In The Beginning Intro
The moon shone high in the sky, almost reaching the point of being full. No cloud drifted against the stars. CloudClan camp was brimming with excitement, especially from the nursery. A tabby queen hurriedly licked one of her two tom kits, trying to get them to look their best. One kit, a large black tom, hopped on his paws near the nursery entrance. His turn to be washed was already over. Large amber eyes were stretched wide in impatience and excitement. His feathered tail was stuck up straight in the air, and you could literally see the long fur quivering. The other kit, a slightly smaller tabby tom, had long fur, and bold black stripes against his brown fur. Both had wings. The black kit, had wings that shimmered with the feathers of a raven. The other kit had the wings that belonged to that of an owl, giving him the natural ability to fly without a sound. “C’mon mom, let me go.” The tabby kit groaned, his eyes widening and shutting as her rasp tongue pulled at the skin around his face. “Now Owlkit, Cometkit was patient enough to wait. You do the same.” His mother said with enough patient in her voice to last some a lifetime. Finally, when she announced that she was done, Owlkit raced out of the entrance, only a few steps behind Cometkit, who had raced out a few seconds before Owlkit had been done. Their mother walked out, very slow compared to the kits. Her face was creased with joy.
Keep in mind; this was during the first few generations of the magic clans. Mirrorstar sat atop, ready to name the kits apprentices. She muttered the words to start Cometkit’s ceremony, when the current medicine cat screamed. Looking up, a large eagle owl swooped down into the clearing. Its large talons were wide. It’s eyes looked like the flame of a forest fire was trapped within them. It was only a few fox lengths of the ground when they realized what its target was; Owlkit. The talons wrapped around the yowling kit. Though, the kit wasn’t hurt, it wasn’t perfectly fine either. The owl flapped its wings once again, a great blast of wind coming from them and shaking the ground. The reason for this will be revealed later. It lifted back into the sky, leaving the CloudClan camp behind, and all the stunned cats. The first noise was that of Cometkit, screeching at the owl to put his brother back down. Warriors sped into the sky a few moments after, their own wings being put to use. But the owl had managed to escape; its silent wings carrying it into the trees where it could not be seen. Owlkit was gone.
All was not well Plot
The owl that had kit-napped Owlkit, was called Earthquake, leader of the Gold Parliament (a group of owls is called a parliament, so that’s why the long name). The Golden Owls as they were called were power hungry fools who thought they were doing everyone a favor by taking over. They said that if they were in charge, everyone would be happy, when really they were making things better only for themselves. On the opposing side though, was the Silver Parliament, who saw the error in the Gold Owls’ ways. Not that they were the only ones who did, they were just the only ones who had the power to bring the Gold Parliament to a conclusion that the territory they were trying to take was not worth it. The Silver Owls were led by Hurricane, a wise snowy female owl, who for the most part was oddly completely white. Like Earthquake, her eyes held a flaming color, though less brilliant and menacing. She is a wise owl reaching, maybe even going above, an elder-owl’s knowledge, even though she is only a few years into life. Each Parliament has opposing ideas, but both occupy a forest wedged between a range of mountains. In the middle is a lake, which in the middle of that is an island, where each meet. Though, unlike the clans, there is not a truce. Fights break out almost every time.
Back to Owlkit. He was taken back to the Gold Parliament’s roost. He was taken into Earthquake’s nest, and talked to.
“Umph.” The kit tumbled a few steps backwards as the large eagle owl flung him from his talons as if the kit was some disgusting piece of dirt. The look on his face also gave you this idea. The kit’s face, on the other hand, was defiant and brave. “Take me back, now.” The kit said after a few awkward moments of silence. There was another moment’s pause, before Earthquake let out a bawl of laughter. It had an eerie tone to it, like that of a rogue laughing before it killed an apprentice in front of its mentor. “I’d like to see you try to make me, runt.” Earthquake replied, before turning to the nest entrance and hooting into the night air the word ‘storm.’ Owlkit tipped his head in confusion, wondering what that meant. But it was only a bit before a small, lesser sooty owl landed on the branch outside the hollow tree trunk where the owl and the kit were. They whispered about something, the expression on the sooty owl’s face never changing, except Owlkit could sometimes feel its pure black eyes were on him instead of the eagle owl. Finally, after a while, they turned back to Owlkit. “Your name is now Breeze. Forget your other name and your other life. You are with us now. Storm here will be your teaching wing. Being a good whatever you are a fly away now.” There was a billion things Owlkit, or Breeze as he was now called, could’ve said. But he picked a few, and said them. It was obvious as he spoke he wasn’t thinking about what he said. “First of all, I’m a cat. Second, I will not forget who I truly am, you brute.” The last couple of words was said with such bravery that it was like a leader speaking to a scrawny rogue.
