"Ashpaw, from this day forward, you will now be known as Ashheart. StarClan honors your courage and bravery," a massive white tom, Cloudstar, said in a booming voice. The sun shined down on Flashstep's back as he darted through the marsh.
"Smokepelt! Ashheart! Smokepelt! Ashheart!" DarkClan cheered as they warmly welcomed their new warriors. Flashstep was happy for his siblings, they deserved their warrior names. Sadly, he missed the ceremony, he had to look for herbs to prepare the clan for leafbare. He sniffed through the water-logged forest, looking for herbs. Finally, he picked up a scent.
Flashstep walked into a clearing of marigold, and in the center was a moss nest, filled with kits. He cringed, death scent hung heavily in the air. The medicine cat stepped over to the nest, and saw a calico she kit, a red and white tom kit, and a limp, tiny cream kit. He picked up the dead runt, and buried it. The kits looked old enough to walk and eat prey, but oddly, were passed out cold. He put the two living kits in a dead, hollowed tree, sheltered from the wind and rain.
"What do I do with them?" he murmured to himself. "Wait! The Gathering is tonight!" He went back to his clan, and waited to put his plan into action. -
"Ashheart, Smokepelt, can you help me with something?" Flashstep said worriedly.
"What is it?" Smokepelt and Ashheart said at the same time. They were on their way to the gathering, and Flashstep, Ashheart, and Smokepelt had been chosen to go.
"Umm, I found these two kits in the woods, and I wanted to bring to the gathering to see if any clan will take them," he said
" Well then, BreezeClan will take them," a voice said from behind them.
"What?!" Smokepelt exclaimed, his fur on end.
"I said, I will bring them into my clan," The beautiful BreezeClan leader, Vixenstar, said calmly.
"Oh, ok, I'll show you to where they are," Flashstep said, heading back towards DarkClan camp.
