Hawthornkit and Goldenkit: You Will Succeed Me

Prologue

Swallowtail lay down on her side, watching her new born kits suckle with joy in her eyes. One was a dark-brown tabby tom with a white underbelly, white muzzle, white paws, and a white tail-tip and the other one was a dappled golden she-kit that looked just like Mothwing.

"Swallowtail, are you okay?" A dark-brown tabby tom with a white underbelly and icy blue eyes padded into the nursery and sat down beside Swallowtail's nest, his eyes fixed on his kits. "They look healthy," he mewed. "What do you want to name them?"

"I want to name the dappled golden she-kit, Goldenkit," the she-cat replied. "She looks a lot like Mothwing, doesn't she, Hawkfrost?"

Hawkfrost nodded. "She does. Now, I want to name the tom." The little tom looked just like his father, accept with white paws, white muzzle, and a white tail-tip, but Hawkfrost was clearly interested in his son.

Swallowtail blinked. "What are you going to name him?"

"Hawthornkit." Hawkfrost didn't bend down to nuzzle his kits, but he just gave them one more emotionless gaze and left the nursery.

Swallowtail sighed. Ever since they had settled into their new homes by the lake, she had to do her best to forget about Rainwhisker, despite how hard it was. She took Hawkfrost as a mate now, and now that they had new kits, there was no turning back. Besides, Hawkfrost was a loyal warrior of RiverClan, and he had served the Clan well, and she loved him.

Forgetting about everything that was bothering her, Swallowtail started lapping her kits with her tongue, hearing their little mews of protest. They were such fine kits; RiverClan was lucky to have them.

Hawthornkit and Goldenkit, welcome to RiverClan.
