A purr of amusement left her as green eyes found Quail. She quite liked the other molly. The two had seasons of experience in common with each other, and that was comforting to share with another. Her attention would then be pulled towards Kindle, who offered up one of the correct answers. "Yes, that's right," She confirmed with a smile, nodding her head once towards him as praise. Young Wildflower piped up next, and Howling Wind gave a gentle shake of her head, kindly explaining, "Oh, no. You see, these cats roamed many, many moons ago, but no longer do. Perhaps cougars also came from them." Eyes glittering with thought, she next looked to Sand, who impressively listed off all three right answers. "You've got it! Lions, tigers, and leopards."
She had been toying with an idea in her mind, and she was ready to implement it into the stories. Now that they were ThunderClan, who's to say that their ancestors didn't have clans? "These big cats made up the three Great Clans," She spoke, scanning her little crowd with pricked ears. If anyone had heard these stories before, this would surely be a new addition. "LionClan, oh they were the large of them all. Massive, the size of the horses at the Horseplace. Bigger, even. They were golden, like the sun, and had massive teeth and claws. But the most noticeable thing about them was their manes that flowed in the wind and shone in the sun's rays. They were the strongest, bravest cats. Legend says we get our courage and strength from them."
"Now TigerClan, they were the sneakiest. Pelts of flame and streaked in inky black shadows. They were hardly ever seen, for they only hunted at night," She crooned, ears angling back against her head as she lowered her face to the ground, as if in a hunting crouch had she not been laying down. "They were powerful beasts, devious too. It is said they had the darkness of night in their very souls. But oh, they were determined. Once they set their minds to something, not even StarClan would be able to stop them. We get our silent feet and the ability to see after dusk from tigers."
"And last, but certainly not least, is LeopardClan. Leopards weren't as big and strong as the other cats, but they were the swiftest. They used their speed to become the best hunters in all the forest. Their pelts were golden, like the lions, except black spots covered them, like paw prints racing across their bodies. When you are pursuing prey, be sure to thank LeopardClan for the speed and the sureness in your paws that they gave you."
