-Icekit of Thunderclan-
His eyes were still tightly closed, and his white fur still not quite cleaned but all the same Sparrowfur picked him up and gently carried him to the Highrock, where the rest of the Clan were waiting. She lowered him carefully to Skystar's paws and said meaningfully, 'Skystar. This is my first and only son. Name him something beautiful.'
Skystar looked up at the Clan. 'Sparrowfur has had her litter.' He announced,'But only one kit has been born.' The clan was silent. They all looked silent and expectant. 'This kit is special. He shall be known as Icekit until he has earned his warrior name.'
The yowls of the clan continued for a good minute and when they were finished Sparrowfur hurried the kit back to the nursery as fast as she could. He shivered violently and she wrapped herself around him to try and keep him warm. She licked him until he was clean and settled down to sleep.
The next morning, Clan cats were in and out all day, admiring the kit and fussing over Sparrowfur. Her mother, Woodfoot, now an elder, came in at some un-Star Clanly hour and some young apprentices, Hollypaw and Rabbitpaw offered to give Icekit a tour of the forest. Sparrowfur had politely declined this offer, and had told a particularly disappointed Rabbitpaw that maybe some day he would be a mentor to Icekit when he was a warrior, and that he could give Icekit the grand tour then.
Suntail, the medicine cat, came to check on her just after sun-high and told her to eat this, or apply this to Icekit's belly every so long or to be careful not to do this or that, but eventually Sparrowfur asked her to come back the next felt exhausted.
Grasslegs, another queen, told Sparrowfur that Suntail was very a very good medicine cat, but lacked knowledge of what it was like to be a queen. 'He's great in every other respect. Just not in kitting.' She said.
Sparrowfur purred in agreement and gently nudged Icekit deep into the moss so she could get up and share tongues with the tabby queen.