But his defiance was not to hold. Constant beatings for every mention of the word ‘cat’ or his old clan served a purpose, for soon he made himself forget his clan, his parents, and his brother. It didn’t take but two revelations to make him believe he was part of their parliament. Time and time again, he was trained by the owl Storm. The owl usually stuttered in the presence of other owls, but seemed perfectly at home with Breeze. Though, unlike the other owls, Breeze was only trained in fighting. Because of this he easily excelled, doing the purpose Earthquake had taken him to do. He’d seen the bobcats and how they can easily kill any of his fighters, and the shaman couldn’t do anything to save them.
The disaster of Gold Parliament sat next to his shaman, Poppy, sat next to Earthquake. She watched as Breeze rose high into the air, then sat stationary for a few moments, locking onto a pile of pine cones in the center of the roost. Suddenly, he started turning, launching himself down. His brown fur made him take on the appearance of a football. She turned her head toward Earthquake, just as the trainee hit the pile. “You know we should’ve left him.” She said, closing her eyes afterward as if regretting what she had said. “You know you should hold your tongue.” Earthquake snapped back, his flame hued eyes locked on the trainee. “Yes sir, sorry.” She mumbled, before hopping out the nest and across the clearing, making sure to stay a few yards away from Breeze in the process of getting to her own nest.
“Breeze, you have shown yourself a perfect example in the art of fighting.” Earthquake screeched across the clearing, which was littered with luminous eyes looking back up at him. Breeze sat in front of them all, glaring up at the owl. “And I give you your fighter name, Torrent! You shall help us in our upcoming flight to victory!” He screamed, in a voice that dripped with glory and pride. The owl lifted into flight, and Torrent did the same. In a matter of moments, they were parallel with each other, and up toward the full moon they rose. It was the naming ceremony dance, one that was performed by the disaster and the newly name fighter each time. At the highest point of their flight, they did an aerial back flip, and landed again. His name was now officially Torrent, and he was now a fighter of Gold Parliament. His loyalty was pounded harder into his heart.
At the half moon, Torrent, Earthquake, and a few selected other owls flew to the island lake. Torrent flew behind, Poppy next to him. “You know you don’t have to stay here. You can go back.” She whispered nest to him. “Go back where? And leave my home?” Torrent whispered back, pure confusion in his voice. Poppy gave him a mournful look, before dipping her right wing and turning off into a group of owls behind. Storm was one of them. Torrent followed her with a confused look, but shook his head and flew faster to catch up with Earthquake. This was the first time he had been to a meeting, since Trainees weren’t allowed to attend. He was brimming with excitement.
Earthquake had been sitting for a while on the white sands of the island, watching the skies with eyes filled with pure disgust. But it only became more apparent as silhouettes appeared on the horizon. Moments later a snowy female owl stood facing Earthquake. Torrent, who was sitting on one side of the Gold Parliament’s leader (Poppy on the other, as shaman’s did), thought that, after looking at the gruff owls of his own parliament, that she was the most beautiful bird he had ever seen. But, the look of calm hate on her face made him think otherwise for a moment. “Greetings, Earthquake.” She mumbled, the greeting obviously forced. “Greetings Hurricane.” Earthquake replied in the same tone. This tension was kept for the whole gathering as Silver Parliament discussed it’s news and new fighters, as the other parliament did the same. When they were about to leave, Earthquake made a bold statement. “We shall rise to victory, with the stars on our side. After the journey for truth, we will be the fright of every Fledging from here to TrueFlock!” He hooted before leading his parliament back to their territory, leaving a suspicious Silver Parliament behind.
But there is a way Summary & Vocabulary -Do not just read this, because it does not contain everything, read the whole plot up there- The owls of Gold Parliament have captured a kit from the first generation, and have raised it to be a warrior for their own means. This kit was of CloudClan, and because of this has wings to help him fight alongside the owls. The leader of the parliament wants more warriors like him, because he is so effective in battle. They are planning to raid his clan of all kits, apprentices, and young warriors for this recruitment. They are planning to attack the other clans to in search of more cats to claim, though only kits and apprentices from them, since most don’t have wings. This could spell doom for the clans, as it would wipe out up to two generations of cats if they succeed. And they are willing to kill any who stand in their way. Since the Gold Parliament has so many owls, the clans would need help fending them off. This is where Silver Parliament comes in. Hurricane, the Silver Parliament disaster, has chosen TrueFlock to guide her to help her about getting Gold Parliament away from their malicious ideas. But TrueFlock tells her she needs someone from Gold Parliament to help her.
With the wings of a horned, and a striped black heart, golden eyes lined with claws, find them to bring them back to awaiting paws
That could mean Torrent, the warrior of Gold Parliament. A cat. She needs to convince him to come with her back to his own clan, and convince them to believe her about Gold Parliament. But it all depends on Torrent.
