"Well, let's see... I was born of the clan's original founder, Blazingstar, and Flameclan's leader Flamestar. It was a short romance, as I understand, and I've never known my father. In fact, for a long time my mother tried to keep us a secret, because she already had a mate. Even so, to me, she was a good mother and leader. Being some of the only cats in the new clan, though, I grew restless and before I even became an apprentice I asked my mother to leave the clan to explore the world. It took awhile, but she consented, and so I left. As I understand, after that she went insane, and while I was gone..." Mystic paused and her eyes grew troubled- she was glad she had not been present for that part of clan history. They were very dark days indeed. She decided, as she so often did, to skip over the parts she wasn't there for.
"I went to many clans. More often than not, I only stayed a month or two in each place. I got my apprentice's name in Windclan, then went to Thunderclan and Shadowclan- I never went to Riverclan for some reason- I went to Hawkclan when they were still our allies and there got my warrior's name Mysticmagic, then I moved on to smaller clans, spent time as a loner often, even hunted with a band of rogues once or twice. They're not all unkind, only misunderstood. Many times I fell in love, but my wanderer's spirit prevented me from settling down. I was ready to eventually, though, and so I returned to where I remembered Blazingclan to be. But when I got there, a foul-smelling twoleg road had been built, and the clan was long gone.
"I went to many of our allies, seeking Blazingclan out, and during the Apocalypse I stayed with the Blackheart Rogues. They told me Blazingclan (now called Tidalclan) had stayed with them only a month since, and gone back home to their island home. So, I went there, and was well-received. I was surprised to find that my younger sister Darkintentions now led the clan alongside Flucht, who in my time in Blazingclan I remembered to have been nothing but a prisoner's forgotten and unnamed son. I learned their history and had a hard time sharing my sister's hatred for our mother. She, though, seemed to find my arrival convenient and very promptly took the opportunity to kill herself and pass leadership to me, instead of her heir Capturedheart.
"I wasn't very well received by all, nor was Darkintention's death well-mourned, especially by her own son. It is true that she, in her insanity, did many awful things prompted by our mother's spirit, but in the end she was only herself. I wish the clan had known that as well as I. Almost immediately after I took lead, the clan became the punching bag for many other much bigger clans- all because of the Tribe of Many Storms. They attacked us in the night, and we returned attack, they took our cats prisoner, and so we poisoned their water supply and drove them away from their home. Scarclan, the elite, bloodclan- they all then turned on us. Things have not been calm since...
"During that time, I fell in love with Flucht despite my natural disgust for his circumstance. He did not feel the same for me, but we mated all the same, and I had my first litter. He was soon demoted, and Clamatis took his place- ever since Darkintention's death, Flucht had been utterly useless as a leader. Then, Paradiseclan came because of a tsunami that had devastated their camp. I fell in love with their deputy Hiddenwolf, and we mated, and I had my second litter, Hiddenwolf cheated on me, and so I banished their entire clan from the island. I admit, at the time I was falling prey to the same insanity that took my mother and sister- it runs in our family. I was able to overcome it, though, with Clamatis' help. He drew me back like Flucht never could for Darkintentions. I have fallen ill many times battling the insanity, and now I am pregnant with his kits, and the poison it has left inside of me paired with my 'advanced age' will kill me as I kit. It is written in the stars.
"and that is my life's story as it stands now." Mystic finished with a small smile, though her eyes were sad when she admitted the fate she had seen.
