Origins:
Seasons upon seasons ago, before the arrival of the no-tails and the creation of their caverns and colony, the Isle of Kimoa was being formed. The flow of magma and subsequent eruptions of the volcano, formed it and brought it into being from the sea floor. As the magma erupted and then subsequently cooled a mountain was formed, which would come to be called Mount Bernet. It stood as a sentinel over the island, warning of its dangerous nature and majesty.
It was then that fresh water found itself pushed up, through the rock created by cooled magma. It soon met with the resistence of simmering molten rock, but the water was able to over come the heat and forcefully lower its temperature until it became basic rock. The water soon forced itself up through several cracks into the main cavern of the volcano, and then carved a track for itself to the outside, where it tumbled down the now silent mountain to form a crystalline pool. Back then the Isle was not even an isle, but still connected by a small strip of land to the mainland.
Plant and animal life soon thrived, peacefully living in that place for many generations.
As time passed, the no-tails came, they showed very little interest in the isle, except to give it a name and to leave it be. However, they did set up a colony not three days travel away, and brought with them the first cats of the region. Soon loners and rogues followed and the Isle was seen by cats for the first time.
It still took some time before the first cats were to set paw on the island, but when a small bedraggled band of she-cats found it, they were convinced it was paradise. They found that the land bridge was almost completely destroyed, and only accessible two days of a moon, on the days of the full and new moon, when the tides were lowest.
The leader of the she-cats, Raven, led her group over the treacherous crossing, and though they lost one cat, the rest made it safely. But why had Raven come there in the first place?
