Theories you need to read(But not if you haven't read Long Shadows

Okay, two things.

Number one, we have a new layout. I should think that a bit obvious. It's not fully completed yet, so be expecting more coming soon.

Number two, I have been thinking, and I have realized a few things that will make you scream(Not really).

Proof that Leafpool is the mother and Crowfeather is the father of the three kits, then contradiction that will lead into the second theory.

Well, here we go.

I've got to let you know that with a blog, it's hard to prevent people from being spoiled, but I am going to put another SPOILER ALERT in here. If you haven't finished Long Shadows, DO NOT CONTINUE READING THIS POST.

But, if you have finished it, or you don't care, keep reading!

Now, when Squirrelflight told J, H, and L that she wasn't their mother(as discussed in an earlier post), the three were not told who their real mother was.

Then they realized that if Squirrelflight wasn't their mother, then they weren't related to Firestar, and that would make them not the three.

Only problem with this is that they all have powers, right?

This is where Leafpool comes in. She's Firestar's other daughter, and then that makes them kin all over again.

BUT: Here's where I contradict myself.

Earlier in the book, Sol asks Hollyleaf if they have 'found the three', thus hinting at the fact that Holly, Jay, and Lion aren't the three.

Now, you'll probably be saying to yourself, "That's ridiculous. Who else is Firestar's kin?"

And here's my answer.

Dawnpaw, Flamepaw, and Tigerpaw.

You see, Tawnypelt is Brambleclaw's sister, and then Brambleclaw is Squirrelflight's mate, and Squirrelflight is Firestar's daughter.

You should be shocked right about now.

But, if the three are Leafpool's kits, you can forget that theory.

But what about "have you found the three yet?"

Well, in that same book-

Okay, if you still haven't read Long Shadows and you were just ignoring my warning, YOU HAVE TO STOP READING!!! This will totally ruin the book for you, not to mention the series!

Anyway, there is a few chapters where Jaypaw goes back in time to meet the Ancients, the cats who lived by the lake before, and he is his counterpart, Jay's Wing.

He comes to the revalation that he, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf, all have counterparts in the ancient Clan, and that's what gives them their power.

Those three cats, the Ancient Holly, Jay, and Lion, might be the three cats that they have to find, as Sol mentions.

Th-th-th-that's all for now, folks!

Until next time,

Ember

Updates

Hey, everyone.

I'd like to wish you all a belated happy thanksgiving, and I'd also like to let you know that we're officially back from hiatus. 

And, as usual, we have updates planned for the site as well. First off is a new layout. That's underway, and may take a few days to get set up, but be expecting it!

The theories section, which has been long procrastinated over, will go up soon as well.

Also, just as something I'd like you to notice, I've set up a poll on what the best battle scene was.

You can choose as many as you'd like, and by battle scene we mean tactics and war, not one on one, or two on one fights.

Choose wisely, because whichever wins will get an article written on it, and that article will include tactics review, and many other things.

Until next time,

Ember

Happy thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!

I hope that you had a wonderful thanksgiving!!

Long Shadows(yet again)

As we all know, the highly anticipated fifth book in the Po3 series made its debut to store shelves today. 

I had the pleasure of walking into a Barnes & Noble and going to to the very back(Where all the kiddie books happen to be), feeling a bit self-conscious walking through the children's section, and then there it was.

Layed out in stacks of green was my one true desire.

Power of Three book No. 5, LONG SHADOWS, withy all its Sol-ey cover greatness.

Man, was that cool. 

Anyway, I was engrossed in the book from the time I left the store, and I finished it in about 2 and a half hours.

And I was jumping up and down and practically screaming like a japanese schoolgirl(Embarrasing, I know).

I've decided to come out of hiatus for a day or two and write about my new book. I just couldn't stay away.

Since this is a new book, I'm going to let everyone that hasn't read it and doesn't want to be spoiled know that this will spoil it to the very core for you. STOP READING NOW.

If you aren't one of those respectable people, please keep reading.

Now, Long Shadows was gripping from the very begging. 

Do you ever experience a book or a movie(Or videogame, for that matter) that had you holding your breath, and it was hard to make out the words on the page?

