"Hi," a small white kitten with one blue eye and one green eye called to the newcomers. "You, yes, you, I'm talking to you guys! I'm Heartkit, and welcome to Star Clan. I'll help you get started as a new member," she meowed.
Heartkit padded over to the river and sat beside it. "I've been here awhile," she told the group of five cats. "So even if you're a warrior, I might still be older," the kit added with an amused mrrow. "Why don't we start by telling our stories? I'll go first."
She looked into the trees bordering the river, as her tail came to rest over her paws as she sat. "I was a part of Sky Clan," Heartkit told them. "My mother was a passing queen, who couldn't care for a kit on her own. She left me with Leafstar, and all was good. She was a good substitute mother, and Billystorm was a good father to me, even though they had kits of their own. They always treated me just like the others."
Heartkit let out a small mewl of sadness. "But then I got sick. It began as white cough, and progressed to green cough quickly. Our medicine cat, Echosong, didn't have the proper herbs to cure me. I ended up dying from it, but it wasn't her fault. Our herbs, especially cat mint, had disappeared from the months of no water in Greenleaf."
She bounced slightly where she sat and wiggled her tail. "It's not so bad here, though. I really enjoy it. My mother was here to greet me and tell me her story when I arrived." Heartkit paused for a moment as it hit her. "If I'm greeting you, does that mean none of your kin are here? Or does that just mean that I'm kin of yours?"
The tiny kit made an amused purr and twitched her tail. "I suppose I'll find out soon enough, won't I?"
Hey! Welcome to my Warriors SYOC :)
I'm accepting five or more (maximum of ten) cats for this story. Basically, after they have all told their stories, they will be taught about Star Clan, watch over their kin, and have adventures. I think this will be a lot of fun for me, and for the people who submit characters!
Review or PM with your character :)
