Making this as short as possible -
The enemy is obviously Sekhmet and her group. She wants the power of eternal life (so she can cause terror forever) and 5 precious stones or chips. Using these chips, she can control the Tribe of Ma'at and essentially control the clans. The power of of eternal life, which are the powers of the ankh and the scarab beetle, resides in two cats, one from the Children of Ra and one from the Wings of Iris, according to an age old prophecy. The two siblings don't know about their power and neither does Sekhmet, but she knows they exist so she tries to kill either random cats or attack the clans to find out which cats they are so she can kill them and gain their power. The clans realize the threat and fight back, but also, more trouble follows within the clans (anyone have any good mini plot ideas?). The Tribe of Ma'at sends a dream to five chosen cats as well as to the clan leaders.
Everyone who receives a dream gets this part:
The hawk-slashed face of battle will unite, with the wild eyes that burn like flickering flames. Two cats they each claim as enemies, will bond in friendship in return. The tail that waves like a jackal with boundless joy, and the voice that strains with the winds, and speaks of heartless words. Together the four will be joined by the foreign one of wisdom.
Together they must stop the shadows of elements. Out balancing the others, collect the chips. Chips of power, or most likely, chips of life. Be wary for Sekhmet, the queen of never-ending destruction, for she too, will want those chips. Go, to the the towering ancient stones of the Upwalkers, and your quest you shall begin.
Only Battlehawk (one of the chosen) receives this:
But, a clue of what you are looking for, will lie in the stones. Flames that burst eternal nights shall guide the hawk of boulders. Within the rolling the deserts, the light that shall spark, will be your first glowing chip, your first chip of life.
As four of the cats meet at a Telling, they realize that they must go on the journey, first traveling to the Chambers of Spirits (which is what 'towering ancient stones of the Upwalkers' mean). They meet another cat, and the journey begins to collect those five precious stones before Sekhmet can get to them. Naturally, Sekhmet sends out her own group to find them (so it's like a race to see who gets them all).
Each of the cats have their own dream telling them of one of the chips (In order):
(Akira) Run back to your home, for you are a fool to stay, Run like the darkness that covers your wisdom. There, you shall find, that is, if you survive, The rarest stone of all, in the maze of of your mind.
(Jackalray) Tawny jackal that dreams of water, Shall find your catch in the raging Nile. Beware of those that would drown a teardrop, As you fight the power of life.
(Callingvoice) When one drowns, you get pushed in, To travel into the calling unknown. Temper voices mingled with raging winds, Find thy chip fast, or risk great loss.
(Flickeringeyes) Brother of the first, stealer of the last, Observant eyes shall notice the chip. Flames that still burn that devour the earth, As it shines within the patch of dirt.
As they travel around the Nile valley and collect the stones, the clan's group has 3 of the stones and Sekhmet's group have 2. As the clan cats head home, they lure Sekhmet's group into a battle with the two clans. Sekhmet and the rest of her clan reinforce her group. The battle rages and one of the clan cats kills Sekhmet and they collect the remaining chips...therocally crumbling the Servants of Sekhmet. (I was thinking they would become a normal clan after that) With the remaining chips, they restore the stones's precious power to the Tribe of Ma'at.
Major Cats:
Sekhmet
Battlehawk (has the power of the ankh & collects chip of fire) Flickeringeyes (has the power of the scarab beetle & collects chip of earth) Callingvoice (collects chip of wind) Jackalray (collects chip of water) Akira (collects chip of wood)
Chips Location~ Fire- Desert SW of S of S's territory (Battlehawk) Water- Nile River (Jackalrays) Earth- Oasis near Loner Territory (Flickereyes) Wind- The Desert on the other side of the Nile (Callingvoice) Wood- Inside the city of Giza (Akila)
More details will be decided once we decide if we are doing the plot.
Mini Plot Ideas
~From Khentet-Iabet:
Quote:Sekhmet sends a spy into the Children of Ra camp. The spy has orders to pretend that they are a sick or injured loner and to trick the Clan into taking them in. One moon passes, and the spy has gained valuable information, but they have also fallen in love and do not want to return to SoS.
I was thinking the spy could be Meryet. |
