" tell me I was the chosen one " name: softenedshriek fomer names: softenedkit, softenedpaw, softenedmurmur, softenedshriek residence: dark forest rank: leader clan: oakenclan Softenedkit's mother died when she was born, throwing her unwilling into a prophecy. The prophecy held her hostage, forcing her to fulfill her destiny no matter the cost. The prophecy was simple: She could either strengthen StarClan beyond recognition or "the dark would flow beyond the reach of light." Tasked with very vague instructions, Softenedpaw knew she must fulfill this prophecy. Soon, the cats of all the clans learned of the prophecy one gathering from the local hysterical medicine cat, Prudentfeather. Prudentfeather was very sure that Softenedpaw would fail, and decided he must alert the clans so they could be rid of her. No one killed her, they merely pressured her. Everyone within her clan. It didn't matter which cat, just anyone who felt as though she wasn't trying hard enough to save the fate of their world. So they Screamed at her. Forced her to become a medicine cat in the hopes she would be able to communicate with StarClan to understand what she must do to save the clans. Softenedmurmur, armed with her new medicine cat name, decided she was sick of the pressure, the screaming, the anxiety that the fate of the world rested upon her shoulders. She decided she was to kill Prudentfeather and her leader, Glossystar. But of course, she met a cat. Pineconebliss, a warrior of the neighboring clan, SilverClan. They swiftly fell into love, or as much love as Softenedmurmur was capable of knowing, since the only emotion she'd ever known from other cats was the great crushing expectations. Before her plan could go into motion, she was expecting Pineconebliss's kits. Her clan and all the clans began to despise her, saying "What kind of cat has been sent to save us?" She revealed in their displeasure. She had two kits, one stillborn, and one alive and very much well. She named the surviving kit - Fiercekit. Her entire world was Fiercekit. Teaching him to be independent, not needing other cats to protect him, and always questioning the rules. It was quickly his apprenticeship. She was very proud of her little kit. She soon decided he was trained enough to be without her, and put her plan into action. She called a meeting between Prudentfeather and Glossystar near the moonglade, then struck. She softened their shrieks and took a new name for herself. Softenedshriek returned to camp alone and quickly demanded leadership. She ruled her clan for five days, Pineconebliss by her side, planning to start a war, to show all the clans the chaos and anger she'd felt her entire life. Until she was assassinated by a band of "do-gooders" looking for quick glory and praise.
