The Beginning
In the beginning, the first medicine cats were sought out by The Three. Hand selected by Starclan for their affinity with Stars. For Adderclan, the chosen cat was once called Kale, and she was the first to make contact with the spirit guardian of the Adder, Gnadddr. Kale was renamed Leafsong by the ancestors of old, and tasked to find the new leader of Adderclan. She would guide their new leader to the next full moon Gathering, and back to the Starpool to receive their lives.
"I am the fire that burnss in your belly. I am the warmth in your soul, I am the one who givess you the ssun, to bassk in it'ss glory. I am the burning pain of thosse who have ssuffered from my venom.... I am Gnaddr... And I have a message for you... you will be chossen to protect your Clan from my ailmentss... to keep you Clan well and thriving... You have been chosen to receive a message from me. Your leader, their personality sshines brighter than any sstar, yet their pelt iss almosst as dark as night. Their eyess.... the color of the ssun,.... eyess that put ssnakes to sshame... Thiss is your leader. You musst return them back here... sso they can be blesssed by Sstarclan's grace."

Her heart light and filled with the wonder of Starclan, Leafsong immediately set out to seek the cat who would lead Adderclan. Her search did not last long, though the chosen leader was understandably skeptical of the nonsense. It took some convincing, but soon enough Magpie and Leafsong returned to Starfalls. They drank from the pool, and Magpie was given the blessing of Starclan. Nine lives, and a new name. Brightstar.
"Kale, I thought you had more sense than this! Why are you telling me tales about magical waters and how some snake 'chose' me as leader? We should be setting up permanent camps, posting guards at the camp entrance, not drinking weird water and having fanciful dreams about snakes!"
-Magpie (Brightstar)
Brightstar and Leafsong arrived at the Gathering of Creation, and the first deputy of Adderclan was appointed From there, they returned to their home in the crags, determined to make their Clan brilliant.
"It has been a hard decision, especially since I had very little time to make it. But I believe the deputy I have chosen for Adderclan will be strong, intelligent, and decisive."
"The deputy of Adderclan will be Storm. And from this day forth, he shall be known as Stormsight!"
