Prologue-

Mintcloud looked at the kitting queen in dismay. One part of her had the hope that she would pull through the kitting but the other half of her knew that her sister wouldn't live. "Push Swiftheart!" She mewed at the brown queen who was heaving at her paws.

"I'm trying" Swiftheart snapped as her face scrunched up in pain as the first kit slithered out.

"Nip the sac then lick the fur in the wrong direction to help the blood circulate and to keep it warm" Mintcloud ordered Flamepaw who obliged. Flamepaw was Mintcloud's first apprentice and he was going well, almost finished his training.

Swiftheart let out a moan as the second kit tumbled out. This one was dark grey with dark red patches. The small kit looked stronger than her sibling and very different to her brown parents.

A loud yowl shook Mintcloud back to the present and she noticed the queen was tiring quickly. "Just one more Swiftheart keep going" she mewed as calmly as she could but she saw that Swiftheart didn't believe her reassuring words nor did Mintcloud herself. The moss had turned red from the blood flowing from Swiftheart and with one deafening yowl the last kit came out. "Lick it" she ordered Flamepaw and he did with a grim expression on his face as he licked the smallest kit.

"Troutshadow come in" she meowed sticking her head out of the nursery.

The cats were gathered outside awaiting the news of the kits. As Mintcloud looking up she saw the red streaks in the sky, a sign of dawn. Did Swiftheart really kit for this long? She thought to herself as she moved to allow Troutshadow, Swiftheart's mate, inside.

"No! Swiftheart!" He yowled, panicked, while rushing over to his mate. "Mintcloud, Flamepaw, you must help her!" he pleaded his blue eyes helplessly flicking between the two medicine cats.

"I'm sorry Troutshadow she is in the paws of StarClan now" she mewed blankly watching her sister lie on the moss nest soaked with blood.

"Troutshadow is that you?" Swiftheart asked softly.

"Swiftheart save your energy you must live" he replied.

Swiftheart coughed up blood. "No Troutshadow, I'm sorry… Let's name our kits" she meowed weakly.

"They are all healthy she-kits" Flamepaw mewed looking over to the dying queen.

"This one will be called Cloverkit" she mewed softly pointing to the dark brown tabby with a light brown underbelly which led up to her muzzle. Cloverkit and Swiftheart were almost identical except the muzzle and chin colour.

"This one" she mewed pointing to the plain pale brown smallest kit and looked outside the den at the sky. "She will be called Dawnkit" and this one she mewed pointing to the odd coloured one. "She will be called Redkit" she rasped.

"They're beautiful names" Troutshadow meowed and nuzzled his mate for the last time.
