A new threat has entered the forest. - August 29th
It seemed like a typical, average day to the three clans- an average day like how it was before the flood. But all three leaders had the unsettling sensation that something was about to go terribly wrong... As everything began to die down for the evening and go quiet so the clans would rest as they usually did, a yowl erupted from the land of Truce, belonging to none other then a young apprentice. Many began to arrive to the scene.
It soon became apparent why the youngen had erupted such a resonate yowl... the dead, mangled and mutilated body of a LichenClan warrior known as Silverbrook could be found pinned up against a tree.
Her lacerations are as followed:
The right side of her face swollen, probably from being batted at with a large paw continuously.
Claw marks running from her shoulders, down her back.
Claw marks on her chest, and deep bite marks upon her underbelly.
Her front right leg broken, showing sign of a struggle to get away but failure.
A large, thick and pointed branch forced into her underbelly. Medicine cats say this probably occurred after her getting pinned against the tree, the blood loss from it being the thing that killed her.
And finally a small claw mark on her underbelly that was none other then the sigil of the Dark Forest... Three lines, and then one going across like a tally mark.. this represents the three head Virtues of the Dark Forest and the ruler known as Wraith.
No one is sure why someone would want to kill Silverbrook, who has always been a kind and loyal warrior with no problems at all. The theory is that she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time...
UPDATE SEP 13 NEWLY FOUND BODY
Bramblestep of BoulderClan was reported to be seen running away from something, but the patrol thought nothing of it and moved on, thinking he was merely a rogue crossing into HollowClan
But it became evident later when his body was found sprawled out across the river stones, his head thrown back in the water, his neck cut open and the same marking that Silverbrook had was printed on his body; three claw marks with a slash going through them.
The murderer was seen leaving Bramblestep. All that is known of them is that they are dark pelted, big and agile with sharp, piercing eyes.
SEP 27TH - CROWFACE
Several LichenClan members mourn for the loss of their beloved elder, Crowface as she was found killed, throat wide open and other lacerations out in the forest. This murder's hint is: green eyes.
OCT 11TH - CICADASONG
For many moons the clans believed the killer/s were of HollowClan... that is, until a HollowClanner known as Cicadasong was found killed in the Trucelands.
Cicada had her head slammed brutally against a tree, causing blood splatter across the bark. Medics say that if it weren't for the slamming upon her throat that killed her, she would have died a very slow and painful death. The Clans believe this hints our killer is at least somewhat merciful.
Cicada, like all the other victims, had the sigil of the Dark Forest upon her chest. Three lines with a single one striking through.
The clans are very blameful, wary and frightened now... the fact that only one of our own could have done this is indeed a scary and unsettling fact.
There have been some "suspects" listed.
LICHENCLAN SUSPECTS
- Crowstar : It's come to light that the murderer has green eyes, but does that get Crowstar out of the loop completely? Many are coming up with more radical theories saying it could have only been a two warrior job.
- Foxjaw : Fox, as of late, is now the clan's top suspect. He has green eyes, a russet pelt, and has been very absent as of late... But Crowstar firmly believes his friend did no such thing and refuses to allow the clans to take him into custody.
HOLLOWCLAN SUSPECTS
Weaselstar : Weaselstar was recently spotted by a loner wandering about Lichen territory entering the Forest's Mouth, which has been noted to be a place of darkness. She was found leaning over Cicadasong's body and didn't seem to hold too much care for her, but instead was angry and defensive.
BOULDERCLAN SUSPECTS
None right now. Blame your beloved friends today.
LONERS/ROGUES
Shiverstar : Matches the description (for the most part) and is a very large and heavy tom. He's been known to be violent, but many who were formerly his friends before he entered rogue life believe that Shiver has morals and would not kill unless needed... still, he does follow the Dark Forest...
**If you reported someone but they aren't on the list, chances are I just don't know which clan they belong to and will add them when I find out ._. **
