Chapter 1:The Adventure Begins.
SwanKit blinked groggily around the dusty nursery, the suns' light drifted in revealing the sleeping, quiet bodies of her mother and sister. They were the only ones who were currently residents of the nursery. Her soft turquoise eyes blazed as she stepped out of the nursery. Suddenly, a thought struck her. 'I'm 6 moons today!' She blinked in amazement. SwanKit bounded back into the nursery, prodding her sister and mother awake. "Come on FoxKit wake up!" She mewed. Her mother yawned tiredly, her dusky brown pelt suddenly alive with a deep chestnut brown in the suns' rays. "Go away.." Grumbled FoxKit as she lazily turned over away from SwanKit. SwanKit shrugged, racing out of the nursery into the legs of her father. She stared up happily at the mottled mix of greys,whites, and blacks that was SwanKits' father.
"Daddy! I'm 6 moons!" She bounded excitedly. "Wow.. it seems like only yesterday you were just a little scamp." He cuffed her playfully. He padded over to his mate, licking her cheek fondly, his eyes full of warmth and support as he looked at his daughter. "Where's FoxKit?" He mewed staring at the two. SwanKit rolled her eyes, pointing to the black lump that indicated her sisters' shadowed body. CoalNose ducked in, and in a few moments, there was a shriek emitting from the nursery. FoxKit was now standing beside her mother, her fur ruffled, and her eyes widened in fear. "What's wrong FoxKit? You look like you've seen a ghost!" SwanKit chuckled. "Very funny." She attempted to smooth down her ruffled her fur. Before either of them could protest, OwlWing scooped them up, and groomed them until she was satisfied. CoalNose stepped out of the nursery. "So why is it OwlWing can groom you but I can't?" He teased to FoxKit. "That wasn't grooming! That was trying to drown me!" She growled. Her fur bristled.
Before they could continue, BeaverStar stepped out on the dam-like shaped den, and yowled loudly for all her ClanMates to hear. Her small rounded ears determining her name swivelled around. "Let all cats old enough to swim gather for a meeting!" She called. As if by magic, cats started pouring out listening to their leader. "FoxKit and SwanKit have reached their 6th moon, and are ready to serve their clan as apprentices," She mewed proudly. "Come up you two." Before she padded up, she looked to her parents, who gave her two nods of approval. Beaming, she bounded up to the den, scrabbling to get up. "I, BeaverStar, call upon my warrior ancestors, to look down on these two kits who are ready to learn the warrior code and provide for their clan." She mewed. "FoxKit and SwanKit, do you both promise to uphold the warrior code, listen to your mentors, and fight for your Clan at the cost of your life?" She mewed. "I do." SwanKit and FoxKit said in unison. "Then by the power of StarClan, I name you FoxPaw and SwanPaw!" She mewed. "SwanPaw, your mentor will be OtterSplash. FoxPaw your mentor will be CoralStep." She purred. SwanPaw bounded up to her mentor, touching noses, her little body was racked with energy and pride, the Clan yowled in chorus the two she-cats new names, her parents were twining their tails together happily.
