Russetstar and Campionstream, past

This is Russetstar's leader ceremony! Her mother, Campionstream, accompanies her to the Star Spire, where Russetstar will recieve her nine lives.

I have an AU where Russetfur becomes leader of ShadowClan and makes Flintfang her deputy and she marries Sasha. I know what the people want and it's women in power who also love other women.

No main blog post today, instead have a look into the other FIVE clans, Egretclan, Elderclan, Buzzardclan, Meadowclan, and Fickleclan.

Pinky purple tabby is Mantisstar of Buzzardclan. A tough leader hated by most. He has a sharp tongue and leads his clan with cruelty implementing unfair rules to outsiders who wish to join and graduating apprentices.

Red spotted tabby is Copperstar of Elderclan. Insecure and a bit cruel Copperstar is seen fighting with others a lot. Despite this hes very open to outsiders and is very caring to younger cats, acting as a parental figure to a certain young cat Cinnamonpaw especially, who most cats in the clan suspect to be his son.

Scarred brown color point is Ganderstar of Fickleclan. Best described as stern and cold, hes a man of few words. Hes proper and likes perfection, though most cats dont know that due to his limited speaking. He has a certain, connection with the dark forest, however whenever it’s brought up he seems… scared and hesitant.

Brown and ginger tortie is Russetstar of Egretclan. Russetstar is an extremely strange cat, shes offstandish to others and is extremely awkward even with cats shes ‘close’ with. Shes actually the only leader with a mate currently (which I dont approve of, more on that in future posts.) and also the only other female leader other than Rainstar.

Brown marbled tabby is Skystar of Meadowclan. A kindhearted cat, Skystar is close with most of the cats in his clan treating most to all like his own children. He has a way with his words and isnt a pushover whatsoever, hes persuasive and confident making him one of the best leaders in the clans.

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story:

He knew he wasn’t important since he was a kit, when his brother was ill. His parents spent every moment with Rockkit, ignoring their other, healthier son.

So, he spent more time with the elders. There, they told him the most amazing stories! Stories of wonderous leaders, defeated evil, prophecies! In the centre of them all was a medicine cat with a vision that detailed the events in the stories that would later unfold. 

That cat was the most important of them all.

But he couldn’t become a medicine cat. An apprentice was already being trained.

He was disappointed, but held onto the hope that he might become a part of a prophecy one day.

It was when his brother--who had recovered just before he reached six moons-- had kits that Olivestep realized he was running out of time. Heroic cats were normally young, weren’t they?

He tried to push it, trying to get the medicine cat or leader have him train as a healer, but they said that three was enough, and that because Windclan was pushing their luck at the border, they needed more warriors to fight.

So he waited longer. 

And longer.

And longer.

He had an apprentice.

Then another one.

One day, he lost prey in a hunt because he had cracked his back. Oakfrisk had made a joke about Olivestep getting old. 

Soon it would be too late.

Starclan wouldn’t let him be a hero, but he could still go down in history as one! The Clan could still believe he was a hero!

He told a story, one of a shocking dream where he was walking on a ground made of blackened bark, only for it to change into icy water, drowning him. He stated how real it felt, but cats were still skeptical. 

That was okay. They would see.

He took his brother’s son’s litter out of the camp and to the lake. Fellow warrior Deerbark--who was on guard that night--followed, reached him at the pebbly shore, and demanded to know what he was doing.

Olivestep killed him swiftly with a bite to the neck. Then he took the kits, dunking them in the lake. He left them in for a few heartbeats before jumping in after. Thank Starclan they were all okay--considering.

He told them to tell everyone that Deerbark had placed them into the icy lake, and that he had saved them. Taking them back to camp, that is what he told everyone.

He was celebrated as a hero, being commended for his rescue and his earlier ‘vision’.

But it was hardly a moon later when a kit had told the truth to their parent, who took it to the leader.

Russetstar visited the kits and, after some prompting, they told him the truth. 

Even as he was confronted by the Clan, Olivestep held onto the his tale, hissing that he is innocent, whether or not they send him into exile. 

Russetstar simply responded that they’re not sending him into exile, before biting out his throat.

Additional Information:

--He chose Deerbark randomly for the prophecy and decided to sneak out when the warrior was on guard.

Chapter Thirty-four of my AVoS SS rewrite is up!

[jomadis]

Hear me out on a Russetstar AU—

So like when Tigerstar dies blah blah blah, Russetfur is chosen instead of Blackfoot/star. I feel like it would be really interesting to see her past kittypet/rouge connection with Firestar. Of course they probably wouldn’t be good friends, but maybe there’s a mutual respect between them
