"Mankind will fall, and animals shall reclaim the Wild..."
Welcome to my Erin Hunter crossover fanfic blog! This blog was created for me to share my ideas for an alternate universe story in which every book published under the Erin Hunter name took place in the same universe. This includes Warrior Cats, Survivors, Seekers, Bravelands and Bamboo Kingdom!
“ The animals of this realm have lived in relative peace for as long as anyone can remember, both with humans and with their fellow creatures. But as the planet's heat increases, the permafrost in the Poles slowly begins to melt, releasing an ancient and deadly disease. The humans, already weakened by the steady onslaught of war and natural disasters, stood no chance against the sickness. Their minds crumpled away within the grey husks of what were once people, becoming savage and bloodthirsty walking corpses. Once they realized that the sickness could also be transferred by animals, they swiftly abandoned their pets and livestock, and killing any wild beast they came across, infected or not.
But even in the midst of chaos and destruction, hope arises. Three heroes from each realm are chosen by the higher spirits to save their friends from the dying world. Every animal, wild and domestic, predator and prey, must unite as one to help each other through the trials. Mankind has fallen, and it's time for animals to reclaim their home. ”
The story will be set in a post apocalyptic setting in the middle of a sort-of zombie apocalypse (no, I'm not joking. I'm grabbing these creatures and throwing them into The Walking Dead). It'll start in Power of Three for Warriors, Realm of Lost Spirits for Bravelands, and the first book in Survivors, Seekers and Bamboo Kingdom. This will also serve as a sort of rewrite for these series as well so expect to see a lot of changes and headcanons!
Essentially, the basic plot is that humans civilization is falling apart and both animals and humans are being infected by a strange disease, not to mention the wars and other disasters. Skystar, Earth Dog, Ursa, the Great Dragon and the Great Spirit select three heroes from each of their kingdoms and sends them a prophecy showing them the destruction to come. They are tasked with a great journey to not only find a safe place to settle but to meet their fellow heroes at a neutral ground. But conflicts begin to break out between the animals, amplifying the chaos. The survivors and warriors begin to fight over the lake. The pandas struggle to find shelter as their kingdom is flooded, and the bears refuse to be generous. War breaks out between baboons and golden monkeys as one troop attempts to rule the other. It seemed as if the different species will never find a way to unite...
This is a pretty ambitious project but I'm really excited to start working on it. It's gonna have a whole bunch of entertaining culture shock, animal racism (speciesism? I don't know how to spell that..) cross tribe and cross species romance, predator-prey conflict, and a lot of other stuf. If you have any questions about it at all, you're always welcome to ask!
