Why I think the Clans should have stayed in the old forest by Snowpaw

Snowpaw argues why the Clans should’ve stayed in the forest territories.

So hi everyone! I’m Snowpaw/flake and this is my first article – I’ll be explaining why I think the Clans should have stayed in the forest. (excluding SkyClan)

So do you guys remember Sunningrocks? Or Fourtrees? The Thunderpath? The Moonstone? What happened to all of that?! It all just disappeared!!

The forest was already home to many ancient relics, including the numerous conflicts at Sunningrocks (hey, they were interesting whenever the story got a little bit boring!) But the clans just ditched them. The apprentices stopped going to the Moonstone, for StarClan’s sake! I liked that tradition.

Now the layout. The lake territory looks more like a doughnut, so it would be really hard for, say, ShadowClan, to invade a clan on the opposite side of the doughnut (like, say, WindClan). So, in the lake territory, there wouldn’t be much action if ShadowClan tried to attack WindClan, because they don’t share a border, and would have to cross either RiverClan or ThunderClan territory. (awkward right?)

Also, tradition. Come on, like, the leaders from Gray wing’s time fought for this place, and you’re going to chicken? Look at what they did for you (so you could have a home to live in)!! Look at what you did for them (abandon the home they fought so hard for)!!!

And what about RiverClan? We’ve hardly heard from them since they moved to the lake. (before ASC and Frostpaw)

The journey drained Tallstar, one of my favourite leaders. The journey made him nothing. He disappeared. We never see him again. It’s so sad!! And what about Marshkit (uh, that was his name right?) Remember him? The one who almost got carried off by an eagle? He could have died!!! Thank StarClan for Brackenfur!

Of course, all that I just talked about was assuming twolegs weren’t a thing, though I still think even if the twolegs stayed, the Clans would have thought of some genius plan to get rid of them and fight for their ancestors, instead of running away. (hey, I mean, the Clans are actually really smart)

Personally, I think the forest territory was better than the lake, but that’s just my opinion, and I’m interested in your opinion, so put your vote down in the comments 😀