Long Shadows did that to me. I was glued to the page as I read about Ashfur trying to kill Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze in the fire, and it was like I was there, everything drowned out but Ashfur and Squirrelflights words.

When Jayfeather, at this point Jaypaw, went back in time to the Ancients and discovered his counterpart Jay's Wing, and his love Half Moon, and Stone Song, and Furled Bracken, and everybody else, I was riveted to the ink and paper of that lovely green book.

Now that I've gushed some, I can get down to business.

When Jaypaw was given his warrior name, it was, as widely expected, Jayfeather. 

Now, why The Three don't know who their real mother is, I think Vicky dropped us a hint, as does Dovey(Please don't kill me for using your theory, D).

Look at their names.

Hollyleaf. Leafpool.

Jayfeather. Crowfeather.

If that isn't a clue, then I'm a mouse, in the words of Jayfeather.

And, sticking to the theorizing of many Warriors fans, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf aren't Squirrelflight's kits.

I found this surprising. I had previously thought that only Holly and Jay were not her kits, and Lion was hers and Brambleclaw's.

BUT: She did say: "They aren't my kits.", but all three were on the stick, about to die.

I think she said this because they were going to die, and she didn't want them to. Don't get me wrong, I still think that H & J aren't her kits, but what about Lionblaze? 

If she hadn't have said that, they would have all died, right?

But what if Lionblaze was her kit, hmmm?

I know what you're thinking: Well, she said that, and she wouldn't lie to them, and she also had chance to tell him after the incident, ect, ect.

Well listen to this.

Vicky doesn't always make everything make sense. She drops hints, like with the names of H & J. 

Any smart cat who knew Leafpool, like Firestar, would have seen that, right? 

No, because she(Vicky) was dropping hints.

I think, and I may be wrong, but I think that she does this now. Let us read the part again.

        "Squirrelflight raised her head, her gaze locked on Ashfur's crazed

         eyes. 'Kill them then,' she meowed. 'You won't hurt me that way.'

         Ashfur opened his jaws to reply, but said nothing. Hollyleaf and

         her brothers stared at their mother. What was Squirrelflight say-

         ing? Squirrelflight took a step away from them, and glanced

         carelessly over her shoulder. Her green eyes were fiercer than

         Hollyleaf had ever seen them, with and expression she couldn't

         read. "If you really want to hurt me, you'll have to find a better way

         than that," Squirrelflight snarled. "They are not my kits."

Well, there it is. Ashfur was about to kill them then and there, and she said that, and it totally disconcerted Ashfur, as we see in the next chapter.

       "'You're lying.' Ashfur's voice was choked with disbelief. 'No, I'm not.'

        Squirrelflight spoke softly, but her intensity pierced through the

        crackle of the flames. 'Did you see me give birth? Did I nurse them?

        Stay in the nursery until they were apprenticed? No.' 'But I-' Ashfur

        began, then fell silent..."

    

       "...'I fooled all of you, even Brambleclaw,' Squirrelflight went on

         Scornfully. 'They are not mine.' 'And no cat in the Clan knows?'

         Ashfur's disbelief was changing into uncertainty. 'No. They're all

        as blind as you are to the truth.'..."

See? Ashfur is bewildered by this, and he doesn't kill them, instead plotting to give her away at a gathering.

I think vicky drops us the hint right here.

 

       "...'Squirrelflight?' Hollyleaf's voice quivered; Jayfeather could sense her                      disbelief  warring with fear. 'That's not true, is it? We are your kits,

         aren't we?'... 'I'm so sorry,' Squirrelflight whispered. 'I should have told

         you the truth a long time ago.' 'What do you mean?' Lionblaze demanded..."

And it goes on with even more misery and sadness on Hollyleaf's and Squirrelflight's parts.

I think that Squirrelflight was only saying this to protect Lionblaze, as stated before.

Later on, he(Lionblaze) wonders what Tigerstar will think of him not being his grandson, but Tigerstar only says that he doesn't have to worry about the prophecy anymore. Why would TS go on training him when he's not even related to him, hmm?

I think this was put in place just to catch fans off guard. I mean, the whole thing was pretty much already figured out, and I'm guessing Vicky will want something else to surprise her fans with, right?

Well, we'll see. 

Until next time,

Ember

       

         

Can't wait!

