BlazeTribe, the Tribe of the great fire-rock. They built themselves upon the peak of Big Paw, the foundation of great strength that coursed through their veins. Only the strongest among them could survive the harsh life, and in only a few generations, their power rivaled that of all other tribes combined. Despite this, they soon faced a great challenge that threatened the balance of the Warrior Code.
Smokesky, watching for many moons from his perch above his warriors, looked on to CloudTribe and how their numbers grew. Though he felt great happiness in seeing his fellow felines thrive, he couldn't shake the feeling of his Tribe's influence waning as time pressed on, and how CloudTribe seemed to be winning the favor of the other Tribes at each Gathering. Though it nicked at his pride, he came down from his mound, and along with several of his prized warriors he journeyed to Little-Paw, asking to gain the secrets to how this Tribe continued to prosper as his own Tribe saw no growth. With the aid of CloudTribe's Chief, Reedsky, the two soon reached an agreement, and BlazeTribe again began to expand.
Soon, however, a great infliction upon the Code was brought to light. CloudTribe, no doubt in their jealousy of BlazeTribe's strength, began sneaking into their territory to steal their prey from them! Smokesky's heart wept at this betrayal, but he acted quickly to ensure a just punishment be brought upon this lawless Tribe. Battles were fought between the two Tribes' warriors, and many strong cats returned home with injuries they could never recover from. Smokesky called for the aid of both WaveTribe and AshTribe, desiring for the selfish Tribe to have justice brought upon them, as they continued to thieve from BlazeTribe's lands.
Then, an even greater wound was inflicted. CloudTribe's Chieftain had been murdered, but the blame being cast upon BlazeTribe! An outcry of deceit and rage roared through the Tribes, and Smokesky watched as CloudTribe's newly appointed Chief took the helm - Gladesky, a cunning young she-cat who led her warriors into the mainland to purposefully raid and conquer territory that had belonged to BlazeTribe for generations. The three-day and three-night conflict, known now as the
Battle of Bloodied Sand to those in BlazeTribe, was the deciding factor in a war that could now not end peacefully. The initial assault by CloudTribe was swift and without warning, cutting sharply into BlazeTribe's defenses. Smokesky quickly responded by joining the battle himself, where he even lost one of his gifted nine lives in the turmoil.
After the battle, the Tribe's strongest warriors had been able to push back their assailants to their home of Little Paw, and even Gladesky lay defeated. The scraps of what remained of CloudTribe were shadows of their former glory, and in Smokesky's mercy, were lent a gentle paw to let them redeem themselves as new members of BlazeTribe. Though initially his own warriors shunned the proposition, Smokesky was sure in his sentiment that these cats were simply mislead, and the opposition was quickly silenced. BlazeTribe had grown twice its size that day, and SmokeStar led them all back to their home as one whole Tribe.
However, this peace would not last. After several moons, a resurgence of renegade CloudTribe cats had built themselves a strong enough force on Little-Paw to assault BlazeTribe once more. Without a leader, their attempted rebellion was quickly thwarted, unfortunately at the loss of many. Three young kits from the final fragment of CloudTribe were discovered, and after the counsel of all three Chieftains, it was decided they would each be separated, one for each clan.
Now, however, BlazeTribe faces another issue. Near forty moons after the great conflict, the Tribe is suffering from a great famine that is ravaging the once strong tribe. Frequently, he has called upon WaveTribe to allow them usage of Little Paw for hunting, as half of BlazeTribe had once found their home there. He fears that if they don't find a solution soon, another battle may begin, this time with his long-time friend Swiftsky. Smokesky only hopes that SkyTribe will bless the hungry Tribe before this happens.
