying kits have been healed and given special gifts.
The three kits quickly recover, and are raised apart until they reach six moons of age. Icestar IX trained Pearpaw, Root was trained as a herbalist by Flurryrain, but the most surprising of all was Partridge. Partridgepaw was seen as special due to her grace and way with words. She was made a Preacher Apprentice, and apprenticed to the Preacher-turned Deputy, and Root’s adopted father, Liondawn.
Chaliceclan is strict. Romantic relationships that do not result in kits is frowned upon. Interacting with unbelievers is forbidden. Root and her friends were held to an even higher regard due to their divine gifts, and their proximity to the controversial young leader occasionally draws suspicion. Root spends most of her time in Starclan, talking to Theokrites and healing Starclan cats affected by the acrid, screeching goop that stretched through the Barrier to reach the mortal plane and then Starclan itself. Unfortunately, that means she’s is the closest to the oppressive and prejudiced Arbiter of Starclan. Despite his best efforts to groom her into obedience, there’s always a chance Rootpaw and her friends will catch on. But… will they?
Good luck, Rootpaw.
