Ambersong looked down at her kits. All five of them were perfect! The mother licked one on the head. She was a golden she-kit with black stripes and tail-tip. "What will be their names?" asked Rabbitfoot. The light gray tabby tom was Skyclan's Medicine Cat.

The golden tabby she-cat looked down at a gray she-kit with silky fur. "This one will be Mistykit." Rabbitfoot looked down at the kit. "May I ask why?" The new queen stared up at him. "Her fur just reminds me of mist, is all." The Medicine Cat looked back up at the mother. "Of course. Sorry for asking. They are your kits after all."

The she-cat was silent for a moment before looking back down at her kits. "This one will be known as Stormkit." She said this while looking down at a black tom. In her mind, the new mother thought of the kits' father; Storm. He was a muscular black tom, with deep blue eyes. Though the kits would have to grow up without knowing who their father real father was, for the tom was a loner who wanted nothing to do with the clans. This kit being her only son, she would name him after the tom.

"OW!" Rabbitfoot jumped up from where he was sitting. "What's wrong?!" Ambersong acted as if nothing happened. "Nothing. The kit just scratched me." Rabbitfoot ran over to find a scratch on her belly. "Oh my. That kit has some claws. If he was only a bit bigger, that wound you have there would be a scar." Ambersong's eyes widened before she glanced back down at her only son. "Then his name will be Scarkit." Rabbitfoot was still standing over her. What a nosey tom! I don't want him in here, really. But if something goes wrong, I will need him in here with me.

The golden she-cat sighed aloud before turning her head toward a fluffy brown and white she-kit. "Frostkit." Rabbitfoot rested his tail on the kit. "Why? It is New-leaf, not Leaf-bare." Ambersong tried her hardest not to roll her eyes, or hiss at him. Why must he ask a tired Queen why she names her kits these things? Knowing it would be rude to ignore his question, the Queen forced herself to answer. Because she reminds me of my mother, Snowtail. That is why, she thought in her head, but wouldn't tell him. Instead, she would give him the other half of the reason. "Because her fur reminds me of the frost melting; turning Leaf-bare to New-leaf. That is why. Anymore questions?"

Ambersong could not hide her annoyance in her words. Rabbitfoot flattened his ears, but said nothing more. "Oh, and this one shall be known as Mintkit!" Rabbitfoot opened his mouth to say something when Ambersong beat him to it, "Because I wanted to name one after an herb, for if we had no Medicine Cat, most of us would be dead. It suits her anyway." The mother then touched her muzzle to a white she-kit with black spots and chest.
"And the last?" Rabbitfoot stared at the golden one with black stripes. "She will be… Sparrowkit." The tom tilted his head slightly. "Sparrow is my favorite prey." purred Ambersong. "Alright, then. Sleep well. Are you sure you don't want me to get Darkstar?" The Queen's ears perked up at his name. She had told the clan that the leader was the father of her kits.

"No, thank you. I just want to lay here with my new kits, alone." Rabbitfoot nodded before leaving the Nursery. Ambersong stared down at them all. "My precious little kits." she whispered. "Have sweet dreams, my little ones." The she-cat then closed her green eyes, and drifted off into sleep.

~***~
A dark gray tom was standing in front of Ambersong's sleeping form. No cat could see him, for he was of Starclan. Others would walk right through him; not even knowing he was there.

"Skywatcher." The tom turned toward a brown and cream she-cat. "You came, Leafstar." The she-cat nodded. "Why do you bring me here?" Skywatcher motioned toward the litter of kits in front of him. Leafstar saw, and looked down toward the kits. "What about them?"
Skywatcher's eyes grew dark. "The Dark Forest lost against the clans by the lake, but they have not given up. They shall attack Skyclan, and gain more cats. Once this victory is won, they shall train once more, to go, and try to defeat the others again." Leafstar flicked an ear; her amber eyes wider. "What do these kits have to do with that?"

Skywatcher was silent for a moment. Then he made a face, and an odd sound escaped his muzzle. '"Skywatcher…" Leafstar moved toward the tom. Then the Starclan cat turned toward her; eyes shining bright like stars.

"The darkness will come to destroy all,

covering the light,

they will stand tall.

The mist will conquer,

and take control.

Unless the sparrow sings,

helped by the mole.

The forest will be saved,

and shine bright once more.

The dark will fall,

and lose the war."

Once finished, Skywatcher was back to normal. The tom shook his head, as if it were nothing, and walked toward the kits. "One is bad, one is good. We must be careful, and watch over both." Leafstar stood beside him. "Which is which?" she asked. SKywatcher continued to gaze at the kits. "I'm not sure. I have told you all that I know." Leafstar lashed her tail. "Well, that doesn't tell us much, now does it?"

Skywatcher hissed at her. "I don't know all, you know! Be lucky we at least have a way to win against the Dark Forest. That we have a clue to what it is; a hint to who it is!" The tom started to fade. "Come. We are done here." He then shimmered, and was gone.
Leafstar turned back to the sleeping kits. "Please, show yourself soon." Then she was gone.

So, how'd you like it? Again, I'm sorry about how long it took to update this. I hope it was worth the wait. Chapter 1 should be out soon enough. :D
