-!-TW-!- Minor Gore | Horror Story | | This is a BlazeClan tale told to kits to ensure they keep their distance from The Dark Forest. Some parts of this are not cannon, most of which are about the dark forest. | Many, many moons ago, Marmot'Star, BlazeClan's old leader gave birth to a litter of a single kit. This was her first and most precious litter, however it would prove to be a monumental mistake. The kit, a white and grey patched Tom, was the clan's pride and joy. He was treasured by the clan and seemed to be healthy and strong. Meanwhile in the sky where starclan rested. A mighty war was being waged. A war between StarClan and The Dark Forest. The current leader of The Dark Forest, Red'Fur, made the decision to stage a attack. Not on StarClan, but on BlazeClan. To Red'Fur, If they could pull this off, it might scare StarClan into surrendering. However, before he could send the attack, he had to pick a cat of BlazeClan to focus it on. Well, that proved to be a extremely easy decision, because if you want to attack why wouldn't you attack the cat they love most? The kit. Most cats take the word attack and think of physical harm, something like a claw swipe or a bite, however Red'Fur had a different meaning to 'Attack'. He sent a moth down to BlazeClan. Yes, a moth. He sent this 'Moth' down to the little tom-kit in the nursery. It landed right on his head and slowly but surely, dissolved right into him. His mother, who liked to look at things in a happy perspective, took this as a good omen. She named the little kit Moth'Kit, and said to her loyal clan that he had been blessed by StarClan and would surely bring greatness to their Clan. As Moth'Kit grew to 6 moons and earned his name of Moth'Paw, his clan took a small realization to his slowly growing weakness. He was smaller than the others his age and his ability to fight was decreasing. The medicine cat of their generation, Fox'Berry, said that it must simply be that he was born a runt and he would get better soon. However that was not the case. The moth sent down by Red'Fur had carried with it a curse.
Story Cont- To this day, the curse's exact incantation is unknown. As Moth'Paw grew to Moth'Flight, his conditions only grew worse. He was small, skinny, and weak. He was placed in the Medicine den for good but even the intensive care of Fox'Berry wasn't and would never have been enough to save him from the Moth's Curse. His body steadily grew more weak and by every passing day he looked more and more like a corpse. He was eventually banished from BlazeClan as seeing him caused the clan grief beyond recognition. He was sent to the forest plains, beyond the rogues and kittypets. His body was to said to be disfigured and broken, limbs twisted and broken, face mangled and bruised, fur falling out. His bones seemed to turn bendy and were twisted beyond normal limits. He was said to not be able to be in the sun for too long as it burn his skin easily. The latest known sighting of him was only 38 moons ago, a rogue was passing the plains back to their den at night when they saw a twisted shadow in the distance, steadily creeping closer. The rogue cat had ran before seeing anymore but claimed to have seen a black ooze trail following the figure.