I can't wait 'till Long Shadows comes out! even though I know who the traitor is, I want to find out how it happened; I love being spoiled and then finding out how it happened(Ember usually tells me the secret and then tells me the story behind it). ;) 

Anyway, I can't wait 'till it comes out!!!!!!!!!!! 

Seekers

So, by the means of my cousin(I would never waste money on it), I have obtained the first Seekers book, called The Quest Begins. An appropriate title, I suppose.

Well, let me tell you, I expected this book to be lame, and it didn't rise past my expectations. It was lame.

The whole thing is set up almost exactly like Warriors. In fact, I would call it a Warriors knock-off, if it weren't by the same authors. I just cannot believe that Vicky created this. Blah.

First of all, the book started out with Kallik, the polar bear, A.K.A the main character. She was with her family, which, not far into the book, get demolished, Taqqiq, her brother, and Nisa, her mother.

Then it went to Lusa, the black bear, who, I was surprised to find, lived in the zoo with her mother, Ashia, her father, King, and a random cub named Yogi(Ha ha), and another random bear named Stella. I started to think that it might be better than I expected.

Then Toklo happened.

Toklo is the brown bear, or the grizzly bear. He and his mother Oka, and his little brother Tobi, are traveling through the valley that they live in.

Tobi is a sickly little bear, and Toklo hates it that his mother is always making a huge fuss over him.

The mother abruptly decides that they need to go to the river to get salmon, so that the cubs don't die.

Long story short, Tobi dies on the way, and then Oka goes insane. At the river there aren't any salmon, because the bear spirits have been angry, or at least that's what everyone thinks.

Toklo is almost killed by a large male bear who wants to eat him, and Oka just leaves him, saying, "I can't do this. I can't watch my cubs die. I won't let it happen again." Then, to Toklo, "Leave me. Leave this territory. We're all going to starve here. If you're going to die, do it somewhere else, somewhere far away from me. Leave, and don't come back."

Yick.

Then, in Lusa's neck of the story, her mother gets sick very abruptly, then comes back very abruptly. Her father, King, who used to be in the wild, hates it to be mentioned, and gets all mean. Lusa runs away in search of the forest.

Kallik's mother is killed by Orcas, and Taqqiq is separated from her.

Thus begins our story.

The religion of the three bears varies slightly, but they all believe in 'bear spirits' that get trapped in various objects, stars, trees, rivers, ect.

This reminded me a lot of the disney movie Brother Bear, which was really dumb. If you don't believe me, go rent it and see.

Overall, I'd give Seekers about a 5 out of 10, and that's just because Vicky created it.

Until next time,

Ember

Long Shadows(Again)

Well, I've somehow figured out the release date for Long Shadows. Don't ask me how, I can't remember for the life of me.

Anyway, the release date is going to be November 25. *Does irish jig at desk and bangs knee* Yipppeeeeeeee! Exciting!

As for some speculation on LS(I'm tired of writing Long Shadows), I want your feedback(as always)!

Email me at ekaj.texas@gmail.com, and I'll post your thoughts here! 

Who will be the traitor? Will Jaypaw get his Med. Cat name? What will Hollyleaf's power be???

Who knows?

ULE over!

Yesterday many awoke to a new president in the US. Sen. Barack Obama is their new president. 

Along with that, many(including me) awoke to an Ultimate Leader. 

And guess who it was?

Firestar.

Firestar, the cat who started it all. Firestar, the cat who we grew so tired of. Firestar, the cat who made people jump up and down when he didn't help RiverClan. Firestar, the cat many hate, has won the election. Why?

It was rigged.

The polls showed Crookedstar leading in the second round of the election. Guess where Fire was?

Dead last.

When the polls re-opened most recently, they showed him with a huge lead over Crooked. How?

Most of the fans are gunning for CS, and they got FS instead. The Erins just couldn't let go.

Of course, there is a large percentage of people who aren't as into it as we are. They could just be browsing through, and they see Firestar and think, "Oh, it's him! I know him! click." Most of them wouldn't even know who the other leaders are. In theory.

This may be real or not, but at any rate, Shadows in The Light would like to congratulate Firestar for his win-rigged, or not.

Until next time,

Ember
