Welcome, young reader, to Dreams of Destiny.
Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors. If I did, Millie would die painfully.
Dark gray clouds blew over a parched landscape. A black tom with white paws sat on the Tallrock, eyes closed as he faced the coming storm. After almost six moons of drought, rain was coming.
"Swiftstar." The tom looked down at a pure black tom with yellow eyes. "Glad to see rain again. Hopefully it comes before the lightning."
Swiftstar nodded. "You're kits are just in time for the rain, aren't they, Ravencall?"
Ravencall puffed his chest out proudly. "Stormgaze says they're due in a half-moon. At least they won't have to experience the drought."
"That is a good thing. Would you organize a few hunting patrols?"
"Of course."
Swiftstar watched him walk away, calling for the warriors and apprentices to come. I knew he was the right choice the moment I first picked him to be deputy. Swiftstar thought. He licked his paw, unaccustomed to the humidity in the air after so long of dryness. He rested his head on his paws, gazing at the horizon. There was a flash in the distance, followed by the roar of thunder. Lightning.
"Every cat to your dens!" Swiftstar yowled. Everyone, including the warriors and apprentices, who typically slept outside, quickly ran inside. Swiftstar jumped down from the Tallrock and dove into his den. His mate, Hazelfur, was already inside with a large mouse. "Thought you'd be hungry."
"Thank you." Swiftstar rubbed his muzzle against hers. "I hope no lightning strikes here."
Hazelfur settled down, her belly bulging slightly from the kits inside it. "It's more likely to hit ThunderClan's forest." She paused as the first raindrops fell. "Besides, it's raining."
As the two began to eat, a loud, abrupt wail echoed through the camp. Hazelfur's head lifted immediately. "That's Silvermoon!"
"What!? The kits aren't due for a half-moon."
Hazelfur darted out of the den and over to the nursery. Stormgaze was already inside with a nervous Ravencall pacing at the entrance. "Go fetch water-soaked moss." He nodded and raced out of camp as fast as he could, leaving long skid marks in the mud. She ducked into the nursery.
Silvermoon was writhing in her nest, her belly big despite being a half-moon early. Stormgaze put her paw on the queen's belly. "There's at least three in there."
Robinkit peeked out from behind his nest. "Did she eat them?"
"No, Robinkit." Featherstream licked Silvermoon's ears. "You'll be fine."
"Water. . . ."
"Ravencall's getting you some."
Willowlash, the other queen, came over, trying to soothe Silvermoon. Silvermoon screeched and a small bundle slid out onto the moss. Stormgaze nipped the sac open and licked its pale golden fur the wrong way. It twitched its paws and squeaked. "A she-cat!" Featherstream immediately curled around her to keep her warm.
Silvermoon looked up, purring slightly. The rumbling noise was cut off as another ripple of pain passed along her belly. Another kit slipped into the nest, this one a black one with a white mark on her chest. The final kit was a silver tabby tom. Hazelfur nudged them toward their mother's belly. "Two she-cats and a tom, Silvermoon."
Silvermoon closed her eyes, moaning. Willowlash stepped outside to bring Ravencall inside. The tom was carrying the biggest piece of moss Hazelfur had ever seen. He dropped it and ran over to his mate's side. "Silvermoon, look at me. Please, look at me!"
Silvermoon opened her eyes. "Ravencall?"
"Yes. I'm here." Ravencall licked her ears.
"Let's name our kits."
Ravencall stroked the golden one first. "Maybe Honeykit for this one?"
Silvermoon looked at the silver one. "Eelkit for that one, since he looks shiny like one."
"How about this one?" Ravencall pointed at the black she-cat with the white mark.
"That mark looks like a fang, so Fangkit?"
"If you would like it."
"Honeykit, Eelkit, and Fangkit." Silvermoon sighed and closed her eyes. Hazelfur smiled at the family and went back outside to announce the news to Swiftstar.
