The howling of dogs sound as orchestra of chaos along with your heaving breaths and the snapping of the forest. The dogs sound from all sides as you run blind in the night. Slashing your face on twigs and bushes, weaving between trees. You dont know how long youve been running, your paws have lost all feeling and your legs feel like theyre going to give out. Running up an incline, the trees become sparser and up ahead a gaping cave mouth looms. A swarm of fruit bats spill out of the mouth and glide out, hitting you with their many wings as they go by. The howling of the dogs become more frenzied as you succumb to exhaustion and shock. Do they live? They are breathing. You open your eyes and gaze around bleary, still on top of the incline and alive. The sun shines overhead and bathes you in it welcome glow. Another pelt brushes up against yours, Ah, so you wake. A light grey she cat stirs from your side, her soft green eyes regard you in relief. There were dog howls in the night, I assume it was you? she asks softly. You nod your head slowly, confused as to where this she cat came from. Seeming to know of your questioning she speaks once more, Ah, where are my manners? My name is Cloverstar, leader of Batclan where you just so happen to be. Cloverstar looks over you once more with kind eyes, You look like you need a good meal and a warm bed, would you care to join us? You mull over her offer, perhaps joining the clan would be beneficial. Rising to your paws you nod and follow the she cat down the incline and through a tunnel under a fallen tree. The light once more graces your eyes as you emerge into a clearing that is surrounded by high walls of the same incline that led to the cave of bats. From the side of the camp entrance a large orange and white tom regards you with untrusting amber eyes. This will be interesting.

History

In a time where clans were not a thought and battle was law, a small black tom kit was born. Abandoned by his battle oriented mother, he was left to die. But fate had other plans for this small one. A she cat who newly gave birth wandered aimlessly in a fog, her kits stolen from her and she left to die. She heard meowing of a starving kit and happened along this little tom. Taking pity she raised him as her own. The tom stayed so very small yet his ears grew long and soon were un-proportional to his frame. The she cat taught him all she knew of hunting and fighting, but most importantly she taught him love and kindness. On a moonless night the pair was pursued by a pack of coyote. The she cat spurred the young tom on and he ran as fast as his legs would carry him. Running up an incline, body crying out in strein he reached a cave mouth and collapsed. The chittering of fruit bats lulling him into a daze as they flew out of the cave. His eyes closed to the sound of victory from the pack. He awoke to a rainy morning and the she cat he loved as a mother, was gone. Determined to pass on the love and kindness she had taught, he sought out other cats and invited them to learn and live. He gathered a large following and they settled down in the clearing that the incline created. One moonlight night, the chittering of bats lured the tom, now in the middle of his life, to their cave. In a daze he wove his way deep into the cave. In a cave that shown with water and gems, the she cat sat. She was proud of her tom, he was a worthy leader and a kind friend. She granted him another life, one that was marked with love. More ghostly cats entered the cave. They gave him; wisdom,diligence, compassion, patients, bravery, fairness, and peace. In honor of the bats who saved him, he was named Batstar and his group of cats was Batclan.

Territory

A dense wood, where sunlight rarely reaches ground due to the enveloping canopy. Large oak and willow trees are the main species. To the south of the territory, conifer trees and an eerie mist mark the beginnings of Ghostclan. Close to the north of Batclan territory, the camp and the Bat Roost lie. The Bat Roost is a cave atop of an incline that is inhabited by bats. Leaders and medicine cats journey to the very end of the cave to recieve their lives and messages. Our main prey animals are; moles, voles, snakes, lizards, quail and woodpeckers. Dangers include; coyotes, venomous snakes, spiders, and sometimes, twoleg hunting dogs. It is currently Greenleaf.

Camp

The entrance to the camp is located underneath a huge fallen oak in the form of a tunnel. The dens are inside naturally formed caves that dot the walls of the surrounding incline. The warriors den is located closest to the entrance with the apprentice den relatively close. The elders and nursery are located all the way in the back wall, with the medicine cats and leaders den flanking them. The clan gathers to meetings underneath a ledge, where the leader climbs to from their den.

Rules

----------------------
Leader
Cloverstar(Kayoticreaper)|| A small light grey she cat with light green eyes and ticks of white on her nose, ears, tail, and paws. She is very kind and motherly, treating the clan like her kin. Cloverstar is very decisive in battle but prefers peaceful options, rarely the one to start a fight but rather negotiate an end. She is close friends with Waspeyes as they were apprentices at the same time. Cloverstar would love to start a family, but her duty to her clan comes first. It will take a truly patient tom to win her over. She is the fifth leader of Batclan. Her lives: 9-Given by Batstar{Love} ||Lost defending Waspeyes from a rabid hunting dog.|| 8-Given by sister, Berrykit{Hope} ||Lost by an adders bite.|| 7-Given by mother, Foxtail {Ferocity} ||Greencough|| 6-Given by Molestar, second leader {Eloquence} 5-Given by Spiderclaw, mentor {Agility} 4-Given by Viperstar, third leader {Wisdom)3-Given by Puck, an elderly loner she defended and provided fresh kill for {Generosity} 2-Given by Halfstar, fourth leader {Perseverance} 1-Birthlife

Warriors
Waspeyes(Kayoticreaper)|| A burley and wide shouldered orange and white tom with piercing amber eyes. He is untrusting of loners and wishes to heavily punkish trespassers. Waspeyes is a kind soul, however, he has a soft spot for kits. He is the kithood friend of Cloverstar and has been enamored with her ever since apprenticeship. He practically worships the ground she treads, which is why he will never tell her of his feelings, for he is not worthy of her. Perhaps the right she cat will make his focus shift.||
