After days of traveling on your own through a seemingly endless forest, the trees part, welcoming you into a large clearing. Your grateful to see a slow stream breaking through the center of the clearing, you notice for the first time how thirty you are, and how welcoming the cool water is, calling out to you. You make your way towards it, only to be startled by the cat looking back at you, it's your reflection, but it's not you staring back. The water seems to have changed your appearance, you look much stronger then you feel, not to mention younger. You see bravery in your eyes, which should clearly be fear at the moment. You move in closer to inspect the refleection when a voice behind you speaks up at last.
"I see you've found yourself"

•● History ●•
The Guardians have been around for countless moons and seasons. Back before the four main clans even existed. It is said that 4 rogue kits were seperated from their mothers at the exact age of 5 moons. First was Bravery, a silver tabby kit with eyes like the feather of a blue jay. Next was Fate, a muscular brown tabby tom with eyes like the deepest depths of the ocean. The third to go was yet another she-kit by the name of Destiny, a cat white as snow with eyes bright as the forest around them. Last but not least was Belief. The final kit, a small tom, merely a runt with deep brown eyes like the fur of a mouse.
One by one these kits found their way towards the very center of the forest they had been born in. And each came by the bright stream breaking through the clearing. The first to approach was Bravery, who had traveled far despite her size, now hoping for a refreshing drink she looked into the pool. The cat staring back shocked her. Looking back was a beautiful warrior, standing proud, not an ounce of the exhaustion Bravery felt showed there. Here eyes were filled with courage and determination. Something Bravery had once seen in hers.
One by one the kits looked into the stream, each seeing strang yet magnificent cats looking back. It was Belief who spoke. "We see our true selves" he muttered. Having great belief in the cats that walked among the stars.
Soon the four became insepratable, not wanting to leave eachother or the stream. And so they built dens in the depths of the undergrowth surrounding the dens. And not long after, the kits grew, watching loners, rogues and other clan cats gaze into the stream with awe, only to join what had become a clan of pure goodness, The Guardians.
•● Territory ●•
The Guardians are located in the very center of a large forest, as told in the story. Many loners and rogues come through this area, though few clan cats venture here. The forest is thick with undergrowth in few places where prey such as mice and rabbits thrive. Though past the stream there are many clearings and streams for training and fishing. There borders are set very far into there territory, having no need to check them often since most cats pass through to the stream, right into there camp without noticing.
There were few dangers in the forest for some time, though lately creatures have been spotted an heard such as badgers, foxes and even once a bear was spotted over the border. Despite this few cats have been harmed on the territory. Where there forest comes to an end at the east border is a cliff, dropping off into the angry waves below. Few cats have fallen though all that have were lost in the rolling waves.
•● Religion ●•
It is believed that the four cats who created the clan created there own little heaven in the sky. Though rather then counting the stars as past cats, cats now count the fish in the stream.
Rather then desending from the sky to meet with cats or walking in their dreams, these cats can be found standing beside the river, with there pelt soaked to there bodies from the river. Though once you die, you become what your reflection once was, making these cats incredible in appearance unlike any cat living in the forest today.
Many cats believe that they will always pass onto the river as long as they stand on their own territory. Their is no good or bad in the afterlife, only all cats living in what they loved most, the stream.