Vocabulary This can be rather confusing, even for me so…
TrueFlock: ‘StarClan’ for the owls. Parliament: A ‘Clan’ for the owls Roost: A ‘Camp’ for the owls Nest: A ‘Den’ for the owls Revolution: ‘Moon’ for the owls Disaster: ‘Leader’ for the owls. At times they may just be called ‘king’ or ‘queen’ Shaman: ‘Healer’ of the owls. Fighter: ‘Warrior’ of the owls. Teaching Wing: ‘Mentor’ for the owls Trainee: ‘Apprenice’ for the owls Fledgling: ‘Kit’ for the owls Names: Disasters: Named after severe natural disasters. For example; Tornado, Flood, Flash-Fire, etc. Shamans: Named after herbs. Trainees/Fledglings: A small weather change/Land Form. For example; Mist, Puddle, Shake. Fighters/Teaching Wings: An upgrade of the Trainee name. Example: If your name were ‘Puddle’ before, it would probably be Downpour or Lake. Or ‘Shake,’ would probably be Tremor. If you were upgraded to a disaster, it would probably be ‘Earthquake.’ You get the idea.
To End it All Characters Torrent Tom 49 Moons Gold Parliament
Comet-Tail’s brother. Fighter. A tom who, though rather slightly dim-witted and easily swayed, has strong loyalties. He strongly believes that he is part of Gold Parliament, even though he is from CloudClan. He has a troubled mind, and often has dreams of cats screaming and yowling, running through a forest as a large black bird flies above. But he’ll wake up before he sees the end. These are dreams from StarClan, though he doesn’t even believe or know about StarClan. Has large, tawny black striped wings of an owl; silent and strong. Take By: None
Comet-Tail Tom 49 Moons CloudClan Torrent’s brother. Warrior. He is cunning and agile, being one of the most intelligent cats in the forest. He is rather timid, though, and is usually afraid to tell his ideas to anyone. Because of him being shy, he has no friends, and is usually seen sitting by himself still mourning the loss of Owlkit (Torrent). He doesn’t have very strong loyalties to his clan, unfortunately, only to those that he knows and loves. He too has dreams, only of a large white bird sitting next to him, both looking at a completely black silhouette of a winged cat in front of him. He can almost remember who it is, but is woken up before he truly can recognize the figure. Has black sleek raven wings. Taken By: Masked
Hurricane Female Owl 37 Revolutions Silver Parliament Parliament disaster. She is very wise, and has a strange sense of knowing exactly what to say and do next. She has a very strong belief in peace and TrueFlock, and always wants to do what’s right, and for the good of others. Though, she isn’t exactly orientated. She is rather clumsy, and is prone to fall off branches when landing. She isn’t exactly a silent flyer either. Taken By: Nova
Poppy Female Owl 63 Revolutions Gold Parliament Parliament shaman. Has a strong conscience, and knows that Torrent should’ve never been taken from CloudClan. She eventually accompanies Hurricane to the clans after attaining Torrent. More to come as she becomes more important. Taken By: Son of the Dusk
Storm Male Owl 30 Revolutions Gold Parliament Once Torrent’s Teaching Wing, now a fighter. Constantly stutters (think Prof. Quirrel Harry Potter fans) when in the presence of other owls. But feels oddly comfortable in Torrent’s presence, and sometimes Poppy’s. He develops a love interest in Poppy eventually, which leads him to follow her when she leaves with Hurricane. More to come as he becomes more important. Taken By: None
Earthquake Male Owl 56 Revolutions Gold Parliament Parliament’s disaster. He is a power hungry brute, caring only for his needs and oblivious to anyone else’s. He thinks what he’s doing in fine, because it’ll all turn out good in the end; for him. He likes to think whatever he does in the right thing, and he is never ever wrong. If you tell him straight out he was wrong and stupid, get ready to have your tongue literally ripped out. No more talking for you. In short, he’s a power-hungry ego maniac. Taken By: Shadowleaf
And Have a Happily Every After Notes & Future Comings This isn’t exactly completely finished, but enough so that you should get the idea. I welcome questions, so don’t be afraid to ask.
Hurricane can’t get Torrent to come with her, so she decides to go back to the clan he came from to get something that might get his memory back. After searching for a while, she finds CloudClan, and eventually finds out that Comet-tail is Torrent’s brother. Now she needs to find a way to get him to come with her. –Currently at this point-
My photobucket account's going haywire, so, the pictures may not show up.
The End Tis the Form Making your own owl? Or maybe you want to fill out one for the current owls? Below is the form. Post it here when you're done, I guess.
Name: Gender: Age: In Revolutions (Moons) please Species: Type of owl Description: Appearance Personality: How is this owl tied into the plot?: Type how the owl is in the plot. It cannot be 'It's in the parliament, so it's in the plot,' please have some twist, even a small one.
-Wants to know what hole everybody's digging their plots out of- xO
D'you think I could play Torrent? If you don't, it won't bother me much because I've got...four bios to do still. >.< -whacks self-
Edit: On second thought, I don't think I should. xD I need to catch up on bios and stuff...plot that I keep not writing up, and I might need space for another character.
Still a very awesome plot though, and Torrent's name rules! x3

This goes in the bio place, not on the plot thread. Tsunami begins Ts, and it's a big storm, so you should make Tsunami Wave or something, because the Disasters are named after big storms.
