ShineClan History

ShineClan is a clan that was formed many moons ago. A rogue called Shiney traveled throughout the forest, looking for a place to stay. Time passed and Shiney was still looking, not giving up. When nightfall came, she rested under a huge Sycamore tree that was next to a shimmering pool of water.
Shiney stirred and had awoken in a large starry field. She looked around her and saw a million stars in the sky, all of them twinkling bright.

"Shiney."

Shiney jolted and spun around, only to come face to face with a pretty silver tabby she-cat. Shiney looked at the she-cat's pelt and saw stars in it.

Shiney looked back at the she-cat and took a step back. "Who are you?"

The she-cat purred and sat down. "We've waited many moons for you."

Shiney, annoyed that the she-cat didn't answer her, had a questioned look on her face. "What do you mean?"

The she-cat looked into Shiney's eyes and Shiney saw stars twinkled in them. "You are destined for great things, Shiney."

"What does that mean!"

"Calm down, little one. In time everything will come to you, but for now, you must listen. You must gather all the cats you can find and build up a life together. You must train them and teach them how to hunt and fight. You must make a clan."

Shiney was dumbfounded but slowly nodded. "I-I can't. I'm just a cat."

The she-cat purred. "You are a special cat and you will have us to help you. Trust that your ancestors will look after you."

Shiney nodded. "Ok, I'll do it."

The she-cat purred. "Good. Now go, you don't have much time."

Shiney looked startled. "Until what?"

"We'll be watching, Shiney." the she-cat then turned and started padding away.

"Wait! Can you at least tell me your name? Or where to find you again?"

The she-cat looked over her shoulder. "You won't find us, we'll find you. And I am Twinkle." With that, Shiney watched as the she-cat padded away into the stars.

Time had passed and Shiney had done what Twinkle had told her to do. She gathered up all the cats she could find and trained them all to be good Warriors. She soon learned there were other clans out there and was beginning to understand why she must survive.

Shiney also continued to go back to the shimmering pool and the Sycamore tree. She had gotten this feeling that it was called the "Moonpool." And one night she slept there and had awoken in the same field she had met Misty in. She purred and padded around, looking at the stars above her.

"Shiney."

Shiney turned and saw Twinkle. She gasped and pounced over to her. "Twinkle! I missed you so much! You're plan worked! I made a clan and there's others!"

Twinkle purred. "I know."

Shiney cocked her head. "You did?"

Twinkle nodded. "There were clans before but they were slowly destroyed, and soon, they disappeared. Now clans are coming back. I was a leader of one. I was known as Twinklestar, and I still am."

Shiney smiled. "Thanks for everything Twinklestar."

Twinklestar nodded. "You're welcome, Shinestar."

Shiney's eyes widened. "I'm Shinestar now?"

Twinkle nodded. "All leaders' names end in 'star'. You also need to receive your nine lives." Twinkle flicked her tail and led Shiney to receive her nine lives and her name.

After Shiney became Shinestar, she followed Twinklestar back into the clearing. Twinlestar turned and looked at Shinestar. "You are now Shinestar. Congratulations."

Shinestar beamed. "I should probaly get back to my clan."

Twinklestar nodded. "What did you name it?"

Shinestar looked at her. "I didn't name it anything actually." Shinestar stared at her paws and then looked around, thinking of a name for her clan. She continued to look around and then suddenly purred. She looked at Twinklestar. "I know exactly what to name it. ShineClan."
